অটিজম আক্রান্তদের জন্য টাউনশিপ চালু করছে রাজ্য সরকার

অটিজম আক্রান্তদের জন্য আলাদা টাউনশিপ চালু হচ্ছে রাজ্যে। চতুর্থ বিশ্ব বঙ্গ বানিজ্য সম্মেলনে একথা ঘোষণা করলেন মুখ্যমন্ত্রী মমতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়।

সারা বিশ্বে জন্ম নেওয়া ৬৮টি শিশুর মধ্যে অন্তত একজন আক্রান্ত অটিজমে। আর এই মুহূর্তে দেশে অন্তত ১ কোটি মানুষ আক্রান্ত এই রোগে।

ডায়মন্ড হারবার রোডের ধারে শিরাকোলে ৫০ একর জমিতে ৬০০ কোটি তাকা ব্যয়ে গড়ে উঠবে এই টাউনশিপ। এখানে অটিজম আক্রান্তদের ডেভেলপমেন্টের ব্যবস্থা সব কিছুই থাকবে। পাশাপাশি অটিজম আক্রান্তদের জন্য বিশেষজ্ঞদের দিয়ে কলেজ চালুর পরিকল্পনাও রয়েছে।

এখানে হাসপাতাল, স্কুল, অটিজম সেন্টার সব কিছুই থাকবে। নিঃসন্দেহে এটি রাজ্য সরকারের সম্পূর্ণ এক অভিনব ভাবনা।

WB Govt comes up with new township policy providing housing for all

Posted on | by admin2 | Leave a Comment on WB Govt comes up with new township policy providing housing for all

The West Bengal Government has come up with the terms and conditions that developers and investors should follow for the proposed theme-based townships. The new township policy focuses on economic activities and providing housing for all.

According to the guidelines, 25% of the land in a proposed township has to be set aside for the thematic or economic development, for which builders will be selected through e-auction. The developers will have to follow town planning norms, civic laws, environment laws and the national building code for constructions. Besides, 25% of residential units have to be reserved for the poor. While selecting developers, the authorities will check their efficiency, years of experience in handling similar projects and financial strength.

The State Urban Development Department will be the central agency for the six proposed theme-based townships and the West Bengal Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation will be the state-level nodal agency to assist investors.

Developers will not have to scout for land as the townships will be developed on identified state land. Besides, selected developers will get speedy approvals and clearances at the state level.

A total of 447 acres have been identified for the six proposed townships in Kalyani, Bolpur, Dabgram, Asansol, Dumurjala and Baruipur.

A meeting with prospective investors is slated for July 10 when state officials will brief them on the concept. The State is hoping for optimum utilization of land where state-of-the-art facilities will be set up, along with housing for all.
