PLANNING A TOWN

The issues associated with development are ever evolving and there needs to be an acknowledgement of the fact that the ‘one size fits all’ approach will not work.

Shirpur, in Dhule district of Maharashtra, at present has a population of approximately 80,000 people; when the project initially began, the population was approximately that of 15,000 individuals. The primary source of income is agriculture. The development of this town is an attestation to  Mr. Amrish Patel and Late Mr. Mukesh Patel’s motivation, and belief. The difference here lay in the vision; there was no cutting of corners. The intent was never incremental development; rather exponential, and impactful development.
