CHAPTER III
UTILITY SERVICES IN PCMC AREA
3.1 Introduction
With a large concentration of people in limited space, it has become necessary to
utilize the subsurface for locating a growing number of services in urban environment.
The magnitude of urban growth in developing countries in the last century, particularly
after 1950, has been unprecedently very high. Not only Increasing levels of urbanization
are reason by natural growth of the urban population and migration of the rural
population towards cities. Over the past half century, a great rural-to-urban population
move has occurred and the process of urbanization (the focus of people and activities into
areas classified as urban) is set to continue well into the 21st century. Driving forces
includes the opportunities and services offered in urban areas especially jobs and
education. Utilities represent an important part of the urban infrastructure.
According to Geddes Rick (1999), the term ‘public utility’ encompasses a wide
range of variety of industries including, among others, airlines, telecommunications, oil,
natural gas, electricity, trucking, cable television and railroads. These industries share a
common ‘network’ structure, in that they have an extensive distribution system of lines,
pipes, or routes requiring the use of public rights of way, often with strong physical
linkages between component parts. In some cases, such as airlines, government owns a
part of the communications. Public utilities typically have substantial sunk costs because
of the need for extensive infrastructure. Historically, utilities, where privately owned,
have been rate-of-return regulated. Utilities are government-owned in some jurisdictions.
In almost all cases, utilities have been granted legally enforced monopolies over their
service territories.
Human service organizations ultimately aim at evaluating, producing or
delivering some type of goods or services to people in the community (Chisholm, 1995).
Allocating human service resources to needy communities and populations in rapid
34
changing multi-cultural urban areas is becoming a major challenge for both public and
private sector human service organizations. In order to achieve this objective of effective
production and distribution of goods and services, it is necessary to have a detailed
picture of the target population and access to suitable and timely demographic and socio-
economic data pertaining to that population. With this information, public and private
sector human service organizations can make decisions in the best interests of the
citizens/communities they serve. A utility service in the PCMC area is one of the
examples of how kaleidoscope of utility services has changed over the period of time.
In the present chapter utility services are shown with the help of the database
management systems by using GIS. The collection of data, usually referred to as the
‘database’ contains information about a particular event or enterprise. A database is a
collection of data, typically describing the features and activities of one or more related
events and organizations. A database management system (DBMS) consists of a
collection of interrelated data and a set of programs to access that data. The primary goal
of a DBMS is to provide an environment i.e. both convenient and efficient to use in
retrieving and storing database information.
3.2 Utility Services and Urban Land Use Changes
The development of socio-economic infrastructure and urban utility facilities
shows the quality of life of the people of a particular area. The availability of all socio-
economic infrastructures is solely not meant for the development until and unless it is
adequately available corresponding to the population size and extent of area. Utility
services are essential for fulfil the human needs. Therefore in urban areas which are more
developed, there these services are available on large scale. If these services are more,
then the population residing over their lives a very luxurious life. But these services
occupy more land area which is already covered by another use. Such as, the land which
has already covered by agriculture or forest purpose then this land has used for utility
services like hospitals, schools colleges, transport etc. consequently, agricultural or forest
land has decreased day by day which is detrimental for the environment. In India, rural
to urban migration is very high. Therefore urban population increasing continuously
which results into there are fast increase in urban utility services.

3.3 Land Utility Services
Geography plays a major role in the development of a economy of the nation..
Economic geography, a subset of human geography, is based on the study of a country’s
resources, climate, politics, physical geography and population, as they relate to a
country's economy. Many factors are supportive in the development of any region. The
physical factor is the most important of all. Development in many countries, states and
cities is due to physical factors there. With favorable physical factors development is
certain. The ground surface, climate, rivers, land, soil, plants etc. comprise the physical
factors. If you observe the world and its countries in terms of these geographic factors
and the compounded effect of more than one of the above factors acting together, it's easy
to see how and why some countries have prospered and others have not. Mostly people
like develop region because of this region provide many facility and many services.
Every regions development depends upon the resources available in the region and due to
available of the resources the pull of population is accreted to such a region. Hence this
response to the utility formed in the region creates divorce possibility of urbanization by
means of migration. Many cities are developing because of their geographical conditions.
The physical factors in the region under study are suitable for residential,
industrial and agricultural purpose; hence the development. Since the region consists of
geographically plane land, wide network of transport services is also observed. The
industrial development in the region is due to availability of vast land. Agriculture has
also developed due to rivers. Owing to these factors, masses got attracted to this region
leading to development of PCMC area.
Utility services can also be affected by various socio- economic factors, like
social group, economic structure, cultural or ethnic group and tradition of society. The
above factors plays vital role and therefore utility services affected in various wards in
PCMC according to various stages for example low income group strata educates their
children in Marathi medium corporation school and they also use PCMC medical
facilities for example population in slum region of Akurdi, Pimpri and Pimpri- Waghere.
In addition to the above factors, the location of study region also contributes to
the development. Since Pimpri-Chinchwad area is closer to Pune city, it is in demand due
to many functional reasons. The transport facilities have apparently brought PCMC area
36
closer to Pune; therefore many people have settled in PCMC area. As the population
grows up, the demand for requirement rises and to fulfill the same various essential and
important facilities are provided.
3.4 General Utility Services in PCMC
All major utility services have been shown in table. no. 3.1 as well as shown with
graphically in fig. no.3.1 some utility services as like density of roads ,industries, shops,
schools, garden and other (vegetable market, fish market, octrai post, banks etc.) are seen

