Gen (retd) S.F. Rodrigues, the Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Union Territory, Chandigarh, is involved hands-on to change the face of the city, and make it as a model of excellence, whether setting up a knowledge-hub or education city or tourist-friendly city is concerned, or the welfare and upliftment of the people living in the slums and rural areas around the city.
"They are part of our support system and we cannot ignore them", he says. And right from the time he took up the oath as Governor of Punjab till date, his very passionate refrain and appeal to the people of Chandigarh had been to join him in bringing the change that we want to see in the city.
"I need your time, your commitment, and your ideas", he has been always saying so, at the cost of repetitiveness, but the people of the city do require to be reminded time and again.
MyChandigarh also appeals to everyone anywhere around the globe to just think of the ways as to how you can contribute to make your own city, your home, a world-class city where everyone lives with peace, and have equal access to every basic necessities of life.

Chandigarh is Changing
Chandigarh is changing at a rapid pace. Besides the population increase with the explosion of IT and the service industry in the northern region, more and more people from other states, as well as from abroad are finding the ambiance just right for their entrepreneurial spirits to grow.
And every day there is new addition to the city's life providing more options to the visitors to enjoy its modern scapes.
However, many of us would soon be missing some of the old landmarks, that many of you left behind before shifting to your homes abroad. For one, the KC theatre has vanished from its site. It is giving place to a new multiplex. Though the Administration is insisting on the owners to retain the original facade and design, let us see what emerges ultimately. The Jagat theatre is also in for make-over with a new multiplex and joining the race is the Jagat theatre, which, just a few days back, has also been taken over by another company on lease for converting into a multiplex.
Well, those who visit the city after one or two years, would definitely find many things changed.
