When the local level elections were held then we heard the term "Smart City" very frequently from the candidates of mayors and we were very much eager to know what it was and wished to live in that. Here I am going to share the information that I collected during this holiday.
Smart City is the city that uses computers and internet to do almost all the governmental activities and other activities such as vital registrations like birth, death, migration, marriage, divorce, getting citizenship certificate,etc. All candidates of mayor said that they will make their area a smart city but do they know that for making a city smart the citizens also need to be smart and active with the internet and have modern technology like smartphones, laptops, palmtops etc. So actually the idea of smart city is just the way of getting more votes. According to my research in different sites I came to the conclusion that even Kathmandu Metropolis also cannot be turned into a smart city. Then is it possible for other cities to be a smart city? Of course not. It is like a Nepali idoim " Aakashko phal aakha tari mar".
We all have been fooled by the foxy politicians once in Local Level Elections but lets try not getting fooled once again in provincial and central election.
