Agra nowadays is not only about Taj Mahal and quaint cottage industry products. It is getting rapidly transformed with modern housing projects, malls and markets with an emphasis on good living in all its dimensions. Nikhil Homes Limited is one organization, which has been active in this direction. It has completed Nikhil Garden and Nikhil Enclave while Nikhil Estate and Nikhil Udhayan are under construction.
And now Nikhil Paradise, another residential scheme with ample touch of green, is to be built. This will be a magnificent lifestyle colony just two minutes away from all important locations. The area is to have 10 acres of gardens alone, besides trees and plantations. Eco-friendly practices such as solar heating, solar lighting and hygienic garbage disposal will further preserve the environment.
