President Droupadi Murmu will felicitate the winners of ISAC 2022 awards on September 27, 2023, in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Nagaland Tourism minister Temjen Imna Along on Sunday said, “The ‘Smart City’ for the ‘Beautiful’ people!! Proud moment for the people of Kohima as our beautiful city bagged the Zonal Smart City Award (Northeast Zone) in the India Smart Cities Awards (ISCA) for 2022, organized under the Smart Cities Mission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.”
“The award reiterates Govt of Nagaland’s dedicated efforts to take the city to new heights of progress & development”, he added.
The Central government declared the 66 winners of the ISAC.
Indore retained its top position, bagging the National Smart City Award. While Surat and Agra followed Indore at the second and third positions respectively.
This is the fourth edition of the ISAC awards. In the past, the ISAC witnessed three editions in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The 2022 edition was launched in April last year during the ‘Smart Cities-Smart Urbanization’ event in Surat.
ISCA is one of the important activities initiated under the Mission, where pioneering city strategies, projects and ideas are recognized to award the exemplary performance, enable peer-peer learning and disseminate best practices.
There were no awards in 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The ISAC recognises and rewards cities, projects and innovative ideas that are promoting sustainable development across the 100 smart cities, as well as stimulating inclusive, equitable, safe, healthy and collaborative cities leading to a better quality of life for all.
The ISAC 2022 award had a two-stage submission process consisting of ‘Qualifying Stage’, which involved overall assessment of the city’s performance, and the ‘Proposal Stage’ which required the smart cities to submit their nominations for six award categories.
A total of 845 nominations were received for ISAC 2022 from 80 qualifying smart cities out of which 66 final winners have been identified in various categories.
