Smart City plans for 15 cities spread across six states and the Union Territory of Puducherry were on Monday submitted to the Urban Development Ministry.
Rajasthan, which became the first state to submit Smart City plans, has proposed total investment of Rs. 6,457 crores over the next five years for developing Ajmer, Jaipur, Kota, and Udaipur as Smart Cities.
The other states which submitted their Smart City plans on Monday were West Bengal, Kerala, Punjab, Jharkhand, and Karnataka.
While Punjab submitted a Smart City plan for Jalandhar, Jharkhand did so for Ranchi while Kerala handed in the proposal for Kochi. Bengal has submitted plans for New Town Kolkata, Bidhannagar and Durgapur. Karnataka submitted Smart City proposals for Davanagere, Tumakuru, Hubli-Dharwad, and Shimoga. Puducherry, meanwhile, submitted its proposal for Oulgaret.
Tuesday is the last date for submission of Smart City proposals to the Urban Development Ministry.
A total of 98 cities have been included in the Smart City Mission which have a cumulative population of about 130 million and together account for 35 percent of the urban population in the country.
Further, underlining the Smart City scheme's emphasis on citizen participation, 18.1 million people in the mission cities - which accounts for 14 percent of the urban population in these cities and is statistically considered to be good -contributed to the preparation of the smart city proposals.
MyGov.in has been widely used for promoting citizen participation with about 2.5 million citizens contributing to the formulation of proposals.
Upon receipt of all the Smart City Proposals, expected by tomorrow, the UD Ministry will set in motion the second stage of 'City Challenge Competition'.
Under this, proposals will be evaluated on the basis of Implementation Framework (30 percent weightage), result orientation (20 percent), citizen participation (16 percent), smartness of Pan City Solutions (10 percent), Strategy based on SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis of city (10 percent), City vision and goals (5 percent), Quality of city profiling, including identification of Key Performance Indicators (5 percent) and processes followed (4 percent).

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

By
I have made these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies at least 20 times now. Not exaggerating. I first made these when we were in the Philippines, when it was a struggle to just keep butter solid for 2 seconds on the counter, and they were absolutely incredible. I had no idea how or why, but they just WORKED. And they blew my mind in the way only a perfect chocolate chip cookie really can. But then every once in a while, they didn’t work. I’m not always super exact with my baking, but still. They were not thick and chewy and buttery like the perfect cookie should be. Some of your comments said the same things – most of the time they worked, but sometimes they didn’t. And I don’t like that. Now I’m back home in dry, cool Minnesota and I have been waiting for this day just so I could figure out what would really make these cookies awesome for you. You who live in normal climates and shop at Cub Foods. I am now speaking your cookie-baking language. Since I’m re...
