Smart cities edit
Smart Cities Mission is an urban renewal and retrofitting program by the Government of India with a mission to develop 100 cities (the target has been revised to 109 cities) all over the country making them citizen friendly and sustainable.[1] The Union Ministry of Urban Development is responsible for implementing the mission in collaboration with the state governments of the respective cities. The government has a vision of developing 100 smart cities as satellite towns of larger cities by modernising the existing mid-sized cities.
Currently Telangana state includes three Smart Cities.
