The government of India has finally identified and prepared a list of smart cities, which will be revealed on June 25 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Avoiding taking the name of any selected city, union minister of housing and urban poverty alleviation, M Venkaiah Naidu, in an exclusive talk with ToI, said one city in every state will be covered under this project, along with union territories. Thus, everybody will be given proper opportunity to grow as much as possible. On being asked about Chandigarh, Naidu said: "Chandigarh is already a smart city on many counts, and we in fact take the example of Chandigarh for other cities. I cannot reveal any name right now, because the Prime Minister has to launch the scheme, but I can surely say that every state will get its due under this scheme, which we are coming up with a PPP model. It is a cheerful development for us that more than one- and-a-half dozen countries, including the USA, have agreed to contribute to this project." Naidu did not give any direct answer when asked about affordable housing schemes in Chandigarh for the middle class, but said his ministry with the collaboration of the finance ministry was working on it. "We have been coming up with various schemes for the benefit of states. We will ask states and cities to identify or choose areas where they want work to be done. Funds will be sanctioned under these schemes on priority, like for water, sanitation, power, or any other sphere, without any bias," he said.
