I think demand for locally produced denim-dye -> o-Nitrobenzaldehyde -> styrene may go up - Ballari denim may not have China’s blue (https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/jun/20/ballari-denim-may-not-have-chinas-blue-2158851.html) and MRPL considering styrene as an additional option for expansion. This may be the case for other petrochemical products also.

CEZ soon for development of Uttara Kannada: Jagadish Shettar (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/cez-soon-for-development-of-uttara-kannada-jagadish-shettar/article31875091.ece)
Govt must rethink railway projects in Uttara Kannada (https://www.downtoearth.org.in/blog/wildlife-and-biodiversity/govt-must-rethink-railway-projects-in-uttara-kannada-71858)

With the rail corridor, the state hopes to transport iron ore and other minerals to the upcoming port at Tadri near Ankola and to ports such as Karwar, Madgaon and Vasco in Goa. This is where the irony is.

There is an existing railway track, 65 km longer and substantially underutilised that connects Hubballi to Madgaon and further to Karwar junction and Ankola.

Additionally, a road network connects Hubballi to the Tadri port via National Highway 52 and has been used for transporting iron ore for years.

Alternatives to the project

With much of the coastal landscape well connected and the coastal highway exponentially increasing transport alternatives, it is convenient for the government to utilise the rapidly developing Mumbai-Mangalore transport hub, rather than slash the forest.


If we build downstream steel industries for the world market then there is no need to export iron ore. North Karnataka mostly producing for internal markets using raw materials from internal resources and the coast mostly producing for world market from imported raw materials (including marine resources) like crude oil could reduce burden on westernghats. What North Karnataka can do is to produce steel components and ask the coast to add plastic components to it for export. An production/assembly line from North Karnataka to the coast. (In case it is cluster model upstream part of cluster can come up in North Karnataka and down stream in coastal area). For other direction both raw materials or components options can be explored depending upon traffic load. But, will companies/clusters agree for this arrangement?

Anyway without any doubt Tulunadu requires faster development of North Karnataka for its own security. Let us wish North Karnataka to serve internal market more than the parched city and export value-added products in place of iron ore or any other raw material which is it doing currently.

“ಕೈಗಾರಿಕಾ ಕಾಂಪ್ಲೆಕ್ಸ್’ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಚಿಂತನೆ - ಸ್ಥಳಾವಕಾಶದ ಕೊರತೆ ನೀಗಲು ಸಹಕಾರಿ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karnataka-edition/topnews-karnataka-edition/thinking-for-the-industrial-complex)

ಸಮೀಕ್ಷೆಯ ವರದಿಯ ಆಧಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕಾ ಕಾಂಪ್ಲೆಕ್ಸ್ನ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಸೂಕ್ತ ರೂಪರೇಖೆ ಸಿದ್ಧಪಡಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಖಾಸಗಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಸರಕಾರಿ ಸಹಭಾಗಿತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಯೋಜನೆ ಜಾರಿಗೆ ಬರುವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಿದೆ.

Summa: An Industrial Complex, like Raheja Industrial Park (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9srp6LvzC9Q) 2 (https://rahejateslaindustrial.com/home.html) 3 (http://www.rahejauniversal.com/raheja/project/62-64-Raheja-Commercial-OnGoing-RahejaDistrictII), is planned in one acre land in Baikampady to overcome land shortage issue. The complex will support industries like agro-based & food processing, garments & textiles, electronics, electrical panels, motors, tools & dye, aluminium fabrication, rubber products, paper products & tissue etc.

I hope park includes clinic & trauma centre like Raheja Industrial Park though not mentioned in the news. Is there land in vicinity to make it industrial township with residential complex etc?

I think in the next phase the industrialists should try to get a few acres of land meant for Nagarjuna Steel for constructing industrial complexes/township.

ಮಳೆಗಾಲದ ಅಪರೂಪದ ಅತಿಥಿ ಕಲ್ಲಣಬೆ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karnataka-edition/topnews-karnataka-edition/rainy-season-mushroom)

Whether anyone is working on how to cultivate this type of mushroom (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_d-r9W5q58) 2 (https://www.facebook.com/SuvarnaNews/videos/%E0%B2%89%E0%B2%A1%E0%B3%81%E0%B2%AA%E0%B2%BF-%E0%B2%95%E0%B2%B2%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%B2%E0%B2%A3%E0%B2%AC%E0%B3%86/351870888835664/) (I think रूगड़ा/फूटका/पुटु (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvqUv2uHRp8) , astraeus/geastrum mushrooms) in a commercial scale in a controlled environment with artificial lightning 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3fS8zSJmSc) 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYKlfFYTl-8)?

I think we can even try electric shock treatment on all types of mushrooms including this one). Since this variety tastes more like meat than others it may have a lot of scope in growing vegan market with adequate storage & packaging techniques.

Paddy farmers upbeat after good rain and the coming of added manpower (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/paddy-farmers-upbeat-after-good-rain-and-the-coming-of-added-manpower/article31884419.ece)

Since paddy cultivation in the coastal region is carried out on rain-fed land unlike in irrigated areas, hybrid varieties cannot be introduced here, Ms. Seetha said. “Farmers in the region grow paddy for local consumption — predominantly MO 4 variety used to produce boiled rice — than to cater to other regions,” Mr. Kempe Gowda said. The department supplies 18 varieties of paddy seeds to farmers, he added.


Why did Tulunadu stopped cultivating gandhasale? As I posted earlier Kerala is exporting gandhakasala (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayanad_Gandhakasala_rice) to Germany under biodiversity programme (https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2013/oct/09/Wayanad-rice-set-to-boil-in-Germany-524503.html).

Is this to support handicraft industries in tribal areas? Or for paper products?

ದೇರೆಬೈಲ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿದ್ಧವಾಗಲಿದೆ “ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಐಟಿ ಪಾರ್ಕ್’ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karnataka-edition/topnews-karnataka-edition/mangalore-it-park-to-be-ready-in-derebail) 2 (http://epaper.udayavani.com/EditionPage/EPpage.php?edn=Manipal&isid=UVANI_SSMG_20200626#Page/2)

ಕೊರೊನಾ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದ ಐಟಿ ಉದ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರವು ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ “ವರ್ಕ್ ಫ್ರಂ ಹೋಂ’ ಪರಿಕಲ್ಪನೆಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಆದ್ಯತೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದ ಕ್ಲಸ್ಟರ್ ಮಾದರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಪೆನಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಐಟಿ ಉದ್ಯಮಿಗಳು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಒಲವು ತೋರುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಕ್ಲಸ್ಟರ್ ಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಲವು ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳು ಆರಂಭವಾಗುವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಿದ್ದು, ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಪೂರಕವಾಗಿ ಐಟಿ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರಕ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲ್ಪಿಸುವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಈ ಮೂಲಕ ಸುಮಾರು 2000ಕ್ಕೂ ಅಧಿಕ ಜನರಿಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಒದಗಿಸಿಕೊಡುವುದು ಈ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಮೂಲ ಉದ್ದೇಶ.


Summa: Preparations are going on for building IT Park in 40% of 4 acres land near AJ Medical College, Derebail to generate more than 2,000 jobs and remaining 60% of land will be used for residence and other infrastructure development to facilitate work from home concept.

Good that the government has opted for 'Integrated IT Park' (by definition IT Park itself is a cluster; rather than 'work from home' Integrated IT Park will support 'walk to work'; better one is 'work from anywhere'). In the next stage, once IT Park is realized by any chance, we can go for a bigger 'Integrated IT Township' with SWAC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iFaTYpGYM8) facility. We can even plan for SWAC Data Centres 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFhlGgcU0To) or related ones like floating data centres 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYNwIfCb440) or subsea data centres 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXMwyFoEwFM). In the mean time, our educational institutes can start teaching these types of data centres to relevant students.

Whether all three Science & Technology Parks proposed by MUDA will be developed as 'Integrated Science & Technology Township' under PPP model? They can be developed in colloboration with universities as most of university campuses are already integrated educational townships.

ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ 3 ಡಿ ಪ್ರಿಂಟಿಂಗ್, ಕೃತಕ ಬುದ್ಧಿಮತ್ತೆ, ಯಂತ್ರೋಪಕರಣಗಳ ತಯಾರಿ, ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳ ಅಗತ್ಯಗಳ ಪೂರೈಕೆಯ ಉತ್ಪಾದನ ಘಟಕಗಳು ಹಾಗೂ ಸರಕು ಸಾರಿಗೆ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ, ಘನ ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ನಿರ್ವಹಣೆ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿನ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖೀಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಕೊರೊನಾ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವು ಉದ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳು ಹೊಸ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆದಿವೆ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಔಷಧಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಗತ್ಯವಿರುವ ಕ್ಲಿನಿಕಲ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಸ್ವತ್ಛತಾ ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳು, ಆಹಾರ ಮತ್ತು ಕೃಷಿ ಆಧಾರಿತ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳು, ಪ್ಲಾಸ್ಟಿಕ್ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಬೇಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿವೆ.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ವೈದ್ಯಕೀಯ ಸೇವೆಗೆ ಗುರುತಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದೆ. ವೈದ್ಯಕೀಯ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಅವಶ್ಯವಿರುವ ಸಲಕರಣೆಗಳು, ಉತ್ಪನ್ನಗಳನ್ನು ತಯಾರಿಸಲು ಅವಕಾಶವಿದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಇತರ ರಾಜ್ಯ, ದೇಶಗಳಿಗೂ ಪೂರೈಸಬಹುದು. ಕ್ಲಸ್ಟರ್ ಡೆವಲಪ್ಮೆಂಟ್ ಯೋಜನೆಯಡಿ ಗಂಜಿಮಠದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ಲಾಸ್ಟಿಕ್ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆ ಕುರಿತು 91.32 ಕೋ.ರೂ. ವಿಸ್ತೃತ ಯೋಜನೆ ಸಿದ್ಧಪಡಿಸಿ ಅನುದಾನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ರಾಸಾಯನಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ರಸಗೊಬ್ಬರ ಸಚಿವಾಲಯಕ್ಕೆ ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇವೆಲ್ಲವೂ ಈಗ ವೇಗ ಪಡೆಯಲು ಸಕಾಲ.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಅಂತಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಯಮಿತ (ಬಿಐಎಎಲ್) ವತಿಯಿಂದ ರಕ್ಷಣ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಉತ್ಪನ್ನಗಳ ತಯಾರಿಕಾ ಕ್ಲಸ್ಟರ್ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸುವ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವ ಹಿಂದೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಅದನ್ನು ಜಾರಿಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಆರಂಭವಾಗಬೇಕಿದೆ.

ಇವುಗಳಿಷ್ಟು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಭವಿಷ್ಯದ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿಂದ ಆಗಬೇಕಿರುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು. ಇವು ಒಂದು ಭಾಗವಾದರೆ, ಮತ್ತೊಂದೆಡೆ ಕೋವಿಡ್ 19ನಿಂದ ದಿಕ್ಕೆಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಆರ್ಥಿಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಸರಿದಿಶೆಗೆ ತರುವ ಹೊಣೆಗಾರಿಕೆ ಜನಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಡಳಿತದ ಮೇಲಿದೆ.

ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಹಾಗೂ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರಕಾರಗಳು ವಿವಿಧ ಉಪಕ್ರಮಗಳಡಿ ಸಹಾಯ ಧನ, ನೆರವು ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದರೂ ಅವು ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳಿಗೆ, ಸ್ಥಳೀಯರಿಗೆ ಸಿಗುವಂತಾಗಲು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಮುತುವರ್ಜಿ ವಹಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ.

ಆಗಬೇಕಾಗಿರುವುದು

1. ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಔಷಧ ಹಾಗೂ ಕ್ಲಿನಿಕಲ್ ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳ ಉತ್ಪನ್ನ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವಕಾಶವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿರುವ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ. ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಔಷಧ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸುವ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ರೂಪಿಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಮರುಜೀವ ನೀಡಿ ಈ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆಕರ್ಷಿಸುವುದು.

2. ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿರುವ 4 ಯೋಜನೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂಆರ್ಪಿಎಲ್ ಹೊರತುಪಡಿಸಿ ಉಳಿದ 3 ಖಾಸಗಿ ವಲಯಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದ್ದು. ಈ ಎಲ್ಲ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ತ್ವರಿತವಾಗಿ ಕಾರ್ಯಾರಂಭ ಮಾಡುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಕಾರ ಮುತುವರ್ಜಿ ವಹಿಸಿ ಕಾರ್ಯ ಪ್ರವೃತ್ತವಾಗುವುದು.

3. ಹೊಸದಾಗಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗೆ ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗಳು ಬರುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೂಡಿಕೆ ಸ್ನೇಹಿ ವಾತಾವರಣ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸುವುದು. ಆತ್ಮನಿರ್ಭರ ಯೋಜನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವ ರೀತಿಯ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳನ್ನು ಆರಂಭಿಸಬಹುದೆಂಬ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡುವುದು.

4. ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೃಷಿ ಆಧಾರಿತ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳು, ಗುಡಿ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳು ಆಯುರ್ವೇದ ಔಷಧಗಳು, ಖಾದಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಗ್ರಾಮೋದ್ಯೋಗ ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಸ್ವದೇಶಿ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಇರುವ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳನ್ನು ಗುರುತಿಸಿ ಮೇಕ್ ಇನ್ ಇಂಡಿಯ ಯೋಜನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹ ನೀಡುವುದು.

5. ಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆಯಿಂದ ಹಿಡಿದು ಮೀನಿನವರೆಗೆ ಹಲವಾರು ರೀತಿಯ ‘ಕುಡ್ಲ’ ವೈವಿಧ್ಯಗಳಿವೆ. ಇವುಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹಿಸಿ ರಫ್ತಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತೇಜನ ನೀಡುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಜಾರಿಗೊಳಿಸುವುದು.

ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಹೂಡಿಕೆ ಚಿತ್ರಣ
17,896 : ಕಿರು, ಸಣ್ಣ ಮತ್ತು ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳು

1,241.74 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ಹೂಡಿಕೆ

99,035 ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳು

ಬೃಹತ್ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳು: 22

36,088.75 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ಹೂಡಿಕೆ

8,044 ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳು

ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು : 04

ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳನ್ನು ಸೆಳೆಯಲು ಸಕಾಲ
ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಇರುವ ಅವಕಾಶ ಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಚುರಪಡಿಸುವ ಕಾರ್ಯನಡೆಯಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ. ಚೀನ ಬಹಿಷ್ಕರಿಸುವ ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸೆಳೆಯುವ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಗಳು ನಡೆಯಬೇಕಿದೆ. ಜತೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಘೋಷಿಸಿರುವ ಆತ್ಮನಿರ್ಭರ ಯೋಜನೆಯಡಿ ಸಣ್ಣ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಗೆ ಯುವಕರಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡುವು ದಕ್ಕೂ ಇದು ಸರಿಯಾದ ಸಮಯ.

ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳು ಸಂಕಷ್ಟದ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಯನ್ನು ಎದುರಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಒಂದೆಡೆ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರ ಕೊರತೆ ಎದುರಾಗಿದ್ದು ಹೊರರಾಜ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಹೊರಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳಿಂದ ಬರುವ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರಿಗೆ ಸರಕಾರದಿಂದ ಪೂರಕ ಕ್ರಮಗಳು ಆಗಬೇಕು. ಕಚ್ಚಾವಸ್ತುಗಳ ಕೊರತೆ, ಬೆಲೆ, ಸಾಗಾಟ ದರವೂ ದುಬಾರಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನೊಂದೆಡೆ ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆಯ ಸವಾಲು ಕೂಡ ಇದೆ. ಈ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಉತ್ತೇಜನಗಳು ಅಗತ್ಯವಿದೆ. ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಸರಕಾರ ನೀಡಿರುವ ಸಾಲ ಕಂತು ಪಾವತಿ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆ (ಮೊರೆಟೆರಿಯಂ) ಆಗಸ್ಟ್ಗೆ ಮುಗಿಯಲಿದ್ದು ಇದನ್ನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಆರು ತಿಂಗಳು ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಬೇಕು.

Summa: DK's economic growth hence employment generation depends upon speedy completion of four ongoing projects namely Rs. 20,000 crores MRPL expansion, Rs. 854 crores Syngene, Rs. 100 crores Anthea Aromatics, Rs. 84 crores Ulka Enterprises and also Ganjimutt Plastic Park. Earlier Belgium Trade Commission had identified opportunities in areas like 3D printing (additive manufaturing), artificial intelligence, engineering goods, hospital supplies & equipments, solid waste management equipments & machines. Covid-19 has created opportunities in pharmaceutical, clinical & sanitation equipments manufacturing, agriculture & food processing based industries and plastic industries. Earlier proposals like Medical Device Park and BIAL Defense Cluster have to be revived. Under 'Make In India' agriculture based industries, home industries, ayurvedic medicine, khadi & rural industries need to be supported. Export of regional specialities from jasmine to fish should be encouraged.

Summa: DK economy depends upon agricultural & horticultural crops like paddy, arecanut, cocoa, cocnut, black pepper, rubber, vegetables & fruits. Expectation are stable price for arecanut; minimum support price package for arecanut, paddy & coconut; NAFED coconut procurement center; KMF type market for fruits & vegetables; dry, chilled/refrigerated, cold/frozen storage facilities; support & funds for producing value added products of arecanut, coconut, fruits.

In addition to crops listed above, I have already listed food processing industries for production of value added products of jackfruit, colocassia/taro, mushroom, breadfruit, heart of palm etc. I will come up with a full list later in berake attilu.

I hope Udayavani will soon publish a full page article on feasibility of establishing 'SWAC (https://otecorporation.com/swac-2/) IT/BT Township' or 'SWAC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XzFAeCmIXE) Hardware Silicon Valley' in Tulunadu soon.

Amid pandemic, there is a growing demand for jackfruit (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/amid-pandemic-there-is-a-growing-demand-for-jackfruit/articleshow/76914688.cms)

Time has also come for an exclusive outlets that sell jackfruit in the form of the whole fruit, pre-packed, value-added products with a longer shelf life as well as a counter that will serve jackfruit preparations such as a smoothies, milkshakes, pedas, ice-creams, and other products,” he added.


We have to encourage local cultivation of red variety for ripe one. But what is demand in abroad is canned 'pottu gujje' (unripe jackfruit with lot of rags) chunks 1 (https://www.clearspring.co.uk/products/organic-young-jackfruit-chunks) 2 (https://www.vegetigi.com/a458/iqf-green-jackfruit-chunks) which is used in various vegan recipes. In addition there is demand for dried raw bulbs, raw jackfruit bulb flour and others 1 (https://www.bigbasket.com/pd/40142010/frubites-freeze-dried-snack-100-pure-jackfruit-16-g/) 2 (https://www.amazon.in/Vaccum-Healthy-Jackfruit-Perfect-Delicious/dp/B07R2JZ861) 3 (https://www.qtrove.com/products/snackwise-vacuum-fried-jackfruit-chips-pack-of-2).

For how many days 'ghee roast masala paste' can be stored? What is the way to store it? Whether any preservative other than spices & ghee is added to it? (Along with spices 1 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S221479931500140X) 2 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5030248/) 3 (http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/1450-7188/2009/1450-71880940195S.pdf) I think ghee itself act as a preservative just like oil in pesto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesto), pickle etc; as such ghee is used in halwa, laddu etc which are not persihable immediately).

Earlier there was a proposal to develop Maravoor (proposed Nagarjuna Steel Plant land) for port based smart city (Smart Industrial Port Cities, SIPCs?). If multistoreyed industrial complexes are constructed then a lot of industries can come up in Maravoor area even after allocation of land for Coast Guard Academy.

ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸಣ್ಣ, ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಹಾಗೂ ಬೃಹತ್ ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ 30 ರಿಂದ 2,500ರ ವರೆಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗಿಗಳು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವ 100 ಕ್ಕೂ ಅಧಿಕ ಐಟಿ ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳು ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಸ್ವದೇಶದಲ್ಲದೆ ಅಮೆರಿಕ, ಯರೋಪ್, ಮಧ್ಯಪ್ರಾಚ್ಯ ದೇಶಗಳಿಗೆ ತಮ್ಮ ಉತ್ಪನ್ನಗಳನ್ನು ರಫ್ತು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿವೆ. ...

...

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ ರಾಜ್ಯದ 2ನೇ ಐಟಿ ಹಬ್ ಆಗುವ ಎಲ್ಲ ಅರ್ಹತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವಕಾಶಗಳನ್ನು ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಇನ್ಫೋಸಿಸ್, ಕಾಗ್°ನಿಜೆಂಟ್ ಗ್ಲೋಬಲ್ ಸರ್ವಿಸಸ್ ಪ್ರೈ.ಲಿ., ದಿಯಾ ಸಿಸ್ಟಮ್ಸ್ ಪ್ರೈ.ಲಿ., ಎಂಸೋರ್ಸ್ ಲಿ., ಎಂಪಾಸಿಸ್, ಇನ್ವೆಂಜರ್ ಟೆಕ್ನಾಲಜೀಸ್ ಪ್ರೈ.ಲಿ., ಬೋಳಾಸ್ ಇಂಟೆಲ್ಲಿ ಸೊಲ್ಯೂಶನ್ ಪ್ರೈ.ಲಿ., ಅಟ್ಲಾಂಟಿಕ್ ಡಾಟಾ ಬ್ಯೂರೋ ಸರ್ವಿಸಸ್ ಪ್ರೈ.ಲಿ. ಮುಂತಾದವುಗಳು ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಐಟಿ ರಫ್ತು ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳಾಗಿವೆ. ಮುಡಿಪು ಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ಫೋಸಿಸ್ ವಿಶಾಲ ಮತ್ತು ಸುಸಜ್ಜಿತ ಘಟಕವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಹೋಲಿಸಿದರೆ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾನವ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲ ವೆಚ್ಚ ( ವೇತನ ಹಾಗೂ ಇತರ ಸವಲತ್ತುಗಳು) ಶೇ.30ರಷ್ಟು ಕಡಿಮೆ. ಉತ್ತಮ ಟೆಲಿಕಾಂ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯಗಳು, ಡಾಟಾ ಕಮ್ಯೂನಿಕೇಶನ್ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯಗಳಿವೆ. ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ, ರೈಲು ,ರಸ್ತೆ ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ಸಂಚಾರ ಸೌಕರ್ಯಗಳಿವೆ. ಐಟಿ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತೇಜನ ನೀಡಲು ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ವೇರ್ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಟೆಕ್ನಾಲಜಿ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ಸ್ ಆಫ್ ಇಂಡಿಯಾ (ಎಸ್ಟಿಪಿಐ) ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಚರಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ಅಂಕಿ ಅಂಶ

ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಐಟಿ ಕಂಪೆನಿ 110
ಉದ್ಯೋಗಿಗಳು (ಅಂದಾಜು) 12,000′
ಐಟಿ ಎಸ್ಇಝಡ್ 1

ಸರಕಾರದಿಂದ ಏನನ್ನು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ?

ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕನ್ನಡ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಐಟಿ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ಅವಕಾಶವಿದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಐಟಿ ಸ್ನೇಹಿ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ರೂಪುಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು. ಸರಕಾರ ಹಲವಾರು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಐಟಿ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವ ಮಾಡುತ್ತ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉದ್ಯೋಗಾವಕಾಶಗಳ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಯ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವವನ್ನು ಕಾರ್ಯಗತಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಕ್ರಮ ವಹಿಸಬೇಕು.

ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಐಟಿ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಗೆ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹಿಸುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಅವಧಿಯವರೆಗೆ ತೆರಿಗೆ ರಜೆ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯ ನೀಡಬೇಕು. ಇದರಿಂದ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಐಟಿ ಉದ್ಯಮಗಳು ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಬರಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂಟರ್ನೆಟ್ ಬ್ಯಾಂಡ್ವಿಡ್¤ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಬೇಕು ಹಾಗೂ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಸೌಲಭ್ಯವನ್ನು ಅಳವಡಿಸಬೇಕು. ಇದರಿಂದಾಗಿ ಐಟಿ ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ವರ್ಕ್ ಫ್ರಂ ಹೋಂ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು ಸುಗಮವಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ವಿದೇಶಗಳಿಗೆ ರಫ್ತು ಮಾಡುವ ಸಣ್ಣ ಐಟಿ ಕಂಪೆನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ, ಉತ್ತೇಜನ , ವಿದೇಶಿ ಹಣ ವಿನಿಮಯ ಮುಂತಾದುವುಗಳಿಗೆ ನೆರವು ನೀಡಲು ಉಪ ಕಚೇರಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಯಾದರೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸಹಕಾರಿಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಮುಂದಿನ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಐಟಿ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆಕರ್ಷಿಸುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಸ್ಕಾಂ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೂ ಆದ್ಯತೆ ನೀಡಬೇಕು. ಐಟಿ.ಕಾಂನಂತಹ ಸಮಾವೇಶಗಳನ್ನು ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲೂ ಆಯೋಜಿಸಬೇಕು.

Not so now, so many internal infections now are due to inadequate quarantine.

Karnataka govt may do away with tracing, testing of contacts (https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/jul/02/karnataka-govt-may-do-away-with-tracing-testing-of-contacts-2164207.html)

Highlighting the need to prioritise and use available resources optimally in the backdrop of an increasingly overwhelming number of cases, experts have suggested to the government that testing of all primary and secondary contacts may be futile and instead, only high-risk contacts and symptomatic persons should be tested henceforth. The government is said to be considering this suggestion seriously.


Dakshina Kannada situation is a bit worrisome with many no contact and SARI/ILI cases. Udupi is still under control and it has not reported any SARI/ILI case recently. Let us hope the state government does not impose rules uniformly across Karnataka. But whatever the government decision let us continue protecting our families through self isolation. But there is a issue of single room families though Tulunadu is almost slum free.

One more worry is sanity workers not using masks and hand glouses. They are least protected. One round of random tests should be conducted on sanity workers as early as possible. Unless these workers are provided with protection gears DK might end up paying dearly for this ignorance in near future as disease start spreading through house maids.

Let us also wait & see how self-imposed sealdown is working in Ullal. Hope Aarogya Setu will work as before despite of the state government's any decision.

By the way, how many migrants have returned to Tulunadu by train? I have already posted warning that try to retain migrants or else don't allow them come back immediately.

In case of Udupi bulk are Maharashtra returnees, and in case of DK it is Gulf returnees. Does Udupi's better performance mean Maharashtra retunees are more disciplined than Gulf returnees?

One reason for Udupi's better performance could be large number of samples collected. (and then pool testing?).

Udupi does not have slums like the parched city, Udupi's population density is very low. So, pandemic can't happen so easily.

ಕ್ವಾರಂಟೈನ್ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ
ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರನ್ನು ಸರಕಾರದ ಆದೇಶದಂತೆ ಉಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಅವರ ಊರಿಗೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ವಾಪಸಾಗುವ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರಿಗೆ ಇಲಾಖೆಯಿಂದ ನಿರ್ಬಂಧವಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಬೇರೆ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳಿಂದ ಬರುವವರಿಗೆ ಕ್ವಾರಂಟೈನ್ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ.

“I find fewer officers on the field,” he said, pointing out that there was too much burden on the two teams involved in the collection of throat swabs in the city.

Asking people not to be frightened if they test positive, Mr. Khader said most of them would recover after getting treatment in 15 days at the hospital. He asked the State government to arrange isolation facilities for asymptomatic positive persons who do not have space in their homes to follow home isolation.

I wish local TV/Radio channels, news media popularize practices to be followed for home treatment. Interviews with already recovered people who have undergone treatment at home are very useful (does not matter whether Indian or foreign). I think a few of gadgets like electric kettle, steam inhalers (vaporizers), pulse oximeter (http://epaper.udayavani.com/EditionPage/EPpage.php?edn=Manipal&isid=UVANI_SSMG_20200705#Page/3) 2 (https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/jul/04/karnataka-doctors-suggest-use-of-pulse-oximeter-chest-x-ray-for-early-covid-19-detection-in-clusters-2165454.html) are a must - My Covid-19 Experience | How I fought with Corona Virus || Neelima Gupta (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWanNYm5I5Q) - but better if doctors are interviewed. People should also be trained on how to dispose hazardous waste.

Whether any locally made steam inhalers available in Mangaluru?

At the same time, it is said that some hospitals do not provide copies of the reports, and during the 14 days of isolation, no medicine is being dispensed to patients.

Some improvement is number of samples collected and also number of samples tested on 07-07-2020. But again back to inertia again.

Any startup working on full automation of testing lab?

Whether this type of dashboard is available for rest of Tulunadu like Kasaragod - Kerala Dashboard (https://dashboard.kerala.gov.in/hotspots.php)? Look at the map showing all hot spots. Displaying additional details like 'lockdown starting day', 'how many days the area was under lockdown', 'how many people are infected' etc when you click on a hotspot is also useful. Of course all other details like active, death, recovered, samples collected also can be displayed.

Compared to Kerala portal Karnataka's Silicon City portal looks so dull - COVID-19 INFORMATION PORTAL (https://covid19.karnataka.gov.in/covid-dashboard/dashboard.html), COVID-19 Karnataka War Room (http://covid19dashboard.karnataka.gov.in/).

Kerala's internal transmission is just 11.89% of total cases - Spread of COVID-19 in Kerala (https://dashboard.kerala.gov.in/testing-view-public.php).

Why DK created this useless website Dakshina Kannada District COVID-19 Dashboard (https://dk-coronavirus-response-quadperspective.hub.arcgis.com/) if unable to update it daily? What was the date of last update?

