Ramco Community Services has taken a pioneering step in shaping the future of Rajapalayam by leading the development of the city’s Master Plan. This initiative was not just about urban planning—it was about bringing people together. Through extensive multi-stakeholder consultations, RCS engaged civil society organisations, the general public, and key government officials, including those from the Municipality and other relevant departments. This collective effort ensured that the Master Plan reflects the aspirations and needs of every citizen.
To achieve a well-structured and future-ready city, we brought in a competent consultant to coordinate and conduct the technical work. Using advanced technology such as GIS for surveying, mapping, and zoning exercises, the planning process was both data-driven and comprehensive. Every aspect—industries, agriculture, institutions, infrastructure—has been carefully integrated to promote balanced growth while prioritizing sustainability and inclusivity.
The state government approved the Master Plan under section 28 of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 (Tamil Nadu Act 35 of 1972). It officially gazetted it (G.O.Ms.No.21, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)], 30th January 2024) marking a significant milestone. This document is more than just a blueprint for development; it is an empowering framework, much like a constitution, ensuring that Rajapalayam grows in a planned, organised, and sustainable manner. With better infrastructure, thriving industries, and a focus on environmental responsibility, we are creating a liveable and future-ready city for generations to come.
Ramco Community Services remains committed to fostering development that benefits all. This Master Plan is a testament to what collaboration, vision, and responsible planning can achieve.
