CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT JHANSI
The early history of the Jhansi is connected with the region, which was known at different
times as Chedidesha, Chedi-rashtra or Chedi Janapada, Jejakbhukti, Jejahuti or Jajhotl and
Bundelakhand. The region seems to have been inhabited by certain primitive people like
the Bhils, Kols, Saheriyas, Gonds, Bhars, Bangars and Khangars. Jhansi was a stronghold
of the Chandela kings. Balwant Nagar was the name of this place. But in 11th century
Jhansi lost its importance. It gained importance when it came under the rule of Marathas.
When Bundela King Chhatrasal gave one-third of his kingdom to Peshwa Bajirao, Bajirao
distributed it into his generals, since ruling this part in Bundelkhand from his capital Pune
was not feasible. Thus, Jhansi came under the rule of Newalkars.
In 17th century under Raja Bir Singh Deo of Orchha, Jhansi again rose to prominence.
Raja Bir Singh Deo had good relations with the Mughal Emperor Jehangir. In 1613 Raja
Bir Singh Deo constructed the Jhansi fort. He died in 1627. After his death his son Juhar
Singh succeeded him. The capital of Bundelas was Orchha at that time. To strengthen the
security of Orchha, the Bundela King was constructing a fort on a hill in Shankargarh.
When he looked at the site of the new fort, from his palace in Orchha, he told his general
that the place was looking like a jhain-si (blurred shadow), which in course of time became
converted to ‘Jhansi’.
The district of Jhansi was formed as a separate unit of revenue administration by the
British when they annexed it in 1854 and brought it under' their administration. The district
then consisted of nine parganas, Bijaigarh being one of them which made up the domain of
Jhansi that had lapsed to the British. The district of Lalitpur which came under the British
administration in 1860, but continued to be a separate district, 1891 was also merged in
Jhansi and it formed a subdivision. The district continued to have these tahsils till March
1974 when Lalitpur district was created out of Lalitpur and Mahroni tahsils, leaving
thereby four tahsils viz. Moth, Garautha, Mauranipur and Jhansi in it.
Maharaja Chattrasal Bundela of Panna was a good administrator and a brave warrior. In
1729 Mohammed Khan Bangash attacked Chattrasal. Peshwa Baji Rao(I) helped Maharaja
Chattrasal and defeated mughal army. As a mark of gratitude Maharaja Chattrasal offered a
part of his state to Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao(I). Jhansi was also included in this part. In
1742 Naroshanker was made the subedar of Jhansi. During his tenure of 15 years, he not
only extended the Jhansi fort which was of strategic importance but also constructed some
other buildings. The extended part of the fort is called Shankergarh. In 1757 Naroshanker
was called back by the Peshwa. After him Madhav Govind Kakirde and then Babulal
Kanahai were made the subedars of Jhansi.
In 1766 Vishwas Rao Laxman was made the subedar of Jhansi. His period was from 1766
to 1769. After him Raghunath Rao (II) Newalkar was appointed the subedar of Jhansi. He
was a very able administrator. He increased the revenue of the state. The MahaLakshmi
Temple and the Raghunath Temple were built by him. For his own residence he
constructed a beautiful building Rani Mahal in the city. In 1796 Raghunath Rao passed the