When we visit a private hospital the persons sitting at reception ask so many questions on symptoms and other things, fine. But why should they ask questions like whether you are staying in a sealed down area, quarantines in neighbourhood etc? Can't they just note down our address and find through an online software app (using artificial intelligence?) about those details in the age of unknown neighbourhood? That would be useful to everyone to help themselves from unneccessarily catching the virus. I came to know that in many other countries the government even publish picture of quarantinees to create awareness.

I think asymptomatic secondary/tertiary contacts & returnees can be pool tested if not others. Has anyone come up with optimized testing strategy algorithm depending upon type of contacts, type of symptoms and number of samples of different types? What type of algorithm is useful for searching positive cases in a pool which is tested positive (also what should be optimum pool size under existing circumstances)?

With 50% of rapid antigen test kits reserved for the parched city (50,000 kits for 84 lakh population x 50,000 kits for remaining 5.6 crore population of Karnataka) the lockdown in other cities/districts will be just 'Kaataachaara'. Unless Dakshina Kannada can test around 2000 samples per day with rapid antigen test kits lockdown is just a hindrance for economic health (DK got only 3500 kits; hope this type of kit will be available in market soon - A portable, reusable test for COVID-19 (https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-portable-reusable-covid-.html) 2 (https://globalbiodefense.com/2020/05/07/national-science-foundation-backs-rapid-development-of-portable-saliva-based-covid-19-test/)). I think negative cases of rapid antigen test has to be confirmed true negative by RT-PCR tests 1 (https://www.firstpost.com/health/covid-19-testing-how-antibody-antigen-rt-pcr-truenat-tests-differ-their-strengths-and-limitations-8548691.html) so that RT-PCR testing ability should also be more than 500 tests per day. It would be interesting to explore more about combined testing strategy which may produce optimized results.

Another factor deciding success of lockdown is enough Covid-19 beds and non-shared quarantine rooms/toilets.

Unless we can detect and isolate 95%-100% of Covid-19 positive cases lockdown is useless.

She said that 413 containment zones had been notified in the district after the reporting of positive cases. Asha workers visit these areas daily. 10 ambulances were kept for Covid-19 patients and five more ambulances will be purchased shortly.


Whether the map is available online? How many of containment zones are active now? All 413?


Antigen kits
Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said that antigen kits had reached the district. It will be tested on suspected cases and international passengers. Those asymptomatic Covid-19 patients who are undergoing treatment at home isolation are monitored through app and officials of the call centre set up at Command Control Centre of Smart City will call them every day and collect details about their health conditions. If they develop any complications, then they are shifted to the hospital immediately, she added.


Antigen tests soon in Dakshina Kannada (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mangaluru/antigen-tests-soon-in-dakshina-kannada-861285.html)

Dakshina Kannada district has received 3,500 antigen kits and the rapid antigen tests for Covid-19 will be conducted shortly.

...

The antigen test will be conducted for emergency cases like delivery, surgery, persons with severe symptoms of Covid, multi-organ failure patients and for those whose condition is critical.

"If a symptomatic patient is tested negative for Covid-19, the person's throat swab sample will be sent for lab testing.

We don't have correct figures of active and discharged cases on 12-07-2020. Is it active=1402; deaths=46; discharged=782?

Wonder how reports for so many samples are generated without any delay when testing a sample itself takes at least 3 hours? (There will be transportation and other delays). But number of samples collected are far too lower than neccessary.

NITK opens Central Research Facility (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/nitk-opens-central-research-facility/article30917090.ece)

The institute is the first to use funds from Higher Education Finance Agency for the purpose

National Institute of Technology-Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, here on Tuesday started operations of a Central Research Facility that provides modern research opportunities for its students and those from about 85 educational institutions in the region. NITK is the first NIT in the country to use funds from Higher Education Finance Agency (HEFA) to set up a research facility. This research facility was among a few that were inaugurated by Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal on Tuesday.

The facility’s convener Uday Bhat said that the centre will provide students from the region modern equipment to help carry out research in physics, chemistry and other branches. Modern tools are necessary for quality research that meet the standards required world-over. The HEFA of the Union government has granted ₹ 80 crore for the purpose.

While some of the equipment procured are from the U.K., the U.S. and Germany, there are a few equipment that have been sourced from within the country. “We have installed three equipment. We are getting the remaining shortly,” Mr. Bhat said. Services at the centre can be availed of by paying a nominal fee, he said. The new facility will have Intellectual Property Rights Cell and Technology Transfer Cell. Besides an office for industrial consultancy and sponsored research, the facility will have space for major industrial bodies to set up laboratories with cutting-edge technologies. All these will come up in the new three-floor building being constructed at a cost of ₹ 47.99 crore, Mr. Bhat said.

NITK Director K. Umamaheshwara Rao urged Mr. Pokhriyal to sanction ₹ 700 crore to convert the new research facility into a National Research Institute. While stating that his Ministry will take action to release pending grants from HEFA, Mr. Pokhriyal said that the Human Resource Development Ministry will fully back the NITK’s development initiatives.

For example, we can try to evaluate out exercise value of Yakshagana and introduce more yogic postures into it to make it a more health friendly art form.

We have spent around Rs 4 crore so far, all received in donations in the form of cash, cement, steel, construction material, furniture and computers. Not a single rupee has come from the government," he said. "The government has improved infrastructure and offers free education with modern learning facilities. We charge a minimal fee only for transportation." The school has four buses and will get another soon.

The College of Fisheries will further develop and modernise its aquaculture farm spread over 22 acres on its premises at Yekkur here using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The Union government has released ₹ 7.9 crore for the project under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, according to Professor and Dean of the college A. Senthil Vel.

Speaking to The Hindu on the occasion of the college celebrating its golden jubilee now, Mr. Vel said that the college will have a tie-up with the National Institute of Technology-Karnataka (NITK) at Surathkal for introducing AI technology in aquaculture. The private sector has applied AI technology in aquaculture in a small way. But it has been rarely tried out in the government sector.

“It will be a first-of-its-kind collaboration in the country where a premier engineering institute will have a tie-up with the fisheries sector,” he said.

The use of AI technology will help reduce manpower to manage the aquaculture farm. “We will have quality check at every stage,” he said and added that the use of AI will be like an automation in managing the farm.

He said that all types of fresh water fish, crabs, molluscs, ornamental fish, aqua phonics and plants will be developed and conserved in the demonstration plots in the farm. Endangered species will be developed, conserved and handed over to the forest wildlife section.

Mr. Vel said that the college will also take up an aquamarine project, which is an advanced centre for aquatic biotechnology, with ₹ 5 crore allocation by the State government’s Department of Information Technology and Biotechnology. One of the activities under this project would cover formulating different fish feed for different varieties of fish for each life stage.

“We will try to use all the agro-based products such as bagasse, paddy waste and leaves so that the cost of the feed comes down significantly,” he said.

In addition, the college will set up a skill development centre under Mangaluru Smart City Mission at an estimated cost of ₹ 4.9 crore which is a grant from the Union government, he said.

Under this project, an old building at Hoige Bazaar will be demolished and a new three-storey building will be built for imparting skills to youth and others in post-harvest technology and handling of fish. In addition, they will be taught making pickle and sausage and link them to the financial institutions to get loans for manufacturing the products.

He said that Minister for Fisheries, Ports and Inland Water Transport Kota Srinivasa Poojary and Member of Parliament Nalin Kumar Kateel have helped the college get grants for the proposed projects.

Human Resource and Skill Requirement Study for 21 Coastal Districts of India: Dakshin Kannada & Udupi (http://sagarmala.gov.in/sites/default/files/Karnataka_Final_Report_18_July.pdf)

When will the government construct an Infrastructure and Port Management Institute similar to "Adani Institute of Infrastructure Management" (identified in the document above) in Tulunadu? The document also identifies needs for training in Smart City, Construction, Port & Maritime, Tourism & Hospitality, Sustainable Fishing and Safety, IT-ITES, Aviation. I think need for fishing skill development centre is adderessed under smart city project. I don't know why people are so fond of aviation; how many jobs are there in this sector? Udupi has identified many more reasonable training requirements.

Good that a war room is set up at Roshni Nilaya now to trace contacts. Unless you improve contact tracing process you can not control transmission.

Quarantine Efficiency is absurd now (when was it not absurd?). But I may either track the absurd one to see whether it will improve in future or drop it & stop tracking all together or %^&^&.

Mangaluru (DK?) has also transmitted in total about 50 infectees (positive cases) to Udupi & Kasaragod.

If we had known how many of rapid antigen testing were conducted and how many of them were reported positive by rapid antigen test itself then we could have also tracked accuracy of rapid antigen testing against RT-PCR.

If we see overall performance then a total of 5037 tests were conducted at an average of 720 per day during lockdown week. Very poor performance against 2000 per day I said earlier. But we don't know whether the listed samples includes rapid antigen tests also or just samples sent for RT-PCR test after rapid antigen test turned negative. In the later case, at the maximum we can add another 200 samples per day to make it 920 samples per day almost half of my target of 2000 per day.

The transparency about 'samples awaiting to be tested' is missing. Only on 15th they reported correctly about 'total number of samples sent for testing' and on other days they either didn't track the data or didn't disclose it.

People are shifted to safe places in the event of natural disaster. But there is no permanent arrangement to accommodate such people here.


Build these buildings suitable for all types of disasters including biocrisis quarantine needs i.e., having rooms with unshared bathrooms/toilets. We should be able to use them as hospitals on need. That is multicrisis, multipurpose buildings.

But the advertisements on news papers were filled with achivements & future projects for the parched city only. Wonder whether it was published intentionally to make others feel jealous.

Ms. Anita Kumari, Ms. Vinoda Kumari and Mr. Rajesh Nellyady are among those teachers in Dakshina Kannada who are trying to implement the concept of “Vatara Shaale” (neighbourhood school) wherein teachers go to the houses of students and teach them, while adhering to social distancing and other safety norms.

“Students eagerly wait for these sessions, held outside classrooms, on topics they are interested in,” Mr. Nellyady said and added that these activities are designed in such a way that children learn as they play.

“It is more like the integrated learning that is followed under the Nali-Kali system (play and learn mode of teaching for Classes 1 to 5),” he said.

Among the activities that the children are involved in include story-telling, story building, recitation of poems, singing mathematical tables, yoga, craft, drawing, collage-making and dictionary-reading.

Wonder how sarees protect from mosquitos! (All sarees in the picture seems to be new ones). Are they following social distance norms while assembling inside tents? What we may need is a individual tent with mosquito net which passes in light but protect at top from rain costing around Rs. 1000. Should also allow combined study sitting at allowed distance in individual tents. When will India have good network available to everyone?

DC order to increase containment zone range (epaper.udayavani.com/ArticlePage/APpage.php?edn=Manipal&articleid=UVANI_MAN_20200725_7_12&artwidth=218px)

Summa: Except infectees' houses Udupi officials were not sealing down office, appartment, shops of infectees. Locals were not informed. These were the reasons for increased Covid-19 cases. So far in Udupi 1315 containment zones were declared and 490 containment zones are active now. Containment zone information is reaching locals were late. As per government order three more incident commanders will be appointed in addition to Kundapur subdivision officer who is currently is the single incident commander.

As I posted earlier let us computerize sealing down operations as much as positive. As soon as virologist enters report as positive in computer the information of containment zone has to be generated (ideally automatically) and locals should be alerted through phones (I think voice/flash message can be sent to both landlinephones/mobilephones in containment zone automatically). I think this would be good project for a software startup.

Whether this type of dashboard is available for rest of Tulunadu like Kasaragod - Kerala Dashboard (https://dashboard.kerala.gov.in/hotspots.php)? Look at the map showing all hot spots. Displaying additional details like 'lockdown starting day', 'how many days the area was under lockdown', 'how many people are infected' etc when you click on a hotspot is also useful. Of course all other details like active, death, recovered, samples collected also can be displayed.

Tracking the pandemic in Karnataka: Are we counting the right numbers? (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/covid-19-are-we-counting-the-right-numbers/articleshow/77177086.cms)

We need to now move beyond absolute numbers and track metrics like Test Positivity Rate (TPR), Case Fatality Rate (CFR), Patient Recovery Rate (PRR) and Doubling Rate (DR).


Include above metrics as KPIs in the dashboard. (Please ignore experimental absurd metrics I am tracking here. I wanted to separate out quarantine efficiency from surveillance efficiency so was using different formulae than TPR & DR. Forget.). We want other data like samples collected, tested, deaths, recoveries etc also on dashboard along with these KPIs. If want to come up with alternative formulae then we should declare them as an experimental metrics in addition to above KPIs.

What type of War Room infrastructure (crisis management infrastructure) is there in Udupi?

Covid-19 likely to subside by December: Dr Kakkilaya (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mangaluru/covid-19-likely-to-subside-by-december-dr-kakkilaya-873531.html)

"..., the donors are rushing to Bengaluru. The state government has given permission to collect plasma to only a few hospitals of Bengaluru," said Qasim Ahmed.

‘Aim to reduce coronavirus infection rate to 5%’ - DC G Jagadeesha (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=741422)

The DC further said, "In the beginning we used to get 100 people infected, when we used to conduct test on 500 people. Now we have increased the numbers to 2,500 so the number of infected people is more in that context. We have increased the number of tests in order to break the chain of infection.

"The positive cases which was 25% last month is reduced to 10% now. Our aim is to bring it further down to 5%. Cooperation of public is needed for the same.


2369 samples collected on 14-08-2020 is the maximum number of samples collected on a day so far.

Whether 'issue cases rate' (i.e. unknown contact cases rate - a leading indicator of infection rate) are increasing or decreasing? Shouldn't it also indicate the same rate of reduction? As per my observation, though not calculated, 'issue cases rate' (issue cases divided by number of samples tested) is not falling in a steady rate.

Is this effect of 'issue cases' & sampling rate not in proportion to reported positive cases? Why are people not giving their contacts?

What should be the criteria for closing a office? They could have closed offices which are at lesser distances (and generating lesser income) to each other than offices at far off distances generating more income. Why the parched city needs so many IT offices? Why instead of closing extra IT offices there and its shadow city (which is anyway earning less than Mangaluru office) they are closing Mangaluru office which is far away? Why should the IT offices in the parched city should serve so many districts even far away from it?

Coastal districts buck the trend

In a marked departure, Covid-19 has not penetrated much in rural areas of the coastal region. Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts have been witnessing a surge in Covid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic, but the rural areas and small towns of the region have not been affected much and it is mostly the district headquarters of Mangaluru and Udupi which are badly hit.

Over 70 per cent of the cases reported so far in Dakshina Kannada are from Mangaluru city. Of the 12,100-odd cases reported so far, 8,500 cases are from Mangaluru, 2,000 from Bantwal, 500 from Belthangady, 750 from Puttur and 200 from Sullia. Sources in the health department said the rural parts in the coastal region are not affected much because of the widely dispersed villages where human-to-human contact is minimum, unlike in other parts of the state that have nucleated villages with houses located close to each other.

Rapid antigen tests too are being carried out, while action has been taken to procure an additional 60,000 rapid antigen testing kits. As many as 51 mobile testing units are being put to optimal use, of which 30 are functioning in Mangaluru, where COVID-19 cases are high.

No doubt! The state government ensured that DK will get everything delayed whether it is testing lab or plasma therpay facility. Don't worry, in future, vaccine delivery will also be delayed. Check which places have been given priority for BCG vaccination in the state!

Is it possible to find out all cases and isolate them before opening up schools? Monsoon season is over but winter is starting. Winter may help SARS-Cov-2. But the concentrated full effort now can flaten Covid-19 curve completely. I think this can be done without lockdown.

ಗರಿಗೆದರಿದ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಗ್ರಾಮಾಂತರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ಕನಸು - ರಾಜ್ಯ ಮುಂಗಡ ಪತ್ರ ಮಂಡನೆಗೆ ದಿನಗಣನೆ; ಒತ್ತಡ ಹೇರುವುದು ಅಗತ್ಯ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karavali-edition/karavali/karavali-puttur-belthangady/pattur-rural-district-is-a-dream)

ಪುತ್ತೂರು: ರಾಜ್ಯ ಮುಂಗಡ ಪತ್ರ ಮಂಡನೆಗೆ ದಿನಗಣನೆ ಆರಂಭಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಗ್ರಾಮಾಂತರ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಘೋಷಣೆ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಒತ್ತಡ ಹೇರುವ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿದೆ. ಹಲವು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರವಾಗಬೇಕು ಎಂಬ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಮುಂದಿನ ಮೂರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲದರೂ ಸ್ಪಂದನೆಯ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಹೊಂದಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಸ್ವತಃ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಚುನಾವಣೆ ಸಂದರ್ಭ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ರೂಪಿಸುವ ಭರವಸೆ ನೀಡಿ ರುವುದು ಈ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಕ್ಕೆ ಪುಷ್ಟಿ ನೀಡಿದೆ.

ಹೈಟೆಕ್ ಬಸ್ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ, ಕೆಎಸ್ಆರ್ಟಿಸಿ ವಿಭಾಗೀಯ ಕೇಂದ್ರ, ಮಹಿಳಾ ಠಾಣೆ, ಮಹಿಳಾ ಕಾಲೇಜು, ಮಿನಿ ವಿಧಾನಸೌಧ, ನಗರಸಭೆ, ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯ ಕಟ್ಟಡ, ಸರಕಾರಿ ಮೆಡಿಕಲ್ ಕಾಲೇಜಿಗೆ 40 ಎಕರೆ ಸ್ಥಳ ಮೀಸಲು, ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ತರಬೇತಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಪೂರಕವಾಗಿವೆ.

ಅರ್ಹತೆ ಏನು?

ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ರಚಿಸಲಾದ ರಾಮನಗರ ಮತ್ತು ಚಿಕ್ಕಬಳ್ಳಾಪುರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಿಂತ ಅಧಿಕ ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ, ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಇರುವ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಸಂಗತಿ. ರಾಮನಗರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಒಟ್ಟು ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ 3,575.58 ಚದರ ಮೀ., ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆ 10.5 ಲಕ್ಷ ಇದೆ. ಚಿಕ್ಕಾಬಳ್ಳಾಪುರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ 10 ಲಕ್ಷ ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಮತ್ತು 4,100 ಚದರ ಮೀಟರ್ ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. 2011ರ ಜನಗಣತಿ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಗೆ ಸೇರಬಹುದಾದ ಐದು ತಾಲೂಕುಗಳ ಒಟ್ಟು ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆ 10.15 ಲಕ್ಷ ಇದೆ. 3,979 ಚದರ ಮೀ. ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಈ ಅಂಕಿ-ಅಂಶವನ್ನು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿದರೆ, ರಾಮನಗರ ಮತ್ತು ಚಿಕ್ಕಬಳ್ಳಾಪುರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ ಮತ್ತು ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗಿಂತ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಿತ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ದೊಡ್ಡದಿದೆ. ಪುತ್ತೂರು ತಾಲೂಕನ್ನು ಆವರಿಸಿರುವ ಸುಳ್ಯ, ಕಡಬ, ಬೆಳ್ತಂಗಡಿ, ಬಂಟ್ವಾಳವನ್ನು ಸೇರಿಸಿ ಪುತ್ತೂರನ್ನು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರವನ್ನಾಗಿ ರೂಪಿಸಬಹುದು.

ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ
ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ರಚನೆ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ಘೋಷಣೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ಕಡಿಮೆ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಬದಲಾಗಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕಿರುವ ಮೂಲಸೌಕರ್ಯ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಲು ಆದ್ಯತೆ ನೀಡಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಮುಂದೆ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಇದು ಪೂರಕ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ. ಪುತ್ತೂರಿಗೆ ಎಸ್ಪಿ ಕಚೇರಿ ಸ್ಥಳಾಂತರ ಮೊದಲಾದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಕುಳಾಯಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಮೀನುಗಾರಿಕೆ ಬಂದರು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಈ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ರಫ್ತು ವಹಿವಾಟು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಆಧುನಿಕ ಕರಾವಳಿ ಮೀನು ರಫ್ತು ಸ್ಥಾವರವನ್ನು ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರದ ಸಾಗರಮಾಲಾ ಯೋಜನೆಯಡಿ ಹಾಗೂ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರಕಾರದ ಸಹಭಾಗಿತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ 12.50 ಕೋ.ರೂ. ವೆಚ್ಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಘೋಷಿಸಿಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು-ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ರೈಲು ವೇಗ ಉದ್ದೇಶ
ಹಾಸನ-ಮಂಗಳೂರು ರೈಲ್ ಡೆವೆಲಪ್ಮೆಂಟ್ ಕಾರ್ಪೊರೇಷನ್ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯು 2020-21ನೇ ಸಾಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸಕಲೇಶಪುರ, ಸುಬ್ರಹ್ಮಣ್ಯ ಲ್ದಾಣಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ಘಾಟಿ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಕ್ಷಮತೆಯನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಇದರಿಂದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು-ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ನಡುವಿನ ರೈಲುಗಳ ವೇಗ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವುದಲ್ಲದೆ, ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿ ರೈಲು ಸೇವೆ ಆರಂಭಿಸಲು ನೆರವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಯಾವ ಯೋಜನೆ ಎಂಬುದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟತೆಯಿಲ್ಲ!

ಪಶ್ಚಿಮವಾಹಿನಿಗೆ ಒತ್ತು
ಕರಾವಳಿ ಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಶ್ಚಿಮಘಟ್ಟದ ನದಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡಲಾಗಿ ಕಿಂಡಿ ಅಣೆಕಟ್ಟು ಯೋಜನೆಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯಾಪಕವಾಗಿ ಅನುಷ್ಠನಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಕುರಿತು ಮಾಸ್ಟರ್ ಪ್ಲಾನ್ ಸಿದ್ಧಪಡಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಅಡಿಕೆ ಬೆಳೆಗಾರರ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ದೀರ್ಘಾವಧಿ ಕೃಷಿ ಸಾಲದ ಪೈಕಿ ಗರಿಷ್ಠ 2 ಲಕ್ಷ ರೂ.ವರೆಗಿನ ಸಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ಶೇ.5 ಬಡ್ಡಿ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿ, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಹಿತ ರಾಜ್ಯದ 10 ಮಹಾನಗರ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯ ಕೊಳಚೆ ಪ್ರದೇಶ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಲು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಗಳೇನಿತ್ತು?
ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳ ವಿಶೇಷ ಅನುದಾನ, ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳ ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹ, ಕೈಗಾರಿಕಾ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಏರ್ಪೋರ್ಟ್ನ ವಿಮಾನಗಳಿಗೆ ವಿಧಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ಎಟಿಎಫ್ ವ್ಯಾಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿ, 3ನೇ ಹಂತದ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೆ ಅನುದಾನ, ತುಂಬೆ ವೆಂಟೆಡ್ ಡ್ಯಾಂನಲ್ಲಿ 7 ಮೀಟರ್ ನೀರು ನಿಲುಗಡೆಗೆ ಅನುದಾನ, ಮಂದಾರ ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ನಿರ್ವಸಿತರಿಗೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ, ಮೂಲ ಸೌಕರ್ಯ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಅನುದಾನದ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ಇದಾವುದೂ ಈ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. ಜತೆಗೆ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ಘೋಷಣೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ಹಳೆ ಬಂದರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೋಸ್ಟಲ್ ಬರ್ತ್ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ, ನದಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಆಯ್ದಕಡೆ ಬೋಟ್ಹೌಸ್ಗಳು, ಸರಕಾರಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸೂಪರ್ಸ್ಪೆಷಾಲಿಟಿ ಆಗಿ ಉನ್ನತೀಕರಣ, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸಹಿತ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಕೆಲವು ಕಡೆ ಡಿಜಿಟಲ್ ಸ್ತನರೇಖನ (ಮ್ಯಾಮೋಗ್ರಾಮ್) ಹಾಗೂ ಪಾಪ್ಸ್ಮಿಯರ್ ಸ್ಕ್ಯಾನಿಂಗ್, ಕೊಣಾಜೆ – ಮಣಿಪಾಲ ನಾಲೆಡ್ಜ್-ಹೆಲ್ತ್ ಕಾರಿಡಾರ್, ಕೊಣಾಜೆ -ಮಣಿಪಾಲ ನಾಲೆಡ್ಜ್-ಹೆಲ್ತ್ ಕಾರಿಡಾರ್ ಯೋಜನೆ ಬಗ್ಗೆಯೂ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವಿಲ್ಲ.

ಹಳಿಯೇರದ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ, ಮೋನೋ ರೈಲು!
2018ರಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಮಾರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ವೇಳೆ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಮಾದರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪೂರ್ವಕಾರ್ಯಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ವರದಿ ತಯಾರಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಈ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವನ್ನೇ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ನಗರಕ್ಕೆ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ಕನಸು ಸದ್ಯ ಕಾರ್ಯರೂಪಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಯಿಲ್ಲ. ಜತೆಗೆ, 2008ರಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಸರಕಾರದ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದ ಮೋನೋ ರೈಲು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯೂ ಈಗ ಹಳ್ಳಸೇರಿದೆ.

ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ-ಗುರುಪುರ: ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗ
ದ.ಕ. ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ವಿಪುಲ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳಿವೆ. ಸಾಗರ, ಹಿನ್ನೀರು ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ, ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ, ಹೆಲ್ತ್ ಟೂರಿಸಂನಲ್ಲೂ ಅವಕಾಶವಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಇದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಗಮನ ನೀಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ಘೋಷಣೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖೀಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರದ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಒಳನಾಡು ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಾಧಿಕಾರ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯ ಸಹಭಾಗಿತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ನದಿಗಳಾದ ಗುರುಪುರ, ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನು, ದ್ವೀಪಗಳನ್ನು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಿ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತೇಜನ ನೀಡಲು ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮ ರೂಪಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದು ಉಲ್ಲೇಖೀಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ಕೃಷ್ಟತ ಕೇಂದ್ರ
ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸಹಿತ ಹಲವೆಡೆ ಸರಕಾರಿ ಉಪಕರಣಾಗಾರ ಮತ್ತು ತರಬೇತಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 353 ಕೋ.ರೂ. ವೆಚ್ಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ಕೃಷ್ಟತ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಇದರಿಂದ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕಾ ಉದ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳ ಉನ್ನತ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಡೊಮೈನ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕೌಶಲ ತರಬೇತಿ ನೀಡುವುದರ ಮೂಲಕ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಯುವಜನತೆಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗವಕಾಶ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಮುಂದಿನ 5 ವರ್ಷಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 12,600 ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ನಿಯುಕ್ತಿಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಗುರಿ ಇರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.


The government just want to collect tax from Mangaluru to develop the parched city and the surrounding region. All research & innovation funds have gone to the parched city. None of promised Hardware, Advanced Manufacturing, Health, Automotive, Defense, Textile or Pharmacy Parks are sanctioned to Mangaluru. Another such neglected region is Kodagu (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mangaluru/no-special-package-announced-for-kodagu-in-karnataka-budget-congress-jds-810962.html). The ruling party is just using Tulunadu as vote bank. Suppose all MLAs of the party from these districts resign will the government survive? Why do we need these useless MLAs if they can not demand for funds for the region? Digustingly they are busy defending the state budget! Evrything in it! IF they defended policies it was fine. But why not they talk against Yettinahole allocation? Why not they talk against not allocating any of research & innovation institute or industrial cluster for Mangaluru? Who elected these shameless MLAs? If Tulunadu was a separate state the region would have developed faster with the kind of revenue it is generating.

Look at the MP changing his stand - MP Nalin Kumar Kateel does a U-turn, expresses support for Yettinahole project (https://www.udayavani.com/english-news/mp-nalin-kumar-kateel-does-a-u-turn-expresses-support-for-yettinahole-project). What happened to his Coconut Park? How it went to Tumakur?

Sri Rajarajeshwari temple located near the Mundapalla was once a royal temple of the Tulu-speaking Toulava Kings of Kumble region (seeme), according to the legend.

The then Tulunadu historically comprised the present Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Kasargod districts of Kerala state. The entire Tulunadu was ruled by kings and chieftains with Barkur, Mangaluru and Kumble as their capitals.

During Vijayanagar and later under Keladi dynasty, the Rajarajeshwari temple was the family deity of Kumble kings of Tenkana Tulunadu or Southern Tulunadu.

According to history, Kumble royal family had built their palace in Kanchikatte in Kumble and the kings used to offer pujas at the temple. The kings also used to hold open Darbars under a Banyan tree and thus the place derives its name as ‘Darbarkatte'.

Work on Abbakka Bhavan expected to begin this year (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/work-on-abbakka-bhavan-expected-to-begin-this-year/article30966547.ece)

The bhavan is estimated to cost ₹8 crore. According to Kota Srinivasa Poojary, Minister in charge of Dakshina Kannada, the work will start shortly.

The three-storey bhavan will come up on about 0.4 acres of land, which includes the 20 cents of land originally earmarked for the construction of Gadi Bhavan for cultural activities in border areas.

The bhavan will have an auditorium to accommodate about 1,000 persons on the upper ground floor, while parking for vehicles will be in the basement. The lower ground floor will have a dining hall. A small auditorium and Abbakka Museum have been proposed on the first floor.

Birders seek development of Manna Palla Lake as mini-bird sanctuary (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/birders-seek-development-of-manna-palla-lake-as-mini-bird-sanctuary/article31139730.ece)

‘Of 282 species spotted around Manipal, 118 were at the lake in the last 10 years’

This lake is located in about 100 acres of land in Manipal and about 60 acres are filled with water and the rest has trees and shrubs. The water of the lake is sourced from natural springs. A small half-acre man-made islet amidst the lake with birds chirping on its trees adds to its beauty. There is a two-km walking track around the lake and there are also plans to construct a bicycle track.

The Manipal Birders organisation has been spotting birds in and around Manipal. It has spotted various birds including Little Grebe, Rock Pigeon, Greater Coucal, Asian Koel, Little Ringed Plover, Common Green Shank, Asian Openbill, Little Cormorant, Black Drongo, Purple Heron, Asian Brown Flycatcher and Barn Owl.

