Gift City, India's first operational smart city and international financial services centre, has unveiled a comprehensive three-pronged strategy to foster and enhance social life within its precincts. The initiative aims to create a vibrant and inclusive community by focusing on various aspects of social engagement.

The first aspect of the strategy involves the development of community spaces, such as parks and recreational areas, to provide residents and professionals with opportunities for relaxation and social interaction. The second prong focuses on organising cultural and social events, ranging from festivals to performances, to enrich the overall experience of living and working in Gift City.

Additionally, the third element of the strategy emphasises the creation of avenues for skill development and education, contributing to the intellectual and personal growth of the community. This multifaceted approach underscores Gift City's commitment to building a holistic and thriving ecosystem that goes beyond its role as a financial hub.

By prioritising social infrastructure, events, and educational initiatives, Gift City aims to establish itself not only as a financial powerhouse but also as a vibrant and socially connected urban centre. The three-pronged strategy aligns with the vision of creating a sustainable and dynamic living and working environment within the smart city.
