Belagavi Smart City has won the top award in the inclusiveness category in the prestigious United Nations and National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) Smart Solutions Challenge for Inclusive Cities.
Belagavi has been placed in the first position for its Multi-Dimensional Inclusiveness in Education and Healthcare.
“We are very excited about achieving this recognition. Belagavi stands tall in inclusivity. All our projects over the past seven years have been focusing on facilities for the elderly, women, girls, children, and the specially abled. We recognised that inclusivity in any project is as fundamental as cement and brick to a building. We have to look beyond. We looked up to technology enabling us. And we succeeded,’’ Praveen Bagewadi, managing director of Belagavi Smart City.
