For developing SMART CITY first we have to make our people/community SMART. We have to educate our peoples / community to contribute towards cleanliness of area/roads etc. proper use of public properties and conservation of public properties.

We want our food & security department to strictly check the purity of #NimbuShikanji which are being sold at almost each street of #Rajkot, #SmartCity #MyGov

Thanks to Rajkot Municipal Corporation for selecting me in SMART City Competition on Third Rank .....Thanks to Jnnurm Department ....#SmartCity, #Rajkot, #MyGov

A city is not smart until it manages its waste well. Waste management process should be decentralised and locality based, quick and real time. It is surprising to note that 70% of waste is organic in nature & can be reprocessed before it becomes waste or, thereafter, can be recycled in a sustainable manner. We have invented a Green Waste Reprocessor machine which re‐process all green reject and converts it into valuable by‐products.More details can be found on www.cleanindiatech.com #SmartCity

If we have more culture theater like #HemuGadhviHall, and with world class facility in it, it will be a bench mark for other cities to follow ! #SmartCity, #Rajkot, #MyGov

In RUDA, for street lights and road lights, if #MyGov can use LED Solar Lights, than it will really nice. However, this can also be implemented for inside main city as well. #SmartCity, #Rajkot,

There are many places, where new trees has been planted. Here more important thing is to provide those all trees daily enough water supply. Otherwise they will not sustain more than couple of days, and all the efforts will go in vain ! #SmartCity, #Rajkot, #MyGov

A great step in sewage management is to process then sewage in BIOGAS units and use the biogas as fuel.Not only this,the biogas sewage sludge which is left over can be used as manure or landfill for growth of POPLAR,which is a shrub which grows into adult plant size in under one year.So an ANNUAL POPLAR BASED SHORT ROTATION COPPICE can be initiated at urban level.This poplar harvest(WOOD) can be used BOTH FOR PLYWOOD MAKING AND THERMAL ELECTRICITY GENERARATION FROM CHARCOAL.PLEASE DON,T WORRY ABOUT CO? FOOTPRINTS WHEN I HAVE SAID'THERMAL ELECTRICITY' , BECAUSE THIS IS A CLOSED CYCLE CO? GENERATION.That means whatever co? is generated by this year's poplar is actually utilized by the next year's poplar crop.This technology is presently being used in England.The requirements needed for this project would be a large piece land,thermal electricity generation machinery,wood cutting manpower and machinery for cutting wood into small chips(for efficient combustion) as well as a very very efficient system for collection of sewage and organic waste.It is best if we can promote WASTE SEGREGATION AT SOURCE.The organic waste consisting of kitchen waste,dried biomass like leaves etc. can also be added to biogas chamber along with sewage.The non organic waste like plastic SHOULD BE RECYCLED.AGAIN FOR THIS ALSO,WE HAVE A GOOD TECHNOLOGY WITH ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT AND THAT IS CALLED "solar rotational molding" by LIGHTMANUFACTURING.COM.By this technology we can mold the thermoplastic waste into useful products like dustbins,water tanks,etc.SPECIAL MENTION OF PLASTIC BOTTLES:THESE CAN BE USED TO CREATE MANY ACTIVE AND CREATIVE THINGS OF EVERYDAY USE SUCH AS TOYS,MONEY PURSES,ETC and even STREET LIGHTS.YES,STREET LIGHTS.VISIT liter of light.com to know more.PAPER WASTE CONSISTING OF papers ,cardboards etc. constitutes about 50% of an average Indian dustbin.All this paper can be recycled.Many of our municipal corporations are trying to get rid of all this waste by just incinarating it.BUT BELIEVE ME INCINERATION WON'T HELP IN THE LONG RUN.IT ONLY ADDS MORE CO?TO THE ATMOSPHERE.Waste segregation at source and proper processing of solid waste both from dustbins and latrines can alone help our 'SMART CITIES' to : 1)efficiently handle wastes 2)create more job opportunities 3)create a more eco friendly city with minimum carbon credits 4)create amenities such as plastic,wood,electricity,paper within the borders of the city so as to improve the services to people. HOPING TO FIND ALL THESE TECHNOLOGIES IN OUR CITIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE THANKYOU

If #RMC can build an #Observatory out side the city, and with free entry to students, can encourage them to explore the infinite universe. #SmartCity, #Rajkot, #MyGov

Time to time, organize inter-school science festival, and host those festival in #RMC schools. And announce some prize as well for good projects. And during those days, get a big screen, and display some amazing stuff, which are being explore by others. (Check youtube video). Such videos will encourage students to do more and more exciting stuff in science, and eventually this will help #Rajkot to become #SmartCity. #MyGov
