DEPwD has decided to launch the “Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan)” as a nation-wide flagship campaign for achieving universal accessibility that will enable persons with disabilities to gain access for equal opportunity and live independently and participate fully in all aspects of life in an inclusive society.

EDUCATION" - Educate citizens how to live in a city. Our minds and activities must have to be an educated human being. Problems like - Artificial flood, Illegal land grabbing and building structures, cleaning and clearing slums including anti-social activities must have to solve permanently before thinking of a "Smart City".