v) Transport Services – These include modes of transport, availability of
vehicles, demand of transport, frequency and rout of vehicles, density of road
network etc. The types of transport could be- rail, air, water transport
vi) Industrial Services – These services consist of like – chemical, automobile,
pharmaceutical, fabrication engineering etc. their numbers and location of
industries.
All the above facilities are observed in the region under study. Out of these, three
main facilities like educational services, transport services and industrial services have
been considered in this chapter as these have affected the land use. These three services
have been selected because education is one of the basic need of human being as well as
industrial services provides employment opportunities to people and transport becomes
essential need for society as well as industries. Consequently residential area increases
because people prefers to live such areas which having these three services.
The region under study consists of four administrative wards/ prabhag namely A,
B, C & D. Each administrative ward comprises of general wards. Above facilities have
been shown according to the administrative wards of PCMC. There are 16 wards each in
A, B, C, &D thus in all there are64 wards in the study region. The educational, transport
and industrial services have been considered mainly according to the administrative
wards A, B, C, & D.
3.6 Educational Services
Pune is well known as a educational hub in Maharashtra as well as in India. Since
PCMC is closer to Pune, influence of education is observed in the study region. PCMC
has got the best educational facilities right from nursery to higher education. It consists of
schools colleges and other institutes. Schools in PCMC area impart education in various
media (like English, Marathi etc.) and colleges offer education in various streams like –
Arts, Commerce and Science (ACS), Engineering, Medical, Law, Pharmacy, BBA, BCS,
B.Ed. etc. Educational services that are considered in the PCMC area consist of many
schools and colleges. Table 3.2 indicates the number of primary schools in administrative
wards, whereas Table No. 3,2 indicates number of primary schools as per teaching media

This statistics shows that more number of schools and colleges are in ward ‘A’
and ‘D’. the reason could be the location and various facilities available as ward ‘A’
consists of main places like Nigadi, Akurdi, Bhakti-Shakti, Dattawadi, Kalbhor Nagar
etc. have good transport system like roads and rail to support large population.
Administrative ward ‘B’ has less number of schools but number of colleges as compared
to other wards. Ward “C’ has number of schools but less number of colleges. Wards ‘A’
and ‘D’ have maximum number of schools and colleges because of the location,
population and facilities for transport (along NH-4) are available. In addition to these,
Talawade IT Park and Hinjewadi IT park are closer to ward, ‘A’ and ward ‘D’ which has
affected Education services. Besides, more built up area is found in these wards. In
addition to this, important areas like Sangavi, Pimple Gurav, Kasarwadi, Wakad, Nigadi,
Akurdi fall in this region. Due to the availability of facilities, people find the area more
convenient hence more the built up the area to include residential as well as educational
one. The PCMC area has also management institutions and vocational guidance
institutes.
Database of educational services has been shown in fig. no. 3.4 (a) ,3.4(b), with
the help of this database we are able to find nearest location of any school or college as
well as we can find which are the english , marathi, hindi and urdu medium schools , co-
education( Co-ed) schools, Girls school and boys schools . Beside this we are able to find
location of Arts, Commerce and Science (ACS), College, BBA and BCA college, college
of education (B.Ed, M.Ed ), law college, engineering college and pharmacy colleges.

3.7 Transport Services
Transport services play a major role in the development of any region. Pimpri
Chinchwad is one of the most vibrant industrial and urban settlements in Maharashtra. Its
developed industrial sector, proximity to Pune and the growing IT sector draws a large
group of people and businesses to settle in the city, temporarily or permanently. This
creates a growing demand for urban infrastructure, especially for urban transport
infrastructure and public transport.
Transport facilities have accelerated the pace in the development in PCMC area
that has a large number of industries and companies. It has stepped up demand for
transport. The area under study has roads, rail for the purpose of transport, out of which
roads and rail are more in use. The area has five railway stations namely, Akurdi,
Chinchwad, Pimpri, Kasarwadi and Dapodi. Rail traffic is mainly for passengers and
goods. Roads too are extensively used for transport.
The roads available for intra PCMC area and going outside are as follows –
i) NH-4 (National Highway no. 4) – It passes through the central PCMC area with
approximately a length of 12.5 km. This road links Mumbai and Pune.
ii) A road of 7.2 km length connects Mumbai-Pune highway via Aundh.
iii) On the west of PCMC area, Pune – Nasik state highway no.50 is available.
iv) A part of national highway no. 50 measuring 11.5 km is located east of
Pune-Nasik road.
The roads available for internal transportation are as follows –
a) Old Mumbai-Pune road, Pune-Bhosari-Nasik road, road adjacent to Nigdi gaothan
Areas adjoining these roads are useful for residential colonies.
b) Forty-five meter wide spine road of 2.1 km is available extending from Nigdi
Octrai post to Chinchwad railway line. This area falls under Nigadi authority and is
useful for residential colonies.
c) The twenty-four meter wide Tilak road connects Mumbai-Pune road in the east and
Akurdi railway station in the west.
46
d) Chinchwad gaothan and Chinchwad are connected by a road over railway over
bridge residents from Chinchwad gaothan, Chinchwad station and MIDC use This
road.
e) The link road connecting Chinchwad gaothan and Pimpri camp is an important
road.
f) The road towards south from the Mumbai-Pune road goes to Pimpri town and the
road towards north from Mumbai-Pune road crosses Morwadi to reach MIDC area.
This road is very useful for people residing in Pimpri and Pimpri camp to go to
MIDC area.
g) A road from Landewadi connects Pun-Nasik highway near Atlas factory. It is
useful for residents of Bhosari gaothan, Bhosari hospital, Pimpri-Chinchwad
vehicle department, bus stop, vegetable market area.
h) Part of Mumbai-Pune road near Industrial Oxygen Co. passes through Nehru
Nagar, which is in the northern part of area under study.

