This is related to health, living standard and environment of the citizens and the Town. Due to rapid development and growing population many Environmental and Social problems are created. Therefore Maharashtra Government has made it mandatory to prepare Annual Environmental Status Report (ESR). According to State Law Section 234, paragraph 12, subject number 8, Maharashtra State Municipal Corporation & Council law 1994 and part 67A related 74 th amendment in year 1992, has made preparation of ESR compulsory. Panvel is a Gateway of Konkan & Western Maharashtra and close to Navi Mumbai, therefore it’s demographic and economic growth is very rapid. This is resulting in the stress on infrastructural facilities like transportation, education, recreation, health, sports, service sector, manufacturing etc.. Therefore considering the present situation and future needs, the improvement in the existing infrastructure and addition of new facilities has become essential. The content of this ESR may be referred during the designing and implementing new development projects. The basic facilities provided in different wards and sectors indicate town’s functional capacity. All Departments of Municipal Council are involved in executing the environmental programs. The overall environmental status is result of joint efforts of various Departments, which is depicted in this Environmental Status Report 2014-2015. This Report will certainly will be useful for any sort of decision to be taken in the future.
