Digital technology is employed to enhance decision-making, streamline service delivery, and optimize
administrative processes within the government. Its purpose is to enhance the efficacy, efficiency, and transparency
of governance. In smart cities, smart governance plays a vital role in augmenting the efficiency and effectiveness
of municipal services while promoting transparency and citizen accountability. In our study, we have studied the
disruptive technologies in smart cities governance from a theoretical standpoint. We have focused on the primary
disruptive technologies utilized in the governance of smart cities—Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of
Things, Big Data, and 3D Printing—and we understand how each of these technologies is employed in the
growth of smart cities. We also examined citizen awareness of the use and deployment of these technologies
as part of our study. As part of our study, we also analyzed how aware citizens were of the use and deployment
of these technologies. When compared with other applications of various technologies, our analysis finds that
Big Data is the most extensively employed technology in the construction of smart cities. This article will

This document provides guidelines for mix design of self-compacting concrete according to IS 10262:2019. Key points include:
1) Self-compacting concrete mixes have a lower coarse aggregate content, higher paste content, and lower water-to-powder ratio between 0.85 to 1.10 by volume to ensure flowability and strength.
2) Typical mix constituents include a powder content below 0.125mm of 400-600 kg/m3 including fine aggregate and fly ash, and a fine aggregate content of 48-60% of total aggregate.
3) Mixes are classified based on slump flow, V-funnel flow time, and segregation resistance for different applications such

Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.
Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are common sources of air pollution. Pollutants of major public health concern include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Outdoor and indoor air pollution cause respiratory and other diseases and are important sources of morbidity and mortality.
WHO data show that almost all of the global population (99%) breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits and contains high levels of pollutants, with low- and middle-income countries suffering from the highest exposures.
Air quality is closely linked to the earth’s climate and ecosystems globally. Many of the drivers of air pollution (i.e. combustion of fossil fuels) are also sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Policies to reduce air pollution, therefore, offer a win-win strategy for both climate and health, lowering the burden of disease attributable to air pollution, as well as contributing to the near- and long-term mitigation of climate change.

Leveraging Smart City Mission for E-Governance
1. Leveraging the Smart Cities Mission
India's Smart Cities Mission (SCM) presents a significant opportunity to enhance e-governance in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. By leveraging the frameworks and resources established under this mission,
these smaller urban centers can improve service delivery, citizen engagement, and overall governance efficiency.
1
Establishing Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)
Each smart city under the SCM is required to set up an SPV, which is responsible for
project implementation. This model can be adapted for tier 2 and tier 3 cities to ensure
focused governance and efficient management of resources. 2 Infrastructure Development
Investing in robust digital infrastructure, such as high-speed internet and cloud
services, is essential for deploying e-governance applications and services that require
reliable connectivity.
3
Citizen Engagement Platforms
Developing user-friendly online platforms for citizens to access services, lodge
complaints, and provide feedback is crucial. These platforms should be designed to
facilitate two-way communication between citizens and local authorities. 4 Replicable Models from Successful Cities
Cities like Nagpur have successfully implemented smart city projects that can serve as
models for tier 2 and tier 3 cities. For instance, Nagpur’s 24/7 water supply project
showcases how public-private partnerships can enhance service delivery.
5
Focus on Inclusivity
Initiatives must be taken to ensure that all segments of the population have access to
