Sight Address : Magarpatta is situated along the Pune-Solapur Highway in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Magarpatta is a self contained residential cum Industrial / Corporate settlement spanning over 700 Acres of land. It is situated along the Pune-Solapur Highway in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Magarpatta has been in the news for its novel approach to development of housing projects in India. Today Magarpatta houses the Indian branches of some of the leading IT/Technology corporates such as Amdocs, Accenture, Patni, Sybase, Avaya, SoftDEL Systems and EDS. Magarpatta City is the only such project in the nation in which Farmers together converted their cultivable land into an enterprise. It is one of the most sought after residential neighborhoods in Pune. Magarpatta has also been featured in the Discovery Channel also.

Magarpatta, Pune

HistoryEdit

Magarpatta was originally multiple plots of land owned by a farmer community called “Magar”. The land they tilled has been under the Pune municipal jurisdiction since 1960, though it was still an agricultural zone. But in 1982, the Pune Municipal Corporation marked it as a ‘future urbanisable zone’ in its draft development plan, which meant that the government could easily acquire the land under the Urban Land Ceiling Act. The Magar clan and their immediate neighbours, comprising 123 families decided that they would develop the land themselves. They pooled 400 acres (162 ha) before requesting architect Hafeez Contractor to draft a private township plan, which was submitted to the departments of the state administration for approval. They mooted the idea of a company rather than a cooperative so that each family got shares equal to the size of their landholding. The company was registered as the Magarpatta Township Development and Construction Company Limited; Satish Magar is its managing director.

Sight Address : Gaganbawada, though only 55 km from Kolhapur, is non developed and hilly area of the district. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Gaganbawda is situated on the sahyadri range or the western ghats also has a very famous fort Gagangad near it. Gaganbawada, though only 55 km from Kolhapur, is non developed and hilly area of the district. Gaganbawada gets the maximum rainfall during rainy season. Gaganbawada is on threshold of famous Karul Ghat & Bhuibawada Ghat. Perhaps the only place having two ghats originating at a single place but going towards different directions,one towards Talere-Kankavali (Karul Ghat) and another towards Kharepatan-Rajapur (Bhuibawada Ghat). The Kolhapur district boundary ends immediately after Gaganbawada and Sindhudurg District starts just at the beginning of Karul Ghat and Bhuibawada Ghat. From Gaganbawada bus stand, road to the left will take one to the Karul Ghat and road to the right will take you to the Bhuibawada Ghat. The Karul Ghat starts immediately after Gaganbawada village (1 km from bus stand). Karul Ghat goes towards Northern part of Sindhudurg District. Tha quality of road is good. Length of Karul Ghat is 11 km. The entire ghat comes under the administration of Vaibhavwadi Tehsil of Sindhudurg. This ghat is beautiful and very scenic in monsoon. This ghat ends just before Vaibhavwadi and the state highway ends at Talere village (NH 17). The other ghat called Bhuibawada Ghat starts at the right turn from Gaganbawada Bus stand. This entire ghat also comes in Vaibhavwadi Tehsil of Sindhudurg. The ghat is of 10 km length with medium quality road and useful for people going towards southern part of Ratnagiri District’s Rajapur area. This ghat ends at Bhuibawada and this road will further take one to Kharepatan Town (NH 17).

Gaganbavada Ghat, Kolhapur

HistoryEdit

Looking back into history, Gaganbawada used to be called Bawada Mahal and comprise the current Gaganbawada tehsil of Kolhapur district and the current entire tehsil of Vaibhavwadi of Sindhudurg district. In 1981, Sindhudurg became the independent district. The entire Vaibhavwadi area which used to be a part of Gaganbawada Tehsil was at the foothills of Sahyadri and it was very tedious for people living at the foothills to come to Gaganbawaba for their daily needs. So the portion of Sahyadri foothills was separated from Gaganbawada tehsil of Kolhapur District and joined to the Sindhudurg District. At that time the villages called Vaibhavwadi, Karul, Bhuibawada, Umbarde, Tithavali, Achirne, etc. became a part of Sindhudurg district and Vaibhavwadi became the tehsil headquarter. Now the funny thing is The Gagangiri Ashram and fort is only 1 km from Gaganbawada of Kolhapur district above Sahyadri range but geographically it is a part of Vaibhavwadi Tehsil of Sindhudurg district which is at the foothills of Sahyadri range.
