The Area Development Scheme was carried out for the Punpun zone of Patna District of Bihar. For the exercise the class was divided into three groups of three, and a fourth group of four. The preliminary data was already collected for Patna Planning Area (PPA) divided into 15 zones, out of which one zone (comprising of the villages Behrawan and Nawada) showed great potential to be developed as recreation zones adjacent to Punpun River and were chosen. The total area of study is 3.31 sq km.
Land-Use
As per the Patna Master plan 2031 the defined area is under public-semi public, bio-conservation and residential landuse with bio-conservation land use majorly confined to the northern portion of the area along the punpun river. While as per the updated draft of Area development scheme of this area(fig.2) the assigned area is divided into special area and mixed land use.
Bihar Land Pooling Policy
ADS in the area will commence as soon as the Bihar Land Pooling Policy is notified. Some of the salient features of the policy are as follows -
1. At least 50% of the area of the Original Plot (OP) is returned to the concerned land owner as Final Plot (FP).
2. The lands proposed in the scheme shall be contiguous and approachable by an existing public road or road proposed in any Development/ Master Plan or Scheme. It shall be in accordance with the Land Use Zone of the Development/ Master Plan.
3. It will be necessary to have the consent of at least 80% of landowners or landowners of at least 80% of land covered under the scheme.
4. The earmarking of land for the development of infrastructure, parks, common amenities, parking, etc., shall be made from the total area covered under the scheme. During appropriation of the project, earmarking of land may approximately/ tentatively be -
• 15 percent for roads;
• 5 per cent for parks, playgrounds, gardens, and open spaces;
• 5 percent for social infrastructure and public utility places;
• not less than 3 percent for EWS Housing;
• 5 percent for sale

The whole area was divided into four blocks, with each block being worked upon by a group of three-four students. Land readjustment was done for all the plots, complying to the guidelines given under Bihar Land Pooling Policy. The work was carried out on ArcGis, and analysis of the land readjustment was further carried out. Street sections and projects were given as proposals.
Each group was also responsible for taking up different verticals of the project -
1. Socio-economic, Cultural and Infrastructure Study
2. Population and Demography
3. Principles and Case Studies of Land Readjustment Policy
4. Existing and Proposed Analysis
The final maps were generated -
1. Existing Plots of ADS
2. Proposed Net Land Use of ADS
3. Proposed Saleable & Non-Saleable Land
4. Overlap of Existing and Proposed Plots
Area Appraisal of Roorkee
The study was conducted in the old city of Roorkee, comprising an area of 800*800 sq m which was later reduced to 400*400 sq m.
The aim of the study was to understand the building use-plan of the area and how it differs from the land-use plan of the area. Alongside, the objectives were to understand the hierarchy of the streets and roads and the relationship between the recreational and open spaces with the buildings. The study also gave a clearer understanding of the ownership of buildings in the area, along with the construction types and age of the buildings existing in the old part of the city.

Other objectives of this study were to familiarize the students with the city of Roorkee, and to operate GIS software.
Methodology Flowchart of Work
The area was studied and identified under 7 verticals -
1. Building Use
2. Age of buildings
3. Height of buildings
4. Ownership of buildings
5. Construction of buildings
6. Road Network

The project was an introduction to the practical work of planning, after studies and presentations on theories and urban planners. A hypothetical site of 400 m x 300 x was given along with the prerequisites of the planning project. The sizes of plots for different categories of Group Housing and Individual Plotted Housing were given as
URDPFi guidelines had to be followed in alloting the community and open spaces. Concepts were first drawn out rooughly, after which the concepts were chosen for the neighbourhood planning. In this case, a pair of parallel curvilinear streets and crossed by a set of straight streets was decided upon which evolved with time and worked out to the following layouts as shown below.
The concept and planning of neighbourhoods was solidified and understood during this exercise.

Thesis - The Deputy Commissioner Office Complex, Saitual, Mizoram, School of Planning and Architecture Delhi
“Due to peculiar geographic location of Union Territory of Delhi , there is limited land availability for urban development. As a consequence one of the strategies proposed in Master Plan for Delhi 2021 is redevelopment and re-densification of low density areas by enhancing FAR by 50%. The book examines the development possibilities and proposes innovative design solutions for three community center precincts in the city of Delhi namely New Friends Colony, Janakpuri and Vikas Puri. The projects published are amongst the best works of the students of the final year’s Bachelor’s Degree program in Architecture, SPA Delhi, India.”
To create a space of governance that will reflect the dignity of the government housed within and inclusive of the people it is built for. It is to be an open public space for the people and suitable and homogenous to the context and to reflect, in whatever ways possible, the local traditions and culture.
Dissertation - Evolution of Church Architecture in Mizoram, School of Planning and Architecture Delhi
There are innumerable cultures across the world which has resulted in a diverse variety of traditions, languages and practices. These differences have resulted in a variety of physical manifestation in space and architecture of all types across the globe. This applies to religious architecture as well. The traditions, practices and needs of a community have resulted in different built forms of religious buidlings across the country and the world. Furthermore, different denominations in Christianity have different rituals and practices which have influenced the way spaces are used and resulted in a difference in the built form of the churches. This disseration will study and analyse how the differences in social structure, cultures, history, and practices have resulted in different church architecture, and will undergo a comparitive study between Shimla, the summer capital of the British Raj and Aizawl, a small city in the foothills of the Himalayas in North-East India.
