In the run-up to the constitution of the Gurugram Metropolitan
Development Authority (GMDA), suggestions have been invited from
citizens for its logo design. The winning design will receive a prize
money of Rs. 1 lakh.

The logos can be submitted till March 4. Five
short-listed designs will be announced on March 11 and the winner will
be declared on April 1 by the Chief Executive Officer of GMDA .

Announcing
this, GMDA Officer Special Duty V. Umashankar said he has written to
schools and residents’ welfare associations asking them to hold logo
design competitions and send two short-listed designs to the authorities
via email.

‘Aspirational character’

Mr.
Umashankar said, “The logo for the GMDA should reflect the aspirational
character of Gurugram. The design may reflect the desire to stitch the
citizens and institutions together for governance.”

Individuals can log on to the GMDA website to submit their logo designs.

The
GMDA is being constituted to oversee the overall infrastructural
development and raise the standards of governance and living in Gurugram
in light of the rapid growth of the city — both commercially and
population wise. This authority is expected to come into existence on
April 1, 2017.
