Historic Bhide Wada Set for Redevelopment by PMC
PMC demolished Historic Bhide Wada on Monday night as it was dilapidated. The place housed the first school for girls in the country, established by social reformers Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule in 1848. This school, which was in a dilapidated condition for years, is now ready for redevelopment after a legal dispute for more than 13 years.
The internal land transfer here has been completed, and various PMC departments will collaborate on the project proposal for redevelopment for final approval from the state government.
Under this project, PMC will build a National Monument of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule at Bhide Wada. For which now 3 designs have been finalised.
Initial planning of the monument includes a statue of Savitribai Phule and a two-storey building spread over 6,212 square feet, which will include seven rooms including a representational classroom.
The memorial will also include a library, reading room, and principal's room, with potential improvements to be considered in the future.
By 1851, Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule had established three schools with more than 150 students.
The redevelopment aims to highlight the work of the social reformers and the significance of the country's first girls' school.
The groundwork for the project is expected to commence after the proposal receives approval from the state government.
The civic administration approved the development of the memorial in 2006, with land acquisition approval issued by civic committees in 2008.
