Manifesto
Our Inspirations
It is our desire to take Pune to its rightful glory in the near future. In our quest for success, we have been inspired by the ideas of great philosophers, nationalists and thinkers who had chiselled and nurtured Maharashtra to its present eminence. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is the only party that is committed to carry this legacy forward through its ideas and visions.
Strengthening bonds...
Dear Punekars,
Pune is the eighth largest metropolis in India, the second largest in the state of Maharashtra after Mumbai. Pune has a rich historical lineage and to complement it, a well-bred cultural base too. Being the educational and IT hub and blessed with a pleasant climate, Pune is growing at a fast pace bringing along with it several challenges. It is essential to address these challenges with a methodical approach and at the proper time, which is NOW. The Nationalist Congress Party became the largest party in the Pune Municipal Corporation elections in 2007. However, not with a clear majority. Inspite of this, we, along with our allies, could complete several developmental projects in the city. We have constructed new roads, hospitals, schools and fostered other essential services to meet everyday demands. For the poor, we have provided housing through various schemes and worked for their social upliftment by empowering the women through self help groups. There is still a long way to go. Our Party got a clear majority in the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) elections in 2007 and we have been able to transform Pimpri-Chinchwad into a livable and promising city. We wish to take Pune on the same path of progress and development. Its our dream to give every citizen of Pune a healthy, peaceful and happy life. The Nationalist Congress Party, with its visionary and able leadership in Mr. Sharad Pawar, is the only Party which would be able to realise this dream. As the guardian minister of the city, taking this vision forward is my responsibility. To be able to achieve this, we need Punekars to give us, the NCP, a CLEAR MAJORITY. Let us all join hands together to make our city a wonderful place to live in. I request you to cast your valuable vote in our favour.
Yours sincerely,
Ajit Pawar

Tomorrow's Pune will be "an economically vibrant and sustainable city with diverse opportunities and rich culture, where all citizens enjoy a safe and liveable environment with good connectivity".
The Nationalist Congress Party has a league of able, active and capable leaders with a visionary foresight at both the state and national level. It is only the Nationalist Congress Party which has the capacity to deliver results for the citys development, keeping in mind that -
We will not launch schemes that prima facie look attractive, but fail in the long run. While setting long-term goals, we will not overlook the immediate needs of the citizens. We will make certain that whatever projects are launched for the benefit of the citizens will be completed on time. We will seek and respect the views of citizens and experts in the planning and execution of developmental work.
We will work closely with the State and Central governments, financial institutions and private sector for planning and execution of various schemes. With the Nationalist Congress Party at helm in the State and Centre, we are confident of executing major developmental projects for Pune. We will ensure capacity building of the staff of the Pune Municipal Corporation. Every NCP corporator will focus on long-term development of their wards and the city as a whole.
With the growing population, the demographics of our city is witnessing diversity within various economic, cultural and linguistic groups. The old city limits are witnessing very high density of population resulting in pressure on civic amenities and other infrastructure. More than 40% of city's population lives in slums with inadequate access to civic amenities and infrastructure. Provision of affordable housing and basic infrastruture to the poor. Old wadas (traditional residential complexes) have become dilapidated. Relocation of people staying there is a serious issue. There is a need to address the demands and requirements of highly proficient human resources employed in Bio and Information Technology industries in the city. Around 350 new private vehicles are registered in the city every day. Currently, the total number of private vehicles in the city is 21,57,000. This number is expected to touch 40 lakhs in the next 10 years. Higher education, tourism, growing job opportunities has put an extra load on the urban infrastructure.

Waste Management
We have been tackling the issue of waste disposal head on. From separation of garbage (wet and dry) to its decomposition, we have taken efforts to manage the waste effectively. We have received excellent support from citizens and self-help groups to bring the problem of waste management under control. However, a lot more needs to be done to overcome this problem.
Waste Management
Plans are afoot for disposing, management and processing of waste. This will be done in a centralised as well as in a de-centralised manner. The Nationalist Congress Party will also focus on disposal of bio-medical and electronic waste. Apart from all the workers under the Municipal Corporation, there will be active involvement of the citizens in these projects.
Our Resolve...
The system for collection, management, processing and disposal of solid waste will be strenghtened further. It will be ensured that the waste generated in a ward is decomposed in the same ward. Pune Municipal Coprporation will recognise individual citizens, who have proactively and successfully demonstrated best practices in waste management and handling, as 'Green Ambassadors' to promote decentralised waste management. Special schemes to promote waste processing plants in all residential complexes. Pune being a major IT hub, almost 3216 metric tonnes of electronic waste is generated in the city and surrounding areas.

Use of advance technology to tackle growing levels of electronic waste. The number of persons and vehicles engaged in garbage collection and transport activities will be increased. Nationalist Congress Party is committed to empowering the rag-pickers. Emphasis will be on health of these workers and giving them benefits of organised sector.

LETS CHANGE THE FACE OF PUNE NOW Nationalist Congress Party &n 33
NCP ON A ROLL
The Nationalist Congress Party emerged as the leading political party in the recent Municipal Council Elections across the state.
Come 2012
We appeal to you for a CLEAR MAJORITY!
Mandate to a single party will help Pune prosper, Nationalist Congress Party is the
Nationalist Congress Party has always stressed on development. The party has adopted a practical approach, based on communication rather than getting sentimental and aggressive. Despite not having the clear majority in Pune for the last five years, we adhered to our original plan and tried to resolve the citys problems. We seek clear majority now for the citys overall development. _Madhukar Pichad
The NCP has always believed in balanced development by treating all castes and creed in society equally. I am confident that Pune will support our belief that big metropolises need a balanced approach while practising developmental politics. _Chhagan Bhujbal
Every citizen should feel like he/she is the guardian of the city. Only the Nationalist Congress Party has the ability to inculcate political culture that leads to such a feeling. I am confident that Punekars will wholeheartedly buffer this feeling by giving us a clear majority. _R. R. Patil
The NCP aspires for overall development of all the sections of society. NCP has been a forerunner in excercising social justice, which have been mirrored in our governance. I am confident that Punekars will back the fact that NCP is the only party that is perfect to hold the reins. _Laxmanrao Dhobale
No city can progress without active participation of women. As mentioned in this manifesto, it is imperative that women in Pune should play an active, pivotal role in the citys developmental decisions in future. _Supriya Sule
We need to measure the citys growth based on its human development index. This manifesto makes it amply clear that we intend to govern with a clear objective of helping Punekars lead a happy and safe life. I am confident that Punekars will back us in our efforts. _Vandana Chavan
