On Nov 20 2014, the Union Cabinet, under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi announced three schemes as its first steps towards 24x7 power supply for all: (1) Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) (2) Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DUGJY) and (3) North Eastern Region Power System Improvement Project (NERPSIP).

The IPDS is an extension of the ongoing R-APDRP program and carries forward the targets and outlays envisaged in the previous program. The scheme promises immediate sanctions and contracts for execution of projects and completion within 24 months from date of award of projects. Total capital outlay of INR 326 billion has been sanctioned for IPDS.

The DDUGJY carries forward the RGGVY targets and sanctions for rural electrification with special emphasis on agricultural feeder separation and strengthening of sub-transmission and distribution infrastructure including 100% metering of DTs, feeders and consumers in rural areas. Total capital outlay of INR 430 billion has been sanctioned for DDUGJY.

The NERPSlP for the six States of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura and Nagaland is a step towards strengthening of the Intra State Transmission and Distribution System. Funded as a 50:50 partnership between the World Bank and the Ministry of Power, this program has an estimated cost of INR 51 billion including capacity building expenditure of INR 89 million (capacity building to be funded entirely by the GoI).

Both IPDS and DDUGJY are designed with 60% grant from GoI, 30% loan from PFC/REC and 10% own funding by State/Utility. These schemes are major steps towards meeting the national objective of ‘Power for All’ and are set to revolutionize the entire power sector in India.

Smart Cities Program in India

A Smart City uses smart computing technologies to make the critical infrastructure components and services which include city administration, education, healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation and utilities – more intelligent, interconnected and efficient.

Developed nations with reliable physical infrastructure (electricity, water, transport etc.) and minimal population growth are focusing on asset optimization, operations monitoring, data communications and analytics for making their cities smarter. However, developing countries where cities have inadequate physical infrastructure, need to focus on building modern physical infrastructure that are scalable, intelligent and interoperable to build smart cities.

The Government of India has embarked on an ambitious program of developing 100 Smart Cities on fast track. India with a federal democratic structure need the cooperation and coordination of federal government, state governments and urban local bodies to build smart cities. Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) has been made the nodal agency for driving the smart cities program.

MoUD conducted several brain storming sessions with various agencies and prepared a Concept Note for development of 100 Smart Cities (http://bit.ly/1xReZwt) that describes the basic principles, guidelines for selection of 100 cities; and process for implementation and capacity building. The salient points are:

It is proposed that 100 cities to be developed as Smart Cities may be chosen from amongst the following:

• One satellite city of each of the cities with a population of 4 million people or more (9 cities)

• Most of the cities in the population range of 1 – 4 million people (about 35 out of 44 cities)

• All State/UT Capitals, even if they have a population of less than one million (17 cities)

• Cities of tourist, religious and economic importance not included in above (10 cities)

• Cities in the 0.2 to 1.0 million population range (25 cities)

Several international agencies have jumped into developing guide lines and standards for smart cities. Notable amongst these initiatives are SCC and ISO efforts.

SCC released the Smart Cities Readiness Guide at the Smart Cities World Congress at Barcelona in November 2013 and issued an updated version in August 2014. This guide describes Smart City Responsibilities, Smart City Enablers, Benefits of Universal Targets and an indicative Framework of how city responsibilities and enablers are inter-related. These are explained in the following paras:

Smart City – Enablers

1. Instrumentation and Control

Need and challenges for developing smart cities in India

Top priorities in a smart city are good education, better healthcare and an honest and responsive government. People want to live in cities that can provide efficient transportation, high-bandwidth communications and healthy job markets. Cities compete to secure investments, jobs, businesses and talent for economic success and are increasingly turning towards technology to help them.

Indian cities today face mounting challenges – exploding population, lack of basic infrastructure, environmental degradation, increasing number of new and unregulated markets, lack of tax bases, growing inflation and rising crime rates. Indian smart cities are going to be a reality soon that need appropriate framework and acceptance from all stakeholders for the betterment of not just the current generation but for coming generations as well. Ministry of Urban Development is doing a commendable job to make this mission a grand success!
