Charges to be hiked at Wonders Park of Nerul?

By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation seems to be badly in need of cash and hence to generate revenue, NMMC is seriously thinking of hiking charges for renting out space for organizing private events at Wonders Park in sector 19, Nerul. If the proposal to hike charges at Wonders Park is approved in the General Body Meet then there is bound to be commotion among many residents of the city since for many of them this park is a regular place they visit for recreation purpose.

It is true that NMMC allows its premises in the park to be used for much lower price than private venues. But if the charges are beyond reasonable limit then there is bound to be complaints after complaints being sent by city residents to the NMMC office. There is indeed a growing demand to rent space inside the park. But if the prices are hiked many customers may avoid coming to the park thus leading to revenue loss for the civic body.

The park is constructed over an area of 98,000 sq m and has 4,329 sq m green zone, which is given on rent for hosting picnics and functions. It also has an amphitheater with 1,000 seating capacity to organize various events.

Wonder Park, Navi Mumbai located in Nerul is a picnic spot frequented by locals and tourists alike. This high tech park has many attractions for the whole family. It was built on approximately 30 acres of land and is maintained by Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation.

As the name suggests the main attraction here are the replicas of the Seven Wonders of the World including Taj Mahal. There are high tech joy rides and a toy train in the Park. There are jogging and cycling tracks; a Giant Chess Board and Horse Cart rides inside the Park. There are also many eye catching sculptures inside the Park. Photography is permitted inside.

Most people are attracted to Nerul's Wonders Park only to witness the miniature sculptures of the 'Seven wonders of the world'. It is these replicas from which the park has got its name. All of these miniatures are placed next to each other and are situated towards the left side after entering from the main gate. Metal plaques have been placed near each of these sculptures that gives all the basic information about each of the seven wonders. There are high tech joy rides and a toy train in the Park. There are jogging and cycling tracks; a Giant Chess Board and Horse Cart rides inside the park, well-equipped play area for children with a nice rubber-like flooring, the lazy river, the Khandoli lake, the open air amphitheatre and others. There are also many eye catching sculptures inside the Park.

Considering that this beautiful park consists of many attractions, it draws people of all ages and all classes to this place and it has been affordable for a common man too. The question is whether the hike in charges will lead to making this park accessible to only the privileged class since the common man might not be able to afford the increased price.

Dinesh Kamath's Editorial 'Let there be equal number of males and females' that was published in Newsband

Let there be equal number of males and females

The Indian desire for a male child, even if at the exclusion of a female child, is widespread and well-established. In India, a larger number of boys than girls are born. Pre-natal sex selection is leading to more boys being born. The push for smaller families is making pre-natal sex selection more common. Families chose in the past to have repeated pregnancies until a male child was born. But now as smaller families become a social norm, families are being pushed towards artificial methods of ensuring a male offspring. Smaller families are more likely to have more boys than girls, while the larger ones have more girls than boys.

Let there be a meaningful conversation on gender equality. Gender inequality is the most serious problem. If this inequality continues, the future generation might have to suffer. Government should take the initiatives to make some schemes and some programs so that the girl child is accepted in our society.

Our films always display women as an appendix rather than an integral part. Take any modern day films and the heroine is made to do some "item" numbers or expose her belly while the entire focus is on the worthless hero. Stop adoring such films and filmstars and eventually the producers will get the message. Along with this boycott, spread the awareness that GOD can create only two species of humans - female or male, thats it. So accept whatever child is born and give that child a good education and imbibe good values so that the child will eventually become an asset to the country.

Women insecurity is one of the issues that fuels the favouring for a boy child. Until and unless the security threats around a women from both domestic and society diminishes, desire for a girl child would remain a vulnerable choice in minds of both middle class and lower class citizens. In most of the cases, the atrocities hurled upon women goes unreported and no proper justice is availed. The girl's family bears the burden of trauma. Women are looked upon as the honour of an Indian family, which seems to be a matter of pride. But, a blot (in form of threats) on this honour figure demotivates the family for bearing girl child.

Actually this is a very serious issue that must be addressed immediately without further delay. The government must take stricter measures to curb the menace of pre-natal sex determination which is the root cause of female feticide. And laws must be enacted like China to limit the number of children in each family to two. This would help lowering the population growth and at the same time, people won't keep on having children in the hope of a son. A skewed sex ratio can become a major psychological cause of rape, physical abuse and crimes against women. Another way to improve sex ratio in the country is by implementing certain schemes for the girl chid right from the time of birth - allowance for the upbringing, education and consequently marriage of girls in case of the BPL population.

China is currently suffering from the long term results of this type of social outlook. The one child policy had encouraged families to only desire boys. However now there is a disproportion in gender ratio leaving a lot of young bachelors without brides. Nature is programed to maintain the optimal 1-1 reproduction rate. Favoring one gender over another will just lead to an unintended decline in population.
