Kohima is the capital city of India's north eastern state of Nagaland and, with a growing population of almost 300,000, is the second largest city in the state. The city lies on the foothills of the Japfü mountain range, an area renowned for its raw natural beauty, ethnic diversity, and biodiversity, as well as increasing popularity as a tourism destination. The city was the site of one of the most valiant battles of World War II and, as such, is also a city of rich historical significance and cultural heritage – as well as being one of 100 cities recognized in India’s Smart City Mission.
"We would like to congratulate the entire AVEVA team who worked on the Integrated Command Center platform integration and implementation for Kohima Smart City. The team has done a commendable job on the platform UI and design and we are extremely pleased with the team’s expertise and dedication to ensure the project was completed well on time.”
