Varanasi master plan 2031

Yes victor you are right, I think government has taken initative for smart city project with the objective is to arrange a citizen-friendly suggestion as the smart city project is for them. Therefore, we're inviting locals and all stakeholder companies working within the city for various causes to come forward and put forth their suggestions and ideas as to what facilities they would want in their city.

An IT park, a skill development centre and an IT research and development centre are also mooted.The ministry plans to restore the Sarnath Temple, the Jain temples of Varanasi with help from the Archaeological Survey of India.

c. Greenfield: (Planning and development of all and entire infrastructure required for a city on at least 250 acre area Green/Open/unused land adjacent to current city limit. Land can be acquired by land pooling on PPP) based on viability
