MAJOR CONNECTIVITY OF TRANSPORTATION:

2. Development pattern and Emerging Growth corridors: Micro Market study In the year 1982, the availability of MTC transport has only 3-4 buses.

 Most of the people having their own mode of transportation such as two and four wheelers. Due to insufficient transport and flight distance is somewhat longer. The Households would store all necessary things which have requires in the future. The well water is available at a depth of 6 feet, very good and potable. Utilization of Power supply distribution from Kovur and Kundrathur substation. Telecommunication was launched in the year 1996-1997 Lack of Hospitality Only two or three Government schools. Insufficient Multi specialty Hospitals. Handloom weaving, Brick Manufacturing, Agriculture and leather factories these are the major work nature of people in the locality.

These above mentioned industries would create a lot of job opportunities in and surrounding areas of Kundrathur. At present criteria, the availability of MTC transport has increased the number of buses from various locations. The total journey time from Vadapalani Bus depot to Kundrathur using M88 is 50 minutes. During peak hours, the frequency of M88 is one bus every 15 minutes. Could ease of access necessary things from Kundrathur, Pallavaram, Porur, Chormpet etc.

 Migration of different people from different locality and this enhance in population density. The depletion of traditional nature of work and people ready to adopt with new factories in surrounding area for their survival of life. Still existence of culture and lifestyle among the people. Establishment of schools, Engineering and Medical colleges in around the area. Ample of Medical facility and could reach hospital within half an hour such as MIOT, RAMACHANDRA, MADHA HOSPITALS AND SRI MUTHUKUMARAN.

Macro Market study Major Contribution towards the connectivity of linking roads, social infrastructure, good transport system, and became well developed. Just few minutes drive shall get ease of access the desired place and deserve it. From Kodambakkam to Kundrathur Main Road, various residential buildings which was constructed by major players.

 Accessibility to well established Schools, Colleges such as La chatelaine, AVM Rajeswari, Balalok, Avichi, Meenakshi Engineering College, Madha Institute of Engg & Tech, Madha Medical College & hospital, KK College of Pharmacy etc. Recreational and entertainment places located among the areas. From Pallavaram to Kundrathur Main Road the various residential buildings are proposed and under construction. The upcoming projects are i. ARUN BUILDERS ii. VEE JAY ASSOCIATES iii. DREAM HOME DEVELOPERS iv. RKV HOMES v. MRB PROPERTIES vi. ARUNGRAHA HABITAT vii. UDHAYA APARTMENT

3. Functional base, job creation capability: Kundrathur is come under the Kanchipuram district. Hence the major occupations of Kundrathur and surrounding place are weaving and agriculture. And they involved in Manufacturing of Bricks and sold out per piece Rs.1 Another at most occupation is Leather factory However, occupations are enlisted above by the tradition and culture of their job activity at most fails and deployed fully. Now people were working in the garments, textile industries, water factories and some of them are going to hospitality services, hospitals, constructional activities such as mason, carpentry etc. Existing private Employment opportunity (Garments) There is no such a future proposal by Government or Private Employment opportunity.

4. Assess the availability of physical infrastructure: i. Micro Market Study-: a. Currently, the only source of water for the town is Ground water and this is tapped by bore wells and then raised by pumps to store in overhead tanks. b. The town is divided into two zones and potable water is supplied to the zones only on alternate days. c. Since 8 overhead tank was constructed in the region d. Despite availability of water, supply of daily water (as per Standards) is not achieved owing to lack of storage capacity. e. One of the concerns of the current scenario is that the system that was established tens of years ago is still kept running without any further up gradation. f. It would be required to increase the storage capacities to be able to cater to the ever increasing population and urbanization. g. The IT companies that have established offices in the town are buying water from Chennai Metro water supply board, through tanker system. A few of them may have their individual bore wells as well to cater to their needs. h. There is a need to set a better network of Overhead tanks(OHT) for more storage of potable water.

Major connectivity of water supply routes from the overhead tank locations:

1. Kundrathur to Mundramkattali (North zone) 2. Kundrathur to AndanKuppam (East zone) 3. Kundrathur to Ring road (West zone) 4. Kundrathur to Natham colony (South Zone)

ii. Drainage system: a. There is no proper Underground Drainage system in the town. b. All residents are using Septic tanks currently. c. To dispose sewage from septic tank residents are spending Rs.3500/annum. d. The IT companies on that corridor have their own arrangement of treatment plants, wherein the sewage water is treated and used for landscaping purpose thus assuring that there shall be no fund constraint.

iii. Availability of funds for execution: The Representative informed that there are ample funds with the Town Panchayat for constructing a complete Drainage system for the town, including a Sewage treatment plant.

iv. Willingness to pay: The Representative assured that the people of the town will be ready to pay the price for a suitable administration drainage system and a water supply scheme. v. Capacity constraints:

a. The representative informed that despite ready availability of funds and the willingness of the end users to contribute, they have not been able to proceed with providing the town with these amenities owing to capacity constraints in the system. b. Since all approvals and work in the Water & sanitation sector constitutionally needs to be done by the TWAD board and CMWSSB, there is a delay in the process. c. We observed that the CMWSSB shall undertake a project in the water supply and the drainage sector, considering the huge demand supply gap.

iii. Power Supply: From Kovur and Thirumudivakkam substation getting power supply to end consumer of Kundrathur and around surrounding areas.

iv. Telecom:

BSNL is lacking due to network connectivity problem and internet connectivity Aircel, Airtel and Vodafone have wide range of network connectivity. Residents in that locality 95% using the above telecom.

5. Assess the availability of social infrastructure: The real estate growth of any locality mainly depends upon civic & social infrastructure and connectivity. Chennais Kundrathur is one locality that offers all and a real estate buyer can expect a profitable investment from this area. Located near Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road, Kundrathur is known as a suburb to Chennai and is about 10 km from the Chennai Airport through the GST Road. Recently, the Chormpet Railway Station, connecting the suburb to other major parts of the city, is also nearby. The government also announced that a new bridge connecting Kundrathur Junction will be constructed in Pallavaram near the GST Road. Kodambakkam-Sriperumbudur Road, Kundrathur Road, Murugan Koil Road and Pammal Main Road are a few main roads that connect the area to the major parts of the city. Kundrathur also offers commendable social infrastructure. Well established Schools such as Mukkula Nammalvar Chetty Vivekananda Vidyalaya, Little Flower Matriculation Higher Secondary School, State run 45 yrs old Sekkizhar Government Higher Secondary School (Resides at Kollacheri) and many more are available in the area. Sri Krish International CBSE School is launched very soon. Probably the commencement of academics from next coming year. The locality is also home to the Madha Engineering College and Chennai Institute of Technology, reputed educational institutes. Apart from this, the locality offers efficient health care facilities.

 Hospitals such as Sri Lakshmi Child Care Center, Ayyappa Clinic, Government Primary Health Center (Upgraded), Madha Medical College & Hospital and St Thomas Hospital among others are available in the area. So who is buying? The locality is seeing migration of people from places like Mylapore, Mambalam and Nanganallur. This is due to good connectivity plus affordability in Kundrathur. The locality is in demand on account of proximity to localities such as Tambaram, Porur and Sriperumbudur. The number of people looking for a flat/apartment has grown at an accelerated pace since 2010. Most of the city population is settling here because of the cost and infrastructure. 6.
