In this regard, Citizens of Gandhinagar are requested to participate actively in all Citizen Engagement process and enable our city to successfully accomplish the vision of the Smart City Mission through a meaningful envisioning exercise and enable us to identify the priority areas of physical, social, economic and institutional infrastructure.
