Nahur railway station

Nahur is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. Nahur railway station falls under the jurisdiction of Central Railways and it was constructed to reduce the distance (between two consecutive train stations) between Bhandup and Mulund railway stations, which was quite large. Nahur has also helped in reducing the congestion in these stations, especially during the peak hours. Only slow trains halt at Nahur, as it currently doesn't have the provisions (or the need) to introduce platforms for fast trains. Nahur station was officially inaugurated on 21 April 2006. Nahur station has been a catalyst in Bhandup's development, catering to the needs of those living in Bhandup East, as well as those near the Airoli Link road. This is also the nearest railway station on the Central Railway connecting to Airoli in New Mumbai. It can also be approached from Bhandup Station from either side. East and West of Nahur station are connected though the Mulund-Goregaon Link Road.

Mini Sabarimala
Mini Sabarimala

Mini Sabarimala, situated on a hillock surrounded by hills and valleys within the precincts of NCH Colony, Kanjurmarg (West), Mumbai, is the first ancient Ayyappa Temple outside Kerala State. As revealed by the astrologer Shri Karuvatta Kochugovindan, there was a big Devi temple and a small Ayyappa temple at this place, where today stands the temple of Shree Mini Sabarimala. These temples were destroyed by the foreign invaders. The remnants of these can be seen even today. The invaders also killed the priests of these temples.Since then the devotees used to worship Shri Ayyappa in the same dilapidated temple. Therefore after the formation of the temple trust in 1960, a need was felt to perform certain purification rites or the Dosha Parihara Kriyas like Astha Mangala Deva Prashanam. These rites were the prerequisites for starting the main construction work and re-installation of images.Accordingly in 1980, after performing Ashta Mangala Deva Prashanam, the temple trust started the construction work as per the details in Tantra Vidhi and Thachu Shastra of Kerala. They reconstructed the main Ayyappa temple in the center and temples of Devi Bhuvaneshvari and Shri Ganesha to its left and right respectively. Sarpakavu or the Nagadevatas were also installed in the Northeastern corner.Punahpratishtha or the reinstallation of Shri Ayyappa image and other images made of Panchaloha was done on Pushya Nakshatra day of the Kerala Hindu calendar, in the Midhunam (June–July) month by Shri Pullamvazhi Devan Narayanan Namboothiri, Pullamvazhi illam, Haripad, the famous Vedic and Tantra scholar from Kerala. During the year 2000, again the Ashta Mangala Deva Prashanam was performed. Various Poojas and Homams and Kalashabhishekam were performed by Mahatanthri Shri Devan Vasudevan Namboothiri.

IDC School of Design

IDC School of Design (Hindi: आईडीसी अभिकल्प विद्यालय), formerly Industrial Design Centre (IDC), is one of the oldest design schools in India, established in 1969 by the Government of India at the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. It offers a 4-year Bachelors program in Design, an integrated program (5-year B.Des + M.Des) and a 2-year Master of Design program in Industrial Design, Communication Design, Animation, Interaction Design and Mobility & Vehicle Design. The school also has a Ph.D. program in Design. Industrial Design Centre (1969) at the IIT Bombay campus was established with the vision of catering to the country's Design needs primarily through interventions in Industrial Design through a post-graduate diploma. The center has spearheaded the needs of the time through research and innovations by offering the first Master's program in Industrial Design (1980). Responding to the changing conditions in the visual domain in society and the country, the first Master's Program (M.Des) in Visual Communication (1984) started. Further, to meet the liberalized economy's demand, specializations in Interaction Design and Animation Design (2006) derived from the Visual Communication discipline. The Mobility and Vehicle Design (2010) from the Industrial Design discipline With the introduction of India's first Ph.D program in Design (2005) and a four-year, eight-semester Bachelor of Design (B.Des) program (2015), and a five-year, ten-semester dual degree B.Des + M.Des program. It has earned its reputation from an 'Industrial Design Centre' to the 'School of Design' by well-established Programs in Design for all stages of Professional studies. The programs include Summer courses and Projects/Internships, Under graduation (B.Des), Dual Degree (B.Des & M.Des), Post-Graduation (M.Des), Doctoral Studies (PhD.), and Post-Doctoral Research and studies. However, the option of doing a second degree will be available only at the end of the 3rd year. Both these programs would be credit-based and thus offer the flexibility to progress at one's own pace. A minimum level of performance is essential for satisfactory progress. The medium of instruction is English.

IDC School of Design provides a conducive environment for research, academics, and collaborative projects. Supported by excellent research facilities, technical expertise, and IIT Bombay's academic diversity, the IDC School, has been involved with various initiatives in all design areas. The potential for innovation at IDC lies fundamentally in terms of solving real-world problems.
