India. Leh is at an altitude of 3,524 metres (11,562 ft), and is connected via National

Highway. You have been invited as an external IT consultant by Government of India

with a mandate to convert Leh into a “Smart City”

a.Suggest & describe atleast 2 innovative technology enabled services that you will

introduce into Leh so that it can be called as a “Smart city”?

Answer 1

Introducing digital data collection using sensors would make Leh a smart city. Digital information collection throughout the city using sensors linked to aggregation boxes would ensure data collected is enormous and is sent to appropriate agencies for analysis and action in delivering services.

Also, digitizing services would be vital in making Leh a smart city. For example, introducing a monitoring system for bus drivers using artificial intelligence will help reduce traffic accidents caused by fatigue. Besides, such an innovative technology reduces paperwork and makes service delivery efficient.
