  • ITS will deliver positive impacts to a variety of social and economic groups. It will have widespread physical coverage ranging from slums, old city, CBD, wholesale markets, transport nodes, new developed areas, recreational areas to institutional areas. It will benefit tourists and visitors to the city improving their overall city experience. ICT will drastically improve user convenience. It will also improve the performance and reliability of the system (thus benefitting users not friendly with technology). More significantly, its impacts will go beyond physical inclusion to create SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, and ENVIRONMENTAL inclusion. It will ensure a better standard of living for city inhabitants with less noise pollution, better air quality, better utilisation of public space and increased road safety for all road users, especially the elderly, children and specially-abled.
  • Waste Management is not only the biggest national concern but also a priority concern of every citizen. The spectrum of inclusion is similar to that of ITS, covering every citizen. It will have a visible, health and also social improvement in the city effecting every citizen.

Implementation of Smart Classrooms inGovernment Schools, Indore

Under social aspect Indore Smart City has been identified 11 Government Schools as a pilot project for PAN City Area to improvised 100 classrooms from “Traditional” to “Smart” Classrooms. The idea of the project was to implement Smart Classrooms equipped with School Management System, Learning Management System, Classroom Infrastructure and IT Infrastructure which leads to significant improvement in quality of education.
