To boost up Smart City Mission, the Government of India devised a 20-20 model according to which top 20 cities will be paired with the bottom 20 cities. The arrangement is made in such a way that it would initiate knowledge sharing among the cities and provide a chance to the laggard cities for adapting best practices from their partner cities. The cities paired will be signing a MoU and the pairs are named as “sister cities”.

As many as 5,151 projects worth more than Rs 2 lakh crore are being implemented in 100 cities under the government's smart city mission, the Economic Survey highlighted.  Talking about achievements of 'Smart Cities Mission' (SCM), the Survey said all 100 cities under the mission have incorporated Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), City Level Advisory Forums (CLAFs) and appointed Project Management Consultants (PMCs).
