Abstract
The concept of smart cities is growing across various countries of the world as the population continues to grow. As a developing country, India has also taken up the initiative to develop and promote the smart city culture in the country. The smart city mission developed by the government was the first step towards this initiative. The mission promised to create and develop smart cities in the country that would make stand among the countries that are a part of this program.
