Kareli (officially known as Kareli Scheme) is a residential neighborhood of Allahabad. Developed by Awas Vikas in 1979, it was one of the biggest planned neighborhoods in India. The neighborhood is sub divided into neighborhoods like GTB Nagar, Gaus Nagar, Allahabad, Shams Nagar, Allahabad and Rehmat Nagar Colony, Allahabad.
The neighborhood was predominately occupied by the members of the mercantile middle class of Mirapur and Attarsuiya, and white collar workers from several public sector undertakings and private companies established in the new industrial region of Naini. It was later overwhelmed by a richer population after the oil boom and privatization.
The majority of the people are members of the salaried class rather than business owners.
