Rs 30 crore project for 22 villages under NMC
NASHIK: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) plans to develop villages under its jurisdiction and Rs 30 crore has been set aside in the civic budget for 2013-14.
"The villages within the NMC limits will be developed under the village development programme. Water pipeline, construction of drainages, electrification, construction of roads and other amenities will be provided to these villages. The standing committee has made a provision of Rs. 30-crore for development of 22 villages," sources told TOI.
The Nashik municipal corporation which was formed in Nashik on November 7, 1982 has around 22 villages under its jurisdiction, as per the Development Plan in 1992. The villages- Adgaon, Makhmalabad, Mhasrul, Eklahare, Amabad, Satpur, Chehadi, Chunchale, Anandvalli, Gangapur, Dasak, Panchak, Manur, Vihitgaon and Pathardi were among 22 villages.
The population of NMC, which was around 4.5 lakh in 1982, has increased to 16 lakh till date. The growth in population necessitated the expansion of the city's boundary and make more land available for urban population.
Thereafter, the first Development plan (DP) was prepared for Nashik in 1992. The DP included the land needed to accommodate the increase in population. The ring roads and DP roads were planned, while sites were reserved for gardens, playgrounds, schools and other civic amenities.
However, the preparations for a new Development Plan for the city for the next 20 years have started and it is expected to be completed in the next two and a half years.