2
subedari in favour of his brother Shiv Rao Hari. In 1803 a treaty was signed between East
India Company and Maratha.
After the death of Shiv Rao his grandson Ramchandra Rao was made subedar of Jhansi. He
was not a good administrator. Ramchandra Rao died in 1835. After his death Raghunath
Rao (III) was made his successor. In 1838 Raghunath Rao (III) also died. The British rulers
then accepted Gangadhar Rao as the Raja of Jhansi. Due to the inefficient administration
during the period of Raghunath Rao (III) the financial position of Jhansi was very critical.
Raja Gangadhar Rao was a very good administrator. He was very generous and full of
sympathy. He gave very good administration to Jhansi. During his period the local
population of Jhansi was very satisfied. In 1842 Raja Gangadhar Rao married
Mannikarnika.
After this marriage Mannikarnika was given the new name Lakshmi Bai, who led forces
against British in 1857. She sacrificed her life to the cause of Indian Independence in 1858.
In 1861 the British Government gave the Jhansi fort and Jhansi city to JiyajiRao Scindia.
Jhansi was then becoming a part of Gwalior state. In 1886 Britishers took back Jhansi from
Gwalior state.
The city revives our memories of that heroic young Rani Lakhsmi Bai, who led her force
into battle against the British imperialism during 1857-1858. The city was founded by Raja
Bir Singh Deo who built its fort on a rocky hill in 1613 AD.
The Jhansi city lies in the southwest portion of Jhansi division, extended between
25°21'16"- 25°32'01" North latitude and 78°29'48" – 78°39'41"
The present area of the city, according to Jhansi Nagar Nigam is 160 sq. km. The present
township of Jhansi extended beyond the old wall which has ten gates and
four Khirkis (entrances).. In 1950, the population of Jhansi was 125,598. Jhansi city has
population of 505,693; its urban / metropolitan population is 547,638. Jhansi's 2021
population was now estimated at 653,879.

1.3 WHAT ARE SMART CITIES?
The first question is what is meant by a ‘smart city’. The answer is, there is no universally
accepted definition of a Smart City. It means different things to different people. The
conceptualisation of Smart City, therefore, varies from city to city and country to country,
depending on the level of development, willingness to change and reform, resources and
aspirations of the city residents. A Smart City would have a different connotation in India
than, say, Europe. Even in India, there is no one way of defining a Smart City.
Some definitional boundaries are required to guide cities in the Mission. In the
imagination of any city dweller in India, the picture of a Smart City contains a wish list of
infrastructure and services that describes his or her level of aspiration. To provide for the
aspirations and needs of the citizens, urban planners ideally aim at developing the entire
urban eco-system, which is represented by the four pillars of comprehensive development
— institutional, physical, social and economic infrastructure. This can be a long term goal
and cities can work towards developing such comprehensive infrastructure incrementally,
adding on layers of ‘smartness’.
In the approach to the Smart Cities Mission, the objective is to promote cities that provide
core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable
environment and application of ‘Smart’ Solutions. The focus is on sustainable and
inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable model
which will act like a light house to other aspiring cities. The Smart Cities Mission of the
Government is a bold, new initiative. It is meant to set examples that can be replicated both
within and outside the Smart City, catalysing the creation of similar Smart Cities in various
regions and parts of the country.
The core infrastructure elements in a Smart City would include:
 adequate water supply,
 assured electricity supply,
 sanitation, including solid waste management,
 efficient urban mobility and public transport,
 affordable housing, especially for the poor,
 robust IT connectivity and digitalization,
 good governance, especially e-Governance and citizen participation,
 sustainable environment,
 safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and the elderly, and
 health and education.

SMART CITY FEATURES
1. Some typical features of comprehensive development in Smart Cities are described
below.
2. Promoting mixed land use in area-based developments — planning for ‘unplanned
areas’ containing a range of compatible activities and land uses close to one another
in order to make land use more efficient. The States will enable some flexibility in
land use and building bye-laws to adapt to change;
3. Housing and inclusiveness — expand housing opportunities for all;
4. Creating walkable localities — reduce congestion, air pollution and resource
depletion, boost local economy, promote interactions and ensure
security. The road network is created or refurbished not only for vehicles and
public transport, but also for pedestrians and cyclists, and necessary administrative
services are offered within walking or cycling distance;
5. Preserving and developing open spaces — parks, playgrounds, and recreational
spaces in order to enhance the quality of life of citizens, reduce the urban heat
effects in Areas and generally promote eco-balance;
6. Promoting a variety of transport options — Transit Oriented Development (TOD),
public transport and last mile para-transport connectivity;
7. Making governance citizen-friendly and cost effective — increasingly rely on
online services to bring about accountability and transparency, especially using
mobiles to reduce cost of services and providing services without having to go to
municipal offices; form e-groups to listen to people and obtain feedback and use
online monitoring of programs and activities with the aid of cyber tour of
worksites;
8. Giving an identity to the city — based on its main economic activity, such as local
cuisine, health, education, arts and craft, culture, sports goods, furniture, hosiery,
textile, dairy, etc;
9. Applying Smart Solutions to infrastructure and services in area-based development
in order to make them better. For example, making Areas less vulnerable to
disasters, using fewer resources, and providing cheaper services.

