In Chief Minister Naidu's New 59,000-Crore Capital, A Role For Baahubali

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has become the ultimate dream merchant, roping in SS Rajamouli, the creator of the runaway hit "Baahubali" to create Amaravati, the city that is expected to become a reality in another seven years, when Hyderabad goes to Telangana.

On Wednesday, Mr Naidu held meetings at his office in a temporary secretariat with all those involved in envisioning, designing and executing the building of the new capital city that is expected to cost Rs. 58000 crore. Among those who attended was Mr Rajamouli, who was to provide cultural context to the buildings being planned.

In mythology, Amaravati was the fabled capital of Indra, the king of gods. Mr Naidu's dream -- going by a bunch of blueprints he finalised after meetings today -- is equally ambitious. The blueprints show a city grander than Mahishmati -- the kingdom over which the protagonists of Bahubali plotted, murdered and battled: A glass and concrete extravaganza with soaring towers, huge lakes, squeaky clean pavements and trees that look like distant cousins of the red-leafed maple.

I was asked to give some design elements, cultural context,'' Mr Rajamouli said. "When someone sees the building structure, they must be reminded of the greatness of Andhra Pradesh history and achievements,'' he explained.

Planned over 54000 acres, Amaravati will be a "green and blue" city with lung spaces and water, unlike the brown cities across the country, boasted C Sridhar, who heads the Capital Region Development Authority as its chairperson.

The city is being modelled on Singapore -- with two Singapore's government-appointed consultants preparing the master plan. International consultants and architects will provide the world-class touch. World famous names like Norman Foster and Hafeez Contractor will design the iconic buildings.
 
The Chief Minister also used the day to keep up a running commentary on development in the state. After the Prime Minister's sea plane ride on Sabarmati yesterday, Mr Naidu was seen doing a test run of a sea plane on river Krishna at Punnami Ghat, striking almost the same pose -- one leg at the aircraft's door. He then left for Delhi, to make a presentation to the Union water resources minister.

For Andhra Pradesh, the clock is ticking. When Telangana was carved out of it in June 2014, Hyderabad was made the joint capital of the two states. But at the end of a decade, it will function only as the capital of Telangana. By that time, the new capital of Andhra Pradesh needs to be up and running to make the transition seamless.

But lately, the state officials and even the Chief Minister has been heard saying that they were "in no hurry" since they were going to build "one of the top five cities in the world".

On the ground, little has been done in the two years since PM Modi laid the foundation of Amaravati. Mr Naidu had promised to complete the city by 2019, but the project is yet to leave the drawing board.

Of the huge expanse of land, 33000 acres have been acquired from farmers in the largest such exercise completed in the shortest possible time. The temporary secretariat and assembly, as of now, stands on 49 acres.

To fund the Rs. 58000 crore project, Rs. 14,200 crore has been tied up mainly from state-owned Hudco and the World Bank. Another Rs. 14,250 crore is expected from public-private partnership, bonds, a collective investment fund and lease rental discounting, among other avenues. For the project to be viable, monetising about 4,000 acres of land in the heart of the city is crucial.

The residents of the state have contributed more than Rs. 56 lakh so far, heeding the call of the Chief Minister to contribute at least Rs. 10 -- the price of a single brick -- and become stakeholders in the new city.

అమరావతి దేశానికే బ్రాండ్‌ నగరమవుతుంది 
సీఆర్‌డీఏ ముఖ్య కార్యదర్శి అజ‌య్‌జైన్‌‌

విజయవాడ: రాజధాని అమరావతిని హరిత, నీలి నగరంగా నిర్మిస్తున్నట్లు సీఆర్‌డీఏ ముఖ్య కార్యదర్శి అజ‌య్‌జైన్‌‌ తెలిపారు. అమరావతి నిర్మాణంపై విజయవాడలో నిర్వహించిన కార్యశాలకు ఆయన హాజరయ్యారు. ఈ కార్యశాలలో హ్యాపీ సిటీ విజన్‌, ప్రభుత్వ భవన సముదాయాలు, మౌలిక సదుపాయాలు, రవాణా, అర్థిక కేంద్రంగా అమరావతి వంటి అంశాలపై చర్చిస్తున్నారు.

ఈ సందర్భంగా అజ‌య్‌జైన్‌ మాట్లాడుతూ.. అమరావతి ప్రయాణం నేటితో 1,080 రోజులకు చేరింది. 35 నెలల్లో 50శాతం నిర్మాణ లక్ష్యాలను చేరుకున్నాం. ఆకృతుల్లో చూపినట్లు అమరావతి కనిపించడానికి ఇంకెంతో కాలం పట్టదు. ప్రతిక్షణం, ప్రతిరోజూ రూపును మార్చుకుంటూ అద్భుత నగరం నిర్మితమవుతోంది. అమరావతిని రాష్ట్రానికే కాదు దేశానికే బ్రాండ్‌ నగరంగా తీర్చిదిద్దాలని భావిస్తున్నాం. ముంబయి, బెంగళూరు, దిల్లీ వంటి వాటితో పోటీపడుతూ ఆధునిక నగరాన్ని నిర్మిస్తున్నాం. అమరావతిలో ఇప్పటికే రూ.20వేల కోట్ల విలువైన పనులు జరుగుతున్నాయి. ఐకానిక్‌ భవనాలు నిర్మించాలన్నది మా కల. నార్మన్‌ ఫోస్టర్‌ లాంటి ప్రముఖ ఆర్కిటెక్ట్‌తో భవనాల ప్రణాళిక చేయించాం. అద్భుతమైన భవనాలుంటేనే ప్రజలు వాటిని చూడటానికి వస్తారు. ఒక్కరోజులో ఏ నగరమూ నిర్మాణం కాలేదు. అమరావతిని మరో నయా రాయ్‌పూర్‌ చేయదల్చుకోలేదు. అందుకే ప్రణాళికకు, నిర్మాణానికి ఎక్కువ సమయం తీసుకుంటున్నాం. అమరావతిని ఆనందమయ నగరంగా తీర్చిదిద్దడమే మా లక్ష్యం’ అని పేర్కొన్నారు.
