Nasik City
- Dr Mrs. Poonam Ravindra Shivde
The ancient holy city of Nasik, primarily an
agrarian and religious town is situated on the banks of the eternal
river Godavari. In the past we Nashikites would boast only about
the good climatic conditions and the holy religious atmosphere of the
town. But today Nashik is poised for tremendous growth due to which it
has become the focus of attention of the entire state. We are aware of
our city's verve and vim and how it has metamorphosed from a sleepy
pilgrim place to a a full fledged bustling industrial metropolis.
New industrial zones, shipping malls,
multiplexes, gardens, playgrounds,
five star hotels, auditoriums, swimming pools, educational
institutes of finest quality, I. T,. Sectors are all flourishing in and
around Nashik City. The shrinking distance to the neighbouring metros of
Mumbai and Pune due to road and rail connectivity, rising business,
educational and employment opportunities and good infrastructural
developments have put Nashik in the state's golden triangle.
Another feather in Nashik's cap is her new
identity as Wine Capital of Maharashtra. No less than 23 wineries have
sprung up around Nashik, manufacturing many varieties of world-class
wines.
The vivacity, pleasant climate, social fabric,
agricultural base, religious and cultural importance and flamboyant
image have made Nashik one of the most sought after and attractive
destination. As a result there is a huge influx of citizens from the
state and country. But we Nashikites are co-operative and accommodating.
There has been no dent in its communal harmony.
One more unique feature of Nashik is the uncanny combination of
rural and urban lifestyle that one can enjoy here. It
is heartening to note that the lifestyle of denizens here is changing
rapidly. Living has indeed become a classy affair in Nashik.
Even with a busy life style it is a cheerful sight to watch
Nashikites on the jogging tracks or flocking towards the swimming pool,
early in morning. There are myriad activities going on round the year
like Nashik Festival, Cycle Rallies, Marathon Events, Sales,
Exhibitions, etc. All these activities draw a very enthusiastic response
from Nashikites. The young brigade has fun at food joints and
multiplexes. Best of residential projects are coming up on the outskirts
to make living a luxurious experience. So friends, a visit to what was once Lord Rama's abode will bring you lot of joy, happiness, contentment and a sense of fulfillment! See you soon. Please visit Pictorial Tour- Nasik
