Our City Bidhannagar is a part of Round 2 of the Smart City Challenge. This challenge requires the cities to develop a proposal keeping the citizens at the center. Smart cities aim at improving the quality of life of citizens by providing them with safety and security at all points of time, giving them access to all necessary civic amenities and ensuring culture and environmental preservation.
