About Smart City
A developed urban area that create sustainable economic development and high quality of life
by excelling in multiple key areas such as: Economic, Mobility, Environment, People, Living
and Government excelling in these key areas can be done so through strong human capital
and/or Information communication technology infrastructure. Smart Cities objective is to
promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens,
a clean and sustainable environment and application of Smart Solutions. The focus is on
sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas, create a
replicable model which will act like a light house to other aspiring cities. The Smart Cities
Mission of the Government is a bold, new initiative. It is meant to set examples that can be
replicated both within and outside the Smart City, catalysing the creation of similar Smart
Cities in various regions and parts of the country.

Smart City Plan

20
SMART ENERGY
As Indias population continues to grow, more citizens will move to cities. Experts predict
that about 25-30 people will migrate every minute to major Indian cities from rural areas in
search of better livelihood and better lifestyles. It is estimated that by the year 2050, the
number of people living in Indian cities will touch 843 million. To accommodate this massive
urbanization, India needs to and smarter ways to manage complexities, reduce expenses,
increase efficiency and improve the quality of life. Government of India has allocated ` 70.6
billion (USD 1.2 billion) for Smart Cities in Budget 2014-15, it is just an initial investment to
develop smart city rest funding will be done every year accordingly. It is yet not declared that
how much part of this budget will be allocated to develop the Industrial capital of
Rajasthan.
My proposed plan is to implement the under given points to build kota a smart city:
Using the creative power of new technologies to serve Kota and improve lives living in the
city of Kota. My proposed plan is to set up a 100 MW solar park by the ministry of new and
renewable energy at the location of Morak situated nearby NH 12 also having a Rail transport
facility. A 100MW plant annually produce 15,00,00,000 Units by using graphite and silicone
in solar cells which requires 7.9 Acres of land for producing 1 MW electricity. Which will
start initiating in our mission to establish a smart grid belt around the country which aims to
produce 30000MW of new power generation capacity from renewable energy as per the five
year plan of government 2012-17.
My plan is to implement an offshore wind farm which is located near by the river of Chambal
with the motive to produce energy from the natural environment rather than exploiting of
natural minerals e.g. Coal which may become extent. The natural windmill plant production
depended on the height of windmills such as:
WIND MILL LENGTH OF CHURNER CAPACITY
17 M 75 KW
30 M 300 KW
50 M 750 KW
70 M 1500 KW
80 M 1800 KW
100 M 3000 KW
125 M 5000 KW
150 M 10000 KW
250 M 20000 KW

21
Two locations are proposed to plan is to implement this project at the location behind
Dadwara area of station or behind NH76 kota bypass near to the Rajasthan Technical
University because these two locations have a turning point of the river which provides the
flow of wind required for the offshore wind farm, this plant will help to develop electricity.
One more plan should be followed which is from high voltage lines to each household
electricity web of wires should be underground.

Another proposed plan is to connect the households and industries by Gas pipeline with smart
gas meter the pipeline project is given to Kalpataru Power Transmission Limited (KPTL)
by GAIL INDIA LTD. which have to spread 143.072Km gas pipeline between kota-
bhilwara my request to GAIL India is to robust the work and to complete the project as soon
as possible.

WATER AND WASTE WATER

MANAGEMENT
The Indian Ministry of Water Resources plans to invest USD 50 billion in the water sector in
the coming years. In Kota, Department of atomic energy plant for the production of heavy
water for atomic energy generation has taken several steps to reduce its environmental
footprint, all of which are particularly significant because it is the country's first indigenous
heavy water plant. Sewage treatment plants have to be installed at the plant and in the
residential colonys and sewage effluent is to be recycled for gardening uses. Several
technical processes for reducing chemical use and recycling used chemicals such as
Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and sour oil have to be put in place. To build a smart city of India
we must have to supply water of the city by measuring according to the INDIAN
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR DRINKING WATER: 10500 given by the ministry
for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation which also coves some of
the aspects of sanitation status in Kota as a smart city.

I proposed to set up an advanced water waste treatment plants which process and removing
contaminants from wastewater, including household sewage and runoff (effluents). It
includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and
biological contaminants after recycling the waste water we can use it in the gardening of
plants and trees which are located within the city of kota.