1.4 SMART CITY MISSION
The Smart Cities Mission (SCM) was launched by Honourable Prime Minister Narendra
Modi on 25 June 2015, is a joint effort of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs
(MoHUA), and all state and union territory (UT) governments. The SCM was attended by
over 1,200 public sector leaders, urban planning experts and citizens from across the
country. This flagship effort will allocate Rs. 48,000 crore over five years to promote
progressive urban planning, improve governance, and strengthen the economic, social and
physical infrastructure of 100 cities. The effective combined completion of all projects as
of 2019 is at 11%.
The purpose of the Smart Cities Mission is to drive economic growth and improve the
quality of life of people by enabling local area development and harnessing technology,
especially technology that leads to Smart outcomes. The SCM will improve infrastructure
and services (i.e., housing, water supply, sanitation, electricity supply, health, education,
mobility, safety and security, IT connectivity and digitalization), while maintaining a clean
and sustainable environment, and strengthening urban governance. The development and
application of ‘smart’ solutions to overcome various urban problems is the main feature
that distinguishes the SCM from previous urban-reform initiatives.
The geographical distribution shows that many chosen cities are from the following large
states – Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
On 28 August 2015, Jhansi was selected among 98 cities for smart city initiative by
Government of India
What Are the Objectives of Smart Cities Mission Program?
The main objectives of the Smart Cities Mission are as follows -
 Promote economic development.
 Improve the quality of life of people by using technology that offers smart results.
 Generate employment.
 Increase income, especially for poor and marginalised people.
STRATEGY OF NATIONAL SMART CITIES MISSION
Smart City Mission scheme follows the below-mentioned strategies –
I. AREA BASED PROPOSAL
 Area-based development by following a step-by-step method which are,
o Retrofitting
o Greenfield
o Redevelopment

7
The area-based proposal is the key element of the proposal. An area-based proposal
identify an area of the city that has been selected through desk research, analysis,
meetings with public representatives, prominent citizens, and citizen engagement,
as the appropriate site for either of three types of development: retrofitting (approx.
500 acres), redevelopment (approx. 50 acres) or Greenfield development (approx.
250 acres). This area will be developed into a ‘smart’ area, which incorporates all
the Essential Features/Elements prescribed in the Mission Guidelines and any
additional features that are deemed to be necessary and appropriate.
II. PAN-CITY PROPOSAL
 Pan-city initiative where at least one Smart Solution will be applicable city-wide.
• A pan-city smart solution should benefit the entire city through application of
ICT and resulting improvement in local governance and delivery of public
services. The SCP should contain one or two such Smart Solutions. Generally,
‘smartness’ refers to doing more with less, building upon existing infrastructural
assets and resources and proposing resource efficient initiatives.
 Pan-city initiative-I: Central Command Centre for Smart City Administration
and Governance - with citizen dashboard for citizen-centric planning and
provision of onlineservices for citizens.
 Pan-city initiative-II: Smart Urban Water Supply and Water Resource
Management System - for sustainable use of and conservation of natural water
resources and 24*7smart urban water supply network.
 Pan-city initiative-III: Intelligent Urban Transportation System - for achieving
sustainedsafety standards for the city, well-regulated and free movement of traffic
and addition ofthe walkability and accessibility factors.
Coverage and Duration
The Mission will cover 100 cities and its duration will be five years (FY2015-16 to
FY2019- 20). The Mission may be continued thereafter in the light of an evaluation to be
done by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and incorporating the learnings into
the Mission.

