Smart City Challenge

The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) program used a competition-based method as a

means for selecting cities for funding, based on an area-based development strategy. Cities
competed at the state level with other cities within the state. Then the state-level winner
competed at the national level Smart City Challenge. Cities obtaining the highest marks in a
particular round were chosen to be part of the mission.[citation needed]
The state governments were asked to nominate potential cities based on state-level
competition, with overall cities across India limited to 100. In August 2015 the Ministry of
Urban Development released the list of 98 nominees sent in by state governments.
All the participating cities from West Bengal (New Town, Kolkata, Bidhan nagar, Durgapur,
Haldia) have withdrawn from the Smart Cities Mission. Mumbai and Navi Mumbai from
Maharashtra have also been withdrawn from the Smart Cities Mission
