HMDA plans mini townships near Hyderabad
In the next few years, as many as 46 villages in and around Hyderabad
will get a facelift and would transform into mini townships.
The
Hyderabad Metro Development Authority is on the job of conducting
surveys on the facilities to be provided in these mini townships.
The
HMDA has appointed a consultancy to conduct a survey to find out
various ways and resources to form mini townships with facilities like
medical, education, setting up of companies, transportation etc.
The
Hyderabad city is growing at a fast pace as compared to the last decade
and the administration is gearing up to cater to various needs of the
population in and around the city.
People from rural areas are
migrating to city as it offers better education, medical and employment
opportunities. However, the government is unable to provide better
amenities to the growing population. In view of these circumstances, the
HMDA has decided to develop townships in the villages surrounding the
state capital.
More than 35 mandals from Nalgonda, RangaReddy,
Mahaboobnagar and Medak districts near Hyderabad city will be included
in the Master plan of HMDA.
The HMDA has decided to develop
following 46 villages in all these 35 mandals under four districts. In
Nalgonda district Nelapatla, Chinnakondur, Panthangi, Malkapur,
Thangadapally, Bommalaramaram, Maryala, Chinnaravulapally, Bhudhan
Pochampally will be formed into mini townships.
In other districts
Mogalgidda, Cheguru, Thadlapally, Kandhuvada, Aloor, Dhobipeta,
Samakhanpet, Chinthalcheruvu, Dhowlathabad, Narspur, Gummadidhala,
Shivampeta, Dhonthi, Moturu, Vargal, Mulugu, Thurkapally, Markoor,
Kothyal, Chikatimamidi, Dhandumailaram, Mankal, Gunagal, Yacharam,
Meerkhanpeta, Kandhukuru, Rachaluru, Yeliminedu, Manneguda,
Polkampally, Khanapur, Subhanpur, Thummaloor, Dhayyalathanda, Vemuru,
Dharmavaram, Palapally villages have been selected for the project.
The
above identified villages will be provided with 12 kinds of facilities
including business centres, residency, cultural activities, agriculture
besides medical, employment, education, transport etc.
The HMDA is conducting survey on a war-footing and also assessing the possibility for immediate implementation.
The
HMDA officials hope that after the implementation of the master plan,
there would be a fall in the number of migrants to the city from the
rural areas and would reduce burden on the Greater Hyderabad.