“We are planning to plant native and fruit bearing trees to attract more birds. There are some patches with acacia trees. These can be cleared and native and fruit bearing trees can be grown in these places. But it would take three years for these trees to grow and it may take five to six years for a sanctuary to come up,” he said.

Arun Kumar, project director of Nirmiti Kendra, which has taken up various projects at the lake, said that there was space for constructing watch towers to watch the birds. “If need be, another small artificial islet can be constructed in the lake for the birds to roost. The lake can be developed as a small bird sanctuary,” he said.


Third in tourism revenue generation, Karnataka misses out on central benefits (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/third-in-tourism-revenue-generation-ktaka-misses-out-on-central-benefits/articleshow/74938792.cms)

A prime example of this was the state’s initial proposal to promote the coastal tourism circuit, as part of which it had identified destinations in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts. But the project implementation failed to take off. The Centre had allocated Rs 100 crore for the purpose and released Rs 18 crore.

“For almost two years, the project faced a technical issue. While the DPR was prepared by a private agency hired by the previous governments, there was a huge mismatch between the project report and the ground reality. Finally, the government decided to shut it down and sought for a change in use. The Centre denied it and Karnataka lost out,” said tourism minister CT Ravi, adding that the government even sent back the released amount back to the Centre.

Today, Karnataka has sent three more proposals to the Centre for developing three major tourism circuits: One surrounding Jog Falls in Shivamogga and including Chitradurga and Davanagere districts, the coastal circuit of DK, Udupi and UK and the Hampi circuit.

The survey is proposed to be carried out in the sea between Mulky and Ullal and `1 crore has been sought for the exercise.

If there are positive results, then it may lead to conservation initiatives like regulation on fishing, container movement in that area, besides measures to check pollution.

Five more beaches from state for Blue Flag certification (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=761867)

Mangaluru, Oct 16: A team of experts formed by the Central government to make necessary preparations for identifying and getting the international Blue Flag tags (https://www.surfertoday.com/environment/what-is-the-blue-flag) for the beaches, have chosen five beaches of the state including Dakshina Kannada beaches, Tannirbavi and Iddya near Suratkal, among others. They will be prepared for the Blue Flag recognition in the second phase.

Once all the infrastructure is developed, these beaches will apply for the Blue Flag recognition. Talapady seashore has lost out in the race because of the sea erosion that is rampant there. The experts have also visited Bengre and Panambur beaches to assess their chances in the second phase.

The department concerned has identified 104 beaches in Karnataka coast. Out of them, 16 have been recommended as high-quality centres. The ministry of environment, forest and climate change of the Central government and National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management have deputed these experts. After applying rigid yardsticks, these experts have finally chosen beaches for the second round.

The other beaches under consideration are Malpe, Om, Nirvana, Apsarakonda, Kudle, Ravindranath Tagore, Gokarna, Murudeshwar, Devabagh, Padukere, Paduvari, Someshwar, Talapady, Harvada and Majali.


Why Sasihithlu beach is not mentioned? Is sea erosion the reason? Shouldn't a beach chosen for promotion as international surfing beach have such a certification? Is there a plan to hoist any other safety flag (https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/the-complete-list-of-beach-flags-and-warning-signals) in Sasihitlu and other beaches?

The Coast Guard has its air enclave in Bajpe. But there is no hangar to park Dornier aircraft permanently and also to have technical maintenance facilities. It required about 4.25 acres.

“A dedicated aerial surveillance from the Coast Guard’s air enclave in Mangaluru would enhance and meet the long-felt need for air surveillance of the exclusive economic zone, as well as search and rescue operation and medical evacuation, humanitarian missions in the State and in the waters adjoining the coast of Karnataka. It will also ensure prompt air-sea coordinated patrol,” he said.

With the proposed tunnel road nowhere in sight, the industrial sector of Mangaluru and coastal region feels that bringing Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) under UDAN scheme is the only option to boost the service industry and the regional economy.

Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) president Issac Vas has urged Centre and state governments to bring Mangalore International Airport (MIA) under UDAN to connect with tier-II cities like Belagavi, Hubballi and Kalaburagi.

With good hospitals, educational institutions, Mangalore port, beaches and temples in the coastal region, there is a huge potential for regional air-connectivity from MIA.

Vasudeva Rao, former director, MIA, said the airport has facilities to operate short haul flights and would be profitable for operators to keep the fare reasonable. “If the fare is Rs 4,000-Rs 6,000 nobody will go for it. If it is Rs 2,000-2,500, people will definitely go for it,” he said.

How the traffic flows

While airlines add flights and frequencies to New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai, not all traffic originates or terminates at these places. Amritsar, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Indore, Mangalore, Kochi, Vizag and many more cities feed into the nearest metro for flights to Europe and N. America. What does this indicate? There is a market for interline agreements and codeshares with airlines from India.

Vistara has taken a lead here with an interline agreement with 26 airlines and codeshare with six, an impressive number for an airline as young as Vistara. The other airline which is ready for codeshare is Air India, but there are obvious challenges.

Class of service

One obvious challenge for LCCs is the class of service. How does one treat a business class passenger of, say American Airlines, on a flight from Bengaluru to Mangalore in an ATR? While this challenge exists, this isn’t new and both airlines and passengers have partially warmed up to this expected drop in hard product for some part of the journey. IndiGo-Turkish codeshare and Spicejet-Emirates codeshare are examples of customers potentially opting for convenience over service.

Mangaluru airport grows in spite of air crash a decade ago (https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/mangaluru-airport-grows-in-spite-of-air-crash-a-decade-ago/article32304505.ece#)

Work on the construction of second phase of parallel taxiway is going on in full swing, he said.

The phase-1 commissioning of the parallel taxi track has increased the runway handling capacity from 10 flights per hour to 14 flights per hour. The capacity will be increased to 17 flights per hour after the completion of the phase-2.

He said that AAI has also taken up the work on the expansion of terminal building along with a facelift to the existing terminal building. The expansion will help the airport handle an additional 1 million passengers a year.

Vas said the airport has also taken up expansion of apron at the airport. Aircraft parking bays have been increased from 10 to 15 now.


Mangaluru airport takes up massive upgradation of safety, landing facilities (https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/mangaluru-airport-takes-up-massive-upgradation-of-safety-landing-facilities/article32304676.ece)

Court of Inquiry, headed by BN Gokhale, former Vice-Chief of Air Staff, Indian Air Force, had recommended the need for the improvement of RESA (runway-end safety area) at Mangaluru airport. Vasudeva said RESA of 240 metres have been provided on both the sides at Mangaluru. (RESA is the the surface surrounding the runway suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot or overshoot)

Vas said the provision of 240 metres x 90 metres of RESA on both ends of runway is more than the mandatory requirement of 90 metres x 90 metres.

Apart from this, zero slope with sand bed has been provided on RESA surface to de-accelerate overshooting aircrafts, he said.

The Court of Inquiry had stated that the ILS (instrument landing system) localiser antenna was mounted on a concrete structure at Mangaluru above the runway safety area.

Vasudeva said the airport had embedded localisers in the earth as recommended in the report.

He said the airport had also installed DTGM (distance to go marker) on runway shoulders as recommended by the Court of Inquiry. The Court of Inquiry had felt that the use of DTGM could help the pilots to ascertain critical distances as it acts as a visual reference to ascertain the remaining distance.

Vas said that the runway side safety basic strip width has been increased from 75 metres to 150 metres on a length of 1,440 metres on south side of runway. For remaining portion, AAI has asked the State government to hand over land.

On north side of runway, the work of entire length for widening of runway side basic strip has been taken up. Out of 2450 metres, work has been already completed in 1500 metres. Work is in progress in the remaining portion, he said.

AAI also constructed and commissioned a new ATC control tower with a commanding view of the runway, Vas added.


Mangaluru International Airport has evolved since IX812 air-crash into safer facility' (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/mangaluru-international-airport-has-evolved-since-ix812-air-crash-in-to-more-safer-facility/articleshow/77437798.cms)

Primary to ensuring safety is the commissioning of Instrument Landing System (CAT I ILS) as against CAT IIIB ILS in use at Indira Gandhi International Airport at New Delhi last year, says V V Rao, airport director, MIA. In an informal chat with TOI in wake of crash of IX-1344 at Kozhikode, Rao said MIA has internalised the various lessons learnt from IX812 crash and has consistently strived to adhere to every single aspect that enhances safety.

Accordingly, as recommended by the CoI, firefighting systems have been upgraded keeping in mind the topography in which they would be required to operate. Air navigational system has been upgraded. MIA now has Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range (VOR), a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft. The apron has been improved and the new air traffic control tower gives a commanding view of the entire runway, he said.

State government too has constructed roads around the airport to enable emergency response vehicles of AAI to reach there within the stipulated response time addressing a major lacuna that authorities faced when the IX812 crash happened, he said. With every agency involved taking care to upgrade safety measures, Rao said DGCA that regulates functioning of aircraft and airports in India too keeps a tight leash on safety by way of surprise inspections.

Aviation safety wing of AAI too carries out periodic and surprise inspections and their reports are acted on to ensure safety and well being of the stakeholders using the airport, he said. “We have evolved as an airport over the years (especially since the IX812 crash),” Rao said adding the safety management system as dictated by DGCA guidelines are fully in vogue at the airport. Periodic checks and mock exercise too helps the airport maintain its edge, he surmised.

One requires an entry permit issued by the Lakshadweep administration to visit these islands, apart from a resident sponsoring the visitor.

A similar passenger service was launched from Mangaluru Old Port earlier too, but was stopped a few years ago. There are tourism agencies that offer packages which include visits to various tourism spots and stay on the islands, said a source.

Gulam Mohammed, welfare officer of the ship, said that board that boarding the ship will start at 10am on Wednesday. “The ship will start sailing at 1pm. It has 150 seats and the fare is Rs 200 per head,” he said.

Dakshina Kannada Coastal Regulation Zone Management Committee had granted a no objection certificate to the Lakshadweep administration for the construction of their office and other amenities at Bunder in 2015. The Lakshadweep administration and the Karnataka port department had prepared a plan to construct a harbour, passengers’ waiting complex, goods sheds and other facilities at a cost of Rs 50 crore. The port department also agreed to provide 8,000sqm land to the Lakshadweep administration for the purpose. However, the project has not yet been taken up.

ಬಂದರು, ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ, ರೈಲು, ಮೂರು ಹೆದ್ದಾರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿರುವ ದೇಶದ ಕೆಲವೇ ನಗರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಕೂಡ ಒಂದು. ನಗರ ವಿಸ್ತಾರಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಆಡಳಿತಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ಮಹಾನಗರ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಗೆ ಸೀಮಿತವಾದರೂ ವ್ಯವಹಾರಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ಇದರಾಚೆಗೆ ನಗರ ವ್ಯಾಪಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಬಿ.ಸಿ. ರೋಡ್ವರೆಗೆ, ಮುಡಿಪು, ತಲಪಾಡಿ, ಮೂಲ್ಕಿಯವರೆಗೆ ನಗರವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿ ವ್ಯಾವಹಾರಿಕವಾಗಿ ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನು, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸ್ಮಾರ್ಟ್ಸಿಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆಯಲಿದ್ದು, ಹೀಗಿರುವಾಗ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ರೈಲು ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಪೂರಕ ಎಂಬ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಕೇಳಿಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ.

The corporation has not provided stabling or maintenance lines at any of its stations along 270 km odd network in Karnataka thereby denying starting of any train from the coast other than Southern Railway’s Mangaluru. Worse, KRCL has no plans to construct maintenance lines in Karnataka, the corporation had stated in a reply to an RTI query recently.

Mangaluru-Coimbatore Tejas Express proposal irks many in Karnataka (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/mangaluru-coimbatore-tejas-express-proposal-irks-many-in-karnataka/article30953607.ece)

Yogendra Swamy from Mysuru Grahaka Parishat said SR and its Palakkad division has cited platform constraints whenever Karnataka trains, including the Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Junction-Yeshwantpur Gomateshwara Express and the Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction-Vijayapura Special Express, are sought to be run from Mangaluru Central. “Won’t the same constraints apply to Tamil Nadu- or Kerala-bound trains,” he asked. He also said the practice of using Mangaluru as the terminal for north Kerala should stop.

Anil Hegde of Pashchima Karavali Rail Yatri Abhivriddhi Samiti said the Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Central Tri-weekly Express (16585) was departing Yeshwantpur at a very odd hour of 4.30 p.m. and arriving Central at 3.30 a.m. “It is only because Palakkad division’s claim that no platform is available at Central after 5 a.m.,” Mr. Hegde said, wondering how SR could find platform for Tejas Express now.

Kukke Subrahmanya-Mangaluru Rail Abhivriddhi Samiti convener Sudarshan Puttur said the Tejas proposal has again exposed the “double standards of the SR”. “It did not allow the Mumbai CSMT-Mangaluru-Mumbai CSMT Superfast Express into Central citing platform congestion; SR started the Mangaluru Central-Coimbatore Intercity Express in the meantime,” he said.

Stakeholders feel KRCL ignoring state’s interests (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/stakeholders-feel-krcl-ignoring-states-interests/articleshow/74464621.cms)

KRCL has not provided stabling or maintenance lines at any of the stations in the 270-km-odd network straddling Karnataka. This has negated chances of any train being started from the coast, other than Mangaluru Central, which is under Southern Railway. KRCL has admitted that it has no plans to construct maintenance lines in the state as per its reply to an RTI query, a copy of which is available with TOI.


Tejas Exp move bemuses train stakeholders in coastal K'taka (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/tejas-exp-move-bemuses-train-stakeholders-in-coastal-ktaka/articleshow/74446935.cms)

Activists Raveendran Nambiar and Dinesh Bhat, both from Puttur, said SR cannot justify the non-availability of platforms to start and receive Karnataka trains at Central as four trains leave Central towards Kerala/ Tamil Nadu between 5am and 7.30am. Even when there is inordinate delay in constructing additional platforms at Central by SR, its move to push Tejas’ proposal is classic example for step-motherly treatment towards Karnataka, Bhat rued.

Yogendra Swamy, representing Mysuru Grahaka Parishat, said SR and Palakkad division have cited platform constraint to Karnataka trains, including Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Junction-Yeshwantpur Gomateshwara Express, Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction-Vijayapura special Express. “Won’t the same constraints apply to TN- and Kerala-bound trains?” he asked. The practice of using Mangaluru as the terminal for North Kerala should stop, he suggested.


I think not only Mangaluru but Coimbatore is also reserved as terminal by Kerala.

Railways mull Tejas Express for Kozhikode (https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/railways-mull-tejas-express-for-kozhikode/article30975800.ece)

Nascent stage

Railway sources say the proposal of the inter-city train service is in its infancy though the mechanical department of the Salem division and the Palakkad division have worked out the feasibility of the service. A final decision on operating the service would be taken only after getting the approval of the Railway Board.

One of the reasons for not hastily going ahead with the proposal is that the Mangaluru Central station has to facilitate the primary maintenance of the new train. The sources say the existing pit line at the Mangaluru station is saturated. But steps are being taken to set up a new pit line at the station. Another is the issue of the inadequate number of platforms there.

The non-availability of platforms is forcing the authorities to terminate intra-Karnataka trains at other stations than Mangaluru Central. Besides, a lobby in Mangaluru is against using the station for north Kerala commuters, the sources said.

The train had been proposed primarily for the benefit of rail commuters of Kozhikode, the sources said.

SR commissions double line between Mangaluru Jn., Padil (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/sr-commissions-double-line-between-mangaluru-jn-padil/article30985102.ece)

SR’s construction division has undertaken doubling of track between Mangaluru Junction and Panambur Yard via Padil. At present, doubling work on the 17-km stretch between Junction and Padil, excluding 2 km between Kulashekara and Padil that includes 600 m of Kulashekara tunnel, is complete.

Doubling work between Mangaluru Junction and Panambur (21 km), including the tunnel work, is expected to be over by March next, the release said.

Other works

Meanwhile, SR also executed several improvement works in Junction. Platforms 1 to 3 were extended to accommodate 26 coach trains while provision for two-engine lay-bys was provided to facilitate traction change from diesel to electrical and vice versa.

The existing electronic inter-locking signalling system was replaced with upgraded electronic interlocking and dual visual display units at Mangaluru Junction, the release said. Improvement in signalling eases movement of trains.

Provision was also made for continuous track circuiting between Junction and Padil to ease movement of trains and ensure safety while trip shed and ballast siding were provided at Junction.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು: ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲು ಸೇವೆ 1907ರಲ್ಲಿ ಆರಂಭಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು 111 ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಇತಿಹಾಸವಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸೇವೆ ಗಳನ್ನು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಲು ಅನೇಕ ವಿಚಾರಗಳು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿವೆ. ಆದುದರಿಂದ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ವಿಭಾಗ ನೀಡುವುದು ಅವಶ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಸಂಸದ ನಳಿನ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಕಟೀಲು ಲೋಕಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗ್ರಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಲೋಕಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಶುಕ್ರವಾರ ಚರ್ಚೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ ಅವರು, ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಸ್ಥಳಾವಕಾಶವಿರುವ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಜಂಕ್ಷನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಭಾಗೀಯ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಕಚೇರಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಬಹುದಾಗಿದೆ. ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸೆಂಟ್ರಲ್ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ 7 ಕಿ.ಮೀ., ಕೊಂಕಣ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ 18 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ಮತ್ತು ನೈಋತ್ಯ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ 6 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಕೊಂಕಣ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ ಅಧೀನದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ವಿಭಾಗ ರಚಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂದರು.

“We have identified Mangaluru Junction Railway Station to set up Divisional Headquarters office,” the MP said adding enough land was available in the location. If necessary, State government’s financial support may be sought to set up the division, he said.

World class station

Stating that the century-old Mangaluru Central Station was in dire need of a revamp, the MP urged the Ministry to completely overhaul the station complex.

Meanwhile, the Railways should expedite construction of two new platforms, No. 4 and 5 at Central as the present work pace was very slow. New platforms would enhance train handling capacity at Central.

Besides, the Railways should undertake doubling and electrification of Mangaluru-Bengaluru line, he said.

Mr. Kateel urged the Ministry to introduce a new train between Mangaluru and Bidar via Hassan, Chitradurga, Ballari and Mantralaya Road to offer connectivity with North Karnataka for development of tourism, education and pilgrimage. A direct service from Mangaluru to Tirupati too was needed, besides another train to Rameswaram via Palakkad, Madurai.

ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದಲ್ಲೇ ಉಳಿದ 2 ಪ್ರಮುಖ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು - ಜೀವ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳದ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ; 3 ತಾಲೂಕುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಪರ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karnataka-edition/topnews-karnataka-edition/two-railway-road-pending)

ಕಾರ್ಕಳ: ಉಡುಪಿ ಮತ್ತು ದ.ಕ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಹಲವು ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಕೇಂದ್ರಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಹಾದುಹೋಗುವ ಎರಡು ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಪರ್ಯಾಯ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ದಶಕಗಳಿಂದ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದಲ್ಲೇ ಉಳಿದಿದೆ.

ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಈಡೇರಿಲ್ಲ
ಪಡುಬಿದ್ರಿ, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಉಜಿರೆ, ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ ನೆಟ್ಟಣ ಮತ್ತು ನಂದಿಕೂರು, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಬಜಗೋಳಿ ಉಜಿರೆ, ಚಾರ್ಮಾಡಿ ಈ ಎರಡು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಈ ವರೆಗೂ ಈಡೇರಿಲ್ಲ. ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆಯಿಂದಲೂ ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ಪಂದನೆ ಸಿಗುವ ಲಕ್ಷಣಗಳಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬದಲಿಗೆ ತುಸು ಬದಲಾವಣೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಉಜಿರೆ, ಚಾರ್ಮಾಡಿ-ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಹಾರ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಾರ್ಗ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣದ ಹೊಸ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಮುಂದಿಡಲು ಉಡುಪಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಿದೆ.

ಪಡುಬಿದ್ರಿ, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ, ನೆಟ್ಟಣ ಮಧ್ಯೆ 120 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ಹೊಸ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಸರ್ವೇ ನಡೆದಿದೆ. ಪ್ರಾಥಮಿಕ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಚಾರ ಸರ್ವೇ, ಎಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್ ಕಮ್ ಟ್ರಾಫಿಕ್ ಸರ್ವೇ ನಡೆದಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಮಾರ್ಗ ರಚನೆ ಕುರಿತು ಯಾವುದೇ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಗಳು ಇಲಾಖೆ ಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದುವರೆಗೂ ಮುನ್ನೆಲೆಗೆ ಬಂದಿಲ್ಲ.

ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಕ್ಕೇ ಸೀಮಿತ
ಅವಿಭಜಿತ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರ್ಯಾಯ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ರೈಲು ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಜನಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಗಳ ಮುಂದೆ ಇರಿಸಿತ್ತು. ನಂದಿಕೂರು, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ ಬಜಗೋಳಿ ಉಜಿರೆ ಚಾರ್ಮಾಡಿ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಾಗಿ ಸೋಮನಾಡು ಸೇತುವೆ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುರಂಗದ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಾಗಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಹಾರದಿಂದ ಮೂಡಿಗೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ಜೋಡಣೆಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದು ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ರಾಜಧಾನಿ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಸಾಗುವುದು. ಮತ್ತು ನಂದಿಕೂರು ಜಂಕ್ಷನ್ ಆಗಿ ರೂಪುಗೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಇವುಗಳು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಗಷ್ಟೆ ಸೀಮಿತವಾಗಿದ್ದು ಹೊರತು ಪಡಿಸಿದೆ ಹೊರತು ಜೀವ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿಲ್ಲ.

ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸಂಪರ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲದ 3 ತಾಲೂಕು
ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳ ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ವಿವಿಧ ಪಕ್ಷದ ನಾಯಕರು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಹುದ್ದೆ ನಿಭಾಯಿಸಿದ್ದರೂ, ಕರಾವಳಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯವರೇ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಂತ್ರಿ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಮೂಡುಬಿದಿರೆ, ಬೆಳ್ತಂಗಡಿ ಈ ಮೂರು ತಾಲೂಕುಗಳು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸಂಪರ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿಲ್ಲ. ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾದರೆ ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೂ ತೆರಳುವ ಯಾತ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಹತ್ತಿರದ ಮಾರ್ಗ
2010 ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಸಮೀಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಅಂದು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸಚಿವರಾಗಿದ್ದ ಮಮತಾ ಬ್ಯಾನರ್ಜಿ ಅನುಮೋದನೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಯೋಜನೆ ಕಾರ್ಯಗತವಾಗಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಂದಾಪುರ ಉಡುಪಿ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಪರ್ಯಾಯ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಲಿಂಕ್ ಆಗಿ 4 ಗಂಟೆ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಅನಂತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯವರೇ ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಗಳು ಈಡೇರದೇ ಉಳಿದಿದೆ.

ಇಂದು ಸಭೆ
ರೈಲ್ವೇಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಮನ್ನನೆ ಸಿಗದೇ ಇರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಸರವಿದೆ. ಈಗಿರುವ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಗಳು ನನೆಗುದಿಗೆ ಬಿದ್ದಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದಷ್ಟು ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವ ಮಂಡಿಸಲಿದ್ದು, ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅ.15ರಂದು ಉಡುಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘದ ತುರ್ತು ಸಭೆ ಕರೆದಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
-ಆರ್.ಎಲ್ ಡಯಾಸ್, ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರು, ಉಡುಪಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘ

ಅನುಮೋದನೆ ಸಿಗಬೇಕು
ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳು ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಇವೆ. ಈ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಗಳು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಿವೆ. ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಂಡಳಿಯಿಂದ ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಮೋದನೆ ಸಿಗಬೇಕಿದೆ.

ಮಹಾನಗರ: ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಚಾಲಿತ ವಾಹನಗಳಿಗೆ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹ ನೀಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಬೆನ್ನಿಗೆ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮತ್ತು ಉಡುಪಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಿಕ್ ವಾಹನಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ಸಾರಿಗೆ ಇಲಾಖೆಯ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಉಭಯ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 114 ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಿಕ್ ಬೈಕ್, 29 ಕಾರು ಮತ್ತು 4 ರಿಕ್ಷಾಗಳಿವೆ. ಹಲವು ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಿಕ್ ವಾಹನಗಳು ನೋಂದಣಿಯ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿವೆ. ಸದ್ಯ ಈ ವಾಹನಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಬ್ಯಾಟರಿ ಚಾರ್ಜಿಂಗ್ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಚಾರ್ಜ್ ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಿಕ್ ಆಟೋರಿಕ್ಷಾ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಚಾರ್ಜ್ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಸುಮಾರು 130 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ಸಂಚರಿಸಬಲ್ಲುದು. ಚಾರ್ಜಿಂಗ್ಗೆ ನಾಲ್ಕು ತಾಸು ಅಗತ್ಯ. ತೈಲ ಇಂಧನ ಬಳಸುವ ಮತ್ತು ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಿಕ್ ರಿಕ್ಷಾದ ವೆಚ್ಚ ಹೆಚ್ಚುಕಮ್ಮಿ ಸಮಾನವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ.

In one more intiative, members of Dakshina Kannada & Udupi Bus Operators Associations can explore whether it is possible to reach a profit sharing agreement with companies like Csepel (http://www.csepel-holding.hu/) just like Karnataka government is planning for its favourite city & mafia. And Mangaluru Smart City (http://mangalurusmartcity.net/) company can include this task in smart city schedule. Note that Csepel has already signed some kind of MoU with a few of private travels already - 1 (https://autotechreview.com/news/sram-mram-group-csepel-holding-nyrt-hungary-agreement-joint-venture-electric-bus-manufacturing-project-asia-india-boot-model) 2 (https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/ab-business-enterprises-plans-to-raise-rs-250-cr-pvt-equity-117120700838_1.html). Even ex urban minister had talked about discussing with MESCOM for battery charging stations - 1 (https://epaper.udayavani.com/2201215/Manipal-Edition/16-Jun-2019#page/9/2). No idea what are possibilities & advantages extending such scheme to electric autos, taxis, bike/car rentals etc. Anyway many of them will be switching over to CNG soon.

In the next step what can we try is 'Mobility as a Service' aka 'Cloud Mobility'. To achieve this bus operators, autoriksha/taxi associations, bicycle club have to come together. We can start by opening a 'Mobility Study Cell' in any of engineering college of Tulunadu and come up with a economic plan for the entire region.

ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗೆ ತಡೆ
ಕೆಲವು ಕಟ್ಟಡಗಳು/ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಮಳಿಗೆಗಳ ಎದುರು ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ನಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಇಟ್ಟು ಪಾದಚಾರಿಗಳು ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ ಬಳಸದಂತೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ತಿಂಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆಯಷ್ಟೇ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಗೊಂಡ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ ಕೂಡ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಉದ್ದೇಶಗಳಿಗೆ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನು ಕೆಲವೆಡೆ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ರಸ್ತೆಗಾಗಿ ಸ್ಥಳಾವಕಾಶ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಸಂಪರ್ಕವೇ ಇಲ್ಲದಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅಂತಹ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ನಡೆದಾಡುವುದು ಅಸಾಧ್ಯ.

ಎತ್ತರವಿಲ್ಲದ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್
ಹಲವೆಡೆ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ರಸ್ತೆಗೆ ಸಮತಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಹಾಗಾಗಿ ವಾಹನಗಳನ್ನು ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನು ಕೆಲವೆಡೆ ತುಸು ಎತ್ತರದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರೂ ಅದು ವಾಹನಗಳು ಏರುವಷ್ಟೇ ಎತ್ತರವಿದೆ. ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುವಾಗಲೇ ವಾಹನಗಳ ನಿಲುಗಡೆಗೆ ಸೂಕ್ತವಾಗಿರುವ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಅನೇಕ ಮಂದಿ ಪಾದಚಾರಿಗಳು ದೂರಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಸಂಚಾರಕ್ಕೆ ತೊಡಕು
ಲಕ್ಷಾಂತರ ರೂಪಾಯಿ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳು ವಾಹನಗಳ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ಗೆ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಪಾದಚಾರಿಗಳು ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವಭಯದಲ್ಲೇ ನಡೆದಾಡುವುದು ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ವಾಹನಗಳ ಸುಗಮ ಸಂಚಾರಕ್ಕೂ ತೊಡಕಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೊಂಡ ರಸ್ತೆಯ ಅಂಚಿನಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಹನಗಳ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಿದರೂ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾತ್ರ ಜನರ ಓಡಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಕ್ತವಾಗಿರಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂಬುದು ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರ ಒತ್ತಾಯ.

ಅನಧಿಕೃತ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ತೆರವು
ರಸ್ತೆ ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲದೆ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಆಕ್ರಮಿಸಿ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ಮಾಡುವ ವಾಹನ ಸವಾರರು/ ಚಾಲಕರ ವಿರುದ್ಧವೂ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಜನರ ಓಡಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ತೊಂದರೆಯಾಗುವಂತೆ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಮಳಿಗೆಗಳು ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಇಟ್ಟರೆ ಅಂತವರ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ.

When is Shiradi tunnel? - IT giant Mohadas Pai tweet (http://epaper.udayavani.com/EditionPage/EPpage.php?edn=Manipal&isid=UVANI_MAN_20201017#Page/13)

Idea of tunnel under Shiradi Ghat comes to fore (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=763101)

Environmentalists, however, question the need to have such a tunnel. Just because a tunnel was dug in Himachal Pradesh does not mean that the Western Ghats too have the carrying capacity, they argue. They say that precious nature of Western Ghats has been lost for Bengaluru-Mangaluru railway line, hydel power project at Gundia, for B C Road highway, Yettinahole project etc. They point out that because of this onslaught, we have been witnessing the ill effects during the rainy seasons in the recent past. They say that if a tunnel is rigged here, it will deliver another major blow to Western Ghats and Kempuhole rivulet, which is the source of River Netravati, may go dry and the project may prove to be disastrous for Dakshina Kannada district.

