Having drawn up a vision document for Calcutta and its neighbourhood, the government has embarked on a similar exercise for Burdwan.
Architecture and planning experts of IIT Kharagpur will draw up Vision 2025.
A six-member IIT team led by architect B.K. Sengupta has already started a survey across 2,600 sq km, covering areas under Burdwan and Asansol-Durgapur development authorities. It is expected to submit a plan for industrial, commercial, educational, infotech, urban and rural development by February.
Without proper planning, it is impossible for the authorities to undertake big projects. The survey being conducted now will help us select land and location for upcoming projects, said Subrata Gupta, the district magistrate and chief executive officer of the Burdwan Development Authority.
