National Capital Region (Delhi)
NCR
is the metropolitan
area of Delhi which encompasses satellite cities like Faridabad,
Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Noida.
The origin of NCR is traced to the recommendation of first ever Master
Plan of Delhi, way back in the year 1962. The prime aim was to
reduce the burden of increasing population
in Delhi and the growing demand for more space owing to large
scale industrialization. Therefore the neighboring states like Rajasthan,
Haryana and Uttar Pradesh came into consideration for developing satellite
cities of Delhi. Gurgaon,
Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad
were the names that came up for developing the whole NCR region.
Delhi comes under the governance of NCT, called the National Capital
Territory. However, the Central Government does have some control
over the administration and other departments. Delhi is not typically
a Union Territory but has its own Vidhan Sabha constituencies with
Assembly elections taking place every five years. Delhi is still fighting
to claim the status of a complete state.
With the inception of NCR region, Delhi has been relieved of the burden
of growing demands from corporate bodies and government establishments.
With globalization hitting the landscape of Delhi, the city needed
more expansion and a better infrastructure to meet those demands.
However, with the development of satellite cities like Gurgaon and
Noida, this problem was solved to a great extent. Most of the government
offices found their place in these satellite cities including international
and domestic companies.
MNCs and corporate bodies from all over the world are turning their
heads towards Delhi sighting the manpower and skilled labor resource.
NCR region is now the home to major international and domestic companies,
be it IT, ITES, BPOs or other manufacturing and service industries.
Better connectivity and improved infrastructure
between Delhi and NCR make life easier for commuters to reach their
work place. New roads and flyovers make sure that traveling is an
easy ride from Delhi to any of the satellite cities.
Owing to the proximity with New Delhi, there has been a tremendous
growth in the infrastructure and economy of these cities. States like
Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have benefited a lot from the recent developments
in sectors like Real
Estate, IT, ITES, manufacturing and other service industries.
Some ten years back, these cities were like small villages with no
infrastructure and basic facilities. But, the landscape has transformed
completely with the construction of new shopping malls, skyscrapers,
roads and flyovers. Modern style residential societies have been developed
with luxury homes, apartments, flats and bungalows. Commercial buildings
and offices are ever increasing owing to growing demand from foreign
and domestic companies.
