Pimpri Chinchwad civic body is planning to take help of expert for development projects
Q: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation is planning to take the help of urban planning and finance experts for the implementation of development projects in public-private partnership over the next one year.
This is definitely a good move by the civic body and will definitely be beneficial to the area as a whole. The partnership will be beneficial to both the parties involved and will lead to well implemented developmental projects in the area. Which is why I believe a lot of real estate players like Kolte Patil, Mahindra Lifespaces, etc are having projects in the area. I reside near the area and have seen the Antheia project of Mahindra Lifespaces come up wonderfully and they have also started the possession of the same. I believe the best time to buy a property in Pune is now.
Right Rohit, And the team will coordinate with the ministries of the central and state government, particularly the urban development department, which is implementing projects under JNNURM, Swacch Bharat and Amrut.
But still the effective management of the projects and reforms requires an onsite team and experts. In the last 10 years, PCMC officials has implemented infrastructure projects worth Rs 2400 crore under the JNNURM mission.
@Ramdas, Now, the civic body has started reforming municipal accounting, user charges for services, property tax, revision of building bylaws and basic services for urban poor. It will also be a part of meetings where projects are reviewed by the state government.
On the other hand, for the AMRUT, a service level improvement plan as per the central government guidelines, will have to be prepared by the team for water supply, sewage system, storm water drainages, urban transport and also increasing green cover.
It is a good move by PCMC. Because most of these projects are under the Swachh Bharat mission and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT).
Definitely a good move Hamisika. It is heard that this team will help the municipal corporation on a day-to-day basis and have a municipal engineer who will provide expert inputs. The team, which will have its office at the main building, will work in coordination with the city engineer and other senior officials.
