It opened the doors for free trade through the government policies in the name of development. Over the years these reforms have led to a centralized economy in the nation, recently leading the private organizations to influence the drafting of government policies. The effects of the centralized system is evidently seen through the “development” of the urban centres, solely. The development pattern depends on these urban centres which somehow have ill effects on the rural parts of the nation. This leads to an unhealthy connection between the rural & urban parts of India, usually in the form of Brain Drain, through the medium of migration. M.K.Gandhi through his writings & speeches always preached about the importance of a decentralized economy wherein the villages forms the foundation of nation building in all aspects. The Gandhian Philosophy of Decentralization aims to envision all the distinct authorization bodies at different levels to be on one equal platform, with equal delegation of authority, unlike the centralized system that follows a hierarchic pattern leading to discrepancies in terms of monetary as well as authorization factors. The enhancement of a decentralized system is a path ahead towards a sustainable habitat of the nation, not just economically, but also to attain a lovable living condition.

"The project’s aim is to create a business model out of urbanization and the trunk infrastructure would help in land monetization and undertaking-specific greenfield and brownfield industrial and physical infrastructure projects. While the corridor stretches from Dadri to JNPT the JNPT near Mumbai, it engages six more states in it namely, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, an additional elongation of the corridor has been decided and to connect the JNPT and the Dighi Port from the Raigad district was the new plan. Because of these unexpected alterations in the project, the state government started acquiring land of the people from the district on a very short notice. These resulted in the protest against the project as the people were totally unaware of the purpose for the land acquisition, their unassured Rehabilitation and were also unsatisfied about the compensation promised for their land. Many farm lands and undocumented lands of the adivasis were also illegally acquired by the land agents even before the project was announced to the common people. Raigad being very close in proximity with Mumbai and Navi Mumbai and also because of the smooth connectivity through both roadways and waterway, the district has been always under rapid urbanization and several infrastructural developments. This has been a threat to the farming sector and the agricultural graph is seen to be continuously falling down. With the industrialization and enhancement of the corporate sector because of the DMIC the leftover agricultural land would undoubtedly be abandoned and people will have no option but to leave farming and move towards the private sector. There needs to be a platform established for the farming community and the youth to emphasize the scope in the field to give them enough reason to direct and advance their skills in the agriculture sector. Hence, educating and empowering not only the farmer’s group but also the new generation is necessary to sustain farming for a longer run and balance the agriculture and the industrial sector after completion of the DMIC project by the year 2035. A farmers’ training institute where advanced farming methods and modern strategies for better yield are proposed in the research. It will be assisted with tourist facilities to promote the fundamental program and also the context of the selected site highly demands the assisted program. Large emphasis of the program is to work for the beneficiaries of the affected villages by the DMIC and to provide employment opportunities through farming as a medium. Hence, promoting FPO (Farmer producer organization) which will also look upon the outsource of the produce and can become a reliable solution in the initial building phase of the project. The research involves study of the existing socio economic fabric of the affected villages of Raigad district and what transition would it go through in the development phase of the DMIC. Its positive and negative impact on the locals and what initiatives would aid the farming community to sustain in the near and the long future is catered in the program formulation part of the research. To ensure the cohesive working of the industrial and the agricultural sector in the affected region by the Delhi Mumbai Industrial corridor and finding appropriate proposals for the interest of the people has been the ultimate purpose of the research.

We identified certain boundaries around us, documented them through pictures, various forms of drawings and made certain analysis. Space is determined by its boundaries and the rigidity of it is isn’t as vivid as it might seem. The latter part of the exercise focused more on the idea of space. Human movement and space are two interrelated concepts. Space is affected by human movement and vice versa. With this in mind we selected certain images and analysed the enclosure of space and movement. With the drawing, we have mapped different aspects from the picture.

Dhaval Jain : : : : : : : : : : : The proposal attempts to bring people back into the light in the city. After a gray period, the damage caused by the explosion at Beirut, gives a chance to rethink the structure of the city. Contrasting to the earlier government centric and corrupt system, the city is being planned now in a way to bring the citizens to the center. Getting them together, providing them with better amenities and lifestyle and making them more aware of the same. Several public facilities have been designed along the sea-shore and at strategic points in the city to allow people leisure and public participation in the building of the city. Green patches have been reintroduced to the city through these patches. The cultural center acts as a built form that reflects the new city culture. It homes a wide range of functions and attracts people from a wide range of interests to occupy and move all around the building. The circular form allows the people to have a complete exterior view of the city and the court in the center attracts all the attention from all common balconies on each floor while the attached lawn provides informal seating and leisure spaces.

Sanjay Mehta : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/priyanshi_hiran_dd_book : Studio Conductors : : : The newly emerging privileged breed of people popularly coined as the ‘Digital Nomads’ is booming in large numbers. The improved mutant of transitory traditional nomads, they travel and anchor themselves preferably in a pre-existing community with suitable infrastructure, for a desired short duration. Even though technology helps their mobility, the indigenous society and local community also play a significant role in their journey. Having the thirst of authentic tourists, they look forward to the knowledge and emotional exchange with the locals. Their give and take transactions are necessary for the human race to promote interculturality and maintain global cross-boundary relations. The Digital Nomads are certainly a boon for society. It is essential to morph these travelers within the existing local fabric. Thus, the aim of the research thesis is to define a social infrastructure that gathers and centralizes Digital Nomads by promoting chanced encounters with the pre-existing local communities. Research advances by studying community-based Business Models of ‘Zostel, we-work, Park & Play’. All work towards getting diverse communities together. The hybrid models like Unsettled (Bali), Selina (Global), Outsite (Global); have a comprehensive range of spaces and programs that not only serve all infrastructural needs of a Digital Nomad but also promote numerous exchanges with the locals. Streamlining the context of research, Worli Koliwada in Mumbai is selected as the zone for intervention. The need of the hour is to preserve the livelihood of an indigenous community that is endangered, by converting it into a sustainable community model. Amplifying the importance of these indigenous communities by developing them for tourism as they hold a factor of diverse engagement. Thus, the design proposal will house local, domestic, foreign visitors who wish to be a part of this arrangement. They will be asked to sign-up for a RENTAL MODEL, a combination of Amenities +Leisure +Engagement. A model which provides an incentive to both the parties, by providing diverse opportunities for chanced encounters.
