  • Late Shri Vishnu Waman Thakur Charitable Trust
    Late Shri Vishnu Waman Thakur Charitable Trust Instrument Amount Rating Action In Rs. Crore September 2016 Fund Based Limits rated on a long term scale Term Loan 10.41 [ICRA]BBB-(Stable) –Reaffirmed/ Suspension Revoked ICRA has revoked the suspension and re-affirmed the long-term rating outstanding on the Rs. 10.41 crore term loan of Late Shri Vishnu Waman Thakur Charitable Trust at [ICRA]BBB- (pronounced ICRA triple B Minus). The outlook on the long term rating is Stable. The rating reaffirmation takes into account the long standing experience of the trustees of Late Shri Vishnu Waman Thakur Charitable Trust (LSVWT/Trust) spanning more than two decades in the education sector, the proven track record of the school and junior college with steady increase in enrolments over the years and the diversified course offerings coupled with well established reputation of the trust in the region. The rating continues to draws comfort from the trust’s favorable financial profile characterized by healthy profit margins, lightly leverage capital structure and comfortable coverage indicators. Further, the trust’s ownership of land and building supports better operating margins and provides adequate availability of space for future expansion. The rating, however, continues to remain constrained by sub optimal occupancy levels for some of the institutes of the trust and the high level of concentration of revenues towards the school and junior college. ICRA also takes note of the intense competition from other schools and colleges in the nearby areas offering similar course also exert pressure on ability to attract and retain experienced faculty.

  • Study of Housing Typologies in Mumbai
    HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN MUMBAI CRIT May 2007 1 Research Team Prasad Shetty Rupali Gupte Ritesh Patil Aparna Parikh Neha Sabnis Benita Menezes CRIT would like to thank the Urban Age Programme, London School of Economics for providing financial support for this project. CRIT would also like to thank Yogita Lokhande, Chitra Venkatramani and Ubaid Ansari for their contributions in this project. Front Cover: Street in Fanaswadi, Inner City Area of Mumbai 2 Study of House Types in Mumbai As any other urban area with a dense history, Mumbai has several kinds of house types developed over various stages of its history. However, unlike in the case of many other cities all over the world, each one of its residences is invariably occupied by the city dwellers of this metropolis. Nothing is wasted or abandoned as old, unfitting, or dilapidated in this colossal economy. The housing condition of today’s Mumbai can be discussed through its various kinds of housing types, which form a bulk of the city’s lived spaces This study is intended towards making a compilation of house types in (and wherever relevant; around) Mumbai. House Type here means a generic representative form that helps in conceptualising all the houses that such a form represents. It is not a specific design executed by any important architect, which would be a-typical or unique. It is a form that is generated in a specific cultural epoch/condition. This generic ‘type’ can further have several variations and could be interestingly designed /interpreted / transformed by architects.

  • Place of Mahaparayan Maha-Recital of Shri-Sai Satcharita at Mumbai It Is Fascinating to Observe the Growth of Certain Places
    Place of Mahaparayan Maha-recital of Shri-Sai Satcharita at Mumbai It is fascinating to observe the growth of certain places that has an immense significance for the Sai-Devotees, today. The land on which Samadhi Mandirat Shirdi stands, was once upon a time a cactus jungle and was used as a dumping ground. Similarly the location in Mumbai where Maha Recital of Shri - Sai Satcharita was organized recently, was also created out of a dump yard. Thanks to numerous selfless and hard working Sai-Devotees. The triangular piece of land near Canara Bank at Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai was nothing but a thick jungle with marshy land when Sai Sansthan Managing Committee had visited it some years ago. The unhygienic environment filled with a foul smell was an assault on one senses and sensibilities. However in due course of time under the expert guidance of Shri Nitin Desai, a renowned art-director from Indian Film industry, the dark dungeon was transformed into a divine den .Parayandarshan and refreshment pavilions were erected. A special tent was set up for reciter's residence. Huge idols of god- goddesses were installed on the wooden platforms . Finally on 15th December the 'Parayandham' was ready to welcome all .By observing this one can not but agree with the adage that something good originates from ashes and rough stones give birth to a beautiful sculpture. Thus this place like Lendibaug in Shirdi provided bread and butter to many. The main gate reminding one about the glory of ancient palaces of India. Two statues of elephants that almost looked real , welcomed the visitors.

Several people allowed us access to otherwise difficult-to-reach places and deserve special thanks. Sachin Marti gave us our first introduction to the emerging city. Ramanuj Pathak, our project fellow, opened up a whole new world through his music and performances on the urbanising periphery. Mahendra Jadhav, provided us with great support during fieldwork in an uncertain terrain. We are very grateful to them.
