(b)      The  implementation  of  the  Smart  Cities  Mission  at  the  city  level  is done by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) created for the purpose. The SPVs plan, appraise, approve, implement, manage, operate, monitor and evaluate their Smart  City  projects. At State level,  Mission  implementation  is coordinated by the State level High Powered Steering Committee (HPSC) chaired  by  the  Chief  Secretary  of  the  State.  At  the  National  level,  the implementation  of  Smart  Cities  Mission  is  being  monitored  by  an  Apex Committee  headed  by  Secretary,  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs (MoHUA).  The  Nominee  Directors  of  MoHUA,  on  the  Boards  of  SPVs,  are also monitoring the progress in respective cities on a regular basis.

The MoHUA regularly interacts with the States/Smart Cities through video conferences,  review  meetings,  field  visits,  regional  workshops  etc.  at various  levels  to  assess  the  performance  of  the  cities  and  to  handhold them  for  improving  the  same.  Besides,  the  guidance  of  domain  experts participating  in  the  regional  workshops,  cities  also  benefit  from  peer-topeer learning during these interactions.

The  Smart  Cities  are  also  regularly  reporting  implementation  status  of projects,  including  utilization  of  funds,  under  SCM  through  the  OnlineManagement  Information  System  (MIS).  In  addition,  all  the  Smart  Cities have been advised to furnish utilization status of GoI funds on a monthly basis for monitoring the utilization of funds more closely.
