Hi,
Under Smart Cities mission, 98 cities that have been included have a total population of about 13 crore which accounts for 35% of total urban population in the country. After receiving all Smart City Proposals, the ministry of urban development will set in motion the second state of "City Challenge Competition".

Hi Folks,
The urban development ministry on Tuesday received 85 of the 98 smart city proposals as states and union territories kept to the stipulated deadline of December 15. But Tamil Nadu, which ask some time to submit 12 proposals due to floods in Chennai and Telangana which sought to replace Hyderabad with another city, were the only exceptions.