They result in the deaths of numerous wild marine species and studies have shown that they can hamper fish stocks over time, especially in areas under intense fishing pressure, it said in a release.

“We hope the Fisheries Department takes cognisance of this growing issue and establishes proper disposal systems for fishing nets going forward,” it said.

Bio-mining proposal awaits govt. approval (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/bio-mining-proposal-awaits-govt-approval/article32749403.ece)

Bio-mining is a process involving digging out previously dumped or disposed of material from landfill sites to recover plastic, metal, glass, combustibles, other fine material and soil. Plastic, metals and other material thus recovered can be sent for re-cycling. The bio-degradable waste in a landfill site gets decomposed. When non-biodegradable material in the same site are recovered and sent for re-cycling, the land under them can be reclaimed for further use. With this, there is no need to scout for more land for dumping municipal solid waste.

Bio-mining is estimated to cost about Rs. 17 crore, the Commissioner said.

The dumped solid waste spread over 25 acres, including the 13.5 acres of private land, in Pachchanady is estimated to be six lakh tonnes. Once bio-mining is taken up, it is expected to come down to 2.4 lakh tonnes as the refuse derived fuel (RDF) material (such as plastic recovered) in the site are estimated at 40 %, he said.

The Rs. 17 crore cost estimated excludes the transportation of the recovered material in bales. Bales of plastic recovered will have to be transported to cement industries which are at least 700 km away from Mangaluru. It required an additional fund, he said.

Ullal generates over 18 tonnes of waste per day out of which about 4-5 tonnes is dry waste

The DWCC project has been developed by Hasiru Dala and APD Foundation after working with Ullal CMC for over 10 months and understanding the current Solid Waste Management (SWM) at Ullal.

A survey was done to determine the number of waste pickers in Ullal. Waste picker identity cards were issued to them. These waste pickers will be operating the DWCC centre.

The collected dry waste will be sent to the recyclers. The waste pickers and the operator will get their earnings from the revenue generated from the sale of recyclable waste. The surplus generated will be reinvested for expansion of the facility.

Wet and sanitary waste will be collected daily and dry waste will be collected only on Fridays. Wet waste should not be handed over in plastic bags. It should be given in a small bin directly to the solid waste collectors.

The Commissioner said that all traders should henceforth display a board in front of their establishments that they are not selling and using banned plastic material. They should keep green colour bins for wet waste and blue colour bins for dry waste. If not, the civic body will take steps to cancel their trade licence or it will not collect waste from them.

‘Minor vented dams’

Through Ravi Shankar Guruji’s Art of Living and various government programmes, a series of activities will be taken up in the constituency.In addition, 58 vented dams were constructed last year.

This year 100 minor vented dams will be constructed in the constituency, Kumar added.

Through Ennehole project, water will be supplied to Ajekaru, Hirgana, Kukkundooru and Erlapady villages. It will also help in recharging groundwater at Aanekere and Ramasamudra in Karkala taluk.

Plans have been chalked out to construct more than 40 check dams on all the rivulets near Ennehole, said Engineer Praveen.

The cost of the project is estimated to be over Rs 192.26 crore and work is expected to be completed by 18 months. The bridge with a total length of 520 metres, will have 52 service gates and five stop log gates. The size of gates will be 8.5X2 metres.

The capacity of the dam is 1.60 TMC. The project will be carried out on turn key basis. G Shankar is the contractor for the work. There is also a plan to construct a bridge at Adamkudru - Bajal in future, Khader added.

Purified seawater to Mangaluru: Team to Chennai (http://epaper.udayavani.com/home.php?edition=Manipal&date=2010-02-09&pageno=16&pid=UVANI_MAN)
Transforming sea water into fresh one - city team to visit Chennai (http://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=494832)

Rs. 871 crores means 100 MLD which can cater to 15 lakh people. Read Jayalalithaa inaugurates Rs 871 cr desalination plant (http://www.deccanherald.com/content/314010/jayalalithaa-inaugurates-rs-871-cr.html). Where are 15 lakh people in Mangaluru now?

For industries I think MRPL is already constructing a desalination plant of 50 MLD at Tannirbhavi which is enough for its future expansion and other industries planned in MSEZ. Even UPCL is mooting of a desalination plant. Mulki, Surathkal region can be supplied water from Shambhavi river & UPCL desalination plant. Harekala/Adyar dam is mooted for Ullal region. Many more dams are going to be constructed on Netravati for waterway project. These dams can release water to Mangaluru whever there is water shortage. I am sure that these dams are enough for feeding more than 20 lakh people till year 2050. Other dams along Mangaluru-Udupi belt can feed another 20 lakh people in this belt. Where is the need for extra desalination plants?

As far as Phalguni pollution, which is said to be because of Maravoor dam, only solution is to stop releasing all types of polluted water into it whether it is domestic or industrial.

Why did the government allocated Rs. 871 crores for desalination plant in a hurry and just Rs. 200 crores for Pashchima Vahini? The government has all the money for Yettinahole but no money for Pashchima Vahini. Even if you forget that the government is not even releasing money for land acquisition needed for Tumbe dam. Isn't the desalination plant for taking water to Yettinahole?

Here are some old news links.

Desalination plant in city may become a reality as MRPL shows interest (http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/Desalination-plant-in-city-may-become-a-reality-as-MRPL-shows-interest/article17113923.ece)

Is seawater desalination the answer? (http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/Is-seawater-desalination-the-answer/article15379592.ece)
Karnataka may build new city to decongest Bengaluru (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/infrastructure/karnataka-may-build-new-city-to-decongest-bengaluru/articleshow/57533054.cms)

Obviously this project is a part of the bigger project to take water through Yettinahole and not for Mangaluru. We don't need any projects around the parched city as I have already posted here (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=217211&page=16).

Do we need such desalination plants to spoil our sea & kill our marinelife by increasing salinity level of the sea? (Even IISc professor who suggested sea reservior said desalination plants are deadly for marinelife! Read earlier posts & news links.) It is pitty that our own selfish elected representatives for their political gains are compromising on our marine ecology. Let us unite and defeat these politicians in the coming election.

Yuva Brigade to clean river Nandini (http://www.deccanherald.com/content/658679/yuva-brigade-clean-river-nandini.html)

Enough opportunities to process sea water (http://epaper.udayavani.com/home.php?edition=Manipal&date=2018-02-13&pageno=14&pid=UVANI_MAN)

The team studied everything except where the process water is released back into the sea and what was effect on marine life. Without doing this they are giving a rosy picture! These parties want free Netravati water to be looted by the real estate mafia of the parched city and Tuluvas to pay for processing sea water! Look how they are telling Chennai is supplying desalinated water free of cost as if these politicians are going to pay from their personal pockets for desalinating sea water!

Now whoever wants to defeat this party the task has become easy. Fishing community is a decisive community in the elections! Just needs to create awareness among them on side effects of desalination plants on marine life and hence their livelihood.

Look at this report.

World's first desalination unit off Ennore coast (http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2017/nov/14/worlds-first-desalination-unit-off-ennore-coast-1700527.html)
NIOT to build India’s first offshore desal plant near Chennai coast (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/niot-to-build-indias-first-offshore-desal-plant-near-city-coast/articleshow/61636889.cms)

Desalination by LTTD process (https://www.niot.res.in/index.php/node/index/27/)

What it means is offshore desalination plant, with least effect on marine life, with 10 MLD capacity costs Rs. 2000 crores. So, 100 MLD will cost around Rs. 20,000 crores. Only adavantage Mangaluru has is sea is not shallow like Chennai so you need not go to 40 km from the coast to find the required depth for intake of deep sea cold water.

By the way, NITK should conduct thorough Risk Analysis on marine life even for proposed 50 MLD desalination plants of MRPL & UPCL and suggest hazard mitigation measures. 04.05 IMPACT ON MARINE RESOURCES (page 206) (http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/EIA/071220150QUKO6N15MLDHybridSWDPatOdisha.pdf).

Mayor to write to CM for setting up seawater desalination plant in city (http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/mayor-to-write-to-cm-for-setting-up-seawater-desalination-plant-in-city/article22745867.ece)

From the news it looks like this plant and the plant proposed by MRPL are one and the same. But 50 MLD is sufficient for industries. We don't want desalination plants of huge capacities. Where are they planning to release the brine water? Let them take it to the parched city through a small pipeline and supply to real estate mafia and their puppet politicians so that they can use it for cooking, bathing etc and their puppet politicians here also can use it. And, when will the mayor write to the CM to release money for the new Tumbe dam land acquisition?

...


Water from MRPL desalination plant will be enough for all MRPL expansions. MRPL has already plans to increase capacity of this desalination plant. New dam coming up at Adyar/Harekala can cater to Infosys and Mudipu IT SEZ. There is also proposal for vented dam for Shambhavi river to address water needs of Mulki. UPCL is also planning for desalination plant. In addition, there is also discussion on coastal reservior. So, there is no need for another desalination plant in Mangaluru taluk in the near future. When the population of greater Mangaluru exceeds 20 lakhs we can think of another desalination somewhere between Surathkal and Sasihitlu far away from Tannirbhavi or at least go for LTTD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-temperature_thermal_desalination) instead of reverse osmosis technology. Anyway my desire is Mangaluru-Udupi belt population level should remain within 40 lakhs (20 lakhs + 10 lakhs + 10 lakhs)! When Chennai, with such huge population, thinks of alternative - Chennai water crisis: Are desalination plants the answer? (https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/energy-and-environment/are-desalination-plants-the-answer/article28197717.ece) why not Mangaluru?

For increasing groundwater level the newspaper already has given good publicity for groundwater recharging. It should continue its excellent contribution towards this cause.

The protesters urged the government to set up a full-fledged cancer hospital in Dakshina Kannada.

The vacancies in PHCs, CHCs and government hospitals should be filled. Eight full-fledged 100-bedded taluk hospitals should be set up in the district, demanded the protesters.

Samithi’s Sunil Kumar Bajal said as per the population of the district, it should have had 120 PHCs, 30 community health centres with 40 beds each and eight taluk hospitals with 100 beds each. Unfortunately, the district has only 80 PHCs, seven CHCs and four taluk hospitals.

A majority of the PHCs, CHCs and taluk hospitals have vacant posts of doctors and super speciality doctors. The failure to sanction a medical college to the district shows a lack of will power among the elected representatives, he said.

“If smaller cities upgrade themselves with IT support system system, it is definitely the best place to work — all sans traffic congestion. Government should encourage such projects in smaller towns across Karnataka,” Muliya said.

Works worth Rs. 2,000 cr. to be taken up in Dakshina Kannada (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/works-worth-rs-2000-cr-to-be-taken-up-in-dakshina-kannada/article32710882.ece)

Among the 23 works that will be taken up are construction of gas terminal, LNG terminal, petrochemical complex, godown for foodgrains and sea food park at the New Mangalore Port. The other works to be taken up are construction of jetties for water sports and building a hospital. The Shipping Ministry will also take up development of various beaches in the State, Mr. Kateel said.


Strange that gas terminal, LNG terminal (H-Energy FSRU (http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/TOR/22_Mar_2018_121528120STS0QV2RAnnexurePreFeasibilityReportPFR.pdf)?), petrochemical complex together cost just Rs. 2000 crores. Could be Covid-19 effect! What is the difference between gas terminal and LNG terminal? Whether gas terminal means terminal for gas coming from Kochi LNG terminal? (Kochi - Mangalore line is stuck at Netravati river (https://mmb.moneycontrol.com/forum-topics/stocks/petronet-lng/thread-message-87086707-88886707.html)). Whether sea food park is coming up in NMPT land? (Tannirbhavi?) If not, why the shipping minister just talks about sea food park but not Plastic Park, Coconut Park, SAZ? Does that mean that only seafood park is feasible none of others are feasible?

Whether they are also planning for underground rock cavern LNG storage facility 1 (https://www.intechopen.com/books/natural-gas-extraction-to-end-use/innovative-method-of-lng-storage-in-underground-lined-rock-caverns)? Anyway I think proposed underground LPG storage facility can be used for storing regasified LNG also with some modifications.

Whether sea food park will also be industrial township consisting of multistoreyed industrial complexes & residential/commercial complexes?

What is happening with Marine Biotech Park? Why the state government is talking on Precision Engineering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_engineering) Park? Anyway the state government goes on talking about marine biotech, additive manufacturing, precision manufacturing etc.

KCCI submits detailed project report to govt for IT park in Mangaluru (https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/info-tech/kcci-submits-detailed-project-report-to-govt-for-it-park-in-mangaluru/article32740103.ece)

The entire building plan of two lakh square feet, to be set up at an estimated cost of ₹60 crore, has been designed with inputs from CREDAI and all heads of IT industry in the district.

Stating that the long-pending demand of KCCI for reforms in APMC has been met, he said this move is bound to give a big push to cashew and other agro-based industries. The APMC cess, which is restricted only to the APMC yard and sub-yards, has been reduced to 0.35 per cent, he said.


Reforms open Dakshina Kannada doors to Kerala land buyers (https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/oct/03/reforms-open-dk-doors-to-kerala-land-buyers-2205166.html)

A majority of Keralites who buy land here convert it into rubber plantations, while there are also people who take up arecanut, coconut, banana plantations. Govinda Bhat, a progressive farmer from Manila in Bantwal taluk, which is close to the Kerala border, says the Keralites purchasing land in the district started about four decades ago when they first set up rubber plantations in Sullia taluk.

Rashid Vittla, a social worker, feels that Keralites buying land has helped the locals in a way. “Most of the land they buy are the ones which are left barren. After buying, they turn them into plantations which will at least provide jobs to locals,” he pointed out.


Why rubber plantations are more profitable than agroforestry? What is the goal of SAZ - just rubber plants/factories? I hope somebody will start experiment to grow asparagus in between coconut trees.

If we are planning to grow white asparagus shoots (https://www.hobbyfarms.com/growing-white-asparagus/) within coconut farms then we have to come up with a way to protect it from falling coconuts & leaves though probability of crop damage may be negligible as asparagus white shoots grow within soil cover. I think they will be safe from elephant attacks also (why should elephants attack a farm with asparagus below soil?).

He was speaking at a function at Puttur in Dakshina Kannada after inaugurating the new administrative building and a hall of the South Kanara Beekeepers’ Cooperative Society Ltd.

The arecanut growers, who have been hit by yellow leaf disease in the taluk, submitted a memorandum to the Minister seeking the government’s intervention to promote oil palm cultivation as an alternative crop.

Why IT/ITES, R&D is assigned to the parched city? Why should have monopoly on R&D? Why Mangaluru is not getting importance for petroleum, marine & healthcare sector R&D? Answer is obvious - politicians are controlled by real estate mafia of the parched city or they themselves are part of the mafia! The mafia wants entire Karnataka to be their slave. On our hand, we have to continue our campaign for shifting of HPCL R&D facility from the parched city to Mangaluru. Today is the black day on which we are colonized by the parched city. Hope 'Tulunadu Horata Samiti' will be more active soon in pursuing demands of the region.

Keonics plans to develop IT Park (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/keonics-plans-to-develop-it-park/article32857518.ece)

The Board of Directors took the decision to develop the IT Park on the 3.75 acres of land in Kuntikana-Derebail in its recent meeting, Keonics Chairman Harikrishna Bantwal told The Hindu.

It would be a public-private partnership initiative with the participation of Mangaluru Smart City Ltd. (MSCL) and supported by the Confederation of Real Estate Developers of India and the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he said.

The proposal was to invest ₹ 30 crore from the State government and another ₹ 30 crore from MSCL.

Having about 2 lakh sq ft floor space, the park would provide space mainly for Electronics System Design Manufacturing, Biotechnology and other initiatives. It would also provide space for incubation centres for start-ups with 340 seats as well as IT and IT-enabled services.

There would be two blocks of nine floors each at the proposed IT Park, detailed project report of which was prepared by the IDFC.

Mega seafood park to come up in Dakshina Kannada: Kota Srinivas Poojary (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/karnataka-districts/mega-seafood-park-to-come-up-in-dakshina-kannada-kota-srinivas-poojary-909821.html)

District -in-Charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said that a mega seafood park will come up in Dakshina Kannada at a cost of Rs 100 crore under Pardhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Scheme.

...

Further, he said that the Centre has given approval for the construction of a fisheries port at a cost of Rs 196.51 crore at Kulai.


Mega means how many acres? Since the MSEZ vacant land is also considered I think it can not be more than 500 acres.

If this is first then where would be the second one? Why the MP is expressing gratitude to so many politicians? What is their individual contribution for shifting the academy to Mangaluru? How did these politicians over come pressure from the parched city real estate mafia to locate this academy in Mangaluru instead of the parched city itself? Still Mangaluru is one step behind Kannur as foundation is not yet laid even after so many years of talk. What about CIPET (integrated/clustered with Plastic Park), NIELIT, Central University for Agriculture? How many more times should we elect this MP to achieve this? I think he has promised more like Central University for Public Health etc. Let us see whether he would get at least a Government Medical College in DK as proposed by the union government for every district.

The UGC in its guidance document titled ‘good academic research practices’ released in September, 2020 said that the office of research integrity (ORI) must be an integral and permanent unit within the research infrastructure of an institution, where it plays a dual role of coach and enforcer. As a coach, the ORI encourages and enables a culture of research integrity and provides training. As enforcer, it monitors research activity for potential malfeasance and acts swiftly, with fairness and tact, when it notices or has instances of research misconduct brought to its attention.

It will be renamed as the Research Development Consultancy and Patent Cell. The cell will promote research activities, publication, filing for patents and intellectual property rights, and will try to get external funding for research. The cell will encourage teachers to take up consultancy work for industries with 50:50 revenue sharing model with the university.

Mr. Dharma said that the digital evaluation plan has been shelved mainly due to two reasons. The teachers indicated that as all eligible evaluators are not familiar with the new move, there could be delay in completing evaluation thus, leading to delay in the announcement of results.

Secondly, last month’s floods in Udupi and heavy rain in Kodagu have created issues in uninterrupted internet connectivity and power supply to digital evaluation centres identified in Udupi and Kodagu districts.

In addition, the government’s approval for the new move was awaited. Hence, the plan was dropped.


Why not Mangalore University train evaluators? Uninterrupted internet connectivity will be an issue which will not be solved in near future. Is it possible to do partial digital evaluation on trial basis?

Karnataka Plans To Set Up Dedicated University For Fisheries At Mangaluru To Enhance Fish Production In State (https://swarajyamag.com/insta/karnataka-plans-to-set-up-dedicated-university-for-fisheries-at-mangaluru-to-enhance-fish-production-in-state)

"As our college has 74 acres of land, the university will be set up in the sprawling campus to offer diploma, degree, post-graduate and research courses in fisheries.

"A dedicated university will enable us to open college of fisheries in each of the state's 30 districts to offer courses for diploma, bachelor's degree, master's degree and PhD in marine subjects," said Naik.

Though the state has a 320 km long coast, a dozen rivers, scores of tributaries, lakes, ponds, tanks and water bodies, there is only one dedicated college for fisheries since the last five decades. Many coastal states such as Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh, and even northeast states have dedicated universities for fisheries.

"Initially, we plan to open 3 colleges for bachelor's and master's courses, 5 polytechnics for diploma and 5 research and information centres across the state to attract students and faculty in fisheries," said Naik.

Karnataka in general and this coastal city in particular had the honour of seeing the second CoF in Asia set up at Yekkur here in 1960. However, since then, while other coastal states who have replicated this CoF venture have gone ahead to set up their own universities, the CoFs under these universities, the CoFs under these universities have spurred research that is helping states such as Tamil Nadu thrive in the fisheries sector, he said.

Proposal for Karnataka Fisheries University submitted (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/proposal-for-karnataka-fisheries-university-submitted-908100.html)

Dr Senthil Vel said; "a detailed proposal on the setting up of the university will be submitted to government on the directions of minister. With the setting up of the university, more ICAR recognised colleges can be set up. Over 200 government jobs could be created." "There is a proposal to start three fisheries colleges, five diploma and five Research and Information centres," Prof A T Ramachandra Naik said while briefing the Minister.

Under the proposal, Fisheries has set a target of increasing the fish landings up to 70 lakh tonnes. Establishing a first of its kind data centre in India, an Information repository, was also included in the proposal, Naik added.

MU mulls setting up chair for dairy farming (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/mu-mulls-setting-up-chair-for-dairy-farming/articleshow/78958661.cms)

Opinions over setting up a chair at the Mangalore University have been mixed. A few experts feel that value addition should not be restricted to only milk and milk products. The chair will enhance research. For instance, there is a scope for research in terms of developing and marketing organic manure. Worldwide, a lot of developments are taking place in the dairy farming sector and there is a lot to learn about breeds and animal care, they feel.

However, a few members feel that the proposal can be put on hold for the time-being. “During the pandemic, the demand for milk and milk products fell by about 20%. Milk production has increased, but the demand has remained the same. The sector enjoys government support. All unions have sufficient stock of milk powder too. Value addition needs to be strengthened, but this would mean additional investment and not many unions at this point of time are ready for it,” a union member said.


Looks like a catch-22 situation. Crisis is not having money to fund research on one hand and on the other hand need of research to invent innovative ways to come out of crisis.

Aquarium complex proposed by College of Fisheries (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/aquarium-complex-proposed-by-college-of-fisheries/articleshow/78958750.cms)

A research and conservation wing shall be established to study the species, their life cycle and conservation methods. Apart from the above education facilities, skill development in aquarium fabrication and ornamental fish will be provided, said Dr A Senthil Vel, professor and dean (fisheries) Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries University, College of Fisheries.

He said the aquarium will be built on approximately 25 acres. It will be of international quality, and shall attract international researchers and tourists.


It would be better to have this facility near airport & seaport. The smart city project had already identified land for tourism development near Pilikula & Gurupur river. This location is convenient for fisheries college students & staff and also international researchers & tourists including cruise tourists. I had already posted that Mangaluru can have a mini biosphere in Pilikula (page #19 (https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=136186&page=19) post #378 (https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8476781&postcount=378) titled 'Terrace/indoor garden & subsidy'). Only worry is increasing pollution of the river. Even upper parts of the river like Mulur, Addur, Sanganabettu, Karpe, Perinje etc can be explored for non-pollution & tourism.

By the way, what happened to oceanarium project?

Smart Schools to be ready by May-end (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/smart-schools-to-be-ready-by-may-end/articleshow/74232057.cms)

Smart Road project languishes owing to lack of coordination (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/smart-road-project-languishes-owing-to-lack-of-coordination/articleshow/74248626.cms)

The Smart Road concept includes broad footpaths with carriageway, railings and bollard system as traffic enforcement method. Placing bollards on either side of each entrance to avoid entry of vehicles on to the footpath, trees to form part of urban design and thereby making the road pedestrian-friendly.


What kind of great achievement is this when already no vehicles are able to enter footpath in this stretch? The main problem was slope of vehicles entrance road to government offices, pedestrians were unable to negotiate comfortably about 3 feet depth of the entrance gates. A few street hawkers were also creating problems. And milk parlour by occupying good space of footpath was also creating problems. Unfenced depth of staircase between Townhall and Gandhi Park was also a safety issue. Other issue was vehicles parked on zebracrossings on the way to footpath from zebracrossings at both AB Shetty Circle and Clock Tower. If possible make these junctions more safe by closing down all extra roads/entrances going to nearby buidings and construct entrances to buildings away from junctions. For example, entrance from Police Station to AB Shetty circle creates enough safety issues there.

I think they are going to work on this stretch again and again with whatever amount is allocated to enhance pedestrian infrastructure in future also.

Not Just a POLE, It’s a SMART POLE & 15 of them to be Installed in Smart City! But, Do We Really Need Them? (https://www.mangalorean.com/not-just-a-pole-its-a-smart-pole-15-of-them-to-be-installed-in-smart-city-but-do-we-really-need-them/)

When the Smart City is in desperate need of Good Footpaths, Scientific Roads, Better Drainage System, etc etc, what is the need in hurrying up with project like this one- which hardly benefits the society-the citizens, which includes Motorists and Pedestrians.

Speaking to Team Mangalorean, Er Arun Prabha- General Manager (Technical) at MSCL said, ” Mangaluru Smart City Ltd.(MSCL) has launched smart poles project in Mangaluru City under the Smart Cities Mission. The project is innovatively structured in such a manner that it delivers bundled smart services to citizens and maximum values for money to the city authority. Mangaluru Smart City has decided to install 15 Nos. Smart poles, in main Junctions across the city. MSCL has chosen the smart pole location keeping in mind the high foot fall areas, important junctions, vehicular traffic and call drop areas so that the maximum benefits can be obtained”

He further said, “Smart Pole offers multiple services to the city residents. The integral parts of the smart pole are: Smart pole has telecom tower infrastructure to match with city aesthetic and ready to accommodate upcoming technology as 4G and 5G; Full Colour Variable Messaging Sign (5 ft x 3 Ft); Wi – Fi hot spot services for the city; Surveillance cameras for safety and traffic violation detection; Public Address system; Mobile based application with functionality of SoS; Centralizes Command and Control center for monitoring the implementation of smart solutions; and Optical fiber for better bandwidth to the Wi-Fi users/providing back haul to telecom operators. Provisional (Option)- Electric Vehicle charging points to promote use of electric vehicles in the city; USB Chargers for Mobile; Environmental Sensors to monitor Air-quality, temperature and humidity (Optional); and Energy efficient and remotely controllable LED Street Lights – (based on Centralized Control & Monitoring System)”

“The benefits of Smart Pole are- Unlike the conventional tower, Smart pole looks good and matches with city infrastructure. It has the telecom power infrastructure in built to facilitate telecom operators to place their equipment; Smart pole has UPS to eliminate Diesel generator as secondary power source. UPS battery provides the back up during electricity outage; Wi-Fi connectivity at 15 Hot Spots locations, where city resident foot fall is increasing. It provides free Wi Fi for defined time periods to the registered users; Optical fiber networks across the city ensures robust connectivity and enable the city to accommodate future technologies. It will also help to establish connectivity between Government departments, City infrastructure and Command & Control Center; Camera surveillance ensures the safety, security and traffic management in the city.”

“Digital advertising panels across the city through smart bill boards will keep the city residents updated with city information and provide the platform to the corporates for promotion; SOS application for emergency, distress, citizen’s response system will facilitate the city residents with quick response in case of emergency; Mobile application for citizen services will help the citizens to use the government service through smart phone. Provisional (Option) – Charging points for Mobile will help the citizens on move; and Charging facility for electric vehicles through EV Charging Points will encourage the use on electric vehicle which will help to reduce carbon foot print” added Er Arun Prabha.

Yours Truly of Team Mangalorean noticed there was some thing wrong in the work. Instead of the display board and the cameras which were suppose to face the Mallikatta Circle, were seen facing the Jugul Building- and that was due to the faulty work of the contractors while constructing the base.

I want to ask the person or persons behind this Smart Pole idea which alerts motorists on traffic rules, Covid-19 guidelines, important messages/warnings etc,- do they expect a driver or a rider to stop and read the messages showing on these LED screen, if not how are they going to read all the messages etc that is displayed randomly.


I think most use of these are during crisis time. Mostly this system was not ready in Mangaluru during lockdown period. Anyway the government should give priority to footpath, drainage etc.

5 Ways in which Smart City Control Rooms Are Helping The COVID Crisis (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/351256)

Smart cities are well equipped with equipment such as video walls, and advanced video feeds of the region which has come together to create war rooms. In Pimpri Chinchwad, close to Pune, one of the highly affected areas in Maharashtra, the war room uses a strong network of surveillance cameras along with location-based services, and analytical tools. These war rooms are also central zones where information and updates are disseminated to the public.

... In Karnataka, under the Mangaluru Smart City, they have set up a dedicated call centre to advise citizens who are self-quarantined, along with addressing other grievances.

ICCC has come in handy for city administrators who aim to use analytics to predict the spread of the pandemic and to deploy emergency response resources. The District Administration under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Shri Sindhu B Rupesh took over the ICCC from March 24th 2020 immediately after the announcement of the very first lockdown in Karnataka to combat the COVID-19. The Police, the District Health Officials, Disaster Management Officials, Relief Distributors, Mangaluru Smart City Limited along with 24X7 support converted the ICCC into COVID-19 War Room.

The ICCC has also become a 24X7 dedicated Call Center with helpline No 1077 operationalized for preventing, monitoring and controlling the deadly virus. Telemedicine services are provided for advising the citizens under self-quarantine. The Command Centre has become the single point control for Multi-location, Multi-department and at Multi-level activities. It is fully equipped to monitor, collect, consolidate, and report real-time data on the pandemic which is the complete application of Disaster Management & Emergency Response (DM&ER) solution.

Along with Disaster Management & Emergency Response, other major IoT applications like monitoring City Bus Transport (Intelligent Transport Management System); City’s House to House garbage collection (Solid Waste Management System); Air Quality of the City (Environmental Sensors); City Surveillance (CCTV Cameras); Variable Message System; Public Address System (PAS), Geographical Information System (GIS), One Touch Mangaluru (Web) and other technology enabled solutions are deployed and functioning 24x7.

Whether anyone has introduced 5G, 'Industry 5.0' or 'Industry 4.0', 'Cloud Technology' including 'Clould Manufacturing' (Manufacturing as a Service) along with AI, IoT, and Mechatronics/Robotics? Could be '5G and Cloud Robotics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_robotics)'!

What are the other components of Cyber-physical system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-physical_system) planned to be introduced along with cloud computing - 'Cyber-Physical Systems Clouds (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/307996575_Cyber-Physical_Systems_Clouds_A_Survey)' 2 (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-33596-0_8). A degree can be introduced 1 (http://catalog.northeastern.edu/graduate/engineering/multidisciplinary/cyber-physical-systems-ms/) 2 (https://engineering.vanderbilt.edu/academics/m_eng/CPS/index.php) 3 (https://www.findamasters.com/masters-degrees/computer-science/?1002&Keywords=cyber-physical+systems).

