Sabarmati Riverfront Project among the '100 Most Innovative Projects' in the world

http://www.kpmg.com/Global/en/WhatW.../Pages/regeneration-project-profiles.aspx#r05

The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project is an urban regeneration and environmental improvement initiative currently under way in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It involves the reclamation of a 10.5 kilometer stretch of the banks of the Sabarmati River, creating a new public space for cultural and civic institutions. Along the river, space will be made for recreation use and markets. The aim is to transform the stretch of river from a geographical divider in the middle of the city to a focal point for leisure and recreation."

It looks very good but major benefit of this plan is removal of slum areas which were the breeding place of criminals, diseases and garbage. Most of the local gundas used to use this area as a hiding place.Anna Hazare came here to hear the so called complains of those dirty opportunistic slum people living illeaglly who were promised from AMC for alternative accomodation as per court directives.they have been already given that.But still people like sarabhai took this opportunity and used anna to malign Gujarat's image.But a'badi know everything.

I think it would be an absolute travesty if Narendra Modi was to breathe his last without given a fair shot, due to his alleged communal tendencies, at being India's PM

All these fancy projects are good only upto the point that the public is willing to go to actually maintain it.

Else these are only glorified money sinkholes.

Before Sabarmati Riverfront, Kankaria Lake front was developed in ahmedabad. Previously it was just a simple lake with no fancy stuff. and not its a hot spot for tourists who visits ahmedabad. Its a instant hit with kids.

Congress made hue and cry about fees. It is only 10 Rs. But people are paying it and enjoying facilities.

Re: Sabarmati Riverfront Project among the '100 Most Innovative Projects' in the worl

2nd August, 1965 was the day when the first stone of the beautiful city of Gandhinagar was laid.And the journey of the greenest capital which recently called as the Tree Captial of India had begun. With the passage of time specifically in past one decade, this planned city has become the most beautiful and exotic city of the state.With the word Gandhinagar the first picture that comes into the mind is the green meadows, clean roads and the peace in the city. With 416 trees per 100 people the city gives the most purest and fresh air to breathe.


Gandhinagar has its development history in four phases out which the last phase which began from 2002 has the most innovative, and inclusive development plans. The state government aimed at a new, triple focus for the city:a.) It should be greenb.) It should utilize solar energyc.) It should be cosmopolitan

Industrial, Educational, Religious, Tourist, Transportation each and every sector has progressed. The Infocity in Gandhinagar, an IT park project is strategically developed on a 24/7 work culture, on a principal location spread across 150 acres in the Greenest Capital City in the World. While the mega project of GIFT city (Gujarat International Finance-Tech City) has embarked to be devised as a global financial and IT services hub

.On the educational grounds PDPU, NID, NIFT, DA-IICT, GNLU (Gujarat National Law University), and BISAG (Bhaskaracharya Institute For Space Applications and Geo-Informatics) located in Gandhinagar, are few of the domain specific and rarest institutes found in the nation. Moreover, since 2008 nationally renowned engineering institute IIT has its campus in Gandhinagar which recently provided its first, fresh batch of graduates.
Akshardham Temple


Coming on to the tourist destinations Swaminarayan temple – Akshardham, Nature park – Indroda, are some of the tourist attractions in the city.
Mahatma Mandir

– the dream project of Shri Narendra Modi. It is a convention cum exhibition centre with a capacity to accommodate 5000 people. An initiative by Government of Gujarat dedicated to the father of the nation has laid its foundation and it will develop to be one of the biggest attractions of the state.Gandhinagar is connected by all means of transportation, while to add icing on the cake Gujarat government has decided to start a Metrolink Express from Gandhinagar to Ahmedabad.While a new Gandhinagar city is being planned with efforts of government the gap between Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad is about to close and in the coming years we will be celebrating the birthday of the New Gandhinagar city.

I hope the issue of floods and river water flow in case of sudden increase of water has been catered for, when reclaiming the land.

I went to Swaminarayan temple – Akshardham when I visited my unit there and they organised a conducted tour for us officers.

Quite an interesting spot.

And they also had the US style souvenir shops and all that.
