SVM
SMART VILLAGE MOVEMENT
The project of Smart Village Movement (SVM) with the University of California, Berkeley aims to create a smart village ecosystem which began as a pilot in 50 villages in East Khasi Hills District in August 2020 and is now scaling to other districts of the state. The model is based on ‘open innovation’ coined by Prof. Henry Chesborough and the ‘triple helix model’ (Governments-Universities-Corporates) promulgated by the Centre for Growth Markets, UC Berkeley.
