The plan has been made so that it can ensure that it gets into the list of 40 smart cities which would be announced next month. 

	The six pillars of the plan are: Suramya (Picturesque), Nirmal (Pure), Surakshit (Safe), Smmunat (Improved), Ekatrit (Integrated) and Sanyojit (Planned).

The aim is to deliver the vision of a "confluence of ancient tradition and modern innovation".
