Pune Set to become the Green City
Section Tourism & Culture Posted on Thu Apr 01, 2004 at 11:18:54 PM EST
Pune already had 60 public gardens and the Pune Municipal Corporation is constructing 30 more, which will completely change the landscape of Pune, establishing it as the tourist hub of Maharashtra. There were only 17 gardens in the city before 1980. The number will go up to 90 in span of five years. The project will cost the PMC around Rs 20 crores.
The gardens will be based on differnet themes. For example, there is a rose garden coming up at Sahkarnagar, which will contain all varieties of roses available in India. Kothrud will have ...
... a botanical garden spread across 26 acres. A unique "medicinal" garden is being planned at Kondhwa.
PMC is also contemplating planning big gardens on the lines of those in Banglore. A 30 acre PuLa Deshpande park at Singhagad road is a case in point. "The project is being supported by a Japanese delegation and will have sections with Japanese, Mughal, and other themes," says Mr. Yashwant Khaire, PMC's garden superintendent.
Libraries, conference halls, and jogging parks will be included in these gardens as value-additions.
