The Varanasi Development Authority (VDA) is set to launch township projects after a 32-year hiatus since the Lalpur Yojana project. They are accelerating developments at their flagship Anand Kashi Yojana, with plans to start plot registration across all categories by the end of August.
During a site inspection in Kallipur on Friday, VDA Vice-Chairman Purn Bora instructed officials to expedite infrastructure tasks while ensuring quality standards are maintained.
Bora noted that construction of roads, boundary walls, and entry gates is currently in progress, after which sewerage and drainage systems along with other civic facilities will be established. Furthermore, most lands needed for the project have already been acquired through pooling and direct purchase, and registration with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) is in progress. The aim is to initiate plot registration by the end of August and to complete significant infrastructure works by December.
The Anand Kashi Yojana spans 250 acres and marks VDA’s first fully integrated gated township since Lalpur Yojana over three decades ago. It is designed with a focus on Kashi’s cultural and Vedic heritage, featuring a boundary wall with regulated entry and exit points.
The first phase will cover around 150 acres, providing more than 2,000 residential plots ranging from 128 sq m to 300 sq m. Development will include various road sizes (24-metre, 18-metre, 12-metre, and 9-metre), as well as essential amenities such as water supply, sewage, electricity, stormwater drainage, green areas, and civic utilities.
The township’s layout adheres to Vastu principles, allocating at least 15% of the total area, around nine hectares, for green spaces. Commercial plots will be positioned along the main 24-metre-wide road, and separate areas are designated for group housing, hotels, hospitals, and educational institutions to foster a self-sufficient urban community.
In addition to Anand Kashi, VDA has approved the development of the 165-acre Rudra Vihar Township in Madhni and the 160-acre Sports City near Ganjari, which will be situated around the upcoming international cricket stadium.
All three township projects are under the close watch of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, with the Uttar Pradesh government providing initial funding of Rs 400 crore for their development.
Bora stated that the VDA has already disbursed Rs 950 crore to farmers who contributed land for these township initiatives. He mentioned that over Rs 200 crore is being allocated by the authority for infrastructure development in each of the three townships, which will feature modern road systems, green spaces, civic amenities, and other state-of-the-art urban infrastructure.
