The
Asansol-Durgapur Planning Area (ADPA) is now entering a new
epoch, ushering a new vision in not only Industrial
activities, in spheres of housing, institutional and
commercial ventures. The general aspiration of the people in
this region are
moving to a higher level as ADDA’s activities ascend day by
day, turning their dreams into reality.
This
website is an attempt to present the significant change in
arenas of need-based planning and development-projects for
up-holding socio-economic status of the region contained
within plateau of River Damodar and Ajoy
River on
the North-South across the length from Bud Bud to Barakar in
east-west direction.
For
reasons of existence of extensive coal-seams and rapid
industrialization, the region has experienced a very high
growth in the last decade. ADDA has entered a mission by an
agreement with the GoWB and GoI to operationalize urban
renewal through the JN-NURM in the fields of Water Supply,
Drainage and Sewerage, Management of solid wastes, Roads and
low-cost Housing for the poor.
Apart
from this, ADDA has concentrated on creation of core
infrastructure right since its inception. The improved water
supply and sanitation for the region, widening NH2 into a fast
corridor, modernization of Sail-ISP, Burnpur, Proposals for
setting up new Townships in Durgapur and
Asansol, Shopping Malls, Truck Terminus, Education Hubs,
Agriculture Hubs, Development of Life-time Residency in
Asansol and Durgapur and
Aerotropolis are some of the starts at right direction.
All-round development activities are the main stay of
ADDA
Needless
to mention the ADDA, governed by a Board having a compliment
of persons from elected representatives, administrative and
technical fields is squarely balanced to tackle the problems
and necessities of its planning area. A host of technical
personnel with necessary expertise alongwith with capable and
efficient administrative officials combine to contribute to
the success of the Authority.
I
hope this website, which is a small step in the globalized
world, will help ADDA to spread its wing beyond its present
and will also create a forum for interactive development in
the future.
