Due to our persistence and pressure to get things moving and personally pushing the files forward, work on renovation of the garden in Kranti Nagar was inaugurated by our team and officials of Goa State Urban Development Agency (GSUDA) in October 2016.
We had to carry out an inspection of the work being undertaken as the date of delivery was May-June. Before the renovation of the garden, it was being used for notorious activities, which was becoming a nuisance to the residents of the area. We took up renovation of the garden to improve the quality of life in the area and to develop green spaces, for the betterment of the people, at a cost of Rs 2.4 crore in the first phase.
After the inspection, a timeline was fixed and we are happy to say that the work shall be completed by June or July, based on the assurances given to us by the GSUDA member secretary and architect.
In addition, the second phase of the garden was planned wherein a small space would be created for senior citizens, for their daily exercises, yoga, etc.
One of the aims for this park is to make it a better place grandparents and grandchildren with the concept of Nana-Nani-Natuva in mind. However, at the same time we want it to be used by all sections of people.
As part of this renovation, there will be a badminton court, basketball & volleyball court, amphitheatre, a stage and a library. A skating rink and an area where youth can play cricket with a tennis ball is also being developed. A special area for non-polluting vehicles like Segways and go-karts will also be set up.
