Puducherry Smart City Development (PSCDL) has chosen the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) to perform a third-party inspection to ensure that ongoing and future projects under the Smart Cities Mission conform to high quality and safety standards. According to reports, IIT Madras' Department of Civil Engineering will examine the quality and safety standards upheld by PSCDL when major projects for the Smart Cities Mission are being carried out. IIT Madras has in principle agreed to conduct project quality checks, and PSCDL will soon submit a proposal to the government of Puducherry in this regard. The Union government would send a team of IIT-M professionals who have provided quality control services for numerous projects, including foreign projects. Together with the PSCDL team, they will collaborate. Contact: Puducherry Smart City Development (PSCDL)Tel: 0413-2224433Email: pondysmartcity@gmail.comWebsite: www.pondicherrysmartcity.in
