Abstract
The smart city mission with “Clean Narmada, Green Jabalpur” intends to promote adoption in environment with basic infrastructure to give a decent quality of life. A clean and sustainable environment of Jabalpur using bio indicators species such as Mollusca and Odonata will be applicable as smart solution where environment disturbed through anthropogenic activities. Odonata and Mollusca are biological indicators so without using chemicals we aimed to know the pollution intensity of river Narmada basin. Benthos assemblage from Narmada basin in Jabalpur has been investigated. A total of 37 species of Odonata and 13 species of Mollusca were sampled.
Key words: Smart City, Benthic Macroinvertebrates, Diversity, Jabalpur.
