Navi Mumbai – Smart city or Tech city?

Navi Mumbai

To enroll for the Smart City challenge and grab the title, people’s participation is of utmost significance. Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has taken a step towards ensuring this by launching a website. “It is very important to garner involvement of people for the success of any campaign. This website will take us closer to citizen,” said D.T. Waghmare, the civic body chief.

Residents can visit www.nmmconline.com, the official website of the civic body where a separate link www.smartcity.com has been specially hosted to facilitate public comments & feedback with ease. Besides, a two-page questionnaire has also been designed for citizens’ inputs. Nearly seven lakh copies of the questionnaire are proposed to be circulated to schools within civic limits.

Well-known music composer and an ardent Navi Mumbaikar, Shankar Mahadevan was taken on a virtual tour of the website when he visited the ‘SmartCity War room’ arranged at the civic headquarters. He suggested efficient garbage disposal system for the city.
