Answer: Satnavri
Notes: Satnavri, a village of 1,800 people in rural Nagpur, Maharashtra, was chosen as India’s first ‘smart intelligent village’ under a state-backed pilot project approved by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The project was launched last month to integrate technologies like drone-assisted farming, smart irrigation, mobile banking, digitised schools, and advanced surveillance. It was conceptualised by the Voice of Indian Communication Technology Enterprises (VOICE) with domestic technology associations. Satnavri was selected for its small size, strong connectivity, and readiness for upgrades.