22
In Kota, we have three main drain canals which is open and covers Vighyan Nagar, Sanjay
Nagar, Pratap Nagar , Shreenath Puram, Talwandi, Mahaveer Nagar, Indra Vihar, Dadabari
the high densely areas. The well-known educational institutes are also playing a big role in
Unclean KOTA city. All those should be connected with each other and locate a waste water
treatment plant at the location of R.P.S Colony behind Dushahara Ground.

Two more waste water lakes are present in the city of Kota which should be changed into
clean water by the help of waste water management system. The first one is located behind
Shri Ram Fertilizer and the second is near railway colony well known for its dirt commonly
called as KALA TALAB.

SMART TRANSPORTATION
The electric and hybrid vehicle industry in India is virtually non-existent. In Kota we should
install the intelligent traffic lightening system. The Government of India has announced a
budget of Rs 1,400 crore over the next two years on incentives and subsidies for
manufacturers and buyers of electric vehicles to target six million electric vehicles on Indian
roads by 2020. To make this a reality, the government has announced a scheme named Faster
Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles in India (Fame India).
According to these information all adaptation is on futuristic basis and the smart cars, electric
vehicles are not easily available even the KOTA city do not have any showroom of an
electric car. So up to some tine we need to follow the things which are currently available for
building Kota as a SMART City.

My proposed plan is to increase the easiness in the mobility of the peoples living in KOTA.
Our aim is to build a city that encourage development to be compact and dense, where the
map should be planned in such a way that the transportations will be easily available with the
walk of 20 minutes. The passenger can buy a ticket online or by automatic ticket machine
available on bus stop. The automatic machine is connected with the Management Information
system where the person can search of all his routes , vehicle location system, passenger
information system and the bus number in which he should change his rout off , every bus
stop will be properly designed and an automatic digital schedule board will display the time
of next bus stop.

23
Kota do not have over bridges for pedestrians on highways and large distance crossings
which enforce them to cut the roads by walking and jump from the divider rather than
crossing. Even National Highways 12 of Kota-Bundi & Kota-Jhalawar in kota do not have
dividers for left had transportation and right hand transportation.

The LEDs should be lamped on the street lights also a data capture sensor should be fixed
with the lamp light with all the facilities such as:
Movement of Public and transport
Temperature
Acceleration/Movement
Positions
Light (intelligent weather adaptive lightning in streets)
Electromagnetic field levels
Smartphone detection facility (Any device work with Wi-Fi / Bluetooth interface)

To help reduce these crash and crime statistics, roads technology is to develop rapidly to
prevent the former and deter the latter. Hence, medium or long-term road safety plan in Kota
is to be prerequisite for achieving sustainable improvements in road safety.

One of the top most issue related to transport facility is Kota to be connected with the flits.
The resent government had come up with a plan to setup the Airport on the national highway
12 also known as Jhalawar Road, with the starting up of aviation services in Kota will boost
the economy of kota as a smart city. National road and transport policy underlines the
importance of ITS in the road and highway infrastructure including technologies in real time
traffic flow management, Red light violation detection system, parking availability, vehicular
traffic, and a basic geographic information system (GIS). Some broad categories of ITS
technologies are as follows:

Automated speed enforcement. Incident management.

Electronic toll collection. Traveller information.

Vehicle control technologies like intelligent cruise control and speed alerts.

SMART GOVERNANCE
Digilocker
Digital Locker is a key initiative under Digitalize all the system work by eliminating the use
of physical documents and enables sharing of verified government issued or self-uploaded
electronic documents across agencies. Digital Locker provides a dedicated personal storage
space in the cloud to citizens, linked to citizens Aadhaar number. It will enable various
organizations registered on Digital Locker to push certificates of citizens directly in their
Digital Locker in electronic format.

A single platform where citizens can also upload and securely store the scanned copies of
legacy documents in Digital Locker. These legacy documents can be electronically signed
using eSign facility. A citizen can share these electronic certificates online with various
departments and agencies registered on Digital Locker while applying for the services
provided by them. Thus, Digital Locker brings the citizens, issuers and requestors on one
platform.

My proposed plan is to make a compulsion that every student in kota must have its Digital
Locker which provide secure access to documents issued by various agencies. It uses
authenticity services provided by Aadhaar. For applying in all the government forms
Digilocker should be mandatory to link on the portal which will help to minimize the use of
physical documents by use of the electronic documents. It is easy to validate the authenticity
of these documents as they will be issued directly by the registered issuers and thereby
provide information from the source of truth. Digital Locker will reduce the administrative
overhead of departments and agencies due to reduced or zero paper work. It will also make it
easy for the residents to receive services by saving time and effort as their documents will
now be available anytime, anywhere and can be shared electronically.

