BMC wants to adopt a participatory process involving the citizens of varied interests concerned with the city’s growth and sustainable development. Today, when every urban local body is striving to provide its citizens with the best of governance, only those like Bhopal figure where decentralized efforts in improving the city’s living environment are clearly visible and are above all other interests.
