Historique

Dharamshala has been selected in the Smart City Mission (SCM) of the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Government of India. The city has identified various projects and interventions that will help it transform itself into a smart city. These projects and interventions have been identified based on extensive consultation with citizens using community outreach programmes, social media and other similar mechanisms.

A Special Purpose Vehicle called Dharamshala Smart City Limited (DSCL) has been established to “plan, appraise, approve, release funds, implement, manage, operate, monitor, and evaluate the Smart city development projects and enter into contracts, partnerships and service delivery arrangements as may be required”. DSCL will implement two types of projects: Area Based Development (ABD) projects to transform contiguous areas of the city through comprehensive renewal of the built environment and public amenities; and pan-city solutions that use advanced information and communication technology (ICT)—intelligent transportation systems, safety and security systems, water and waste management systems, etc—to improve the lives of all city residents.
