Mysuru Urban Development Authority proposes seven clusters along with PRR

Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) has proposed the establishment of seven clusters along with the proposed Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) in Mysuru. These clusters include heritage living, IT, garments, health, educational, pharmaceutical, and multi-purpose clusters. The stakeholders believe that the implementation of these clusters will significantly contribute to the city's overall development.

According to MUDA officials, the proposed PRR will encompass commercial, residential, and multi-purpose clusters on both sides of the road. Specific areas have been identified for each cluster based on their respective industries and requirements. For instance, hardware and software clusters will be located along the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, health and educational clusters along the Mysuru-Madikeri Road, IT and BT employment clusters along the Mysuru-Nanjangudu Road, pharma clusters along the Mysuru-T Narasipura Road, garments and apparels clusters along the Mysuru-HD Kote Road, and heritage living and sports village along the Mysuru-Bannur Road.

The development of these clusters will require approximately 27,500 acres of land, with an estimated cost of Rs 41,250 crore for land acquisition. To kickstart the project, Rs 10 crore has been released for the preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR). It is anticipated that the revenue generated from these clusters will be sufficient to cover their construction costs. Mysuru MP Pratap Simha emphasized the importance of the project for the city's future development and believes that it will play a vital role in shaping the city's growth.

However, some stakeholders, such as Vishwaprasad Alva, founder & MD of Skanray Technologies, have expressed concerns about the timing and approach to the project. Alva suggests that instead of focusing solely on the PRR, the government and elected representatives should develop a comprehensive city development plan with short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals. He emphasizes the importance of considering ecological impact, heritage preservation, and long-term vision to avoid repeating the mistakes made in Bengaluru. Alva believes that a well-thought-out plan is essential before initiating any sporadic work.

The proposal for the seven clusters along with the PRR in Mysuru holds great potential for the city's growth and development. It is crucial for the authorities to consider a holistic approach, taking into account various factors such as sustainability, heritage preservation, and long-term vision. By creating a comprehensive plan and executing it strategically, Mysuru can avoid the pitfalls experienced by other cities and ensure a balanced and sustainable development for its future.