SMART MEDICAL CARE
Online Registration System (ORS) should be started in KOTA, Link various hospitals across
the city for Aadhaar based online registration and appointment system, where counter based
registration and appointment system through Hospital Management Information System
(HMIS) has been digitalized. The application has been hosted on the cloud services of NIC
(National Informatics Centre). Portal facilitates online appointments with various
departments of different Hospitals using eKYC data of Aadhaar number, if patient's mobile
number is registered with UIDAI. And in case mobile number is not registered with UIDAI it
uses patient's name. New Patient will get appointment as well as Unique Health Identification
(UHID) number. If Aadhaar number is already linked with UHID number, then appointment
number will be given and UHID will remain same.

Simple appointment process

For your first visit to hospital, registration and appointment with doctor is made simpler. All
you have to do is verify yourself using Aadhaar Number, Select Hospital and Department,
Select date of Appointment and receive SMS for Appointment.

Dashboard Reports

Total number of Hospitals for which appointment can be taken through web along with their
departments for which online appointment can be taken can be seen in reports. Detail reports
showing information about New and Old patients taking appointment through this portal can
be seen.

Hospital On Boarding

Hospitals can come on board this platform and provide their appointment slots for online
booking by patients. The system facilitates Hospitals to easily manage their registration and
appointment process and monitor the flow of patients.

SCHOLARSHIP ONLINE
National Scholarships Portal is one stop solution for end to end scholarship process right
from submission of student application, verification, sanction and disbursal to end beneficiary
for all the scholarships provided by the Government of India. Every state wise portal should
be eliminated such as www.rajpms.nic.in scholarship portals and all these work should be
connected with the Digilocker provided by the government.
Simplified process for the students
o Common application form for all scholarships
o Onetime registration of students
o Based on eligibility criteria, system itself suggests the schemes for which a student is
eligible
Improved Transparency
Elimination of duplicate applications
Release of scholarship amount directly to bank accounts of students through DBT
SMS and E-Mail alerts at every step of scholarship process

STONE INDUSTRY
The mining industry in Rajasthan consists of large-scale and small and medium enterprises.
The process of mining is operated on leases and is approved by the government. Large
numbers of players operate on a small scale. The mining activity has three definite stages.
They are: 1) removal of the overburden; 2) extracting the raw blocks; and 3) processing.
According to the Marble Policy 1994 increased the requirement of minimum working areas
for granting license to 2.25 hectares and set a maximum of up to 11.25 hectares

License and Inspection: The competent authority at local level to issue license/lease for
mining/quarrying is the superintendent in charge of the mining engineers department. Under
him, there are a few mining engineers, who are also vested with the power of granting
license, though with certain limitations. The application for a license is sent to several other
departments such as the forest department, the collectorate, the block tehsildar, and
sometimes even the village councils in order to get a no objection certificate (NOC). The
initial license is up to a period of 20 years. It can be further extended to a period of 60 years.
There are short-time permits and a prospecting license (for a maximum of two years) as well.

So, my first suggestion to this industry is, to digitalize its department by removing all the
applications paper work and to come up with an online portal under e-governance to make
ease of business and the second recommendation is to provide a slurry dumping yard comes
from the mining of stones that slurries can be obtain the recycling of a vast amount of slurries
produced in the natural stone companies. Some uses which will be considered are:

Cement, concrete and other derived products

Ceramic
Paints
Technological centres should be taken care of the responsibilities on the realization of this
action using their qualification, experience and expertise in the sector of natural stone and
concretely in the research of solutions for residues and waste from extractive activities.

28
SMART INFLASTRUCTURE
A good plan requires the participation, input and ideas from a wide range of stakeholders
within the city. The UIT of KOTA should start providing extra benefits for the building
where infrastructure of Commercial, Cooperatives and Residential buildings cluster together
in the same projects. The builders should form a committee to start initiating for GO GREEN
concept based infrastructure in Kota. All the apartments and residential buildings should be
prefixed by smart energy saving devices. Dustbins should be kept in Kota at every distance of
150 Meter. New Amusement parks and new generation buildings with high tech technologies
can only be brought up with the help of private sector who should start initiating by
understanding this vision of Kota as a SMART CITY as responsibility of their own. The
Roads and highways should be properly constructed and if there must be a contract with the
patching work of contractual construction firm for a limited time period. So if any complaint
done on pubic portal for the work of Road within the time duration the contractor it have to
be resolved within one week of duration otherwise action should be taken on the contactor.

