NAGPUR: Taking first step towards developing the metro region, Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) has prepared a plan for what could be a small town near Jamtha. The scheme will come up on 1,000 hectares on outer ring road and contain all basic amenities.
Chairman of NIT Pravin Darade told TOI that the scheme was first of its kind in entire state. "Plans like these have been implemented in Ahmedabad. The scheme will cover five villages-Kirmiti, Khadka, Sumthana, Panjara, and Shivmadka situated near Jamtha. Consent of around 500 land owners and villages has been taken. The plan is ready and will be sent for approval to the state government within three months.
The scheme may increase the value of land by almost ten times when fully complete," he said.

Superintending engineer Sunil Gujjalwar said the land owners will benefit. "NIT will provide all basic amenities including 12-metre or wider roads, water, sewage lines, gardens, streetlights etc. NIT will keep 40% of the land for amenities and remaining 60% will be with owners. The value of the land with the owners will automatically increase due to availability of basic amenities in the area. The owners may develop layouts or construct flat schemes etc. The scheme will be well connected to outer ring road. NIT is also planning to go for widening of outer ring road on this stretch from existing 60-80 metres to 150 metres," he said.
The specialty of the scheme will be development in a proper manner that too in hassle-free atmosphere. The owners will not be required to go for changing user of land from agriculture to non-agriculture. Besides, the NIT itself is developing the scheme, so no question of authenticity, permission etc.
NIT hopes scheme will be the first landmark of metro region. The development of metro region in proper manner would ease the rising congestion in the city and also accommodate the ever-increasing population. NIT is also preparing the development plan of entire metro region. The draft plan is likely to be ready by December. It will finalize the plan after inviting suggestions and objections.
