Why smart citizens forum ?
Vision
The Forum for Smart Citizens is a civil society initiative to develop Bhubaneswar into the jewel of the east – a city where the citizens are at par with the best in the world in terms of traffic discipline, cleanliness, eco-friendliness, and work ethics. It will also partner with the Government in making the city safe, disciplined and efficient. It will act as a bridge between the various stakeholders – the government, the people, the organised and the unorganised sectors of the society – for a holistic developmental agenda.