TRAVEL & TOURISM

Rajasthan, the north-western state of India exudes a magical charm with the aura of its golden
sand dunes and undulating landscape flecked with marvellous forts and palaces. This
enthralling ambience of the state attracts hordes of tourists and travellers all over the country
and the world thus making it a prime tourist destination. Rajasthan Economy also depends to
a very large extends on the tourism sector which accounts for almost 15% of the state's
economy. Last year, Rajasthan received about 1.3 million foreign and 23 million domestic
tourists. With an annual tourist arrival growth rate of over 12%, the future of tourism is very
promising. Rajasthan needs 20,000 additional hotel rooms immediately to meet the demand.
According to Department of Tourism Rajasthan share in Indias foreign and domestic tourist
arrivals stands at 11.2 per cent and 3.3 per cent respectively.

In this type of tourism environment the major drawback of travel in Kota is not availability of
Airway service in Kota.

29
My recommendation is to develop the river side area as done on the Kishore Sagar Talab
which gives a view of River side at night which will be attractive for the tourists, also the
local heritages should be developed and to be given in the hands of hotel companies which
will take care and promote the industry in Kota as well. The Kota Doria should also be
promoted by the government as the promotion done for KHADI UDHYOG in country and
outside countries as well. Kota as an hub of education where the young minds are great
researchers so running a contest across INDIA to design a innovative technology model and
supporting the great designs with international conference and asking students to promote the
design outside and within INDIA. This would attract a specific segment of people willing to
do and explore something new and would increase the visibility of INDIA in countries like
JAPAN, CHINA.

SMART SOCIETY
A city is nothing without its residents and visitors. A smart society is a vital aspect of a smart
city its all about social and human capital. Linked to this is the development of residents
themselves, but also the level of creativity and the quality of social interaction between
people.
Trends:
From municipality to community
From ownership to sharing
Personification
To become Kota as a smart city the first initiative should be given by our society is :

Child Labor & Education

Start an initiative to educate children from slum areas raised this issue of educating children
from slums. These children are generally engaged in working on tea stalls, in small
restaurants, begging, etc. Educating children and trying to enroll them in private schools and
also working on the same issue. We should give a child a reason to study. WHY is most
important.

30
Community Network

We read news everyday about incidents happening everywhere, especially the wrong ones.
Murder, Theft, Rape, etc. But after few days, we forget them, and we couldnt know what
happened to them, if Police was able to solve the case, if the culprit got punishment. There is
no follow up on news we read every day. And there is no participation of people. Aarav (Me),
said that we should have a community network, something like Twitter where we get news
about whats happening around us, on which we can debate, present views, follow up, and do
something about it. Instead of reading or listening news only to forget it a day later

Cattle Management & Conditions in Slum areas

There has been a initiative to kept animals away from cities. If were talking about Smart
City, we wouldnt want Buffaloes siting in the middle of a busy road. Keeping animals away
from cities is good for animals as well, because they could get a healthy, safe environment to
live and produce.

Suggestions for Waste Management

Starting a service which collects remaining food from restaurants, messes, parties, to
be distributed in slum areas.

Awareness Campaigns

Rag pickers Organizing this sector.

Using Bio degradable materials. Using cloth bags instead of plastic ones.

Suggestions to Problems faced by students coming from other cities

Giving children with more options to make a career in rather than just Engineering or
Medical.

Counselling of Students in coaching at every level

There are very few psychiatrists in the city, the rising rate of suicide shows that we
need more of them.

Coaching Institutes should reuse their study materials.

31


Kota has been making news globally and projecting itself as a coaching hub of the country
producing maximum number of IITIANS and DOCTORS. But off-late it feels as if it is
becoming a suicide capital of the country making news like:

Kota rocked with 5 teen suicides in a month

Indian Express June 30 2015

In Kota, students from other cities are exploiting by the locals of Kota Students who come
from other cities have to face many problems here. They are cheated by local hostel owners,
auto drivers, local shop owners, etc. There had many cases of suicides which recently came in
limelight.

Some initiative had been stated in the city of Kota to outcome from these dark sports on kota
