In this paper,
we describe the ecosystem for a village and then map out an integrated design
procedure for building a smart village. We define a Smart Village as a bundle
of services which are delivered to its residents and businesses in an effective
and efficient manner. Dozens of services including construction, farming,
electricity, heath care, water, retail, manufacturing and logistics are needed
in building a smart village. Computing, communication and information
technologies play a major role in design, delivery and monitoring of the
services. All the techniques and technologies needed to build a smart village
are available now and some of them are being used in villages in India but
these are disparate, fragmented and piecemeal efforts. We recognize that the
need of the hour is - strategy, integrated planning and above all monitoring
and execution of the activities using appropriate governance models. Our
integrated design is a way forward to deal with the demographic deficit and
also achieve the goals of inclusive growth. It is replicable and can be used to
design and build smart villages in other parts of the World.
