City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has appointed Nirmala Niketan to study the socio-economic and demographic profile of Navi Mumbai, which will help the authority to plan effective development of Navi Mumbai.
"The Research Unit of the College of Social Work, Nirmala Niketan will conduct the study, which will provide the benchmark progress of Navi Mumbai and the direction in which city is moving," CIDCO said in a statement.
The survey and studies will be helpful to policy makers, planners and administrators in particular and others in general, it said.
"Without the co-operation and necessary help from the citizens it will not be possible to get response and reliable data. Incorrect information will however, lead to a wrong database, which will result in faulty planning. The success of the survey thus critically depends on the quality of response from public," CIDCO said.
The duration of survey will be from third week of January to May.
"These studies have played a key role in shaping up Navi Mumbai and will continue to provide guideline for the better future of citizens of the city," it added.
