The Right Road to Development






One of the biggest requirements of any city is a well-planned and more importantly, well-made road network. Unfortunately, in most cities around the country, just like Pune, a single heavy bout of rain is all it takes to undo months of road building labour.

A lot has been said about the more than ten foot wide potholes that come springing up during the monsoon. Journalists have gone on camera with measuring tapes, as if any more proof was necessary, to point out some of the more massive craters. But in an effort to change this outlook the state government is taking strong steps to ensure a well-maintained network of roads.

A rough ride

One of the biggest challenges for the new Maharashtra government is to ensure that up and coming cities like Pune do not lack in the basic infrastructure. Having seen abundant investment, Pune was always a prime student destination, it now can also boast of an IT industry competing that of Bangalore. But once again, it is the basic infrastructure that holds this vibrant city back from fully achieving its investment potential.

Public transport, already a nightmare in the city, becomes an even bigger hassle on account of clogged roads and badly planned exits. One of the biggest refrains of visitors to the city has been the condition of the roads, providing an almost derbyesque bounce in some patches.

Vehicles plying on the roads increase

Statistics indicate that Pune has the highest number of households in the state using two-wheelers. More than 23 lakh privately owned vehicles are plying the city streets, in a situation like this if the roads are not planned properly or not made correctly, problems are bound to arise. 

 The city has also planned to increase the bicycle connectivity of the roads. This will help greatly in student-heavy areas of the city. Some of the best cities in the world have a beautifully planned pedestrian paths and bicycle lanes. Pune definitely needs to take a leaf out of their book in order to better its road network.

One of the biggest drawbacks of the city streets are not just the conditions they are in, but also the massive amount of illegal vehicles and animals that abound on them. Add to the chaos the high number of cars, two-wheelers and public transport vehicles and you have on your hands a logistical nightmare. This is compounded by encroached footpaths and underpasses which often become bottlenecks at peak hours.


Road to the future
 
However, not all is lost. With renewed interest in clearing up the city roads, the state government and city officials are taking steps towards remedying the state of the roads. According to reports, four six-lane roads are being constructed in the city, and out of the twelve planned arterial roads, construction of eight has already been concluded. Developing areas are especially under the limelight owing the high amount of investment they are attracting in terms of property and corporate interest.

All said and done, Pune has one of the better established and maintained road networks among Indian cities and requires just more attention to detail to remain in ship shape. The city officials have also hired the help of professional designers so as to spruce up the drab looks of a few key roads. If the plans fall into place, it is without doubt that a couple of more years and Pune will have one of the best roads in the country.

Save Water!!!! Need of the hour


Rain Water HarvestingThe need of the hour is to save, reuse and reduce wastage of water. As we all know like water can give lives, water can also take lives. Every summer we hear that so many cities have been hit by drought, so what can be done to save water? We can save water, we can do rain water harvesting, instead of letting the water go down the drain we can set up a system to collect the rain water in our societies, areas, etc.

The rain water can be flown to a tank of a collection area where it can be stored in tanks or let it get percolated in the ground. Letting the ground water lever to rise so that in the season when there is a lower water supply we can use the ground water for our use.

We at Abhinav group have pledged to save water, every project of ours has rain water harvesting systems which not only collects the rain water but also collects the over flowing water in the garden area so that we don’t waste but we save water where ever it is possible.

We are also working on deas to save the water not only for our project but also for the area surrounding our project.

Our Journey- Abhinav Group

“Every business on its journey to reach the top, builds its success story. Make sure yours is worth pulling people’s attention” – Anonymous

          Our affair with the city began way back, when we paw marked the foundation of our mission to render dreams that become a part of Pune’s skyline. And thus began our story...

         Our first project ‘Nisarg’ started in 1996 on Prabhat Road changing the face of the area completely. A prime, developed area of Pune, nurtured ‘Nisarg’, returning us overwhelming response and appreciation. Our first project was a success. But we never sat to celebrate as the appreciation only motivated us to work harder and move to our next project.

As nostalgic as we get talking about our first project every time, it just reminds us where we started, where we are and how far we still have to go.

Our second project, Swagat Om was in the heart of Pune, Shivaji Nagar. Centrally located it gave an easy access to the prime places of the city. The property was appreciated yet again inspiring us yet again to start ‘Nilgiri’ at Senapati Bapat Road. The area known to have the most spectacular view at night is often compared to the Marine Drive's famed Queen's Necklace in Mumbai.  

As so paved the path we continued with Swagat Classic Model Colony, Swagat Devshanti on Prabhat Road, Swagat Residency in Kothrud, Anmol Heights at Karve Road, Abhinav Sankul in Aundh, Abhinav Residency at Bhosale Nagar.

 All these projects at various locations had their story and have played their part to make their respective locations, the desired locations of today. We conceptualised the futuristic homes and conceived the same. The results, appreciation of our customer which we value the most beyond any award or accolade.

We are working on few dream homes still. Every single one of them well thought of to give you only the best of opulence.

           Stay tuned to know more about what the present has for you...

Futuristic Homes

Although many designers take great pleasure in drawing on the past, particularly mid-century modern elements and even classical, opulent styles of royalty, it is the designers that reach into the future that are creating the next generation of style. We at Abhinav Group continuously think about creative homes concept which are modern yet HOMELY.  http://abhinavgroup.co.in/