How many colleges are planning to teach 'Clould Manufacturing' along with MBA degree in manufacturing process management (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_process_management)? For that matter any of cloud technology like 'Cloud Farming', 'Cloud Mobility' etc?

A degree can also be introduced in 'Wearable Technology' 1 (https://www.findamasters.com/masters-degrees/?Keywords=wearable+technology) 2 (https://kinesiology.ucalgary.ca/future-students/graduates/our-programs/wearable) 3 (https://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/wearable-technologies-and-internet-things).

There was a proposal to have 'additive manufacturing cluster' in Coastal Karnataka belt I think Tulunadu colleges should plan to introduce a degree in 'Additive Manufacturing' 1 (https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3d-printing-uni-degrees-201120174/#!) 2 (https://www.findamasters.com/masters-degrees/?Keywords=additive+manufacturing) (3D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing)/4D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4D_printing) printing).

NITK: Online national conference on Industry 4.0 (epaper.udayavani.com/ArticlePage/APpage.php?edn=Manipal&articleid=UVANI_SSMG_20200723_4_7&artwidth=181px)

I want India to move directly to Industry 5.0 without passing through risky Industry 4.0. Why & how questions I may try to explore answers in 'Whether technology can help to overcome the crisis? - Post-2' of 'COVID-19 Issues & Best Practices' thread and further may be in globalization x localization posts later. Nothing wrong in teaching Industry 4.0 as Industry 5.0 (or Society 5.0 (https://www.keidanren.or.jp/en/policy/2018/095_booklet.pdf)) is further enhancement of it and most importantly aiming to harness these technologies to meet sustainable development goals (https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals.html) (SDGs (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/)).

I forgot to add 'Health Cloud' to the list of cloud technology. Anyway many colleges of Tulunadu have started teaching healthcare informatics already.

...

As a preparation for 'Society 5.0' & SDG we may introduce these educational degrees

Overall possibilities for environmental/ecological informatics seems to be bleak in India - APD Foundation urges union government to modify new environment policy (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=740847). But requirements may raise in developed coutries to pursue sustainable development goals.

Human Resource and Skill Requirement Study for 21 Coastal Districts of India: Dakshin Kannada & Udupi (http://sagarmala.gov.in/sites/default/files/Karnataka_Final_Report_18_July.pdf)

When will the government construct an Infrastructure and Port Management Institute similar to "Adani Institute of Infrastructure Management" (identified in the document above) in Tulunadu? The document also identifies needs for training in Smart City, Construction, Port & Maritime, Tourism & Hospitality, Sustainable Fishing and Safety, IT-ITES, Aviation. I think need for fishing skill development centre is adderessed under smart city project. I don't know why people are so fond of aviation; how many jobs are there in this sector? Udupi has identified many more reasonable training requirements.

Main focus of Society 5.0 is Data Science (data economy/society/environment or data-driven economy/society/environment) along with other technological advancements. Economics, Society, Environment/Ecology and everything else will be controlled by simulational/computational modeling 1 (https://www.amazon.in/Computational-Economics-introduction-Routledge-Advanced-ebook/dp/B014KS5ZTS) 2 (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/applied-computational-economics-and-finance) 3 (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319954646) 4 (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/computational-and-mathematical-modeling-in-the-social-sciences/019FFD2E12B597720DE53E882787FD96) 5 (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/computational-social-science/FB97BD1704D957183899DE120BEE2E4B) 6 (https://cress.soc.surrey.ac.uk/s4ss/) 7 (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319201696) 8 (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-handbook-of-computational-psychology/B75504CC151DA86CB98D555C96FC55A2) 9 (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9789401786416) 10 (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4614-5311-6) 11 (https://www.amazon.in/Computational-Ecology-Artificial-Networks-Applications/dp/9814282626) 12 (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783790816402), analysis and passing on new knowledge (generated by artificial intelligence) to humans/societies/governments to take final decision using their wisdom (in a few cases like mobility/manufacturing, vehicles/plants will have autonomous control - cloud mobility (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobility_as_a_service), cloud manufacturing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_manufacturing)) - stochastic adaptive/optimal control/administration/governance. I have already listed a big list of informatics needed by Tulunadu or Mangaluru in this thread itself (page 18 (https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=136186&page=18) post #353 (https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7975992&postcount=353)). All these subjects on informatics are needed for Society 5.0 or achieving SDGs using efficient digital techniques. More is in the post 'Whether technology can help to overcome the crisis? - Post-2 (https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9091649&postcount=72)' of 'COVID-19 Issues & Best Practices' thread on page #4 (https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=242207&page=4).

Managaluru Smart City Command Control Centre is now used as a command & control centre for the entire district. We can continue doing this. Economical, social, environmental/ecological, educational, agricultural, manufacturing, marine and other data of the entire district can be analyzed here and actions can be taken. Similarly we need command and control centres in other districts of Tulunadu (& Malenadu, Kodagu, Uttara Kannada etc) 1 (https://epaper.hosadigantha.com/epaper/edition/2851/mangaluru/page/2) 2 (https://www.udayavani.com/english-news/manipal-udupi-malpe-to-be-smart-cities-soon).

Political games: Mangaluru limping in Smart City project (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=755511)

Mangaluru, Sep 27: In the last four years, only seven projects worth Rs 10.62 crore have been completed under the Smart city project of this city.

Though Rs 301 crore grant has been released for the development of this city as Smart City, only Rs 41.43 crore have been spent so far. Out of the 47 projects planned, only seven are completed. Another 26 projects estimated to cost Rs 558.78 crore are in progress. Four projects costing Rs 81 crore are in the tender stage. Five projects worth Rs 259.54 crore are in the CPR stage.

He said that buses moving on State Bank-Car Street-Kudroli-Mannagudda route have to move via clock tower, Hampankatta, K S Rao Road, Navbharat Circle, Dongerkery Road, New Chitra Junction and move towards Mannagudda. Movement of heavy goods vehicles traffic coming towards Navbharat Circle from New Chitra Junction has been banned.


Why not MCC widen a direct road from RR Circle to New Chitra?

MSCL Managing Director Mohammed Nazeer said that the 1.8-km-long old pipeline line will be replaced at a cost of Rs. 3 crore, which includes the cost of constructing manholes. The concrete road will be laid at a cost of Rs. 9 crore. After restoring traffic movement on the stretch, MSCL will take up the work of beautification at a cost of Rs. 4.95 crore, he said.

QR Code Based House to House Garbage Collection Begins at Mangaluru Smart City (https://www.theweek.in/wire-updates/business/2020/10/08/pwr8-mangaluru-smart-city.html)

The Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL) has recently begun the implementation of its QR code-based Solid Waste Management System (SWMS), which is set to cover all the 60 wards of Mangaluru, in a phased manner. The first-of-its kind system will increase the efficiency of solid waste management in the city multi-fold.

The first phase of SWMS will cover 88,000 houses - so far 5,000 houses have been installed with the QR codes. The commissioning of QR codes for the rest of the houses is expected to be completed by the end of November.

The smart garbage collection system will help the City Corporation track the movement of the garbage vehicles, monitor the status of the garbage collection, provide provisions for the public to record complaints about garbage collection. The door-to-door primary garbage vehicles will scan the QR codes displayed at the gates of the houses, while collecting the garbage. The vehicles will then transfer the garbage to the secondary garbage vehicles and from there the garbage will be sent to the dumping yard.

The QR code installed at houses can also be extended for other public services such as payment of electricity bills, property tax, and phone bills, among others.

Mangaluru Smart City will be one of the first smart cities in Karnataka to go live. Many major IoT and technology-enabled solutions like monitoring city bus transport with Intelligent Transport Management System, disaster management & emergency response, air quality of the city using environmental sensors, city surveillance, variable message system; public address system, geographical information system, and One Touch Mangaluru portal are already deployed and are functioning 24x7. The Integrated Command and Control Centers (ICCC) of Mangaluru Smart City, a major component of the smart city project, is already being used as a war room for the administrators to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.


So, after goods, humans/animals now houses also have QR code or aadhaar card! Where should be QR code be placed? Currently, those houses connected to main road through a walking lane keep waste bags in main road itself. Some also use backdoor to keep waste on road behind their house. They may have to stick QR code everywhere. What are the ways waste collectors have to evade scanning requirements? Can't these QR codes be scanned directly from a book instead of visiting houses? How nice if we had a way of changing QR code dynamically now and then.

City plans development of 12km-long bicycle lane (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=762112)

The 12 km-long route that has been identified for being developed as a bicycle lane will have to be upgraded to make it fit for bicycle riding. At many places the surface at the road is uneven. Wherever the road-roller can reach, the lane will have to be levelled with the help of tar.

Not only the currently proposed bicycle lane, but even mention of bicycle lanes is also made in the riverfront plan in the city. There will be a bicycle docking station for the tourists which is to be built. The tourists can take the bicycles and move on the riverfront road lane, taking a view of the beach etc, if the project materialises.

Whether new cases are of traceable contacts or untraceable contacts (issue cases)? What is the ratio of traceable to untraceable? I hope administration is strictly checking contacts now to give Covid-19 eradication a finishing touch. This is very critical.

Winter is dealyed, so we may have a few more days available to control.

Mega sea food parks proposed in two coastal districts (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/mega-sea-food-parks-proposed-in-two-coastal-districts/article32999287.ece)

Mega sea food parks, which provide facilities for processing fish food, their preservation and value addition, will come up in Dakshina Kannada and Uttara Kannada under the Pradhan Mantri Matsaya Sampada Yojana, said Minister for Fisheries, Ports, Inland Water Transport and Muzrai Kota Srinivasa Poojary here on Sunday.

Speaking at the Rajyotsava celebrations at the Nehru Maidan, Mr. Poojary said that each food park will be set up at an the estimated cost of ₹ 100 crore. He told reporters later that a search is on for identifying land. “We are looking on 80 acres of land in Niddodi near Moodbidri and also a place in Puttur taluk for the park in Dakshina Kannada. It will be finalised in another 20 days,” he said.

Mr. Poojary said apart from fish processing units, each mega food park will have cold storage facility and mechanisms for preparing value added products. “Only wealthy fishermen have these facilities now. At these food parks, small time fishermen can make use of the cold storage facilities,” he said.

The Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has appealed to the Additional Director General of Foreign Trade (ADGFT) to initiate measures to set up a Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) approved fish and fisheries product testing and certification lab to boost exports from Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts and the surrounding areas of Karnataka under the district export plan.

...

Further, KCCI President said that the Fisheries College in Mangaluru has given in-principle approval for allotting space for setting up the Lab in Mangaluru. ...

Processing park

The Karnataka government is also proposing a fish processing park in Mangaluru. In such a situation, the testing and certification of the export products should be done without much loss of time to maintain the value chain of the products exported.

KCCI presses for MPEDA approved lab (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/kcci-presses-for-mpeda-approved-lab/articleshow/79215374.cms)

The nearest approved lab is at Kochi. The exporters from this region have to send their samples to Kochi to get their product tested, which causes a delay of around six working days. At times, the test results are available after 10 working days. Due to these delays, there is a block on working capital for the industry as the exporter cannot export the product on a timely basis.


Sea food park on land for medical college opposed (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/sea-food-park-on-land-for-medical-college-opposed/article33097934.ece) 2 (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karnataka-edition/karavali/karavali-puttur-belthangady/puttur-medical-college-space-issue-the-pro-opposition-debate) 3 (https://vijaykarnataka.com/news/mangaluru/the-government-that-allocated-the-space-earmarked-for-the-medical-college-to-sea-food-park-in-puttur/articleshow/79219297.cms)

A public notice by the Bannur Gram Panchayat in Puttur about allotment of 40 acres of land for a proposed sea food park in the area has been opposed by people and activists. ... This land had been reserved for a proposed Government Medical College. ...

People in Bannur oppose sea food park project (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/people-in-bannur-oppose-sea-food-park-project/article33128484.ece)

The letter said that setting up of the sea food park on reserved land surrounded by many houses could lead to environmental issues. Sea food parks should be set up in available land close to sea shore.

If the park came up at Bannur, which is about 60 km away from Mangaluru, it will lead to transportation and traffic issues, the letter said.

ಸೀಫುಡ್ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಯೋಜನೆ ಕೈ ಬಿಡದಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ‘ಚಲೋ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಅಭಿಯಾನ’; ಹೋರಾಟಗಾರರ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಕೆ..! (https://vijaykarnataka.com/news/mangaluru/if-the-sea-food-park-project-is-not-abandoned-then-we-will-launch-the-chalo-puttur-campaign-muneer-katipalla-warns-to-govt/articleshow/79317127.cms)

Anyway, Puttur is not a convenient place for sea food park. When more than 40 acres land is available in Canara Industrial Area much near to ports why one should go to Puttur? Canara Industrial Area is more suitable for transportation through Netravati waterways; the government can construct a inland/river port on Netravati and create logistics for industries there to directly transport fishes from boats to industries. But I think if an area identified before proposed Adyar dam on Netravati itself then waterway transportation can be easily done (for fish transportation from sea and finished product transportation to seaport and airport through Gurupur & Netravati rivers and sea). But as per latest news Niddodi may also be finalized for the sea food park.

Work on the City Gas Distribution system for Mangaluru City too was under progress and some areas of the city were likely to get piped gas supply by the end of the year, he said. While MCF, the lone chemical fertiliser manufacturer in Karnataka uses about 0.85 million standard cubic metres per day (MSCMD) LNG, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd., and ONGC Mangalore Petrochemicals Ltd., were likely to offload another 0.6 MSCMD from the end of this month, Mr. Jain said. Distribution of LNG as an auto fuel was likely to coincide with the supply of city gas distribution in Mangaluru, he added.

Summa: Coastal Karnataka districts are expecting economic boom through blue economy. Blue economy policy is expected to give boost to ocean environment through sustainable exploitation of ocean assets covering areas like water transportation, marine tourism, marine biotechnology, seawater desalination plants, offshore oil & gas exploration, coastal roads, deepsea fisheries, cage culture, seaweed farming, offshore wind power plants, ship building & repair, waste management, marine biodiversity.

Even Udayavani news daily which talks on everything else has not published any article on this demand from the region! Now is also not late to raise voice for this and associated CIMDET (Central Institute of Medical Devices Engineering and Technology).

I think bodies like KCCI should focus more on Medical Devices Park which is decided by politicians rather than Tesla which is a private decision.

With the opening of the Centre on Saturday, the Dharmasthala institute will be the first in the country to be recognised by the Ministry. The COE status would offer the college help to establish the research centre, procurement of equipment for laboratories, treatment wing, and a 60-bed hospital for three years along with manpower.

'Shifting of RAF campus from Mangaluru to Bhadravati shows inefficiency of MP': Munir Katipalla (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=792244)

I think they wanted to locate RAF somewhere so to deploy troops across Karnataka swiftly. That is fine except that Hassan would have been a better place for movement of RAF troops to either Mangaluru or the parched city as highway is better. Other option was Davanagere for movement across north and south. Other disadvantage of location is it does not have an airport. Mostly the nepotist politician did it to secure his son's seat rather than to secure Karnataka. Obviosuly whoever laid foundation there are not patriots but selfish. But, what I think, might have stolen the idea of agglomeration from us by stealing central university. We have to continue demanding for 'Marine Forensics College' from the centre. Since we have an MP who is less useful to Tulundadu more useful to the parched city we may not even get this. And now we have got a minister also and let us whether he will serve Tulunadu or not.

Urumbi area in Kadaba taluk of Dakshina Kannada has a fragile environmental system and is located on the banks of the river Kumaradhara. There was a move by a private company to set up a 24 MW hydroelectric power project across the river in the same area a decade ago. But environmental activists, including Kumaradhara Parisara Samrakshana Samiti and Vruksha Laksha Andolana, launched a series of agitations against it and ensured that the project did not come to fruition. The Centre for Ecological Sciences, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, too had recommended that the project be shelved.

Karnataka to get its first chocolate park (https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/karnataka-to-get-its-first-chocolate-park/articleshow/80239562.cms)

However, since we were getting a lot of calls from the people to know more about chocolates, we decided to open the state’s first chocolate park. This park will not only give visitors a taste of chocolates but will also enhance their knowledge about their favourite treat. The chocolate park has been approved by the CAMPCO board and they are now scouting for consultants to execute it.

Kodgi said that currently, they are building a huge godown (to store cacao, arecanut and pepper) spread over 2.5 acres at a cost of Rs 30 crore while the chocolate park will cost Rs 3 to Rs 4 crore. The chocolate park will also have other features like artificial falls, a theme park and other facilities.

First chocolate park to come up in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka (https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/first-chocolate-park-come-dakshina-kannada-district-karnataka-141593)

President of CAMPCO, Kishore Kumar Kodgi, said, “A lot of people go to places like Mahabaleshwar, Ooty and other places to experience the making of chocolate. We wanted to create something like that here in Karnataka. There’s a small hilltop nearby which is a popular tourist spot called Hanuman betta. On their way there, people can stop and take a look at the making of the chocolate, experiencing the taste of freshly made chocolate. Because of regulations placed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), we cannot entertain guests. Our main intention behind the creation of the park is to not only show people how chocolates are made but to give them a memorable journey.”

Out of the Rs 35,780 crore capex for the airport business, the company intends to spend Rs 14,249 crore on the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports and about Rs 15,000 crore on the other six under its control.


That means a maximum spending of Rs 2,000 crores in five years timeline can be expected by Mangaluru but it could be even below Rs. 1,000 crores since Mangaluru was bidded lowest. But, we don't know whether developing Mangaluru airport fast and earning more is the strategy. For this to happen, other investments should also happen in Mangaluru quickly.

Foundation stone was laid for the construction of coastal berth – a jetty for domestic commercial cargo ships – at the Old Mangaluru Port on Monday. The construction is being taken up under the Sagarmala scheme at a cost of Rs. 65 crore with the Union government contributing Rs. 25 crore and the State government Rs. 40 crore.

This new berth will have, among others, a commercial wharf, double-lane approach road, passenger lounge, two warehouse buildings, and a facility to dredge. The berth would accommodate 70 cargo vessels up to 5,000 tonne capacity. The new berth is likely to be ready in three years.

Foundation stone was also laid for the capital dredging at the Bengre side of the Old Mangaluru Port, which is estimated at Rs. 29 crore. It is proposed to dredge for 7 meters from the Bar Mouth to the Main Commercial Channel and 5 meters at the North Wharf.

In the case of New Mangalore Port, already it has begun the process of private management by handing over berth No. 15 for coal handling to UPCL which is now with Adani Group. Berth No 16 and 14 are managed by JSW where containers, coal and cement are among the things handled. Reliable sources say that the port here has been asked to get transformed into the new model by the year 2024. All services will have to be given on contract basis and the management will be just outsourcing services and collecting the dividend.


20 storage tanks to be built across Mangaluru to supply drinking water (https://daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay?newsID=800414)

Mangaluru, Feb 11: Jalasiri Scheme, in order to supply modern technology-based drinking water to the residents of the city, is being implemented with the aid of ADB (Asian Development Bank) across 20 parts of the city.

Two huge, two-storey water storage tanks with a storage capacity of 10 lac liters will be constructed near Officers' Club of Ladyhill and at Bala. 35 cents land is identified to build storage tanks near Ladyhill. With the construction of this tank, the drinking water issues of the citizens of Chilimbi and Ashoknagar will be resolved. At Bala, the water storage tank is intended to be built on 75 cents land belonging to KUWSDB. Eight intermediate pumps will be constructed in different parts of the city in order to regulate continuous supply of drinking water to the residents of the city.

The proposed water storage tanks will be built near Nandigudda grounds, Udayanagara, Kodipadi, Nehru Maidan, Amritnagar at Tiruvailu, Shaktinagar (near the current GLSR), Maryhill (GLSR that is vacant now), Krishnapura (near government school), Morgans Gate (near Mangalore Club), Meenakaliya near Panambur, Cemetery at Kankanady Valencia, Kunjathbail, Santhoshnagar at Pacchanady, near NITK (near the tank that is already functioning), Nekkilagudda near Lohithnagara, Holyhill at Jayanagar, near J M Road at Bajal, Kana near Kulai, M V Shetty College near Kavoor and Kodikal.

Two water purifying plants will be set up at Thumbay. A new 20 MLD capacity water treatment plant and backwash treatment plant will be built at Ramalkatte near Thumbay vented dam. At present there are two water purifying plants of 80 MLD capacity that were built in 1971.

Huge amount of water is getting leaked at present when supplying water from Thumbay dam to the overhead tank. MCC officials failed to contain this leakage. Now it has been decided to install 181 bulk flow meters from Thumbay Jackwell to the overhead tank. This will help in tracking the exact areas of leakage. It will be assessed through the electronic device whether the same amount of water that is pumped from Thumbay reaches the overhead tank or not. Officials said that 96,300 water connections are identified in the city and there is an aim of upgrading the water distribution network also.

The new facility could facilitate train crossing, receiving and dispatching, says forum

With terminal constraints at Mangaluru Central and Mangaluru Junction railway stations to receive and dispatch new trains under Southern Railway, Farangipet was the most suitable station for development. The Railways has over 30 acres of land around Farangipet that could be exploited to its full potential by constructing a station building with three lines and maintenance facilities enabling train crossing, receiving and dispatching, he said.

South Western Railway had also ordered survey of land around Farangipet, Yedamangala and Kaniyur stations for their development in 2019, he said.

The tunnel route will pass through Addahole, Gundia, Yedakumeri, Kadagaravalli and Marnahalli. It will have six tunnels and ten bridges. Cost of the project had been estimated at Rs 10,015 crore seven years ago, and now it might be about Rs 12,000 crore. Japan International Cooperative Agency (JICA) had prepared the detailed project report of the project. Previously JICA was planned to partner the project, but now the tunnel will be part of the ambitious Sagar Mala project of the government with technical support from Japan.

... There is proposal to convert Mangaluru-Bengaluru national highway into express highway and the tunnel will supplement the progress of the region.

About 50 commercial complexes in the city, which have utilised space allotted for parking for commercial purposes have been identified.

Accordingly, on Balmatta Road, provision has been made for parking of two-wheelers on New Balmatta Road adjacent to Ambedkar Circle.

At Surathkal Junction, on the road leading to MRPL from Surathkal Junction to Primary Health Centre, provision has been made for parking vehicles on the roadside. Due to heavy vehicular movement, three places at Padavinangady Junction had been identified as no parking zones.

The existing no parking zone from Hampankatta Road to PM Rao Road Cross, from Karnataka Bank to Navabharat Circle and from Besant Cross to Empire Mall was examined. It is now notified that starting from Hampankatta to PVS Circle and from there further along MG Road up to Ballal Bagh Cross, there will be no parking on either side of the road.

The no parking notification from Kudmul Rangarao Road to Court Road along the left side of the road has been examined. A stretch of 20 metres on the left side of this road and a stretch of 200 metres along the right side of this road have been declared as no parking zones.

The parking system from KB Katte up to Ganapathy High School has been modified. The left side of the road from KB Katte up to Janatha Bazaar has been notified as no parking zone while the existing notification for rest of the road has been continued without any change.

The road starting from the direction of Karavali Circle, i.e., from Kalpana Road I Dross up to Unity Hospital, had been identified as no parking zone. In the revised notification, the road leading from Karavali Circle to up to I Cross Vas Lane only has been notified as no parking zone. As the road from I Cross Vas Lane up to Unity Hospital is sufficiently wide, the earlier no parking notification for this stretch has been withdrawn, he said.


What action is taken against unauthorized modification of footpath? What action is taken against buildings digging newly constructed footpaths to create slopes to create illegal parking?

Rao said aligning the tracks with the proposed tunnel would reduce the time by over three hours for train journey and reduce the cost too. It would be a win-win situation for the commuters and goods movement too, he added.


Should it be two tier transportation line? But I think railway needs lesser slope than road so it would be a longer tunnel that could be done later also so that the road tunnel works can commence now without delay if issue of environment effects on western ghats is addressed properly.

Mangaluru was growing at least in one sector. Now the government wants to curtail that also. Why they compare everything here to the parched city? Does Mangaluru have unsustainable population like the parched city? Isn't it good if pupil move here and study so that at least floating population grows here? The government plan seems to be turn all rivers east wards, spoil western ghat instead of allowing the growth of coastal region to enable sustainable growth of Karnataka. At least allow city to grow to a population of around 20 lakhs before imposing such harnesses.

Strategy is to stop growth of Mangaluru and force educational entrepreneurs who what open medical colleges here to move to the parched region surrounding the parched city!

By the way, how many institutes in Mangaluru don't have separate infrastructure for each department or course?

Urging the need to create higher quality skills among students, he said many engineering colleges are yet to focus on courses in big data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, he said.

He asked the participants of the virtual meet to make sure that the coastal Karnataka becomes the hub of entrepreneurship and at least 20-30 unicorns come out of the coast by 2030.

Instill culture of entrepreneurship in coastal region: T V Mohandas Pai (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/instill-culture-of-entrepreneurship-in-coastal-region-t-v-mohandas-pai/articleshow/80884519.cms)

A common platform in the form of a consortium of universities and other stakeholders should be developed. Conducting grand challenges through consortiums can create larger impacts. University courses must focus on developing high-quality skills and hands-on experiences, he said.

A structured implementation of these measures will result in more than ten unicorns from coastal Karnataka in the next ten years, Pai said. These measures will also ensure that youth of the region get employment in their place and are not forced to migrate to overcrowded metropolitan cities in search of a career, he said. Entrepreneurial units coming up n the region will also facilitate emergence of the coast as an economic hub, he noted.


Okay have 10 unicorns at the earliest. Let Karnataka government then bring a new rule saying no more than 10 unicorns in the parched city and Mangaluru to have balanced growth across Karnataka.

But, instead of this underpass I would have prefered underpasses at Hampankatta, Jyothi circle, Bunts circle, PVS circle etc. Why this underpass prioritized over others needs an explanation. Anyway you can not blame the current government exclusively as it is continuing the proposal of the previous government.

Speaking at a function organised to lay the foundation stone for four-laning the 2-km-long State highway stretch at Malavoor, Mr. Kateel said legislators alone cannot work for the development; people needed to cooperate too. Legal obstacles, he said, have hampered the execution of some development works in the district.

“The Addahole-B.C. Road [road widening] work has been affected because of issues concerning the forest. Legal problems have brought works under the (Mangaluru) Smart City project to a halt. If the district has to develop, people should cooperate,” he said.

There will be provision for pedestrians to walk on the new dam before the monsoons. The work will be completed and inaugurated by end of December," said.

"Large vehicles are not permitted on the bridge. The distance for villagers who want to travel to Mangaluru will be reduced by 25 kilometres," he informed. "Around 18.7 million cusecs of water can be stored in the barrage. Water can be supplied from here to the city when it is exhausted in Thumbe. Tourism in Harekal will develop as people will come to see the dam. Boat rides and breeding of fish will also be possible," Khader added.

The MLA asked the college students to observe the work and urged them to study these structures. "There is a Jackwell tank at Sajipamunnur, treatment plant at Kamblapadav, water tank worth Rs 60 lac at Chembugudde etc. A proposal of Rs 280 crore has been submitted to the government for a new pipeline in the village. We are confident that the proposal will be approved. Tanks under the Jal Jeevan mission will be constructed at several places," he said.

MCC team to inspect land for IT Park at Bondel Junction (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mangaluru/mcc-team-to-inspect-land-ideal-for-it-park-at-bondel-junction-946412.html)

The MCC will initiate the process of acquiring land from the owner of the land only if the team is satisfied that the land is suitable for the IT Park. A proposal to acquire 9.4 acres of private land for the purpose through TDR by the city corporation was mooted by Mangaluru City North MLA Dr Y Bharath Shetty. If the site was found suitable for the project, the MCC will send a proposal to the government for approval, said Mayor Diwakar.

MLA Bharath Shetty, in his proposal to MCC, had said, “About 9.4 acres of land, owned by Rohan Monteiro, was available on survey number 81-2 (p) and 81-3 (p) in Marakada village near Bondel Junction. The owner of the land has given approval for the acquisition of the land by providing transferable development rights (TDR).”


KEONICS Board gives approval to medium size IT Park in city (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/keonics-board-gives-approval-to-medium-size-it-park-in-city/article33755577.ece)

Chairman of KEONICS Harikrishna Bantwal told The Hindu that following the approval of the board recently, KEONICS, on Wednesday, asked an agency to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the purpose. The agency authorities will inspect the project site on February 18 before finalising the report. It has been proposed to set up the park on 3.25 acres of land owned by KEONICS on public-private partnership (PPP) model.

“An investor has shown interest in developing the park,” he said.

Innovation conclave

Mr. Bantwal said that as a measure to promote investments in the Mangaluru region, a Mangaluru Innovation Conclave, will be organised in the city on February 24 ...

Mr. Bantwal, who is the 38th chairman of KEONICS, said that KEONICS has also plans to develop a large electronics city in Mangaluru in memory of R.K. Baliga, who was the first chairman of KEONICS and who set up Electronics City in Bengaluru. Late Baliga hailed from Bantwal. It might require about 40 acres at one place. Efforts are on to take this initiative forward.


So, for IT Park, it is not 9.4 acres of land, owned by Rohan Monteiro.

Develop Electronics City near proposed RGHUS campus on dental research centre if to focus on Dental/Medical Electronics. Later we should plan for SWAC based Electronics City when SWAC and subsea data centres become fashion.

Look at this drama also - ‘Invest in tier 2 cities’ (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/invest-in-tier-2-cities/article33755416.ece). The state government wants to develop a business park near the parched city and then this drama. The central government has already declared a huge infrastructure spending in budget on this land mafia city already! Why not the minister tries for a business park at least in his own city?

New map for beach tourism expected to arrive in March (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay?newsID=804715)

If the map is made according to the new notification of 2019, it may benefit tourism and the fishermen of the coastal region. At present there is no provision to construct any structure on beaches. State government was objecting this fact as tourism cannot be developed for the same region. However, as soon as the new map arrives there will be opportunity to build certain structures in Goa style. Already 10 beaches including Someshwara, Panambur, Idya, Tannirbhavi, Surathkal, Sasihitlu and Bengre are notified and sent to the authority. There will be scope for development of these beaches once the new map.

