One can for sure, fall in love with the cultural city of
Maharashtra for its happening night life and high standard of living, however,
cannot ignore the slum areas in the city.
What is the need for Slum Rehabilitation?
Pune, the cultural capital and educational centre of
Maharashtra state! The affordable housing provided by the urban local bodies,
private housing sector, town planners & the private developers does not
match with the speed of urbanization. Purchasing a property of one’s own has
now become out of reach for the common man in the city due to the increasing
rates, thus resulting in the formation of slum pockets in the urban areas of
the city.
Naiknavare Developers Pvt. Ltd., under the SRA scheme, has
taken this opportunity to build well structured residential and commercial
spaces in the slum areas of Pune like the ones near Dandekar Bridge and Ramtekdi
in Pune.
If we speak about the location of Dandekar Bridge, there
exists the Parvati Temple, one of Pune’s historical landmarks created by the
Peshwas. The 1961 floods led to devastation in western parts of the city which
resulted in a housing crunch for the people belonging to the economically
weaker sections of the society. The foothills of Parvati hills and adjoining areas,
then turned into an ideal spot for the people to build temporary shelters which
then led to the establishment of shanty towns on both sides of the Sinhagad ROAD.
Naiknavare Developers Pvt. Ltd. aims at constructing 1000 permanent self-contained dwelling units
and commerce generating structures across 6.5 acres of land in the Dandekar
Bridge slum region for slum rehabilitation in order to bring about a marked
improvement in the overall area.
Naiknavare Developers have been trying to ensure that they
add to the overall growth of the people
of the city and also in improving the quality of lives of the people of the
slums.
