Dubai ruler recently announced to
launch a Mega City Project with investment of multi billion dollars; but,
interestingly the city intend to cater to Tourism, Retail, Leisure, Innovation
and Entrepreneurship. A right cocktail for faster development of a region. Though,
the Idea may be equally or more relevant to India ;
but, when all four Indian metros have a crying need of huge investment to
improve the quality of life, planning for a new city
with a billion dollar investment could be dogmatic. But, India
could do next best thing; convert an existing city with natural bounty into a
hub for Research & Development, Art & Culture. And, LAVASA city near
Pune fits the bill very eminently which is in the verge of completion; though,
got little delayed on account of avoidable controversy on environmental
concurrence. However, LAVASA city which is surrounded by green mountains and
scores of natural streams and beautiful lake with close proximity to academic
and industrial city Pune and Mumbai being a four hours drive must be very Ideal
place to attract Top Researchers, Artist, Authors, Painters and Musicians
Globally if GoI can provide free housing and Income tax holiday for 10 years
with the rider of filing patents in India. In that case very soon India
could give Western Nations a run for its money on the issue of technology, art
and literature.
