Recently I have heard that the state government has handed over a concept plan to develop Rajarhat New Town as a smart green city to the Union urban development ministry.The concept plan that has been prepared by NISG suggests developing modern and advanced web-based technologies.

The state government has also identified nine other places across the state to develop smart cities. These are Raghunathpur, Jaigaon, Sagar, Kalyani, Baruipur, Durgapur, Bolpur, Debanandapur and Fulbari.

As per latest news the four civic bodies of Salt Lake, New Town, Haldia and Durgapur will shortly start preparing blueprint for the Smart City project which will have to be submitted to Centre by November.

Rajarhat New Town is all set to become a smart city. Not only Hidco but also state govt has came forward with plans to set up hospitals, schools, colleges, retail market, children park and other institutes. Multinational IT companies like Wipro, Infosys are also planning to set up their campuses in the city. What do you feel other things or changes that need to boost our Rajarhat New Town?

I don’t know much about it but I heard they are selling plots for setting up schools, college, hospitals etc. Hidco MD was telling this to get additional infrastructure in New Town and offering new employment opportunities.