Development of tourism, culture, waste management is priority: Minister CP Yogeshwara (https://www.newskarnataka.com/mangalore/development-of-tourism-culture-waste-management-is-priority-minister-cp-yogeshwara)

International surfing competitions will be held at Sasithlu beach in the Dakshina Kannada district and attract tourists from all over the country and abroad. A grant of Rs.10.00 crores has been sanctioned by the Government for carrying out surfing school & clubhouse works. The District Collector has been instructed to start work swiftly with CRZ clearance.

Steps will be taken to develop the infrastructure required for tourists including connecting roads, toilets, high mask lights to Thelapadi, Panambur, Chitrapur, Suratkal, Someshwara, Ulla, Thannirubhavi beaches, on the lines of International Blue flag recognized Beaches like Padubidre and Kasarakodu.

Steps will be taken to provide necessary facilities to Mudubidre, popularly known as Jaina Kashi, and develop as a religious tourist circle to attract foreign and country-foreign tourists to Jain temples in the state.


310 km long coastal belt by seaplane proposal submitted to centre (http://www.uniindia.com/310-km-long-coastal-belt-by-seaplane-proposal-submitted-to-centre/south/news/2331059.html)
Karnataka sends seaplane proposal to Centre (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/karnataka-sends-seaplane-proposal-to-centre-956340.html)

A proposal for a tourist circuit to connect the state’s 320-km long coastal belt by seaplane has been submitted to the Centre, Minister for Tourism, Ecology and Environment C P Yogeeshwara said on Saturday.

Yogeeshwara said that to promote tourism in the coastal belt, infrastructure for landing of yachts needs to be developed.

Yogeeshwara said that to promote tourism in the coastal belt, infrastructure for landing of yachts needs to be developed. He said a heli tourism service will be launched in Mysuru shortly and stressed on a similar service in Mangaluru for foreign tourists arriving by cruise ships so that they can visit Lakshadweep and other tourist destinations from Mangaluru.

“Cruise passengers stay only for eight to nine hours in Mangaluru. If their stay is extended to two to three days by providing them with facilities, then we can chalk out programmes to introduce local culture and tourist spots in and around Mangaluru,” he said.

He said relaxation of CRZ rules will be sought on the lines of Kerala and Goa to promote tourism. Further, he said tax on tourist taxis was high in Karnataka compared to Kerala and Tamil Nadu. “I will bring the issue to notice of the chief minister,” he said. The minister said the Tourism Policy 2020 will be implemented from April.

He said backwaters in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts will be used to promote sports which in turn will generate jobs and boost tourism. The 20-km stretch of Gurupura river backwaters will be developed on the lines of Alappuzha in Kerala. Priority will be given for promotion of eco tourism in Tannirbavi in Mangaluru. He said the government needs to promote Mangaluru as a brand and explore the potential in health tourism, religious tourism, eco tourism and local tourism.

“We need to develop a circuit to promote temple tourism in the district,” he said.


"infrastructure for landing of yachts" is already proposed under Smart City as Rs 78 crore Marina. Why nothing is done so far regarding it?

Professor and Dean of the college A. Senthil Vel said on the occasion that the college will have a tie-up with the National Institute of Technology-Karnataka (NITK) at Surathkal for introducing AI technology in aquaculture. The private sector has applied AI technology in aquaculture in a small way. But it has been rarely tried out in the government sector.

“It will be a first-of-its-kind collaboration in the country where a premier engineering institute will have a tie-up with the fisheries sector,” he said.

The use of AI technology will help reduce manpower to manage the aquaculture farm. “We will have quality check at every stage,” he said and added that the use of AI will be like an automation in managing the farm.

Speaking at a technical session at ‘Mangaluru Innovation Conclave’, K Prakash Rao, Chairman of the Mangaluru chapter of CII, said there is a need to set up innovation facilitation centres in places like Mangaluru where universities must ensure their students are trained to think out of the box.

Stressing the need for the creation of a ‘problems bank’, he said, universities must allow students to brainstorm every weekend using the ‘problems bank’. Such a move would help bring out brilliant solutions to solve some of the toughest problems of the city.

I don't think enough shallow sea is available in Mangaluru hence deep sea seaweed cultivation techniques can be tried out but may be costly.The saline river/backwater hinterland near sea can be tried out for shallow water seaweed cultivation. The last two videos listed here show seaweeds hanging in ropes which are kept floating by buoyants so that plants are exposed to enough sunlight available at the surface layer of sea water in case of deep sea seaweed cultivation. 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AJxO7LHxg4) 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYnGAAU-05Y) 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Y8KF-yCBQ) 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3zlloRFC8g) 5 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w68Tdm7TwVU).

Finally, we have to produce seaweed based bioplastic ropes & buoys which should be easy to recyle.

We can also explore possible usage of seaweed & seagrass for medicines 1 (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-3397/19/2/89/htm) 2 (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-3397/18/2/88) 3 (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22129224/) 4 (https://scialert.net/fulltext/?doi=jbs.2019.363.371) 5 (https://www.freepressjournal.in/health/can-seaweed-help-fight-deadly-viruses-like-covid-19). This (https://www.wbur.org/earthwhile/2021/02/16/maine-startup-carbon-kelp) is also interesting.

Entrepreneurs can also explore the possibilities of growing seaweeds in Lakshadweep for further processing here.

But I think the coast of Mangaluru taluk is more suitable for SWAC, subsea data center etc. We should explore more this possibility.

The Minister said that earlier it had been proposed to develop the park on a public-private-partnership (PPP) model. Since no private party has come forward to develop it, now it has been decided to develop the park through the KEONICS. S.N. Siddaramappa, Managing Director, KEONICS, said that a detailed project report (DPR) on the proposed project will be submitted to the government soon for its approval. It would require about ₹60-crore investment to construct the building at the proposed site and about two years are required to complete it.

Mangaluru is identified as a prominent emerging IT cluster: Dy CM (https://www.udayavani.com/english-news/mangaluru-is-identified-as-a-prominent-emerging-it-cluster-dy-cm)

Mangaluru has been identified as the emerging technology cluster which includes the districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada, and Kodagu and this process will be accelerated with appropriate measures, he said.

Mangaluru will emerge also as the startup hub apart from becoming an IT hub and the government is taking required measures towards that end, he said, adding that the city has also been considered as a prominent cluster with regard to ESDM (electronic system and design management) and this is a prominent zone in the beyond Bengaluru region.

Mangaluru to be next big IT cluster in Karnataka: Deputy CM Ashwath Narayan (https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/mangaluru-be-next-big-it-cluster-karnataka-deputy-cm-ashwath-narayan-144139)

"We have identified the port city of Mangaluru as the next IT and IT e-service industry cluster as per 'Beyond Bengaluru' policy in the state," said Narayan at the 'Mangaluru Innovation Conclave' here.

"Mangaluru will also emerge as the next start-up hub in the state after Bengaluru as part of the IT cluster, which will include the adjacent districts of Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu and Uttar Kannada along the coast," said Narayan, who holds the portfolio of IT, BT and Science and Technology.

With Infosys software development park in the port city, Manipal Institute of Technology near Udupi and state-run National Institute of Technology (NIT) at Surathkal near Mangaluru in Dakshina Kannada district, the state plans to develop the region as the IT cluster for software and hardware development.

"We are taking steps to set up an Electronic System and Design Management (ESDM) centre in this city along with Central Instrumentation Facility to attract investments and generate hundreds of jobs," said Narayan in his address at the day-long conclave here.

I think this news is published in the maximum number of news sites so far regarding Mangaluru IT Park (http://www.keonics.in/english/ITInfra?cat=Ng==).

Whether 35,000 jobs will be generated by 3.5 acres IT Park costing around Rs 60 crore? Or after adding extra 4 acres with extra cost? IT/BT Park will be of how many floors height?

Central Instrumentation Facility 1 (https://www.lpu.in/cif/) 2 (https://manipal.edu/mu/important-links/centres-mahe/cif.html) 3 (https://iitpkd.ac.in/central-instrumentation-facility) 4 (https://www.bitmesra.ac.in/Show_Other_Department?cid=1&deptid=190) is planned for what type of research and innovation works? In which domains? Whether ESDM is supported also at RGHUS Dental Research Centre in dental domain?

10,000 acres land bank for what? First come up with 1,000 acres land bank. First of all complete Plastic Park, CIPET, NIELIT, Indian Coast Guard Training Academy, IT Park, Special Agricultural Zone with Central University (Agriculture). Next try for Medical Devices Park (Note that Mangaluru has a better economic agglomeration scenario for Medical Devices Park compared to many of proposed cities 1 (https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/medical-devices/govts-go-ahead-for-4-medical-device-parks/71995708) 2 (https://medicaldialogues.in/news/industry/medical-devices/govt-to-set-up-first-medical-device-park-medspark-in-kerala-69840) 3 (https://yourstory.com/socialstory/2020/09/kerala-house-medical-device-park-medspark) with raw materials availability and even health sector knowledge. I hope KCCI will start demanding for this park soon). And then only 10,000 acres and blah blah blah ...

In the meantime, China launches underwater data center (https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/china-launches-underwater-data-center/) 2 (https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/analysis/project-natick-microsofts-underwater-voyage-discovery/). We also need to focus on underwater drones 1 (https://swarajyamag.com/defence/explained-why-china-is-deploying-underwater-drones-near-indian-ocean-choke-points) 2 (https://rusi.org/commentary/underwater-drone-incidents-point-china-expanding-intelligence-gathering) for ensuring coastal zone security. And should not forget SWAC 1 (https://www.azocleantech.com/news.aspx?newsID=28226) - application for food storage, hybrid SWAC & hydrogen, etc but there is a bad news of Plans for seawater air conditioning in Honolulu dropped (https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/12/28/hawaii-news/plans-for-sea-water-air-conditioning-dropped/).

By the way, anyone remember old plan of MSEZ to support IT industries?

High-Tech fish park (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay?newsID=805558)

Under the Coastal Development Authority, the department has planned to set up a High-Tech fish park in the city. The park will facilitate cold storage facility processing and packing of fish products. The fish park would come up near the Fisheries College.


Whether enough land is available near Fisheries College for fish park? (about 50 acres?)

As I said earlier, the government has to fix fee depending upon water availability of a region instead of uniform rates across the state if it is so now.

If this is first then where would be the second one? Why the MP is expressing gratitude to so many politicians? What is their individual contribution for shifting the academy to Mangaluru? How did these politicians over come pressure from the parched city real estate mafia to locate this academy in Mangaluru instead of the parched city itself? Still Mangaluru is one step behind Kannur as foundation is not yet laid even after so many years of talk. What about CIPET (integrated/clustered with Plastic Park), NIELIT, Central University for Agriculture? How many more times should we elect this MP to achieve this? I think he has promised more like Central University for Public Health etc. Let us see whether he would get at least a Government Medical College in DK as proposed by the union government for every district.

The UGC in its guidance document titled ‘good academic research practices’ released in September, 2020 said that the office of research integrity (ORI) must be an integral and permanent unit within the research infrastructure of an institution, where it plays a dual role of coach and enforcer. As a coach, the ORI encourages and enables a culture of research integrity and provides training. As enforcer, it monitors research activity for potential malfeasance and acts swiftly, with fairness and tact, when it notices or has instances of research misconduct brought to its attention.

It will be renamed as the Research Development Consultancy and Patent Cell. The cell will promote research activities, publication, filing for patents and intellectual property rights, and will try to get external funding for research. The cell will encourage teachers to take up consultancy work for industries with 50:50 revenue sharing model with the university.

Mr. Dharma said that the digital evaluation plan has been shelved mainly due to two reasons. The teachers indicated that as all eligible evaluators are not familiar with the new move, there could be delay in completing evaluation thus, leading to delay in the announcement of results.

Secondly, last month’s floods in Udupi and heavy rain in Kodagu have created issues in uninterrupted internet connectivity and power supply to digital evaluation centres identified in Udupi and Kodagu districts.

In addition, the government’s approval for the new move was awaited. Hence, the plan was dropped.


Why not Mangalore University train evaluators? Uninterrupted internet connectivity will be a issue which will not be solved in near future. Is it possible to do partial digital evaluation on trial basis?

Puttur MLA Sanjeeva Matandoor, on seeing the professionals attached to IT sector working from petty shops or bus shelters due to non-availability of internet signals inside their homes, is encouraging businessmen to launch co-working office spaces.

“If smaller cities upgrade themselves with IT support system system, it is definitely the best place to work — all sans traffic congestion. Government should encourage such projects in smaller towns across Karnataka,” Muliya said.

100 acres requested for industrial park

According to an estimate, more than 2,500 people from the taluk are working in the IT and related sectors, mostly in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, under Prime Minister’s Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, the MLA has requested the government for a 100-acre industrial park in Puttur.

Political games: Mangaluru limping in Smart City project (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=755511)

Isaac Vas, president of Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) says, "Works that are complementary to the development of the city are taken up by the administration. In addition, a proposal for an IT park at an estimated cost of Rs 60 crore at Derebail on 2 lac sq ft area is agreed upon."


Works worth Rs. 2,000 cr. to be taken up in Dakshina Kannada (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/works-worth-rs-2000-cr-to-be-taken-up-in-dakshina-kannada/article32710882.ece)

Among the 23 works that will be taken up are construction of gas terminal, LNG terminal, petrochemical complex, godown for foodgrains and sea food park at the New Mangalore Port. The other works to be taken up are construction of jetties for water sports and building a hospital. The Shipping Ministry will also take up development of various beaches in the State, Mr. Kateel said.


Strange that gas terminal, LNG terminal (H-Energy FSRU (http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/TOR/22_Mar_2018_121528120STS0QV2RAnnexurePreFeasibilityReportPFR.pdf)?), petrochemical complex together cost just Rs. 2000 crores. Could be Covid-19 effect! What is the difference between gas terminal and LNG terminal? Whether gas terminal means terminal for gas coming from Kochi LNG terminal? (Kochi - Mangalore line is stuck at Netravati river (https://mmb.moneycontrol.com/forum-topics/stocks/petronet-lng/thread-message-87086707-88886707.html)). Whether sea food park is coming up in NMPT land? (Tannirbhavi?) If not, why the shipping minister just talks about sea food park but not Plastic Park, Coconut Park, SAZ? Does that mean that only seafood park is feasible none of others are feasible?

Whether they are also planning for underground rock cavern LNG storage facility 1 (https://www.intechopen.com/books/natural-gas-extraction-to-end-use/innovative-method-of-lng-storage-in-underground-lined-rock-caverns)? Anyway I think proposed underground LPG storage facility can be used for storing regasified LNG also with some modifications.

Whether sea food park will also be industrial township consisting of multistoreyed industrial complexes & residential/commercial complexes?

KCCI submits detailed project report to govt for IT park in Mangaluru (https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/info-tech/kcci-submits-detailed-project-report-to-govt-for-it-park-in-mangaluru/article32740103.ece)

The entire building plan of two lakh square feet, to be set up at an estimated cost of ₹60 crore, has been designed with inputs from CREDAI and all heads of IT industry in the district.

Stating that the long-pending demand of KCCI for reforms in APMC has been met, he said this move is bound to give a big push to cashew and other agro-based industries. The APMC cess, which is restricted only to the APMC yard and sub-yards, has been reduced to 0.35 per cent, he said.


Reforms open Dakshina Kannada doors to Kerala land buyers (https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2020/oct/03/reforms-open-dk-doors-to-kerala-land-buyers-2205166.html)

A majority of Keralites who buy land here convert it into rubber plantations, while there are also people who take up arecanut, coconut, banana plantations. Govinda Bhat, a progressive farmer from Manila in Bantwal taluk, which is close to the Kerala border, says the Keralites purchasing land in the district started about four decades ago when they first set up rubber plantations in Sullia taluk.

Rashid Vittla, a social worker, feels that Keralites buying land has helped the locals in a way. “Most of the land they buy are the ones which are left barren. After buying, they turn them into plantations which will at least provide jobs to locals,” he pointed out.

On our hand, we have to continue our campaign for shifting of HPCL R&D facility from the parched city to Mangaluru.

Keonics plans to develop IT Park (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/keonics-plans-to-develop-it-park/article32857518.ece)

The Board of Directors took the decision to develop the IT Park on the 3.75 acres of land in Kuntikana-Derebail in its recent meeting, Keonics Chairman Harikrishna Bantwal told The Hindu.

It would be a public-private partnership initiative with the participation of Mangaluru Smart City Ltd. (MSCL) and supported by the Confederation of Real Estate Developers of India and the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he said.

The proposal was to invest ₹ 30 crore from the State government and another ₹ 30 crore from MSCL.

Having about 2 lakh sq ft floor space, the park would provide space mainly for Electronics System Design Manufacturing, Biotechnology and other initiatives. It would also provide space for incubation centres for start-ups with 340 seats as well as IT and IT-enabled services.

There would be two blocks of nine floors each at the proposed IT Park, detailed project report of which was prepared by the IDFC.

Rao said – “the feedstock was switched over from naphtha to natural gas in December 2020, which has resulted in energy conservation and substantial environmental benefits” and added – “the existing plants were studied by renowned technology providers in the field of ammonia. Accordingly, the revamp plan was designed based on the technology of Kellogg Brown & Root. The environment clearance was obtained from the Ministry of Environment in August 2018, and subsequently detailed design and engineering was carried out by Worley.”

“The plant will be built adhering to high quality safety standards. The project will reduce energy consumption of urea production by about 12 percent. It conserves natural resources such as natural gas to the same extent. The plant will also produce up to 25% additional ammonia, which will substitute ammonia import by the country. With installation of most modern equipment, the reliability of the plant will improve substantially. The project is scheduled for commissioning in June 2022.”

Karnataka takes wing ("][/URL]

With the proposed tunnel road nowhere in sight, the industrial sector of Mangaluru and coastal region feels that bringing Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) under UDAN scheme is the only option to boost the service industry and the regional economy.

Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) president Issac Vas has urged Centre and state governments to bring Mangalore International Airport (MIA) under UDAN to connect with tier-II cities like Belagavi, Hubballi and Kalaburagi.

With good hospitals, educational institutions, Mangalore port, beaches and temples in the coastal region, there is a huge potential for regional air-connectivity from MIA.

Vasudeva Rao, former director, MIA, said the airport has facilities to operate short haul flights and would be profitable for operators to keep the fare reasonable. “If the fare is Rs 4,000-Rs 6,000 nobody will go for it. If it is Rs 2,000-2,500, people will definitely go for it,” he said.



Besides, talks are on for resuming civil flights from HAL Airport in Bengaluru, and Mangaluru’s business sector has demanded bringing Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) -- the only other international airport apart from Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Karnataka -- under UDAN.

How the traffic flows

While airlines add flights and frequencies to New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai, not all traffic originates or terminates at these places. Amritsar, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Indore, Mangalore, Kochi, Vizag and many more cities feed into the nearest metro for flights to Europe and N. America. What does this indicate? There is a market for interline agreements and codeshares with airlines from India.

Vistara has taken a lead here with an interline agreement with 26 airlines and codeshare with six, an impressive number for an airline as young as Vistara. The other airline which is ready for codeshare is Air India, but there are obvious challenges.

Class of service

One obvious challenge for LCCs is the class of service. How does one treat a business class passenger of, say American Airlines, on a flight from Bengaluru to Mangalore in an ATR? While this challenge exists, this isn’t new and both airlines and passengers have partially warmed up to this expected drop in hard product for some part of the journey. IndiGo-Turkish codeshare and Spicejet-Emirates codeshare are examples of customers potentially opting for convenience over service.

Mangaluru airport grows in spite of air crash a decade ago (https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/mangaluru-airport-grows-in-spite-of-air-crash-a-decade-ago/article32304505.ece#)

Work on the construction of second phase of parallel taxiway is going on in full swing, he said.

The phase-1 commissioning of the parallel taxi track has increased the runway handling capacity from 10 flights per hour to 14 flights per hour. The capacity will be increased to 17 flights per hour after the completion of the phase-2.

He said that AAI has also taken up the work on the expansion of terminal building along with a facelift to the existing terminal building. The expansion will help the airport handle an additional 1 million passengers a year.

Vas said the airport has also taken up expansion of apron at the airport. Aircraft parking bays have been increased from 10 to 15 now.


Mangaluru airport takes up massive upgradation of safety, landing facilities (https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/mangaluru-airport-takes-up-massive-upgradation-of-safety-landing-facilities/article32304676.ece)

Court of Inquiry, headed by BN Gokhale, former Vice-Chief of Air Staff, Indian Air Force, had recommended the need for the improvement of RESA (runway-end safety area) at Mangaluru airport. Vasudeva said RESA of 240 metres have been provided on both the sides at Mangaluru. (RESA is the the surface surrounding the runway suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot or overshoot)

Vas said the provision of 240 metres x 90 metres of RESA on both ends of runway is more than the mandatory requirement of 90 metres x 90 metres.

Apart from this, zero slope with sand bed has been provided on RESA surface to de-accelerate overshooting aircrafts, he said.

The Court of Inquiry had stated that the ILS (instrument landing system) localiser antenna was mounted on a concrete structure at Mangaluru above the runway safety area.

Vasudeva said the airport had embedded localisers in the earth as recommended in the report.

He said the airport had also installed DTGM (distance to go marker) on runway shoulders as recommended by the Court of Inquiry. The Court of Inquiry had felt that the use of DTGM could help the pilots to ascertain critical distances as it acts as a visual reference to ascertain the remaining distance.

Vas said that the runway side safety basic strip width has been increased from 75 metres to 150 metres on a length of 1,440 metres on south side of runway. For remaining portion, AAI has asked the State government to hand over land.

On north side of runway, the work of entire length for widening of runway side basic strip has been taken up. Out of 2450 metres, work has been already completed in 1500 metres. Work is in progress in the remaining portion, he said.

AAI also constructed and commissioned a new ATC control tower with a commanding view of the runway, Vas added.

Primary to ensuring safety is the commissioning of Instrument Landing System (CAT I ILS) as against CAT IIIB ILS in use at Indira Gandhi International Airport at New Delhi last year, says V V Rao, airport director, MIA. In an informal chat with TOI in wake of crash of IX-1344 at Kozhikode, Rao said MIA has internalised the various lessons learnt from IX812 crash and has consistently strived to adhere to every single aspect that enhances safety.

Accordingly, as recommended by the CoI, firefighting systems have been upgraded keeping in mind the topography in which they would be required to operate. Air navigational system has been upgraded. MIA now has Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range (VOR), a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft. The apron has been improved and the new air traffic control tower gives a commanding view of the entire runway, he said.

State government too has constructed roads around the airport to enable emergency response vehicles of AAI to reach there within the stipulated response time addressing a major lacuna that authorities faced when the IX812 crash happened, he said. With every agency involved taking care to upgrade safety measures, Rao said DGCA that regulates functioning of aircraft and airports in India too keeps a tight leash on safety by way of surprise inspections.

Aviation safety wing of AAI too carries out periodic and surprise inspections and their reports are acted on to ensure safety and well being of the stakeholders using the airport, he said. “We have evolved as an airport over the years (especially since the IX812 crash),” Rao said adding the safety management system as dictated by DGCA guidelines are fully in vogue at the airport. Periodic checks and mock exercise too helps the airport maintain its edge, he surmised.

In one more intiative, members of Dakshina Kannada & Udupi Bus Operators Associations can explore whether it is possible to reach a profit sharing agreement with companies like Csepel (http://www.csepel-holding.hu/) just like Karnataka government is planning for its favourite city & mafia. And Mangaluru Smart City (http://mangalurusmartcity.net/) company can include this task in smart city schedule. Note that Csepel has already signed some kind of MoU with a few of private travels already - 1 (https://autotechreview.com/news/sram-mram-group-csepel-holding-nyrt-hungary-agreement-joint-venture-electric-bus-manufacturing-project-asia-india-boot-model) 2 (https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/ab-business-enterprises-plans-to-raise-rs-250-cr-pvt-equity-117120700838_1.html). Even ex urban minister had talked about discussing with MESCOM for battery charging stations - 1 (https://epaper.udayavani.com/2201215/Manipal-Edition/16-Jun-2019#page/9/2). No idea what are possibilities & advantages extending such scheme to electric autos, taxis, bike/car rentals etc. Anyway many of them will be switching over to CNG soon.

In the next step what can we try is 'Mobility as a Service' aka 'Cloud Mobility'. To achieve this bus operators, autoriksha/taxi associations, bicycle club have to come together. We can start by opening a 'Mobility Study Cell' in any of engineering college of Tulunadu and come up with a economic plan for the entire region.

ರಸ್ತೆ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೊಂಡರೂ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ ಮೇಲೆಯೇ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karnataka-edition/karavali/karavali-mangalore/parking-on-the-footpath-even-though-the-road-is-widened)

ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗೆ ತಡೆ
ಕೆಲವು ಕಟ್ಟಡಗಳು/ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಮಳಿಗೆಗಳ ಎದುರು ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ನಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಇಟ್ಟು ಪಾದಚಾರಿಗಳು ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ ಬಳಸದಂತೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ತಿಂಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆಯಷ್ಟೇ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಗೊಂಡ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ ಕೂಡ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಉದ್ದೇಶಗಳಿಗೆ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನು ಕೆಲವೆಡೆ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ರಸ್ತೆಗಾಗಿ ಸ್ಥಳಾವಕಾಶ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಸಂಪರ್ಕವೇ ಇಲ್ಲದಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅಂತಹ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ನಡೆದಾಡುವುದು ಅಸಾಧ್ಯ.

ಎತ್ತರವಿಲ್ಲದ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್
ಹಲವೆಡೆ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ರಸ್ತೆಗೆ ಸಮತಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಹಾಗಾಗಿ ವಾಹನಗಳನ್ನು ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನು ಕೆಲವೆಡೆ ತುಸು ಎತ್ತರದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರೂ ಅದು ವಾಹನಗಳು ಏರುವಷ್ಟೇ ಎತ್ತರವಿದೆ. ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುವಾಗಲೇ ವಾಹನಗಳ ನಿಲುಗಡೆಗೆ ಸೂಕ್ತವಾಗಿರುವ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಅನೇಕ ಮಂದಿ ಪಾದಚಾರಿಗಳು ದೂರಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಸಂಚಾರಕ್ಕೆ ತೊಡಕು
ಲಕ್ಷಾಂತರ ರೂಪಾಯಿ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳು ವಾಹನಗಳ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ಗೆ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಪಾದಚಾರಿಗಳು ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವಭಯದಲ್ಲೇ ನಡೆದಾಡುವುದು ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ವಾಹನಗಳ ಸುಗಮ ಸಂಚಾರಕ್ಕೂ ತೊಡಕಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೊಂಡ ರಸ್ತೆಯ ಅಂಚಿನಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಹನಗಳ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಿದರೂ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾತ್ರ ಜನರ ಓಡಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಕ್ತವಾಗಿರಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂಬುದು ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರ ಒತ್ತಾಯ.

ಅನಧಿಕೃತ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ತೆರವು
ರಸ್ತೆ ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲದೆ ಫುಟ್ಪಾತ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಆಕ್ರಮಿಸಿ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ಮಾಡುವ ವಾಹನ ಸವಾರರು/ ಚಾಲಕರ ವಿರುದ್ಧವೂ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಜನರ ಓಡಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ತೊಂದರೆಯಾಗುವಂತೆ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಮಳಿಗೆಗಳು ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಇಟ್ಟರೆ ಅಂತವರ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ.

When is Shiradi tunnel? - IT giant Mohadas Pai tweet (http://epaper.udayavani.com/EditionPage/EPpage.php?edn=Manipal&isid=UVANI_MAN_20201017#Page/13)

Idea of tunnel under Shiradi Ghat comes to fore (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=763101)

Environmentalists, however, question the need to have such a tunnel. Just because a tunnel was dug in Himachal Pradesh does not mean that the Western Ghats too have the carrying capacity, they argue. They say that precious nature of Western Ghats has been lost for Bengaluru-Mangaluru railway line, hydel power project at Gundia, for B C Road highway, Yettinahole project etc. They point out that because of this onslaught, we have been witnessing the ill effects during the rainy seasons in the recent past. They say that if a tunnel is rigged here, it will deliver another major blow to Western Ghats and Kempuhole rivulet, which is the source of River Netravati, may go dry and the project may prove to be disastrous for Dakshina Kannada district.

Nitin Gadkari inaugurates, lays foundation stone for 15 national highway projects (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay?newsID=931829)

Mangaluru Feb 28: Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, inaugurated laid foundation stone of 15 projects pertaining to national highway worth Rs 3,163 crore on Monday February 28 at Kulshekar.

Addressing the gathering, Gadkari said, “The DPR will be prepared for the Mangaluru ring road which will benefit the industries and port in Mangaluru.

“We have undertaken Rs 2,000 crore worth project under Bharathmala for road and port connectivity. In the next five years, the road infrastructure of the nation will be changed completely. Due to the strong political will, in 2024 we will make the roads, infrastructure of Karnataka on par with America,” he said.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said, “I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and minister Nitin Gadkari for sanctioning projects worth Rs 3,163 crore. Many are questioning my work as an MP for the last 13 years. I am proud that today projects have been launched such as Mangaluru-Bengaluru four-lane and Bikkarnakatte-Saanur four-lane. Kulur bridge will be inaugurated and foundation stone will be soon laid for KPT VUP.

Some of the projects for which the foundation stone was laid and inaugurated include KPT junction NH 66 construction VUP worth Rs 34.61 crore, NH 75 Bengaluru-Mangaluru, Gundya Addahole to Periyashanti 15 km four-laning worth Rs 442.87 crore, NH 75 Bengaluru-Mangaluru Gundya Addahole-Periyashanti-Bantwal 48 km four-laning and an overbridge at Kalladka worth Rs 1,480.85 crore, NH 169 45 km Bikkarnakatte-Saanur worth Rs 1,137 crore and NH 234 19 km BC Road-Punjalkatte worth Rs 159.70 crore.