WHAT IS A SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLE (SPV)?
A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a separate legal entity created by an organization. The
SPV is a distinct company with its own assets and liabilities, as well as its own legal status.
Usually, they are created for a specific objective, often to isolate financial risk. As it is a
separate legal entity, if the parent company goes bankrupt, the special purpose vehicle can
carry on.
A special purpose vehicle can be a “bankruptcy-remote entity” because the operations of the
entity are restricted to the purchase and financing of specific assets or projects.
The typical legal forms of special purpose vehicles are partnerships, limited partnerships,
or joint ventures. Moreover, in some cases, it is required that the SPV should not be owned by
the company on whose behalf the entity is created.
Benefits and Risks of Special Purpose Vehicles
Benefits:
 Isolated financial risk
 Direct ownership of a specific asset
 Tax savings, if the vehicle is created in a tax haven such as the Cayman Islands
 Easy to create and set up the vehicle
Risks:
 Lower access to capital at the vehicle level (since it doesn’t have the same credit as the
sponsor)
 Mark to Market accounting rules could be triggered if an asset is sold, significantly
impacting the sponsor’s balance sheet
 Regulatory changes could cause serious problems for companies using these vehicles
 The optics surrounding SPVs are sometimes negative

SOLAR PANEL IN GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS
OBJECTIVE
Jhansi is an old and well developed city. Almost all Institutions/Buildings/offices
are having electrical accessibility and road connectivity. Since these are small solar
power plants and the energy produces by solar panels will be consumed by buildings
itself and in case any extra energyis required it will be supplied from grid. So On
Grid Solar Power System with zero export device is the best solution for the office
buildings of Jhansi. On Grid Solar Systems are always connected to the grid. The
energy produced by solar panels is consumed at the place where theyare installed by
the load. In case any extra energy is required it will be supplied from the grid.
During times when there is no sunlight, connected loads consume the grid’s
electricity. As the main objective of the project is reduction of the electrical energy
by at least 10% through use of Solar Energy

3.3 INTEGRATED COMMAND & CONTROL CENTRE
An important milestone achieved in the Mission has been the operationalization of Integrated
Command and Control Centers (ICCC) in all Smart Cities. These ICCCs work as the brain
and nervous system for city operations. They have led to better management of urban
services in diverse fields like crime tracking, safety & security of citizens, transport
management, solid waste management, water supply etc.
One of the salient features of ICCCs is their ability to foster inter-departmental coordination.
Various key departments of the city like Traffic Police, Health, Water, Solid Waste
management, Irrigation department etc. have been integrated with ICCCs. One of the most
important integrations achieved in most cities is with the Police department. ICCCs have been
successful in improving surveillance, enhancing safety and security of citizens, preventing and
resolving crimes etc. Efforts to link ICCCs with criminal data base under CCTNS (Crime and
Criminal Tracking Networks and System) have been undertaken. The integration with CCTNS
boosts a city’s ability for effective policing by developing and integrating data and crime
records across police stations and providing centralized citizen portal for a number of citizen-
friendly services.
The heralded rise of “Smart Cities” has pervaded in bringing data-centric solutions
to urban challenges. The use of Integrated Command and Control Centers have been
encouraged to improvise urban challenges and improvise the municipal service
delivery. They are envisaged to be the hub of innovation as they facilitates effective
management of city operations, exceptional scenarios and disaster mitigation using
information and communication technologies. They enables cities with a decision
support system for enhancing quality of life for its citizen. They also help cities
achieve more with less using real-time data, centralized monitoring and informed
decision making which is driving cities towards inclusion, efficiency, and
innovation.

