In a state like West Bengal -where industry & technology the key note-investors are ready to invest open heartedly in the makeover. The ADDA or the Asansol Durgapur Development authority - a statutory body under the West Bengal T&CP Act 1979 was formed with a mandate to provide planned development in this region. The ADDA has been doing commendable works since its inception. It is the authority's responsible schemes and policies they would help more than 4.5 million people who need and aspire a better living. As a result the investment is identified with planned developmental guidelines by the ADDA. The ADPA or the Asansol Durgapur Planning Area is under rapid infrastructural developments. The region extends over 1616 sqkm and is surrounded by the Barakar river, Ajoy river on the north south and the Damodar river. The ADPA comprises of two Municipal Corporations, three Municipalities and eight Blocks or Panchayat Samities. As the whole of the region is already under ADDA's systematic plans & proposals - therefore a new city with ample facilities is on the onset. The improved water supply & sanitation for the region, widening of the NH 2 into a fast corridor the proposed up gradation of IISCO, Burnpr, the proposals to set up new townships, shopping malls, truck terminals, airport, infrastructural development both industrial-commercial-residecial-educational & making people socially aware are some of the steps of ADDA have planned and are scheduled to finish by 2025. ADDA is the most industrialized region within the state and being endowed with one of the finest & biggest coal reserve within the country - it therefore gives higher priority to mining activity over urban development - this appears to be socially beneficial, keeping the broader interest of nation in mind. A brief look into the present industrial investment pattern reveals an emphasized shift from heavy scale industries to small & medium scale ones. New industries & revival of the existing ones - both are equally important as the major part of the population would directly or indirectly be financially associated - which means social awareness & better living. One of the major plans among many others, a systematic land use plan. The purpose of this spatial structure is to provide a scientifically designed frame based on an analysis of existing land use and land form, future population distribution, changing occupational structure responsible industrial location, traffic alignments & the scatter of social & physical infrastructure to accommodate the future population. With an increase in population & minimum development, the ADDA is determined to plan dwelling units according to different income categories. The authority has already taken care of the initial work process & is scheduled to finish construction by 2025.