DPR for Shiradi Ghat tunnel road ready, to cost Rs 14,000 crore, says Nitin Gadkari (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/karnataka-dpr-for-shiradi-ghat-tunnel-road-ready-to-cost-rs-14000-crore-says-nitin-gadkari/articleshow/89905584.cms)

“Shiradi Ghat is a lifeline of Karnataka and I have given it my highest priority. The existing 26kms national highway stretch on the Shirdadi Ghat will be made four-lane as per plans and we have already prepared a DPR to develop the proposed six-lane tunnel road. I assure that clearances from the forest department will be obtained with the support of chief minister Basavaraj Bommai,” he said, adding that roads in India will be on par with America by the end of 2024.

“I have directed officials to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for a ring road in Mangaluru. Very soon the project will be taken up. The ministry has sanctioned 14 road over bridges (ROBs) in Karnataka. I also assure people of Mangaluru that a flyover will be constructed at Nanthoor in the city,” Gadkari said.

Chief minister Basavaraj Bommai said that the state government will sign an MoU with the MoRTH to develop ring roads in the city. Accordingly, instead of 50% to develop ring roads, the state government will have to spend just 25% of the cost. However, we have to give exemption in the state GST on the cost and waive the royalty of the project. Accordingly, ring roads will be developed in many cities in Karnataka including one in Mangaluru,” he said.

Besides developing 26 km of Shiradi Ghat stretch into four-lane road, the Ministry was working hard to prepare a detailed project report for the tunnel bypass estimated to cost ₹14,000 crore. The State Government should ensure speedy forest and environment clearance for the project, he told Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. Along with this six-lane bypass, the entire NH 75 too would be upgraded to six-lanes, he added.

Mr. Gadkari said the Ministry’s plans to construct Mumbai-Kanyakumari expressway would pass through Karnataka coast thereby further enhancing economic development in the region. Plans to build an expressway between Pune-Bengaluru were in final stages.


Kanara Chamber of Commerce seeks alternative routes to coastal Karnataka, industrial corridor (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/kanara-chamber-of-commerce-seeks-alternative-routes-to-coastal-karnataka-industrial-corridor/article65183731.ece)

During an interaction with the Minister on February 28, KCCI members also requested an industrial corridor through Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts connecting Deralakatte-Mudipu-Nandikur-Balkunje and Belapu and a knowledge/health corridor connecting Konaje-Deralakatte-Nitte and Manipal. These corridors would also link NH 66 (Kochi-Panvel), NH 75, NH 73 (Mangaluru-Tumakuru via Charmadi Ghat), NH 169 (Mangaluru-Solapur) and NH 169A (Malpe-Tirthahalli) thereby enhancing connectivity in the coastal region.

Widening Mani-Mysuru NH 275 via Sampaje ghat to four lanes and improving Kundapura-Tirthahalli SH 52 via Hulikal/Balebare ghat could not only reduce the burden on NH 75, but would also be of help in the event of closure of the Mangaluru-Bengaluru highway.

KCCI President Shashidhar Pai Maroor drew the attention of Mr. Gadkari towards some local connectivity issues hampering vehicular movement in and around Mangaluru. An elevated highway or flyover is needed between Kulur and Baikampady on NH 66 as the stretch connecting the New Mangalore Port would always be busy with heavy goods vehicles, passenger vehicles and private vehicles.

The Baikampady Industrial Area lacks proper approach roads from NH 66, which is something the Ministry should look into, he said.

Through Ennehole project, water will be supplied to Ajekaru, Hirgana, Kukkundooru and Erlapady villages. It will also help in recharging groundwater at Aanekere and Ramasamudra in Karkala taluk.

Plans have been chalked out to construct more than 40 check dams on all the rivulets near Ennehole, said Engineer Praveen.

‘’The bridge road will connect Mangaluru - Bengaluru and Mangaluru - Kerala Highways. However, the movement of heavy vehicles will be banned on the road. The water impounded in the dam will irrigate fields of hundreds of farmers in Thokkottu, Deralakatte, Mudipu and Boliyar,’’ Khader said.

The cost of the project is estimated to be over Rs 192.26 crore and work is expected to be completed by 18 months. The bridge with a total length of 520 metres, will have 52 service gates and five stop log gates. The size of gates will be 8.5X2 metres.

The capacity of the dam is 1.60 TMC. The project will be carried out on turn key basis. G Shankar is the contractor for the work. There is also a plan to construct a bridge at Adamkudru - Bajal in future, Khader added.

Purified seawater to Mangaluru: Team to Chennai (http://epaper.udayavani.com/home.php?edition=Manipal&date=2010-02-09&pageno=16&pid=UVANI_MAN)
Transforming sea water into fresh one - city team to visit Chennai (http://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=494832)

Rs. 871 crores means 100 MLD which can cater to 15 lakh people. Read Jayalalithaa inaugurates Rs 871 cr desalination plant (http://www.deccanherald.com/content/314010/jayalalithaa-inaugurates-rs-871-cr.html). Where are 15 lakh people in Mangaluru now?

For industries I think MRPL is already constructing a desalination plant of 50 MLD at Tannirbhavi which is enough for its future expansion and other industries planned in MSEZ. Even UPCL is mooting of a desalination plant. Mulki, Surathkal region can be supplied water from Shambhavi river & UPCL desalination plant. Harekala/Adyar dam is mooted for Ullal region. Many more dams are going to be constructed on Netravati for waterway project. These dams can release water to Mangaluru whever there is water shortage. I am sure that these dams are enough for feeding more than 20 lakh people till year 2050. Other dams along Mangaluru-Udupi belt can feed another 20 lakh people in this belt. Where is the need for extra desalination plants?

As far as Phalguni pollution, which is said to be because of Maravoor dam, only solution is to stop releasing all types of polluted water into it whether it is domestic or industrial.

Why did the government allocated Rs. 871 crores for desalination plant in a hurry and just Rs. 200 crores for Pashchima Vahini? The government has all the money for Yettinahole but no money for Pashchima Vahini. Even if you forget that the government is not even releasing money for land acquisition needed for Tumbe dam. Isn't the desalination plant for taking water to Yettinahole?

Here are some old news links.

Desalination plant in city may become a reality as MRPL shows interest (http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/Desalination-plant-in-city-may-become-a-reality-as-MRPL-shows-interest/article17113923.ece)

Is seawater desalination the answer? (http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/Is-seawater-desalination-the-answer/article15379592.ece)
Karnataka may build new city to decongest Bengaluru (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/infrastructure/karnataka-may-build-new-city-to-decongest-bengaluru/articleshow/57533054.cms)

Obviously this project is a part of the bigger project to take water through Yettinahole and not for Mangaluru. We don't need any projects around the parched city as I have already posted here (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=217211&page=16).

Do we need such desalination plants to spoil our sea & kill our marinelife by increasing salinity level of the sea? (Even IISc professor who suggested sea reservior said desalination plants are deadly for marinelife! Read earlier posts & news links.) It is pitty that our own selfish elected representatives for their political gains are compromising on our marine ecology. Let us unite and defeat these politicians in the coming election.

Yuva Brigade to clean river Nandini (http://www.deccanherald.com/content/658679/yuva-brigade-clean-river-nandini.html)

Enough opportunities to process sea water (http://epaper.udayavani.com/home.php?edition=Manipal&date=2018-02-13&pageno=14&pid=UVANI_MAN)

The team studied everything except where the process water is released back into the sea and what was effect on marine life. Without doing this they are giving a rosy picture! These parties want free Netravati water to be looted by the real estate mafia of the parched city and Tuluvas to pay for processing sea water! Look how they are telling Chennai is supplying desalinated water free of cost as if these politicians are going to pay from their personal pockets for desalinating sea water!

Now whoever wants to defeat this party the task has become easy. Fishing community is a decisive community in the elections! Just needs to create awareness among them on side effects of desalination plants on marine life and hence their livelihood.

Look at this report.

World's first desalination unit off Ennore coast (http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2017/nov/14/worlds-first-desalination-unit-off-ennore-coast-1700527.html)
NIOT to build India’s first offshore desal plant near Chennai coast (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/niot-to-build-indias-first-offshore-desal-plant-near-city-coast/articleshow/61636889.cms)

Desalination by LTTD process (https://www.niot.res.in/index.php/node/index/27/)

What it means is offshore desalination plant, with least effect on marine life, with 10 MLD capacity costs Rs. 2000 crores. So, 100 MLD will cost around Rs. 20,000 crores. Only adavantage Mangaluru has is sea is not shallow like Chennai so you need not go to 40 km from the coast to find the required depth for intake of deep sea cold water.

By the way, NITK should conduct thorough Risk Analysis on marine life even for proposed 50 MLD desalination plants of MRPL & UPCL and suggest hazard mitigation measures. 04.05 IMPACT ON MARINE RESOURCES (page 206) (http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/EIA/071220150QUKO6N15MLDHybridSWDPatOdisha.pdf).

Mayor to write to CM for setting up seawater desalination plant in city (http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/mayor-to-write-to-cm-for-setting-up-seawater-desalination-plant-in-city/article22745867.ece)

From the news it looks like this plant and the plant proposed by MRPL are one and the same. But 50 MLD is sufficient for industries. We don't want desalination plants of huge capacities. Where are they planning to release the brine water? Let them take it to the parched city through a small pipeline and supply to real estate mafia and their puppet politicians so that they can use it for cooking, bathing etc and their puppet politicians here also can use it. And, when will the mayor write to the CM to release money for the new Tumbe dam land acquisition?

...


Water from MRPL desalination plant will be enough for all MRPL expansions. MRPL has already plans to increase capacity of this desalination plant. New dam coming up at Adyar/Harekala can cater to Infosys and Mudipu IT SEZ. There is also proposal for vented dam for Shambhavi river to address water needs of Mulki. UPCL is also planning for desalination plant. In addition, there is also discussion on coastal reservior. So, there is no need for another desalination plant in Mangaluru taluk in the near future. When the population of greater Mangaluru exceeds 20 lakhs we can think of another desalination somewhere between Surathkal and Sasihitlu far away from Tannirbhavi or at least go for LTTD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-temperature_thermal_desalination) instead of reverse osmosis technology. Anyway my desire is Mangaluru-Udupi belt population level should remain within 40 lakhs (20 lakhs + 10 lakhs + 10 lakhs)! When Chennai, with such huge population, thinks of alternative - Chennai water crisis: Are desalination plants the answer? (https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/energy-and-environment/are-desalination-plants-the-answer/article28197717.ece) why not Mangaluru?

For increasing groundwater level the newspaper already has given good publicity for groundwater recharging. It should continue its excellent contribution towards this cause.

ಬಂದರು, ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ, ರೈಲು, ಮೂರು ಹೆದ್ದಾರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿರುವ ದೇಶದ ಕೆಲವೇ ನಗರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಕೂಡ ಒಂದು. ನಗರ ವಿಸ್ತಾರಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಆಡಳಿತಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ಮಹಾನಗರ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಗೆ ಸೀಮಿತವಾದರೂ ವ್ಯವಹಾರಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ಇದರಾಚೆಗೆ ನಗರ ವ್ಯಾಪಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಬಿ.ಸಿ. ರೋಡ್ವರೆಗೆ, ಮುಡಿಪು, ತಲಪಾಡಿ, ಮೂಲ್ಕಿಯವರೆಗೆ ನಗರವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿ ವ್ಯಾವಹಾರಿಕವಾಗಿ ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನು, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸ್ಮಾರ್ಟ್ಸಿಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆಯಲಿದ್ದು, ಹೀಗಿರುವಾಗ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ರೈಲು ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಪೂರಕ ಎಂಬ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಕೇಳಿಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ.

The corporation has not provided stabling or maintenance lines at any of its stations along 270 km odd network in Karnataka thereby denying starting of any train from the coast other than Southern Railway’s Mangaluru. Worse, KRCL has no plans to construct maintenance lines in Karnataka, the corporation had stated in a reply to an RTI query recently.

Mangaluru-Coimbatore Tejas Express proposal irks many in Karnataka (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/mangaluru-coimbatore-tejas-express-proposal-irks-many-in-karnataka/article30953607.ece)

Yogendra Swamy from Mysuru Grahaka Parishat said SR and its Palakkad division has cited platform constraints whenever Karnataka trains, including the Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Junction-Yeshwantpur Gomateshwara Express and the Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction-Vijayapura Special Express, are sought to be run from Mangaluru Central. “Won’t the same constraints apply to Tamil Nadu- or Kerala-bound trains,” he asked. He also said the practice of using Mangaluru as the terminal for north Kerala should stop.

Anil Hegde of Pashchima Karavali Rail Yatri Abhivriddhi Samiti said the Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Central Tri-weekly Express (16585) was departing Yeshwantpur at a very odd hour of 4.30 p.m. and arriving Central at 3.30 a.m. “It is only because Palakkad division’s claim that no platform is available at Central after 5 a.m.,” Mr. Hegde said, wondering how SR could find platform for Tejas Express now.

Kukke Subrahmanya-Mangaluru Rail Abhivriddhi Samiti convener Sudarshan Puttur said the Tejas proposal has again exposed the “double standards of the SR”. “It did not allow the Mumbai CSMT-Mangaluru-Mumbai CSMT Superfast Express into Central citing platform congestion; SR started the Mangaluru Central-Coimbatore Intercity Express in the meantime,” he said.

Stakeholders feel KRCL ignoring state’s interests (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/stakeholders-feel-krcl-ignoring-states-interests/articleshow/74464621.cms)

KRCL has not provided stabling or maintenance lines at any of the stations in the 270-km-odd network straddling Karnataka. This has negated chances of any train being started from the coast, other than Mangaluru Central, which is under Southern Railway. KRCL has admitted that it has no plans to construct maintenance lines in the state as per its reply to an RTI query, a copy of which is available with TOI.


Tejas Exp move bemuses train stakeholders in coastal K'taka (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/tejas-exp-move-bemuses-train-stakeholders-in-coastal-ktaka/articleshow/74446935.cms)

Activists Raveendran Nambiar and Dinesh Bhat, both from Puttur, said SR cannot justify the non-availability of platforms to start and receive Karnataka trains at Central as four trains leave Central towards Kerala/ Tamil Nadu between 5am and 7.30am. Even when there is inordinate delay in constructing additional platforms at Central by SR, its move to push Tejas’ proposal is classic example for step-motherly treatment towards Karnataka, Bhat rued.

Yogendra Swamy, representing Mysuru Grahaka Parishat, said SR and Palakkad division have cited platform constraint to Karnataka trains, including Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Junction-Yeshwantpur Gomateshwara Express, Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction-Vijayapura special Express. “Won’t the same constraints apply to TN- and Kerala-bound trains?” he asked. The practice of using Mangaluru as the terminal for North Kerala should stop, he suggested.


I think not only Mangaluru but Coimbatore is also reserved as terminal by Kerala.

Railways mull Tejas Express for Kozhikode (https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/railways-mull-tejas-express-for-kozhikode/article30975800.ece)

Nascent stage

Railway sources say the proposal of the inter-city train service is in its infancy though the mechanical department of the Salem division and the Palakkad division have worked out the feasibility of the service. A final decision on operating the service would be taken only after getting the approval of the Railway Board.

One of the reasons for not hastily going ahead with the proposal is that the Mangaluru Central station has to facilitate the primary maintenance of the new train. The sources say the existing pit line at the Mangaluru station is saturated. But steps are being taken to set up a new pit line at the station. Another is the issue of the inadequate number of platforms there.

The non-availability of platforms is forcing the authorities to terminate intra-Karnataka trains at other stations than Mangaluru Central. Besides, a lobby in Mangaluru is against using the station for north Kerala commuters, the sources said.

The train had been proposed primarily for the benefit of rail commuters of Kozhikode, the sources said.

SR commissions double line between Mangaluru Jn., Padil (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/sr-commissions-double-line-between-mangaluru-jn-padil/article30985102.ece)

SR’s construction division has undertaken doubling of track between Mangaluru Junction and Panambur Yard via Padil. At present, doubling work on the 17-km stretch between Junction and Padil, excluding 2 km between Kulashekara and Padil that includes 600 m of Kulashekara tunnel, is complete.

Doubling work between Mangaluru Junction and Panambur (21 km), including the tunnel work, is expected to be over by March next, the release said.

Other works

Meanwhile, SR also executed several improvement works in Junction. Platforms 1 to 3 were extended to accommodate 26 coach trains while provision for two-engine lay-bys was provided to facilitate traction change from diesel to electrical and vice versa.

The existing electronic inter-locking signalling system was replaced with upgraded electronic interlocking and dual visual display units at Mangaluru Junction, the release said. Improvement in signalling eases movement of trains.

Provision was also made for continuous track circuiting between Junction and Padil to ease movement of trains and ensure safety while trip shed and ballast siding were provided at Junction.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು: ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲು ಸೇವೆ 1907ರಲ್ಲಿ ಆರಂಭಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು 111 ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಇತಿಹಾಸವಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸೇವೆ ಗಳನ್ನು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಲು ಅನೇಕ ವಿಚಾರಗಳು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿವೆ. ಆದುದರಿಂದ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ವಿಭಾಗ ನೀಡುವುದು ಅವಶ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಸಂಸದ ನಳಿನ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಕಟೀಲು ಲೋಕಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗ್ರಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಲೋಕಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಶುಕ್ರವಾರ ಚರ್ಚೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ ಅವರು, ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಸ್ಥಳಾವಕಾಶವಿರುವ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಜಂಕ್ಷನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಭಾಗೀಯ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಕಚೇರಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಬಹುದಾಗಿದೆ. ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸೆಂಟ್ರಲ್ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ 7 ಕಿ.ಮೀ., ಕೊಂಕಣ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ 18 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ಮತ್ತು ನೈಋತ್ಯ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ 6 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಕೊಂಕಣ ರೈಲ್ವೇಯ ಅಧೀನದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ವಿಭಾಗ ರಚಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂದರು.

“We have identified Mangaluru Junction Railway Station to set up Divisional Headquarters office,” the MP said adding enough land was available in the location. If necessary, State government’s financial support may be sought to set up the division, he said.

World class station

Stating that the century-old Mangaluru Central Station was in dire need of a revamp, the MP urged the Ministry to completely overhaul the station complex.

Meanwhile, the Railways should expedite construction of two new platforms, No. 4 and 5 at Central as the present work pace was very slow. New platforms would enhance train handling capacity at Central.

Besides, the Railways should undertake doubling and electrification of Mangaluru-Bengaluru line, he said.

Mr. Kateel urged the Ministry to introduce a new train between Mangaluru and Bidar via Hassan, Chitradurga, Ballari and Mantralaya Road to offer connectivity with North Karnataka for development of tourism, education and pilgrimage. A direct service from Mangaluru to Tirupati too was needed, besides another train to Rameswaram via Palakkad, Madurai.

ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದಲ್ಲೇ ಉಳಿದ 2 ಪ್ರಮುಖ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು - ಜೀವ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳದ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ; 3 ತಾಲೂಕುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಪರ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karnataka-edition/topnews-karnataka-edition/two-railway-road-pending)

ಕಾರ್ಕಳ: ಉಡುಪಿ ಮತ್ತು ದ.ಕ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಹಲವು ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಕೇಂದ್ರಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಹಾದುಹೋಗುವ ಎರಡು ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಪರ್ಯಾಯ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ದಶಕಗಳಿಂದ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದಲ್ಲೇ ಉಳಿದಿದೆ.

ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಈಡೇರಿಲ್ಲ
ಪಡುಬಿದ್ರಿ, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಉಜಿರೆ, ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ ನೆಟ್ಟಣ ಮತ್ತು ನಂದಿಕೂರು, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಬಜಗೋಳಿ ಉಜಿರೆ, ಚಾರ್ಮಾಡಿ ಈ ಎರಡು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಈ ವರೆಗೂ ಈಡೇರಿಲ್ಲ. ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆಯಿಂದಲೂ ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ಪಂದನೆ ಸಿಗುವ ಲಕ್ಷಣಗಳಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬದಲಿಗೆ ತುಸು ಬದಲಾವಣೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಉಜಿರೆ, ಚಾರ್ಮಾಡಿ-ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಹಾರ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಾರ್ಗ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣದ ಹೊಸ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಮುಂದಿಡಲು ಉಡುಪಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಿದೆ.

ಪಡುಬಿದ್ರಿ, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳ, ನೆಟ್ಟಣ ಮಧ್ಯೆ 120 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ಹೊಸ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಸರ್ವೇ ನಡೆದಿದೆ. ಪ್ರಾಥಮಿಕ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಚಾರ ಸರ್ವೇ, ಎಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್ ಕಮ್ ಟ್ರಾಫಿಕ್ ಸರ್ವೇ ನಡೆದಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಮಾರ್ಗ ರಚನೆ ಕುರಿತು ಯಾವುದೇ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಗಳು ಇಲಾಖೆ ಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದುವರೆಗೂ ಮುನ್ನೆಲೆಗೆ ಬಂದಿಲ್ಲ.

ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಕ್ಕೇ ಸೀಮಿತ
ಅವಿಭಜಿತ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರ್ಯಾಯ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ರೈಲು ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಜನಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಗಳ ಮುಂದೆ ಇರಿಸಿತ್ತು. ನಂದಿಕೂರು, ಕಾರ್ಕಳ ಬಜಗೋಳಿ ಉಜಿರೆ ಚಾರ್ಮಾಡಿ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಾಗಿ ಸೋಮನಾಡು ಸೇತುವೆ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುರಂಗದ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಾಗಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಹಾರದಿಂದ ಮೂಡಿಗೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ಜೋಡಣೆಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದು ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ರಾಜಧಾನಿ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಸಾಗುವುದು. ಮತ್ತು ನಂದಿಕೂರು ಜಂಕ್ಷನ್ ಆಗಿ ರೂಪುಗೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಇವುಗಳು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಗಷ್ಟೆ ಸೀಮಿತವಾಗಿದ್ದು ಹೊರತು ಪಡಿಸಿದೆ ಹೊರತು ಜೀವ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿಲ್ಲ.

ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸಂಪರ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲದ 3 ತಾಲೂಕು
ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳ ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ವಿವಿಧ ಪಕ್ಷದ ನಾಯಕರು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಹುದ್ದೆ ನಿಭಾಯಿಸಿದ್ದರೂ, ಕರಾವಳಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯವರೇ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಂತ್ರಿ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಕಾರ್ಕಳ, ಮೂಡುಬಿದಿರೆ, ಬೆಳ್ತಂಗಡಿ ಈ ಮೂರು ತಾಲೂಕುಗಳು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸಂಪರ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿಲ್ಲ. ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾದರೆ ಧರ್ಮಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೂ ತೆರಳುವ ಯಾತ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಹತ್ತಿರದ ಮಾರ್ಗ
2010 ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಸಮೀಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಅಂದು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಸಚಿವರಾಗಿದ್ದ ಮಮತಾ ಬ್ಯಾನರ್ಜಿ ಅನುಮೋದನೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಯೋಜನೆ ಕಾರ್ಯಗತವಾಗಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಂದಾಪುರ ಉಡುಪಿ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಪರ್ಯಾಯ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಲಿಂಕ್ ಆಗಿ 4 ಗಂಟೆ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಅನಂತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯವರೇ ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಗಳು ಈಡೇರದೇ ಉಳಿದಿದೆ.

ಇಂದು ಸಭೆ
ರೈಲ್ವೇಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಮನ್ನನೆ ಸಿಗದೇ ಇರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಸರವಿದೆ. ಈಗಿರುವ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಗಳು ನನೆಗುದಿಗೆ ಬಿದ್ದಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವದ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದಷ್ಟು ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವ ಮಂಡಿಸಲಿದ್ದು, ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅ.15ರಂದು ಉಡುಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘದ ತುರ್ತು ಸಭೆ ಕರೆದಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
-ಆರ್.ಎಲ್ ಡಯಾಸ್, ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರು, ಉಡುಪಿ ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರ ಸಂಘ

ಅನುಮೋದನೆ ಸಿಗಬೇಕು
ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳು ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಇವೆ. ಈ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಗಳು ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಇಲಾಖೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಿವೆ. ರೈಲ್ವೇ ಮಂಡಳಿಯಿಂದ ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಮೋದನೆ ಸಿಗಬೇಕಿದೆ.

Both seaweed & seagrass cultivated there can be either processed there and then transported here for mainland usage or transported to here for further processing. I think Mangaluru should have some kind of cooperative/business arrangement with Lakshadweep for this.

One requires an entry permit issued by the Lakshadweep administration to visit these islands, apart from a resident sponsoring the visitor.

A similar passenger service was launched from Mangaluru Old Port earlier too, but was stopped a few years ago. There are tourism agencies that offer packages which include visits to various tourism spots and stay on the islands, said a source.

Gulam Mohammed, welfare officer of the ship, said that board that boarding the ship will start at 10am on Wednesday. “The ship will start sailing at 1pm. It has 150 seats and the fare is Rs 200 per head,” he said.

Dakshina Kannada Coastal Regulation Zone Management Committee had granted a no objection certificate to the Lakshadweep administration for the construction of their office and other amenities at Bunder in 2015. The Lakshadweep administration and the Karnataka port department had prepared a plan to construct a harbour, passengers’ waiting complex, goods sheds and other facilities at a cost of Rs 50 crore. The port department also agreed to provide 8,000sqm land to the Lakshadweep administration for the purpose. However, the project has not yet been taken up.

3 ಖಾಸಗಿ ಹಿಡಿತದಲ್ಲಿ !
ಎನ್ಎಂಪಿಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ 15ನೇ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಯುಪಿಸಿಎಲ್ ಪಡೆದಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಸದ್ಯ ಇದನ್ನು ಅದಾನಿ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. 16ನೇ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ಚೆಟ್ಟಿನಾಡ್ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗೆ ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. 14ನೇ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಜೆಎಸ್ಡಬ್ಲ್ಯೂ ಕಂಪೆನಿಗೆ ನೀಡುವ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ ಕೊನೆಯ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಉಳಿದ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಗಳನ್ನು ಎನ್ಎಂಪಿಟಿ ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ನವಮಂಗಳೂರು ಬಂದರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಹೊಸ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಗರ ಮಾಲಾ ಯೋಜನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಮೂಲಕ ಎನ್ಎಂಪಿಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಕು ಆಮದು-ರಫ್ತು ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಅವಕಾಶಗಳು ದೊರೆಯಲಿವೆ.

Sri Rajarajeshwari temple located near the Mundapalla was once a royal temple of the Tulu-speaking Toulava Kings of Kumble region (seeme), according to the legend.

The then Tulunadu historically comprised the present Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Kasargod districts of Kerala state. The entire Tulunadu was ruled by kings and chieftains with Barkur, Mangaluru and Kumble as their capitals.

During Vijayanagar and later under Keladi dynasty, the Rajarajeshwari temple was the family deity of Kumble kings of Tenkana Tulunadu or Southern Tulunadu.

According to history, Kumble royal family had built their palace in Kanchikatte in Kumble and the kings used to offer pujas at the temple. The kings also used to hold open Darbars under a Banyan tree and thus the place derives its name as ‘Darbarkatte'.

Birders seek development of Manna Palla Lake as mini-bird sanctuary (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/birders-seek-development-of-manna-palla-lake-as-mini-bird-sanctuary/article31139730.ece)

‘Of 282 species spotted around Manipal, 118 were at the lake in the last 10 years’

This lake is located in about 100 acres of land in Manipal and about 60 acres are filled with water and the rest has trees and shrubs. The water of the lake is sourced from natural springs. A small half-acre man-made islet amidst the lake with birds chirping on its trees adds to its beauty. There is a two-km walking track around the lake and there are also plans to construct a bicycle track.

The Manipal Birders organisation has been spotting birds in and around Manipal. It has spotted various birds including Little Grebe, Rock Pigeon, Greater Coucal, Asian Koel, Little Ringed Plover, Common Green Shank, Asian Openbill, Little Cormorant, Black Drongo, Purple Heron, Asian Brown Flycatcher and Barn Owl.

“We are planning to plant native and fruit bearing trees to attract more birds. There are some patches with acacia trees. These can be cleared and native and fruit bearing trees can be grown in these places. But it would take three years for these trees to grow and it may take five to six years for a sanctuary to come up,” he said.

Arun Kumar, project director of Nirmiti Kendra, which has taken up various projects at the lake, said that there was space for constructing watch towers to watch the birds. “If need be, another small artificial islet can be constructed in the lake for the birds to roost. The lake can be developed as a small bird sanctuary,” he said.


Third in tourism revenue generation, Karnataka misses out on central benefits (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/third-in-tourism-revenue-generation-ktaka-misses-out-on-central-benefits/articleshow/74938792.cms)

A prime example of this was the state’s initial proposal to promote the coastal tourism circuit, as part of which it had identified destinations in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts. But the project implementation failed to take off. The Centre had allocated Rs 100 crore for the purpose and released Rs 18 crore.

“For almost two years, the project faced a technical issue. While the DPR was prepared by a private agency hired by the previous governments, there was a huge mismatch between the project report and the ground reality. Finally, the government decided to shut it down and sought for a change in use. The Centre denied it and Karnataka lost out,” said tourism minister CT Ravi, adding that the government even sent back the released amount back to the Centre.

Today, Karnataka has sent three more proposals to the Centre for developing three major tourism circuits: One surrounding Jog Falls in Shivamogga and including Chitradurga and Davanagere districts, the coastal circuit of DK, Udupi and UK and the Hampi circuit.

ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರದ ಶಿಪ್ಪಿಂಗ್ ಸಚಿವಾಲಯದ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ಗುರುಪುರ (ಫಲ್ಗುಣಿ) ಹಾಗೂ ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ ನದಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನಗೊಳ್ಳುವ ವಾಟರ್ನ್ಪೋರ್ಟ್ಸ್ ಸುಸಜ್ಜಿತ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಗಳ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾ ವನೆ 100 ಕೋ.ರೂ.ವೆಚ್ಚವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ.

