Status
Thus, the estate will allow limited access to people from surrounding areas, so that they can cross over to the other side. The existing Bata girls, boys and primary school will be upgraded and a separate school on 6.65-acre (26,900 m2) and a 300-bed hospital will be built.Also, special care seems to have been taken to ensure environmental sustainability. As much as 80 per cent of the property is open space. Some of the trees abounding the estate have been cut down, says Dabriwal, but none that are old and deserve to be preserved, and the buildings, especially the central spine, has been designed around it. Also there is the IT/industrial park and mall that will generate employment. The 1.2 kilometre riverfront will also be developed with recreation facilities for residents and visitors. Post completion, Calcutta Riverside will give employment to 30,570 people. No wonder the project was cleared as part of the state's social infrastructure development programme. The other project cleared in recent times—the re-development of 45 acres (180,000 m2) of CESC's Mulajore power plant— similarly makes a passing nod at socio-economic development of the nearby areas. The plant, located in a densely populated area, was closed down some years ago. It is to be redeveloped into a power sub-station, a residential complex and an industrial park.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was. In the midst of this sometimes excessive concern, a new sympathy for children was promoted. Sometimes this meant criticizing adults. . . . So far as parents were put on the defensive in this way, the beginning of the Christian era marks a revolution in the child’s status.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
