About Constituency:

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-165.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Located in West Bengaluru, Rajajinagar was named after the freedom fighter C. Rajagopalachari, also the first non-British or Indian Governor-General. This constituency comprises the following wards: Dayananda Nagar, Prakashnagar, Rajajinagar, Basaveshwarnagar, Kamakshipalya, Shivanagar and Sri Rama Mandir.

Rajajinagar constituency has quite a history. It is well-maintained, being a “planned” area in the city, but over time, the development became haphazard . The constituency is about 5.5 sq kms. Although it is a traditional, residential area, it has shown quite a remarkable commercial development, leading to unplanned growth and illegal buildings. A number of educational institutions, hospitals and temples as well as industries, both large and small, have sprung up in this area.

There is a mix of both middle class as well as low income group residential areas here. Rajaji Nagar, Basaveshwar Nagar and Sriramamandir have large groups of middle class sections. However, water shortage is a big problem. Dayanand Nagar and Prakash Nagar wards house many low income colonies that lack basic facilities. Due to water shortage, clogged drains and poor sanitation, the residents tend to face a lot of health problems, especially dengue. A number of roads are in poor condition.

Those who want to register complaints can log on to www.rajajinagara.kar.nic.in, a website designed by activist officials.

Total number of votes in 2008: 96,522.

Total number of votes in 2013: 1,07,843

The total number of registered voters currently: 2,07,622.

Are building regulations followed in Bengaluru? A case study in Vijayanagar

by , , , and September 3, 2024 Governance
One of the teams in a recent Bengaluru design jam explored the conformity of buildings to existing rules in Vijayanagar's residential areas.

The extension of 3rd Cross road in Vijayanagar is like any emerging neighbourhood in Bengaluru, with houses packed like boxes on either side. This led us to explore the role of regulations in shaping our buildings, streets and city at large. We presented our findings at the ‘Bengaluru Design Jam’, organised by organised by OpenCity, and held on July 6th. The participants collaborated to analyse and interpret different aspects of BBMP’s construction bye-laws.  The changes and growth of cities are often guided by economic activities. But the development of cities needs to be managed and regulated to ensure liveability. This…

Tackling domestic violence: Chennai’s resettlement sites to get one-stop centres

by September 3, 2024 Governance
The TNUHDB has also established the first de-addiction centre in the Kannagi Nagar resettlement area in Chennai and more support centres are planned.

Evictions do not affect men and women equally. Often, women bear the brunt, be it because of unplanned evictions or domestic violence that results from loss of livelihood. With no government facilities in place to turn to for help, the women in Chennai's resettlement areas often suffer in silence. To address this issue, the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB) will soon establish 'one-stop centres' in resettlement areas in the city. Meanwhile, a residential de-addiction centre has also been set up in Kannagi Nagar to tackle substance abuse, especially among young men and boys. Our earlier articles in this…
