Public Private Partnership for Redevelopment of Shivaji Garden, Nashik

Abstract

The Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a very feasible, viable, and growing mode of creating infrastructure for our country. Though public sector will continue to play a dominant role in building of infrastructure, the PPPs have enabled us to channelize private sector investment in infrastructure. Keeping in mind that our country is still starved of adequate infrastructure required for high level development, the opportunities for the growth of joint venture between both the sectors are huge and desirable. A Public Private Partnership is a legally-binding contract between government and business for the provision of assets and the delivery of services that allocates responsibilities and business risks among the various partners.Nashik is regional centre of northern Maharashtra and very famous for its grapes growing. The city has become the centre of attraction because of its beautiful surroundings and cool, calm, pleasant climate. Nashik has a personality of its own due to its mythological, historical, social and cultural importance. Shivaji Garden which is located at the heart of the city and is oldest recreation centre for the public but now days the condition of the garden is very poor and it is not in use therefore it may plan to redevelopment of the Shivaji Garden under the PPP project

Introduction

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are collaborative agreements between municipalities and private sectors that leverage private innovation, efficiency, and resources to improve public services and infrastructure. PPPs involve shared risks and responsibilities, aiming to deliver better quality, cost-effective, and innovative solutions. Increasingly, local governments use PPPs for various municipal services like waste management, water, energy, healthcare, transport, and public spaces.

The case study focuses on redeveloping Shivaji Garden in Nashik, a centrally located but currently underutilized and poorly maintained public space. The redevelopment aims to address traffic congestion and improve amenities by involving PPPs.

Objectives:

1. Study problems related to Shivaji Garden and its infrastructure.

2. Analyze factors affecting PPPs using SPSS.

3. Collect data via surveys on feasible public utility units at the garden.

4. Propose effective PPP strategies for redevelopment.

Methodology:
Data was collected through surveys targeting local users—commuters, students, shopkeepers, pedestrians—and supplemented by academic and media sources. Respondents rated the importance of various public utilities (like parking, food courts, gyms) to be included in the redevelopment.

Key Findings (Relative Importance Index - RII):

• Parking ranked highest as the most important public utility needed.

• Other highly ranked utilities include food courts, community centers, and mini malls.

• Less priority was given to art museums and cafeterias.

This study helps prioritize amenities for the Shivaji Garden PPP redevelopment to better serve public needs and optimize resource use.

Conclusion

The all ranking indices explained earlier were used to rank different public utility centre from viewpoints of the public. The Relative Importance Index (RII) was computed for each centre to identify the most significant, relevant, revenue generating for Government body utility centre for public use. The analysis of the given data is shows that what would be the weightage to different public utility centre which is helpful to government body for making decision about how to be redevelop the Shivaji Garden. Also to know the what exact project to be constructed under the Public Private partnership (PPP).
