Property in Bapunagar Ahmedabad Thanks to Diamond Market
The word Bapunagar to any Amdavadi would envisage an image of miniscule Kathiyawad in the city Ahmedabad. From lifestyle to language spoken to attire and festivities, Bapunagar by all means can transport you to Saurashtra. People from Amreli, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Bhavnagar, Rajkot, Wadhwan and other districts have largely migrated ad settled in this area. Though outsiders might think due to MiniSaurashtra image it is called ‘Bapu’nagar but originally the area has derived its name from the man who became father of the nation. Gandhiji, fondly called ‘bapu’ is the reason behind this area being called Bapunagar.
This eastern part of the city was established immediately post-independence and has been part of several epoch making events in the history of Ahmedabad. As Ahmedabad is the second largest cotton producer, it naturally has several mills. These mill workers and employees as well as migrants from various states, cottage industry holders, and small businesses dealers mainly occupied this area. As at that time this area was newly-established and was comparatively affordable so migrants and new entrants narrowed down on Bapunagar. But later with development this area proved to be one of the fastest growing areas of the city.
Naroda, Asarwa, Odhav, Saraspur and Gomtipur areas surround Bapunagar. It also is the second biggest diamond cutting hub in India after Surat. The development of this area is believed to have happened due to diamond business companies and employees. This also attracted many people to Bapunagar which further led to sizeable boom in housing sector and economy. Bapunagar is residentially and commercially well-developed area. From multispecialty hospitals to schools, restaurants, gymnasiums, franchises, retailers and commercial complexes, Bapunagar is active commercial area. Sardar Patel stadium, a sports complex often used for cricket match and Vijay chowk, a site that is widely used for political gatherings are major landmarks of this area. This area is time and again mentioned in political history; it has also hosted many political events and delivered well known politicians. Construction has been the second largest reason behind this area’s popularity and growth.
Houses, apartments and bungalows are spread in both new and old parts of Bapunagar. Even today the area doesn’t cease to develop nor ceases its demand. Day in and day out more and more residential projects are coming up. Though traffic is a little problem in Bapunagar, arrangements and projects are being planned dilute this issue soon enough. From the basis of affordability, development, strategic location, commercial value, significance, Bapunagar in true sense is the sparkling diamond of Ahmedabad.
