Ekta World boasts of multiple societies under their banner thanks to an array of luxury apartments and residential townships developed in over 3 decades. This gives them an advantage of working on social causes on a greater level bringing a large number of people together.
This Holi, Ekta World’s team decided to spread the message of an eco friendly festival and bring all the societies together for the cause. Since Holi is the festival of colours, and if played irresponsibly, can result in loss of millions of litres of water. This is something that Ekta World is well aware of. Water is the backbone of such colossal societies and loss of water would do no good to anyone.
Green Holi campaign was organized between all the societies that have been developed by Ekta World. The message was simple, to encourage and come up with a way to play Holi that is friendly to environment so that the well being of ecology is ensured. Many exciting prizes were announced for the winning societies along with attractive gift hampers. All they needed to do was to share pictures of celebrations with the judges.
Needless to say, every society came up with unique and creative ideas on making the festival friendly for environment. With their efforts, Ekta World and their esteemed residents saved water and ensured a green Holi.
The top five winners, Ekta Woods, Ekta Parksville, Ekta Bhoomi Gardens I & II and Sai Shraddha were chosen because of their extraordinary efforts and enthusiasm. Their zeal to create something different made the Holi Celebrations not only memorable for everyone in the society but also helped create an example that many other are expected to follow in the coming times.
Festivals in India are a great way to bring people together. With maximum green cover, recycled products and use of alternate sources of energy, EKTA World is one of the best and environmentally conscious brands in Maharashtra.
Ekta World ensures that a sense of harmony is maintained and persists amongst the residents for its projects. It is extremely essential to develop community living and that a secure and loving environment is created. To enhance this, Ekta Parksville hosted a grand event called the Funathon for all its families at its premium township in Virar. This amazing event was organized to give the residents an all-round experience of joy and fun and create relations in our Ekta Parivaar.
A lot of engaging individual and group activities were held for everyone in the family which helped improve their bonding. Musical chair was one such activity that was enjoyed by one and all. It was amazing to see everyone, whether old or young run around the chairs excitedly and compete yet encourage each other to do well. Another exciting game played was the family quiz. The game was divided into various rounds like fire round, buzzer round and guessing round. It was further intriguing that the questions were based on the family members’ interests and each family member had to contribute to answering and playing a vital role in winning the game. One more exciting game called the treasure hunt was played to suit the vibe of team building exercise. The players were split into different teams based on age or family wise and each team tries to find hidden objects or places by following a series of clues& hints. The game was designed in such a way that the residents were bound to explore every nook and cranny of the complex. There was even a drawing competition hosted for kids. It was brilliant to see tiny tots ooze out their creativity on paper using crayons and water colors. Post all the activities, a scrumptious meal were hosted for the residents which they gorged on happily while the fun and frolic continued. The funathon ended on a high note with a prize distribution ceremony and fun filled game of housie and of course our promise to be back soon with many more such initiatives.
This beautiful effort taken for Ekta Parksville residents was one of a kind and brought out a sense of belongingness in the residents and enabled them to work together as a team while getting to know each other better.

RERA is certainly a progressive and revolutionary legislation which will be a game changing proposition for the Indian real estate sector that has in the past has often faced with trust deficit due to more than one reason. The legislation which has come into being after lot of deliberation and discussions will pave way for a transparent and mature structure for the industry and thus enhance the credibility of the industry. This will provide much needed vibrancy and momentum to the entire set-up and ensure a smooth transition towards its next phase of growth. In fact, this very critical law literally holds the key to the future growth of the Indian real estate sector.
RERA along with other legislations and developments such as GST, Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act, 2016 and REIT’s, will further increase transparency and reliability within the sector and thus eliminate the gaps and anomalies that existed between supply and demand. This in turn will create a much stronger market place where both buyers and developers will be more proactive in their approach. These measures will augur well for the industry that will witness a big boost in institutional fund flowing into the sector at competitive rates. Institutionalisation of funding in sector like real estate and infrastructure is imperative as it will go a long way in infusing much needed liquidity into the system to meet its long term financial requirement.
As RERA will clear the opacity surrounding the domestic real estate sector, and put in place a very conducive scenario for home buyers as well as investors who have often adopted cautious approach. The prime objective of the legislation is to protect the interest of homebuyers and ensure timely delivery of projects. The consumer-centric law prescribes compulsory registration of all ongoing and upcoming real estate projects, as well as penalties and punitive measures on developers who delay their projects. In fact, the legislation is considered to be one of the most consumer-friendly laws passed by the Indian Parliament. Under the provisions of RERA, builders will have to provide with all the details of their projects to the regulator. Besides, they will also have to furnish quarterly updates as regards the progress of construction. Earlier end buyers would be often uncertain about getting delivery on time but with RERA now, developers will be compelled to complete their project on time. Now as per the RERA regulation, builders will have to keep 70 per cent of money collected from home buyers in separate account. There are now provisions whereby developers will face penalty in case of any delay or any default on their part. All these steps taken by the legislation will empower the buyers in a big way.
The appellate tribunal will hear and act on all related grievances. The definition of carpet area will give clarity of what actually buyer gets and developer cannot temper the offered design otherwise he will attract penalty. The parking area now needs to be clearly mentioned in the agreement. By safeguarding interest, RERA will help change buyers perception towards developers and thus help hasten the whole decision-making process of buying. Last but not the least, even brokers have been brought within the ambit of RERA and any deviation would invite penal actions. This move will see the emergence of a new consolidated broking fraternity who plays a major role in the real estate business.
Even though RERA is end-user centric, it has got all possible ingredients to augment growth in the overall industry. The provisions in the act will help build a much transparent and organized industry which will undergo a distinct consolidation wherein reputed builders will be calling shots over those who fail to perform and live up to the promises. This will drive away unscrupulous operators from the market thus create a much credible market place where buyers will be much more assured of their buying decision and thus entail vibrancy to the market. For the developers, the RERA provisions will bring about lot of discipline in implementation of projects.
Besides, developers will now be able to focus on devising much better offering depending upon the market need. This approach to a large extend will eliminate the aberrations that often result in greater imbalance between demand and supply. In other words, the developers will be able to optimize their efforts and resources in a big way and help build a mature real estate business. All this will expedite the process of institutionalization of the industry and bring down the cost of finance for builders who all these years have often struggled for right kind of liquidity.
