Want to reside in a theme park?

N.S. Info City residential township is expected to hit the record books for its unique sensibilities in man-made creations at the Doddaballapur-Bangalore International Airport Road, says RANJANI GOVIND



LIVING IN A DIFFERENT WORLD: The N.S. Info City township is a sprawling residential-cum-entertainment township built with fairy tale characters.

Can you think of a residential township in Bangalore where 1,500 sites sit pretty amidst some gargantuan remakes of Gulliver, the Denmark Mermaid, Alien Park, Aladdin and his magical lamp, Pied Piper of Hamelin…all these nestled amidst some eye catching musical fountains and thematic parks, swimming pools, temples, railway park, Jurassic park, and a unique space created with masai tribe of South Africa?

If that’s not digestible, consider this: The 100+acre N.S. Info City township - the brain-child of K.V. Narayan of K.V. Narayan Group of Companies, Bangalore - boasts of having all these amenities amidst the cool swaying of around 5000 trees of varied species.

If the water bodies, lawn and skating arena speak of the upper crust glamour, the worshipping areas and the Bheema and Bakasura Betta have legendary tales woven around its theme.

N.S. Info City will soon be the cynosure of everyone’s eye located on the Doddaballapur-Bangalore International Airport Road and the township opens from four large gates on different sides and the main arch at the entrance is designed on the lines of ‘Arc D Triumph, the Napoleon Gate in Paris.

The five acre park there was designed to resemble portions of the Vatican Palace in Rome and the backdrop there provides a stage for cultural and social activities, with a water body that lends sophistication to the thought.

Even the seating arrangements that crop up now and again in the 100 acres aren’t just the staid seats of any normal park.

Some are in the form of folded palm, some shaped as water melons and indeed some more amidst swans that interlock dreamy romantics.


Why such opulence, lavishness and design duplicates?

Says the effervescent Narayan, “I used to love fairy tales and children’s books from a very young age. But that didn’t stop as a kid. My craze to associate myself with the characters became a burning passion.

“Since I am a builder by profession, my frequent travels abroad took me to such destinations where I resolved to bring in all creations to India for people to enjoy seeing the world right here at Bangalore.

“It may be an obsession, but at the end of the day I have some world-class cement, stone and green reproductions from amusement and entertainment themes from across the world.

“The township is an amazing confluence of varied interests and leisure spots and I am hopeful it will be in the Guinness Book of Records too, as it is one-of-its-kind creation.”

If that covers the design aspects with allure and charm, hardcore construction details like water pipes and sewage lines are in Class I technical standard with asphalted wide roads too adding to the natty make-up, says Narayan.

Rain water harvesting is also taken care of with the man-made lake constructed at the lowest point that can hold a water capacity of millions that would take care of six months for residents.

“Since all the clearances are ready people can even think of construction in the sites,” says Narayan confidently, as his gigantic dream costing more than 30 crores as of now, will be reality in the next one year.
