eGov
|July 2018 - Rajkot
Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has been implementing ICT solutions such as integrated command and control centre, intelligent traffic and integrated transport management system, SCADA for water and sewage, smart waste bins to improve the quality of life in Rajkot, says Banchhanidhi Pani, Commissioner, Rajkot Municipal Corporation, in conversation with Hemangini Kanth Rajput of Elets News Network (ENN).
Which aspects will make Rajkot Smart City unique in becoming a model for other aspiring cities?
During citizen engagements and various workshops conducted as part of the Rajkot Smart city project, it came to the fore that one of the major strengths of Rajkot is its large industrial base and a culture of entrepreneurship. In Rajkot Smart City proposal, we wanted to leverage this culture and further foster it. As of now, the entrepreneurship in this region is confined to small and medium scale industries. We will be creating infrastructure not just to support small and medium scale industries but also to foster innovation in the field of information and communication technology. In the proposed greenfield development as part of the Area Based Development (ADB) plan, we have planned an incubation centre, a convention and an exhibition centre. The aim is to project Rajkot as an innovation hub and a lighthouse for the Saurashtra region. We expect a large number of jobs to be created via this boost. This is something other aspiring cities can also look forward to.
What challenges Rajkot is facing at present and what solutions do you propose to overcome them ?
