    Smart village is the most decentralized system which would empower people to efficiently use various services and systems. Enable communities to address the challenges in their respective occupations and daily life. Accessing and using technologies in their respective work makes a person smart.

    The monitoring systems are becoming cheaper and reliable. The data collected is huge. The Big-Data processing for decision making is becoming a huge task. Where Artificial Intelligence based on the empirical data, learning models and belief systems are being developed. Although initially, the decision support systems could be discrete, over a period there is a need to integrate the systems for aggregate decision making.
