Known as the ‘Oxford of the East’, how do you view Pune’s growth as a city?
Pune is a very important city being an education hub. It is also known as the cultural capital of Maharashtra. The place is swaying with the great histories of the country as well as the State. Right now, I am working as the District Collector, Pune which is a matter of pride for me.
Pune is emerging as the IT hub of the country along with Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Industrially, the Hinjewadi area is still in the Gram Panchayat. Problem areas like solid waste management etc, which should be managed by the Zila Panchayats, are being managed by us, as people come to us seeking solutions for their problems.
Students should be provided good environment. Thankfully, the city is having a good law and order situation. We are looking forward to provide solutions for solid waste management in the city as well.
A lot of information and communication has to be taken up to the citizens. A good administration will lead to better governance for sure.
