About the program:
Indias economy is expanding rapidly and by 2030 it is expected to hav e grown by f iv e times, strengthened largely by the coun try s urban centers. In India, around 350 million
people are liv ing in urban areas and it is expected to grow up to 590 million by 2030. This accounts to nearly 40% of Indias population as compared to the present 31%. India is on
the v erge of the second greatest urban migration in worlds history with migration of about 25-30 people ev ery minute to major Indian cities f rom rural areas, in search of better
liv elihood, opportunities and lif esty les. Surging growth and employ ment opportunities in urban cities will act as a cataly st for economic growth by creating 70% of the new jobs, while
contributing in excess of 70% to Indias GDP by 2030.
The major challenge is to dev elop cities to accommodate its inhabitants and prov ide them quality lif e with the help of techno logy . With the rapid growth of inf ormation and
communication technologies, there is a growing interest in dev eloping smart cities with a f ocus on the knowledge economy , use of sensors, mobile and green technologies, to plan
