The development is expected to provide major boost to the local economy and aid ecological conservation and balance
While the state government has taken several initiatives under the Smart city Programme, now it is the Indian Army which has undertaken a similar initiative and started development of a military station. The development is expected to provide major boost to the local economy and aid ecological conservation and balance.
The Jaisalmer Military Station is being developed into a Smart Armed Forces Station for which a detailed plan has been formulated in consonance with the eight key areas identified by the Central government for development of Smart Cities.
A systematic development of habitat is being undertaken incorporating the concept of Smart Building and Green Building Norms. Some of the unique facilities provided in these dwelling units would be rain water harvesting, centralised garbage disposal system, solar water heater, solar security lights, underground electric cabling, LED lighting system, provision of LPG through pipelines, prepaid electricity and water meters, waste disposal chutes, passenger and service lift amongst others. The health of troops and families are given very high priority as a state of the art Military Hospital is being developed there.
In addition, a central sports complex is being constructed which will host Astroturf hockey ground, synthetic volleyball courts, synthetic basketball courts, athletics track, tennis courts, indoor badminton courts, squash courts and state of art gymnasium.
It will also have an auditorium with a capacity of 1,200 people, a state of the art shopping complex and Sainik Institute located in the middle of the station for easy accessibility.
