ABSTRACT India is a vast country with a majority of its total population living in the villages. Indian society is predominantly divided into two divisions like the rural society and urban society. Villages have always been an integral part of society in India. No specific timeframe can be mentioned about the conception of villages in India. A smart village model followed a model from the smart city as an effect of integrated technology changes to be implemented in the remote areas. The aim of the smart village was to help it solve all problems through the implementation of ICT (Information and Communications Technology). Indian population lives in villages. Therefore, it‘s natural that for ‗inclusive‘ development, the Govt. must consider on them. Placing the stress on creating ‗smart cities‘ is a flawed policy. We must give top priority to the development of ‗smartvillages‘ — preserving the sustainability of villages will positively impact cities in the future.
