heh.. gurgaons not quite the comparison for a "well maintained township".

Gurgaon is not a township. its like a new city and a lott bigger which surely needs planning.. while magarpatta is a township-city, which was built from scratch using lands of quite a few number of numbers, who wanted a better return on their land-investment as farming had become a little tougher in the city with hard climate conditions in the last decade.

Pune: A state-of-the-art flower auction centre in the city that promises to be a miniature of the world’s most prominent flower auction market of Aalsmeer in the Netherlands is on the way.
It sounds ambitious, but the state marketing department is focused on the Rs 35-crore project, which is coming up on a three-acre land behind the existing fruits and vegetable market at Gultekdi.
It will establish Pune as a hub for distribution and pricing of a range of traditional and international-grade flowers, marketing minister Harshavardhan Patil told TOI on Thursday.
‘Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer’ is a prominent central market place for the buying and selling of floricultural products with a balanced range of marketing channel, good facilities for growers and buyers and effective logistics.
An average of 20 million flowers and plants change hands each day at Aalsmeer (daily turnover 6 million euros), with close to 7,000 specialist growers worldwide as suppliers and 1,100 wholesalers and exporters buying the products.
Within a couple of hours the auctioned flowers are exported to almost every country in the world. The Aalsmeer auction building finds a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest commercial building in the world.
Patil said that the existing flower market at Gultekdi (annual turnover Rs 15 crore) primarily caters to domestic centres. “The potential for floricultural products trade from Pune is not fully exploited,” he said.
“There are almost 800 green-houses in and around the city, which can be a nodal centre for flower growers from the Nashik and Kolhapur belts, as also from neighbouring Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.”
The facility will have features like an auction hall with electronic display systems; basement parking with loading and unloading platforms; cold-storage, a convention centre and a multi-commodity exchange centre facilitating futures trading.

Pawar: Don’t let Pune become a Bangalore

Maratha strongman and Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Friday gave a stern warning to the civic administration: ‘‘When it comes to development, keep aside differences.’’

Pawar drove home the point by citing the example of the tiff between JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda and Infosys Chairman and Chief Mentor N R Narayana Murthy. ‘‘In Bangalore, Murthy had to resign from a development committee. The city lacks basic infrastructure and the people are suffering due to it. This should not happen in Pune,’’ he said.

Pune: Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) will be coming up with its own information technology and engineering campus in Pune in 2006. Later, in 2007, the company plans to set up a manufacturing centre in Talegaon.
“By next year, L&T we will have its own campus in Pune. The campus will be set up on the outskirts of the city along the Mumbai-Pune highway,” said A.M. Naik, chairman and managing director, L&T.
He was addressing the media on the sidelines of the inaugural function of the 47th national convention of the Indian Institution of Industrial Engineering (IIIE) in Pune, on Friday.
During the function, Naik was received the IIIEs ‘outstanding chief executive of the year award’ for the year 2004-05 from Union minister for state Prithviraj Chavan.
“Our commitment to Pune is that we will employ around 3,000 people in the IT and engineering services over the next four years,” said Naik.
As for the manufacturing centre in Talegaon, he said, “It will be operational by 2007 and initially around 300-400 people would be employed.”
He, however, did not divulge what would be produced at the facility. Around six products are under consideration, he said.
With the aim to increase the employee retention level in L&T, the company has introduced skill-based remuneration and flexi-options for its employees, whereby after three years in any unit, they can ask for a transfer across any of the 60-odd businesses that the company is into.
It is also shortly introducing the ‘global management leadership programme’ to identify people who best understand a particular international market to fill its international positions.

BTW, does anyone else find 'panchshil' a very funny name for a builder considering the history of the panchsheel treaty with China
