POTENTIAL

Insert of green pockets will act as a buffer between the old and new developments Good connectivity to nearby towns and satellite villages Being an industrial town there’s always a good scope for small and big commercial activities City has potential for increasing the footfall at the reservoirs and water bodies in and around the city

ISSUES

City has a variety of social infrastructure but lacks the access or the approach towards them Lack of green spaces in proportion to the built mass of the city Lack of recreational spaces which are public and easily as-sessable The railway divides the town in two parts is a tributary of Narmada River which flows for about ten kilometers before converging with the Narmada.

It consists of Seed labs, Agro research center, Seeds Roots and stem storages,Farmimg via hydroponics and aquaphonics. The seed developed here will be for sale as per the demand, the bio domes will be used to create specificclimatic conditions to match the conditions of the land on which the seed has to be sown Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants without soil, where the roots receive a balanced nutrient solution that contains water and all the nutrients essential to the development of the plant.
