We will get one-third of the funds from the state government, while the rest will need to be raised by us, depending upon the funds granted by the central government. It has also been decided to fasten the pace of developing the ‘sadhugram’, the area where sadhus will be accommodated during the mela. While we have already acquired 54 acres at Tapovan for sadhugram, 110 acres of land is yet to be acquired from the farmers concerned against transfer of development rights (TDR). The remaining 210 acres are in the ‘no development zone’ and the process to change the reservation for the said land has already been started.”

After the approval of the above stated plan it has been ensured that the Simhastha Kumbh mela 2015 is all set to tailor the needs of Nashikites and the others and also keenly looks into matters of public present.
