Smart city is being implemented in many places where lot of modern and efficient systems have been installed to aim for a better and secured place to live in. Model of a smart village following the concept of a smart city is presented in this manuscript as the effect of integrated technological changes can be best realized in a place which has none. Thus a remote and isolated village location is chosen where the modern civilization has not touched. The design makes the village self-sufficient in respect of electric power, water supply, street lighting, security, education and communication. Application of non-conventional methods of energy generation is the key for betterment as discussed here. Renewable and non-polluted power is generated from solar heat. The heat energy is captured and stored in water for use at night and in absence of sun. The solar heat energy tapped in water is utilized to rotate the turbines to provide electric power to each house. Additional power is also generated from piezoelectric substances like PZT, incorporated in the busy corners of a village, where the stress generated by human weight while walking is converted to electricity. Energy efficient street lamps with controlled light intensity as per the requirement have been designed. Water is provided to houses in cold and hot forms. Computers, mobile application for individual and educational places will enrich the place. Normal and urgent medical facilities are introduced with the availability of uninterrupted power.
