The five new schemes proposed by the Trust are MIHAN improvement scheme (11 sq km), Gawasi Improvement Scheme (8.6 sq km), Khasarmari Improvement Scheme (4.5 sq km), Gondkhairi Improvement Scheme (10.7 sq km) and Powari Improvement Scheme (5.35 sq km).
The area to be covered will be a sprawling 49.73 sq.km.
It amounts to just over 25 percent of the city’s current size. All the six schemes are located close to Wardha Road, Amravati Road or Bhandara Road, which are the key areas of the city. And all schemes have easy access to the Outer Ring Road and this will give good road connectivity.
Basic amenities such as roads, water facility, sewage network, streetlights, etc. will be provided by NIT. It has earmarked 40 percent of the land for providing basic amenities and remaining 60 percent with the owners. The owners may lay layouts or construct flat schemes as needed.
