The Smart Cities Mission is an initiative launched by the Government of India in 2015 aimed at developing urban areas into sustainable and efficient cities. The mission focuses on enhancing the quality of life for residents through improved infrastructure, better public services, and the use of technology. It encourages cities to adopt smart solutions for urban challenges, such as traffic management, waste management, and energy efficiency. Under this mission, selected cities receive funding and support to implement various projects that promote economic growth and environmental sustainability. The goal is to create cities that are not only technologically advanced but also inclusive and resilient, ensuring a better living experience for all citizens.
