Chandigarh, January 11, 2023::
“Technology ki Pathshaala” is an initiative of Smart City Chandigarh in collaboration with Department of School Education to energize the young innovative minds with the technology being used in their own city at Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC), Sector 17, Chandigarh.
The visits to ICCC are being organized to raise awareness about the functioning of the project among Government School children from Class 9th to 12th. A group of 20-25 students along with their teachers from Government Model Sr. Sec. School, Sector 23A visited Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) today and a demonstration was given on the video wall with a long term goal of bringing a sustainable change in their behavior.
This state of the art command center is integrated with major citizen services including E-governance, Solid Waste Door to Door Garbage Collection, Public Bike Sharing, Street lights, Chandigarh Transport Undertaking etc.
The students were shown how ICCC has been helping in providing the safety and security to the citizens. Additionally, it was shown how the cameras outside schools work, how the Command Center ensures students safety and what are the real advantages of placing more than 2500 cameras across 300 different locations across the city.
The purpose behind the activity is to create awareness among the younger generation, as it is important to educate them with their roles and responsibilities towards their city and there is potential for behavior change that can affect their peer groups, families, and overall society. Students had a very interactive and enjoyable session where they all participated actively.
