STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY OF PARTS (a) to (e) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. *9 (9th POSITION) FOR ANSWER ON 11.12.2018 REGARDING SMART CITIES. 

(a) to (e): There is no universally accepted definition of a Smart City. Each selected city has formulated its own vision, mission and proposal for Smart City development that is appropriate to its local context, resources and levels of ambition. This development is through twin strategy of Area Based Development (ABD) and Pan-city Development. ABD looks at development of compact areas in a city to create a replicable model for other areas within the city. Pan-city development envisages application of selected Smart solutions to the existing city-wide infrastructure. Overall objective is to improve quality of life of the citizens. 

100 cities have been selected for development as Smart cities in four rounds as below: 

          The Central Government shall give financial support to the extent of Rs. 500 crore each to these cities over a period of five years and an equal amount, on a matching basis, is to be contributed by the State/Urban Local Body (ULB). 

       It takes around 12-18 months to set up Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), procure Project Management Consultants (PMC), hire necessary human resources, call tenders and issue work orders. The implementation plan is given by each Smart City in its Smart City Proposal (SCP). The timeline for completion of projects is given below: 

        A total of 5,151 projects worth Rs. 2,05,018/- crore have been included by the selected 100 cities in their Smart City Proposals. These projects are executed through convergence of resources from Central/State Government/Local Body as well as externally funded Schemes/projects. It also envisages around 20% of funding through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). 

      So far, Rs. 13,846.20 crore have been released to State Governments/Union Territories (UTs) under the Mission. As on 30th November, 2018, 2,342 projects worth Rs. 90,929/- crore have been tendered, of which 1,675 projects worth Rs. 51,866/- crore are under implementation/have been completed. The pace of implementation of projects has picked up significantly during the last one year. There has been a 290% increase in projects tendered, 332% increase in projects grounded/completed and 479% increase in projects completed since October 2017. 

       This has been made possible through Ministry’s is regular interaction with the States/Smart Cities through video conferences, review meetings, field visits, regional workshops etc. at various levels to assess the performance of the cities and to handhold them for improving the same. Besides the guidance of domain experts participating in the regional Workshops, cities also benefit from peer-to-peer learning during various interactions. 

       At the national level, the implementation of Smart Cities Mission is being monitored by an Apex Committee headed by Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. At State level, State level High Powered Steering Committee (HPSC) chaired by the Chief Secretary has been established. A Smart City Advisory Forum at the city level comprising of District Collector, MP(s), MLA(s), Mayor, CEO of SPV, local youths, technical experts etc. has been constituted in each Smart City to advise and enable collaboration among various stakeholders as per Smart city guidelines. Besides, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs nominee Directors on the Boards of SPVs are also monitoring the progress in respective cities on a regular basis. 

        As on date, all 100 cities have incorporated SPVs, 91 of them have set up PMCs and all 100 have constituted City Level Advisory Fora.
