About Dwarka
The Dwarka sub city is one of the recently developed areas situated in South West Delhi District. It was named after the legendary Dwaraka Kingdom and lie in close proximity to the business hubs of Gurgaon.
Dwarka was recently named as the largest suburb in Asia. A few areas of this sub city fall under the colony of Pappan Kalan which is undergoing development under the 'Urban Expansion Projects' of the Delhi Development Authority. This sub city is also known as the one of the largest residential areas in Asia and has a ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy towards common misuses of land, encroachments or illegal usage of property which is predominant in most parts of Delhi. It is also referred to as the ‘Model Township’ owing to its most organized, well planned and ‘Clean & Green’ policies that makes it a preferred residential area of Delhi and nearby townships.
Dwarka sub city is known for its wide and well laid road network that easily connects to other parts of the Capital City. Unlike places like Gurgaon or Noida, Dwarka was mainly developed as a primary residential township; however, it also has its share of commercial complexes that cater to the business needs of people as well as well structured shopping arcades, Restaurants and eating joints, departmental stores that cater to all the daily needs of the residents.
The Dwarka sub city offers essential facilities and services such as Hospitals, Educational Institutes, Safety and Security. The only hitch is the drinking and potable water which is a concern created by the Delhi Jal Board and DDA who have not been very organised in their distribution of water; however, this region is still better off in terms of water availability compared to the other parts of the NCR towns including Gurgaon and Noida.
The planned structure of Dwarka includes a well established and self contained community centre for each of the respective residential sectors that have been designed to accommodate a population of about 30,000 residents each. Each Sector is bounded on all sides by corridors of roads measuring 45 m and 60 m wide.
Each Sector has its own network of cycle tracks and pedestrian pathways that links the housing societies and their facilities within each sector. The ‘Dwarka Forum’ is a registered forum that assists in connecting a large number of residents, RWA representatives and CGHS Representatives who play very crucial roles in the administration and upkeep of the Housing Societies. All concerns pertaining to the Societies are discussed and solutions are offered through representation and RTI.
