Abstract

© 2018 Economic and Political Weekly. All rights reserved. The current Smart Cities Mission needs to be linked to India's villages. The lacuna in the current mission mandate can be filled by directly addressing the opportunities provided by renewable off-grid production to increase employment and diversification in the rural economy, with a particular focus on India's rural youth.
