2. Centralised Complaint Management System: As an Indian citizen it will be extremely beneficial if I know which contact number to call as soon as I am in some kind of trouble. It can be related to a range of complaints related to road, water, robbery, harassment, medical services, bribe complaints etc.
4 e.) Electricity: Local Municipal Corporation should ensure availability of cheap round the clock electricity. Renewable sources of energy should be explored as a means to reduce the burden on economy
4 c.) Health: Municipal Corporation should ensure quality health services to all. Health centres should be equipped with capability to provide basic health facilities to all alike regardless of their economic background.
4 d.) Housing: Quality housing to all the citizens. Clean water supply and hygienic surrounding should be the responsibility of local Municipal Corporation.
3. Smart Parking – Rapid urbanization has lead to huge number for four-wheelers in cities. Most markets in India are clogged because people don't find sufficient place to park their vehicle which causes inconvenience for everyone. So smart parking mixed with better road planning will solve traffic problems too.
2. Water Quality Monitoring - Urban population has swelled exponentially. Ground water/Treated water are two main sources of water in households because potential of rain water harvesting is extremely underutilized in cities. So Quality of water supplied in cities should be as per global standards to protect our future generations.
1.Citizen Engagement:It is sign of good governance.Engaging citizen & considering their views, leads to better acceptance
2.Waste water to be treated:It is not an option but a prerequisite.To supply clean water to the population, you need clean water.
3.Integrated Multimodal Transport:It facilitates mobility that inherently facilitates productivity and economic growth. Results in more efficient use of all modes of transport. Facilitates safety by providing last mile connectivity