Road Density in PCMC:
Road density is measure of accessibility and it is an essential indication of
urbanization. Areas that are highly accessible are those with high percentage of road
density. For urban growth, it is important to provide adequate road density that will
sustain continued growth. Since road density is also important parameter which decides
the urban growth and as well as land use changes. Besides these, roads like Aundh road,
Telco Road, Tathawade road, are in the core part of area therefore; the development in
PCMC area is rapid.

Table 3.6 indicates lengths of roads and density of their network in the
administrative wards of PCMC area. Maximum density of roads in administrative ward
‘A’. It is 13.59 per sq.km. Length of roads in ward ‘B’ is 230.96 km and density is 5.14
sq.km. Ward ‘C’ has 270.08 km of road and the density is 4.07. Ward ‘D’ has roads
346.93 km long, their density being 11.97.
The density of population is maximum in administrative ward ‘A’, followed by
ward ‘D’ due to large built up area. NH-4 passes through this area and the number of
roads meeting it is large. More so, the administrative ward ‘D’ is closer to Pune.
Important areas like Sangvi, Pimple Saudagar fall in these wards and network of roads is
dense due to markets, IT parks, industries, and commercial activities.
Administrative ward ‘A’ consists of Nigdi, Akurdi, Dattawadi, Chikhali,
Talawade, Akurdi station, Talawade road, Dehu-Alandi road, NH-4 etc. with roads
crossing one another. In addition to these, Talawade IT Park is closer in north of ward,
48
‘A’ which has affected transportation. The road length is more due to vast residential
areas.
Administrative wards ‘B’ and ‘C’ consist of road length 230.96 km. and 270.08
km. respectively. These wards also have residential areas, industrial areas, MIDC zone,
commercial zone etc. The areas like Morwadi, Masulkar colony, Bhosari, Dighi,
tathawade, Chinchwad, Kasarwadi have less road density in spite of being important
areas. Probably, because of the density per sq.km.area in wards ‘B’ and ‘C’ is less as
compared to wards; A’ and ‘D’.
From the above illustration, it can be concluded that roads are of paramount
importance in transportation. Changes in land use have an impact of transportation. As
the residential colonies come up, the roads for transportation are developed. Over a
period of time, many important works take place in the area and development gains
momentum. A similar kind of development can be observed in PCMC area as well.
In the Present study classification of roads have been done on the basis of roads
types, on the basis of following point: 1. national highway, 2. Major roads which is
included Pimpri Bhosari road, Alandi road, Dighi road, MIDC road etc. 3. Minor roads
which is included Sanjay Gandhi Nagar road, Telco road etc.
For the purpose of PCMC analysis of development, all important road have been
taken from the transportation network map prepared using RS and GIS. Fig. no. 3.6 (a),
3.6 (b). 3.6(c) and fig. no. 3.6 (d) shows road buffer zone. Buffer zone of 50 meter, 100
meter and 500 meter on either side of these roads have been generated. The area lying
between 50 meter and 100 meter distances on both side of the road network is rank high
for development and consequently the area lying 500 meter is rank low development.

3.8 Industrial Services
There is a remarkable change in economic change development due to industrial
revolution. Rapid development is observed in these areas where centralization of
industries has taken place. Industrialization has played a major role in the development of
PCMC area. The big plant of Hindustan Antibiotics was commissioned in this area in
1956. MIDC erected the first industrial area around TELCO in 1961-62. It gave boost to
the small-scale industries, which provided opportunity for employment to skilled and
unskilled workers as well. This led to tremendous increase in population in PCMC area;
as people from nooks and corners of Maharashtra and also from other states came here
for employment subsequently settled here.
The industrial growth and expansion of PCMC is h
deployment in Maharashtra. The industries like Tata Motors, SKF, Bajaj Auto,
Alfa Laval, Force Motors, Thermax, Hindustan Antibiotics and a number of small scale
industries have flourished in this area.
