No more than 1.8 per cent of the funds released for Smart Cities Mission (SCM) have been utilised since its launch in 2015, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Urban Development has reported.
SCM is a flagship scheme of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government. Launched in 2015, it aims to create 100 smart cities, improve the quality of life for urban residents and steer India’s rapid urbanisation. It proposes to do this by using technology and data-driven solutions to promote investment and growth in cities.
