Bengaluru Smart City Limited

The Smart Cities Mission (SCM) Statement & Guidelines released by the Government of India (GoI) envisage the implementation of the Mission at the city level by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) created for the purpose. One of the primary reasons for the creation of an SPV for the Smart Cities Mission is to ensure operational independence and autonomy in decision-making and mission implementation. The SPV will plan, appraise, approve, release funds, implement, manage, operate, monitor, and evaluate the Smart City development projects. In the approach of the Smart Cities Mission by GOI, the objective is to promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment, and application of ‘Smart’ Solutions. The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable model that will be a light house to other aspiring cities. The Smart Cities Mission of the Government is a bold, new initiative. It is meant to set examples that can be replicated both within and outside the Smart City, catalyzing the creation of similar Smart Cities in various regions and parts of the country. The Vision of the Bengaluru Smart City Limited states that “Liveable Bengaluru- Healthy, Connected & Vibrant”. The BengSCL will be guided by the following key operating principles in its vision and mission. 1. Citizen & stakeholder Focus: Provide service to citizens & stakeholders and respond to their needs and interests in a respectful, reliable, and professional manner. 2. Environmental Responsibility: Plan and manage the operations as responsible stewards of our natural resources and the environment. 3. Safety Awareness: Perform work with a high level of safety awareness for ourselves, our fellow employees and the public. 4. Employee Inclusiveness: Respect and value the contributions of employees because everyone is important to the success of the operations.
