Ceremony to Hand Over New Four-Storey building for BEMS in Dagon Myothit
Seikkan Township Held
A ceremony to hand over new four-storey building for Basic Education
Middle School donated by Yuzana Construction Group to the Ministry of
Education was held at the school on Gangaw Street in the compound of Yuzana
Garden City Housing Project. The four-storey middle school built by Yuzana
Construction Group includes 24 classrooms, an office room of the
headmistress, a recreation room of the teachers, an assembly hall, a computer
room, an arts room, a
domestic science room, a library and toilets, and there are also computer, TV
sets and video cassette players. Implementation of Yuzana Garden City Project
which occupies about 800 acres of land, continues, and single housing units,
modern apartments, buildings of international standard, religious buildings,
sports grounds, bus terminals, markets, super markets and parks will be built
there.
Before 1988, Yangon City was crowded with squatters and homeless people
and densely populated; moreover, Yangon City with quarters which were not in
hygienic conditions, did not possess urban characteristics. So, step-by-step
measures have been taken to see to it that Yangon City, the capital of
Myanmar, is pleasant and beautiful and has urban characteristics like cities
of other countries. As the first step, Hlaingthaya, Shwepyitha and Dagon
Myothit have been established , and people from densely-populated wards and
squatter quarters in the city have been moved there. During the period of the
first phase, the Government could not provide much, and but it has made
arrangements for allotting plots, building roads and
supplying of water and electricity with the aim of enabling squatters to have
houses of their own and to live in hygienic conditions. With a view to
enabling government employees to have plots and houses of their own, plots
have been allotted in Dagon Myothit and loans extended to them. New towns
thus established have now possessed urban characteristics, and furthermore,
it is found that Hlaingthaya Myothit, established as an industrial town, is
thriving with industries. For the second phase, to ensure that the city is
pleasant and beautiful, in the places where the layout of squatters was not
systematic and in the densely-populated areas, hut-to-apartment schemes have
been implemented in cooperation with construction entrepreneurs, thereby
establishing modern housing estates; the schemes are now picking up. For the
third phase, with the aim of enabling the people from the city to enjoy fresh
air and recreation, arrangements for the garden city to enjoy fresh air and
recreation, arrangements for the garden city project covering Yuzana City
Project and Mingalardon City Project equipped with modern houses, markets,
hospitals, schools, sports grounds and recreation centres, have been made in
connection with new towns. Yuzana Garden City Project in Seikkan Township of
Dagon Myothit is a mammoth housing project; due to repercussions of financial
crises in Southeast Asian nations, the improvement of housing projects in
Myanmar have been delayed to some extent, but there was no serious difficulty
and problems. So, instructions have been given to implement housing projects
slowly but steadily, and as a result, Yuzana Garden City Project is taking
shape gradually. With respect to arrangements made to enable Yuzana Garden
City to have urban characteristics, it is found that a modern four-storey
middle school can be opened today. Moreover, bus lines between Yuzana Garden
City and downtown Yangon, have been opened today; with the improvement of
education and transport sectors, Yuzana Garden City will soon thrive. Yuzana
Family built a garden city where people of middle class and government
employees can live and donated a middleschool as well as a multimedia
teaching centre, teaching aids, furniture and stationery; moreover, it has
also provided assistance for the welfare of teachers and students. In Yuzana
Garden City Project,
16-mile-long concrete road and 5-mile-long tarred road were built. Air-con
Buses will ply between Yuzana Garden City Housing Project and Hsinma-like
Highway Terminal in Kamayut Township.