9 locations in the city. These are used to display video messages for public awareness. Height
of VMD pole is 6.0m from ground and size of VMD is 3.0m×1.5m×0.2m.
ENVIRONMENT SENSORS are installed at 5 locations in the city. These are used to
measure different parameters in the atmosphere.These are monitored on hourly basis and
displayed on https://smartcityjhansi.com/web/guest/environmental-sensor. . Pollution
Department of Jhansi is aware about this monitoring and can take needful action in case of
alarming situation.
SMART TRAFFIC SENSOR (STS) are traffic sensors that detect count of vehicle based on
vehicle type at 6 locations. These are installed on entry and exit points of the city so that we
can monitor the whole incoming and outgoing traffic.
AUTOMATIC NUMBER-PLATE RECOGNITION (ANPR) is a technology that uses
optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates to create vehicle
location data. ANPR is used by police forces around the world for law enforcement purposes,
including to check if a vehicle is registered or licensed. It is also used for RLVD systems.
Automatic number-plate recognition can be used to store the images captured by the cameras
as well as the text from the license plate. Systems commonly use infrared lighting to allow the
camera to take the picture at any time of day or night. It is installed at 8 locations.
ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM (ATCS) is a traffic management strategy in
which traffic signal timing changes, or adapts, based on actual traffic demand. This is
accomplished using an adaptive traffic control system consisting of both hardware and
software.
ATCS makes use of cameras and sensors for monitoring the traffic. These sensors collect data,
which are evaluated to improve signal timings at a particular junction. The sensing network
can adapt to the changing traffic density patterns and provide necessary signals to the traffic
controller or the Command Center on a real-time basis. It allows signals to interact with each
other and make adjustments to the signal timings to keep traffic flow congestion free. These
are installed at 11 locations.

4.3 FINDINGS
 Lack of operation and Maintenance:- There are two phases of projects i.e
Implementation phase and Operation & Maintenance phase. Various projects are
implemented by Jhansi Smart City Ltd but some projects are not operated and
maintained properly.
 Uncoordinated planning of the city:- Whole city is not covered in planning. Only
some specific areas are developed other areas are still not developed yet.
Several road development projects are undertaken assuring improved
connectivity between Jhansi and other locations of tourist or industrial importance.
Despite being a tourism destination, the city roads and the transportation scenario
needs desperate attention. City roads are very narrow and damaged.
 Unregulated traffic management:- Majority people face chaos and crowd while
moving. They are not satisfied with signaling system. There is a urgent need of more
effective traffic management especially at city roads where half roads are covered with
two wheeler parking. Some people are not satisfied with E-Chalan .
 Need Improvement for Waste Management:- Waste management is effective when it
comes to regular collection of waste but still segregation of waste needs focus. Many
people are not segregating their household waste as it is not compulsory.
 Cleanliness A Serious Concern:- Despite being a smart city, Jhansi roads are not clean.
There is open drainage at many areas of Jhansi which results to diseases for local
residents. 3-wheeler auto and old model vehicles create lot of air pollution which can
be hazardous for health.
 Lack of Awareness:- There is lack of awareness regarding JSCL web portal, mobile
app, social media page and projects among residents of Jhansi. It indicated lack of
residents engagement.
 There is a scope of more infrastructure and environmental development.
 80% of people are satisfied with water supply. More improvement will be appreciable.

49
4.4 SUGGESTIONS
 Separate committee can be set up for looking up proper operation and maintenance of
existing projects for more efficiency. Inspection of every project can be done on timely
basis.
 Different departments can conduct timely meetings and coordinate with each other to
meet core objective of smart city.
 Authority should focus on enhancing basic infrastructure like reconstruction of every
damaged road. High authority should personally visit to every street and roads of city.
So that real time analysis could be done and effective measures could be taken up.
 Traffic can be managed by some strict rules like no parking at roads. Traffic police
should be present at every main area for monitoring and controlling traffic. One way
system can be implemented at very crowded places. Three wheelers auto can be
replaced to electric vehicles. These steps can be taken for proper flow of traffic,
improve mobility and to reduce congestion/ chaos in markets.
 Different measures can be taken for clean city. It is responsibility of both public and
local government to keep our city clean. Fine can be taken from public to litter.
Officers can examine area which needs cleaning and implement closed drainage
system.
 Committee can start taking fine for not segregating wet and dry waste. They can aware
residents regarding benefits and consequences of segregation. Newspaper and video
message can be used for this purpose.
 Committee should also raise awareness of JSCL web portal, mobile app, projects,
social media pages for better citizen engagement and services. Residents can take
multiple benefits if they are more aware. Awareness programs can be taken up at
various schools and colleges in Jhansi.