ಜಲ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ ಉತ್ತೇಜಿಸುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಫಲ್ಗುಣಿ, ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ ನದಿ ತೀರದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಸಿಹಿತ್ಲು ಕಡಲ ತೀರದ ಬಳಿ ನಂದಿನಿ ನದಿ ತಟದ ಸಹಿತ 13 ಕಡೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತೇಲುವ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಗಳನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುವ ಒಟ್ಟು 26 ಕೋ.ರೂ. ವೆಚ್ಚದ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ಕೆಲವು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ದ.ಕ.ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಡಳಿತ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ರೂಪಿಸಿ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ ಇಲಾಖೆಗೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಫಲ್ಗುಣಿ ನದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಳೂರು ಸೇತುವೆ ಬಳಿ, ಬಂಗ್ರಕೂಳೂರು ನದಿ ತೀರ, ಸುಲ್ತಾನ್ ಬತ್ತೇರಿ, ತಣ್ಣೀರುಬಾವಿ ಸಮೀಪ, ಕೂಳೂರು ಉತ್ತರ ಮರುಳು ಮಿಶ್ರಿತ ಪ್ರದೇಶ, ಹಳೆ ಬಂದರು, ಕಸ್ಬಾ ಬೆಂಗ್ರೆ, ಹಳೆ ಬಂದರು ಫೆರಿ ಸಮೀಪ, ಬೆಂಗ್ರೆ ಸ್ಯಾಂಡ್ ಫೀಟ್ ಬಳಿ ಹಾಗೂ ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ ನದಿ ತೀರದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಪ್ಪಿನಮೊಗರು ಹಳೆಯ ಫೆರಿ ಸಮೀಪ, ಉಳ್ಳಾಲ ಹಳೆಯ ಫೆರಿ ಬಳಿ, ಸಸಿಹಿತ್ಲು ಕಡಲ ತೀರದ ಬಳಿ ನಂದಿನಿ ನದಿ ತಟದ ಬಳಿ ಸುವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಿತ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಗಳ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿದೆ.

ಆರ್ಥಿಕತೆಗೆ ಉತ್ತೇಜನ
ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಗುರುಪುರ, ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ ಫಲ್ಗುಣಿ ನದಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಜಲಕ್ರೀಡೆಗಳಿಗೆ ವಿಫುಲ ಅವಕಾಶವಿದ್ದು ಕಳೆದ ವರ್ಷ ಜನವರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದಿದ್ದ ನದಿ ಉತ್ಸವ ಇದನ್ನು ತೆರೆದಿಟ್ಟಿತ್ತು. ನದಿ ಉತ್ಸವದಲ್ಲಿ ರೋಯಿಂಗ್, ಸ್ಟಾಂಡ್ ಆಫ್ ಫೆಡಲಿಂಗ್, ವಿಂಡ್ ಸರ್ಫಿಂಗ್ ಜೆಟ್ಸೆಕಿ, ಸ್ಪೀಡ್ಬೋಟು ಸಹಿತ ವಿವಿಧ ಜಲಕ್ರೀಡೆಗಳು ಜನಾಕರ್ಷಣೆ ಗಳಿಸಿದ್ದವು. ಅನಂತರ ಜಲಕ್ರೀಡೆ ಗಳನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಲು ಎರಡು ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳಿಗೂ ಅನುಮತಿಯನ್ನು ಕೂಡ ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಸುಸಜ್ಜಿತವಾದ ತೇಲುವ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಗಳ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾಗದೆ ನದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಿತವಾಗಿ ಜಲ ಕ್ರೀಡೆಗಳನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಲು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಜಲಕ್ರೀಡೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಮೂಲಸೌಕರ್ಯಗಳ ಉತ್ತೇಜನದಿಂದ ಜಲ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮಕ್ಕೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಒತ್ತು ಲಭಿಸಲಿದ್ದು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಪೂರಕವಾಗಲಿದೆ.

ಶಿಪ್ಪಿಂಗ್ ಸಚಿವಾಲಯದಿಂದ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನ
ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕನ್ನಡದ ಕರಾವಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆತ್ಮನಿರ್ಭರ ಪರಿಕಲ್ಪನೆಯಡಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಶಿಪ್ಪಿಂಗ್ ಸಚಿವಾಲಯ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ವಿವಿಧ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನಗೊಳ್ಳಲಿದ್ದು ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಟರ್ ನ್ಪೋರ್ಟ್ಸ್ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿಗಳ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವೂ ಸೇರಿದೆ. ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಶಿಪ್ಪಿಂಗ್ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸಚಿವ ಸುಖ್ ಮಾಂಡವೀಯ ಅವರು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ, ಗೋವಾ ಹಾಗೂ ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರ ಕರಾವಳಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳ ಸಂಸದರೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಡೆಸಿದ ವೀಡಿಯೋ ಸಂವಾದದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

Five more beaches from state for Blue Flag certification (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=761867)

Mangaluru, Oct 16: A team of experts formed by the Central government to make necessary preparations for identifying and getting the international Blue Flag tags (https://www.surfertoday.com/environment/what-is-the-blue-flag) for the beaches, have chosen five beaches of the state including Dakshina Kannada beaches, Tannirbavi and Iddya near Suratkal, among others. They will be prepared for the Blue Flag recognition in the second phase.

Once all the infrastructure is developed, these beaches will apply for the Blue Flag recognition. Talapady seashore has lost out in the race because of the sea erosion that is rampant there. The experts have also visited Bengre and Panambur beaches to assess their chances in the second phase.

The department concerned has identified 104 beaches in Karnataka coast. Out of them, 16 have been recommended as high-quality centres. The ministry of environment, forest and climate change of the Central government and National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management have deputed these experts. After applying rigid yardsticks, these experts have finally chosen beaches for the second round.

The other beaches under consideration are Malpe, Om, Nirvana, Apsarakonda, Kudle, Ravindranath Tagore, Gokarna, Murudeshwar, Devabagh, Padukere, Paduvari, Someshwar, Talapady, Harvada and Majali.


Why Sasihithlu beach is not mentioned? Is sea erosion the reason? Shouldn't a beach chosen for promotion as international surfing beach have such a certification? Is there a plan to hoist any other safety flag (https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/the-complete-list-of-beach-flags-and-warning-signals) in Sasihitlu and other beaches?

The major features of the project are promenade development from Nethravati railway bridge (near Morgan’s Gate) to Bolar sea face to a distance of 2.1 k.m., construction of a hanging bridge across the Phalguni (or Gurupura river) from Sulthan Bathery to Tannirbavi, refurbishment of water jetties at Tannirbavi and Sulthan Bathery, and creating infrastructure for water sports activities.

Promenade development

Promenade development is one of the key features of the project. It includes setting up a biodiversity park and creation of a bird-watching area near the Netravati railway bridge, building a pathway of 6 m width for a stretch of 2.1 km and laying a cycle track of 3 m width from the bridge to Bolar sea face. The other facilities to be created include establishing an outdoor gym, creating a cycle stand and a buggy point for the introduction of buggies, setting up of play area for children, a pet park, and developing a park with seating arrangements and landscaping.

In addition, there will be a ghat to enable the visitors to touch the water. A boardwalk facility will be created inside the waters at the South Point. It will have a boat making experience yard. The entry and exit plaza will be built near the Netravati bridge. There will be decks, kiosks for shops, ticket counter, security, washrooms, and other public amenities. A sewage treatment plant too will be constructed. The treated water will be used for watering parks and gardens.

The promenade development project, which will be taken up in two phases, will cost ₹60 crore. The phase I will be from Netravati bridge to South Point covering 1.3 km and phase II will be from South Point to Bolara sea face, covering 0.75 k.m.

Smart Road project languishes owing to lack of coordination (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/smart-road-project-languishes-owing-to-lack-of-coordination/articleshow/74248626.cms)

The Smart Road concept includes broad footpaths with carriageway, railings and bollard system as traffic enforcement method. Placing bollards on either side of each entrance to avoid entry of vehicles on to the footpath, trees to form part of urban design and thereby making the road pedestrian-friendly.


What kind of great achievement is this when already no vehicles are able to enter footpath in this stretch? The main problem was slope of vehicles entrance road to government offices, pedestrians were unable to negotiate comfortably about 3 feet depth of the entrance gates. A few street hawkers were also creating problems. And milk parlour by occupying good space of footpath was also creating problems. Unfenced depth of staircase between Townhall and Gandhi Park was also a safety issue. Other issue was vehicles parked on zebracrossings on the way to footpath from zebracrossings at both AB Shetty Circle and Clock Tower. If possible make these junctions more safe by closing down all extra roads/entrances going to nearby buidings and construct entrances to buildings away from junctions. For example, entrance from Police Station to AB Shetty circle creates enough safety issues there.

I think they are going to work on this stretch again and again with whatever amount is allocated to enhance pedestrian infrastructure in future also.

Not Just a POLE, It’s a SMART POLE & 15 of them to be Installed in Smart City! But, Do We Really Need Them? (https://www.mangalorean.com/not-just-a-pole-its-a-smart-pole-15-of-them-to-be-installed-in-smart-city-but-do-we-really-need-them/)

When the Smart City is in desperate need of Good Footpaths, Scientific Roads, Better Drainage System, etc etc, what is the need in hurrying up with project like this one- which hardly benefits the society-the citizens, which includes Motorists and Pedestrians.

Speaking to Team Mangalorean, Er Arun Prabha- General Manager (Technical) at MSCL said, ” Mangaluru Smart City Ltd.(MSCL) has launched smart poles project in Mangaluru City under the Smart Cities Mission. The project is innovatively structured in such a manner that it delivers bundled smart services to citizens and maximum values for money to the city authority. Mangaluru Smart City has decided to install 15 Nos. Smart poles, in main Junctions across the city. MSCL has chosen the smart pole location keeping in mind the high foot fall areas, important junctions, vehicular traffic and call drop areas so that the maximum benefits can be obtained”

He further said, “Smart Pole offers multiple services to the city residents. The integral parts of the smart pole are: Smart pole has telecom tower infrastructure to match with city aesthetic and ready to accommodate upcoming technology as 4G and 5G; Full Colour Variable Messaging Sign (5 ft x 3 Ft); Wi – Fi hot spot services for the city; Surveillance cameras for safety and traffic violation detection; Public Address system; Mobile based application with functionality of SoS; Centralizes Command and Control center for monitoring the implementation of smart solutions; and Optical fiber for better bandwidth to the Wi-Fi users/providing back haul to telecom operators. Provisional (Option)- Electric Vehicle charging points to promote use of electric vehicles in the city; USB Chargers for Mobile; Environmental Sensors to monitor Air-quality, temperature and humidity (Optional); and Energy efficient and remotely controllable LED Street Lights – (based on Centralized Control & Monitoring System)”

“The benefits of Smart Pole are- Unlike the conventional tower, Smart pole looks good and matches with city infrastructure. It has the telecom power infrastructure in built to facilitate telecom operators to place their equipment; Smart pole has UPS to eliminate Diesel generator as secondary power source. UPS battery provides the back up during electricity outage; Wi-Fi connectivity at 15 Hot Spots locations, where city resident foot fall is increasing. It provides free Wi Fi for defined time periods to the registered users; Optical fiber networks across the city ensures robust connectivity and enable the city to accommodate future technologies. It will also help to establish connectivity between Government departments, City infrastructure and Command & Control Center; Camera surveillance ensures the safety, security and traffic management in the city.”

“Digital advertising panels across the city through smart bill boards will keep the city residents updated with city information and provide the platform to the corporates for promotion; SOS application for emergency, distress, citizen’s response system will facilitate the city residents with quick response in case of emergency; Mobile application for citizen services will help the citizens to use the government service through smart phone. Provisional (Option) – Charging points for Mobile will help the citizens on move; and Charging facility for electric vehicles through EV Charging Points will encourage the use on electric vehicle which will help to reduce carbon foot print” added Er Arun Prabha.

Yours Truly of Team Mangalorean noticed there was some thing wrong in the work. Instead of the display board and the cameras which were suppose to face the Mallikatta Circle, were seen facing the Jugul Building- and that was due to the faulty work of the contractors while constructing the base.

I want to ask the person or persons behind this Smart Pole idea which alerts motorists on traffic rules, Covid-19 guidelines, important messages/warnings etc,- do they expect a driver or a rider to stop and read the messages showing on these LED screen, if not how are they going to read all the messages etc that is displayed randomly.


I think most use of these are during crisis time. Mostly this system was not ready in Mangaluru during lockdown period. Anyway the government should give priority to footpath, drainage etc.

5 Ways in which Smart City Control Rooms Are Helping The COVID Crisis (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/351256)

Smart cities are well equipped with equipment such as video walls, and advanced video feeds of the region which has come together to create war rooms. In Pimpri Chinchwad, close to Pune, one of the highly affected areas in Maharashtra, the war room uses a strong network of surveillance cameras along with location-based services, and analytical tools. These war rooms are also central zones where information and updates are disseminated to the public.

... In Karnataka, under the Mangaluru Smart City, they have set up a dedicated call centre to advise citizens who are self-quarantined, along with addressing other grievances.

ICCC has come in handy for city administrators who aim to use analytics to predict the spread of the pandemic and to deploy emergency response resources. The District Administration under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Shri Sindhu B Rupesh took over the ICCC from March 24th 2020 immediately after the announcement of the very first lockdown in Karnataka to combat the COVID-19. The Police, the District Health Officials, Disaster Management Officials, Relief Distributors, Mangaluru Smart City Limited along with 24X7 support converted the ICCC into COVID-19 War Room.

The ICCC has also become a 24X7 dedicated Call Center with helpline No 1077 operationalized for preventing, monitoring and controlling the deadly virus. Telemedicine services are provided for advising the citizens under self-quarantine. The Command Centre has become the single point control for Multi-location, Multi-department and at Multi-level activities. It is fully equipped to monitor, collect, consolidate, and report real-time data on the pandemic which is the complete application of Disaster Management & Emergency Response (DM&ER) solution.

Along with Disaster Management & Emergency Response, other major IoT applications like monitoring City Bus Transport (Intelligent Transport Management System); City’s House to House garbage collection (Solid Waste Management System); Air Quality of the City (Environmental Sensors); City Surveillance (CCTV Cameras); Variable Message System; Public Address System (PAS), Geographical Information System (GIS), One Touch Mangaluru (Web) and other technology enabled solutions are deployed and functioning 24x7.

Nothing wrong in teaching Industry 4.0 as Industry 5.0 (or Society 5.0 (https://www.keidanren.or.jp/en/policy/2018/095_booklet.pdf)) is further enhancement of it and most importantly aiming to harness these technologies to meet sustainable development goals (https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals.html) (SDGs (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/)).

I forgot to add 'Health Cloud' to the list of cloud technology. Anyway many colleges of Tulunadu have started teaching healthcare informatics already.

Similarly we need command and control centres in other districts of Tulunadu (& Malenadu, Kodagu, Uttara Kannada etc) 1 (https://epaper.hosadigantha.com/epaper/edition/2851/mangaluru/page/2) 2 (https://www.udayavani.com/english-news/manipal-udupi-malpe-to-be-smart-cities-soon). Hope that our educational institutes pave way for 'Super Smart Tulunadu'.

Accelerate work on roads, footpaths in Mangaluru: DC (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mangaluru/accelerate-work-on-roads-footpaths-in-mangaluru-dc-876927.html)

Political games: Mangaluru limping in Smart City project (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=755511)

Mangaluru, Sep 27: In the last four years, only seven projects worth Rs 10.62 crore have been completed under the Smart city project of this city.

Though Rs 301 crore grant has been released for the development of this city as Smart City, only Rs 41.43 crore have been spent so far. Out of the 47 projects planned, only seven are completed. Another 26 projects estimated to cost Rs 558.78 crore are in progress. Four projects costing Rs 81 crore are in the tender stage. Five projects worth Rs 259.54 crore are in the CPR stage.

He said that buses moving on State Bank-Car Street-Kudroli-Mannagudda route have to move via clock tower, Hampankatta, K S Rao Road, Navbharat Circle, Dongerkery Road, New Chitra Junction and move towards Mannagudda. Movement of heavy goods vehicles traffic coming towards Navbharat Circle from New Chitra Junction has been banned.


Why not MCC widen a direct road from RR Circle to New Chitra?

MSCL Managing Director Mohammed Nazeer said that the 1.8-km-long old pipeline line will be replaced at a cost of Rs. 3 crore, which includes the cost of constructing manholes. The concrete road will be laid at a cost of Rs. 9 crore. After restoring traffic movement on the stretch, MSCL will take up the work of beautification at a cost of Rs. 4.95 crore, he said.

QR Code Based House to House Garbage Collection Begins at Mangaluru Smart City (https://www.theweek.in/wire-updates/business/2020/10/08/pwr8-mangaluru-smart-city.html)

The Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL) has recently begun the implementation of its QR code-based Solid Waste Management System (SWMS), which is set to cover all the 60 wards of Mangaluru, in a phased manner. The first-of-its kind system will increase the efficiency of solid waste management in the city multi-fold.

The first phase of SWMS will cover 88,000 houses - so far 5,000 houses have been installed with the QR codes. The commissioning of QR codes for the rest of the houses is expected to be completed by the end of November.

The smart garbage collection system will help the City Corporation track the movement of the garbage vehicles, monitor the status of the garbage collection, provide provisions for the public to record complaints about garbage collection. The door-to-door primary garbage vehicles will scan the QR codes displayed at the gates of the houses, while collecting the garbage. The vehicles will then transfer the garbage to the secondary garbage vehicles and from there the garbage will be sent to the dumping yard.

The QR code installed at houses can also be extended for other public services such as payment of electricity bills, property tax, and phone bills, among others.

Mangaluru Smart City will be one of the first smart cities in Karnataka to go live. Many major IoT and technology-enabled solutions like monitoring city bus transport with Intelligent Transport Management System, disaster management & emergency response, air quality of the city using environmental sensors, city surveillance, variable message system; public address system, geographical information system, and One Touch Mangaluru portal are already deployed and are functioning 24x7. The Integrated Command and Control Centers (ICCC) of Mangaluru Smart City, a major component of the smart city project, is already being used as a war room for the administrators to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.


So, after goods, humans/animals now houses also have QR code or aadhaar card! Where should be QR code be placed? Currently, those houses connected to main road through a walking lane keep waste bags in main road itself. Some also use backdoor to keep waste on road behind their house. They may have to stick QR code everywhere. What are the ways waste collectors have to evade scanning requirements? Can't these QR codes be scanned directly from a book instead of visiting houses? How nice if we had a way of changing QR code dynamically now and then.

City plans development of 12km-long bicycle lane (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=762112)

The 12 km-long route that has been identified for being developed as a bicycle lane will have to be upgraded to make it fit for bicycle riding. At many places the surface at the road is uneven. Wherever the road-roller can reach, the lane will have to be levelled with the help of tar.

Not only the currently proposed bicycle lane, but even mention of bicycle lanes is also made in the riverfront plan in the city. There will be a bicycle docking station for the tourists which is to be built. The tourists can take the bicycles and move on the riverfront road lane, taking a view of the beach etc, if the project materialises.

Door-to-door campaign on waste segregation today (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/door-to-door-campaign-on-waste-segregation-today/article32749401.ece)

Bio-mining proposal awaits govt. approval (https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/bio-mining-proposal-awaits-govt-approval/article32749403.ece)

Bio-mining is a process involving digging out previously dumped or disposed of material from landfill sites to recover plastic, metal, glass, combustibles, other fine material and soil. Plastic, metals and other material thus recovered can be sent for re-cycling. The bio-degradable waste in a landfill site gets decomposed. When non-biodegradable material in the same site are recovered and sent for re-cycling, the land under them can be reclaimed for further use. With this, there is no need to scout for more land for dumping municipal solid waste.

Bio-mining is estimated to cost about Rs. 17 crore, the Commissioner said.

The dumped solid waste spread over 25 acres, including the 13.5 acres of private land, in Pachchanady is estimated to be six lakh tonnes. Once bio-mining is taken up, it is expected to come down to 2.4 lakh tonnes as the refuse derived fuel (RDF) material (such as plastic recovered) in the site are estimated at 40 %, he said.

The Rs. 17 crore cost estimated excludes the transportation of the recovered material in bales. Bales of plastic recovered will have to be transported to cement industries which are at least 700 km away from Mangaluru. It required an additional fund, he said.

Ullal generates over 18 tonnes of waste per day out of which about 4-5 tonnes is dry waste

The DWCC project has been developed by Hasiru Dala and APD Foundation after working with Ullal CMC for over 10 months and understanding the current Solid Waste Management (SWM) at Ullal.

A survey was done to determine the number of waste pickers in Ullal. Waste picker identity cards were issued to them. These waste pickers will be operating the DWCC centre.

The collected dry waste will be sent to the recyclers. The waste pickers and the operator will get their earnings from the revenue generated from the sale of recyclable waste. The surplus generated will be reinvested for expansion of the facility.

Wet and sanitary waste will be collected daily and dry waste will be collected only on Fridays. Wet waste should not be handed over in plastic bags. It should be given in a small bin directly to the solid waste collectors.

The Commissioner said that all traders should henceforth display a board in front of their establishments that they are not selling and using banned plastic material. They should keep green colour bins for wet waste and blue colour bins for dry waste. If not, the civic body will take steps to cancel their trade licence or it will not collect waste from them.

ಹತ್ತು ಹಲವಾರು ಸಾಧನೆಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸಾಗಿ ಬಂದ ಎ.ಜೆ. ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯು ರೋಗಿಗಳ ಆರೈಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಕರಾವಳಿ ಭಾಗದ ಅತ್ಯಾಧುನಿಕ ದರ್ಜೆಯ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ವೈದ್ಯಕೀಯ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರವಾಗಿ ಗಮನ ಸೆಳೆದಿದೆ. 1,200 ಬೆಡ್ ಗಳ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದು, ದಿನವೊಂದಕ್ಕೆ 600ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಮಂದಿ ಹೊರ ರೋಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಒಳರೋಗಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಉಚಿತ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯ ಜನಸೇವೆಗೆ ಸಂದ ಹೆಗ್ಗಳಿಕೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.

...

ಕರಾವಳಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಪ್ರತಿಷ್ಠಿತ ಎ.ಜೆ. ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಶೋಧನಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ, ಇದೀಗ ವೈದ್ಯಕೀಯ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದರಲ್ಲೂ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಾ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅತ್ಯುತ್ಕೃಷ್ಟ ಸಂಶೋಧನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಬಹುದಾದ ‘ರೋಬೋಟ್ ಸಹಾಯಕ ಶಸ್ತ್ರ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಾ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ’ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಗೊಂಡಿದೆ.

‘ಡ ವಿನ್ಸಿ 4ನೇ ತಲೆಮಾರಿನ ರೋಬೋಟ್ ಸಹಾಯಕ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಾ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ’ ಎನ್ನುವ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಸುಧಾರಿತ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಾ ವಿಧಾನ ಇದಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಎ.ಜೆ. ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯು ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಈ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿರುವ 4ನೇ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.

...

ಕರಾವಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮೆಡಿಕಲ್ ಟೂರಿಸಂಗೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳಿದ್ದು, ಸದ್ಯ ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲೂ ಶೇ.10ರಷ್ಟು ರೋಗಿಗಳು ವಿದೇಶದಿಂದ ಬಂದು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕನ್ನಡ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮೆಡಿಕಲ್ ಟೂರಿಸಂ ಉತ್ತೇಜಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಪೂರಕ ಮೂಲಭೂತ ಸೌಕರ್ಯಗಳ ಕೊರತೆಯಿದೆ. ಮಂಗಳೂರು ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅಂತಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ವಿಮಾನಗಳ ಹಾರಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುವಂತೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಮೇಲ್ದರ್ಜೆಗೇರದಿರುವ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದಲೂ ಹೆಲ್ತ್ ಟೂರಿಸಂಗೆ ಹಿನ್ನಡೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

The protesters urged the government to set up a full-fledged cancer hospital in Dakshina Kannada.

The vacancies in PHCs, CHCs and government hospitals should be filled. Eight full-fledged 100-bedded taluk hospitals should be set up in the district, demanded the protesters.

Samithi’s Sunil Kumar Bajal said as per the population of the district, it should have had 120 PHCs, 30 community health centres with 40 beds each and eight taluk hospitals with 100 beds each. Unfortunately, the district has only 80 PHCs, seven CHCs and four taluk hospitals.

A majority of the PHCs, CHCs and taluk hospitals have vacant posts of doctors and super speciality doctors. The failure to sanction a medical college to the district shows a lack of will power among the elected representatives, he said.

ಗರಿಗೆದರಿದ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಗ್ರಾಮಾಂತರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ಕನಸು - ರಾಜ್ಯ ಮುಂಗಡ ಪತ್ರ ಮಂಡನೆಗೆ ದಿನಗಣನೆ; ಒತ್ತಡ ಹೇರುವುದು ಅಗತ್ಯ (https://www.udayavani.com/homepage-karavali-edition/karavali/karavali-puttur-belthangady/pattur-rural-district-is-a-dream)

ಪುತ್ತೂರು: ರಾಜ್ಯ ಮುಂಗಡ ಪತ್ರ ಮಂಡನೆಗೆ ದಿನಗಣನೆ ಆರಂಭಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಗ್ರಾಮಾಂತರ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಘೋಷಣೆ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಒತ್ತಡ ಹೇರುವ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿದೆ. ಹಲವು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರವಾಗಬೇಕು ಎಂಬ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಮುಂದಿನ ಮೂರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲದರೂ ಸ್ಪಂದನೆಯ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಹೊಂದಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಸ್ವತಃ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಚುನಾವಣೆ ಸಂದರ್ಭ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ರೂಪಿಸುವ ಭರವಸೆ ನೀಡಿ ರುವುದು ಈ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಕ್ಕೆ ಪುಷ್ಟಿ ನೀಡಿದೆ.

ಹೈಟೆಕ್ ಬಸ್ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ, ಕೆಎಸ್ಆರ್ಟಿಸಿ ವಿಭಾಗೀಯ ಕೇಂದ್ರ, ಮಹಿಳಾ ಠಾಣೆ, ಮಹಿಳಾ ಕಾಲೇಜು, ಮಿನಿ ವಿಧಾನಸೌಧ, ನಗರಸಭೆ, ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯ ಕಟ್ಟಡ, ಸರಕಾರಿ ಮೆಡಿಕಲ್ ಕಾಲೇಜಿಗೆ 40 ಎಕರೆ ಸ್ಥಳ ಮೀಸಲು, ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ತರಬೇತಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಪೂರಕವಾಗಿವೆ.

ಅರ್ಹತೆ ಏನು?

ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ರಚಿಸಲಾದ ರಾಮನಗರ ಮತ್ತು ಚಿಕ್ಕಬಳ್ಳಾಪುರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಿಂತ ಅಧಿಕ ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ, ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಇರುವ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಸಂಗತಿ. ರಾಮನಗರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಒಟ್ಟು ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ 3,575.58 ಚದರ ಮೀ., ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆ 10.5 ಲಕ್ಷ ಇದೆ. ಚಿಕ್ಕಾಬಳ್ಳಾಪುರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ 10 ಲಕ್ಷ ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಮತ್ತು 4,100 ಚದರ ಮೀಟರ್ ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. 2011ರ ಜನಗಣತಿ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಗೆ ಸೇರಬಹುದಾದ ಐದು ತಾಲೂಕುಗಳ ಒಟ್ಟು ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆ 10.15 ಲಕ್ಷ ಇದೆ. 3,979 ಚದರ ಮೀ. ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಈ ಅಂಕಿ-ಅಂಶವನ್ನು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿದರೆ, ರಾಮನಗರ ಮತ್ತು ಚಿಕ್ಕಬಳ್ಳಾಪುರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ವಿಸ್ತೀರ್ಣ ಮತ್ತು ಜನಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗಿಂತ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವಿತ ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ದೊಡ್ಡದಿದೆ. ಪುತ್ತೂರು ತಾಲೂಕನ್ನು ಆವರಿಸಿರುವ ಸುಳ್ಯ, ಕಡಬ, ಬೆಳ್ತಂಗಡಿ, ಬಂಟ್ವಾಳವನ್ನು ಸೇರಿಸಿ ಪುತ್ತೂರನ್ನು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರವನ್ನಾಗಿ ರೂಪಿಸಬಹುದು.

ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ
ಪುತ್ತೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ರಚನೆ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ಘೋಷಣೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ಕಡಿಮೆ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಬದಲಾಗಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕಿರುವ ಮೂಲಸೌಕರ್ಯ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಲು ಆದ್ಯತೆ ನೀಡಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಮುಂದೆ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಇದು ಪೂರಕ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ. ಪುತ್ತೂರಿಗೆ ಎಸ್ಪಿ ಕಚೇರಿ ಸ್ಥಳಾಂತರ ಮೊದಲಾದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿದ್ದು ಬಹಳ; ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದು ಮಾತ್ರ ಅಲ್ಪ! - ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಹೊಸ ಯೋಜನೆ ನೀಡದ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಬಜೆಟ್ (https://www.udayavani.com/district-news/dakshina-kannada-news/the-long-awaited-the-only-thing-that-got-was-a-short)

ರಾಜಧಾನಿ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಗಾಗಿ ಹಲವಾರು ಯೋಜನೆಗಳನ್ನು ರಾಜ್ಯ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿದ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳು ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಎರಡನೇ ಮುಖ್ಯ ನಗರ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಹೊಸ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಪಾಲಿಗೂ ಮಹತ್ವದ ಯಾವುದೇ ಹೊಸ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳಿಲ್ಲ.

ಮೂಲ್ಕಿ: ಹಿನ್ನೀರು ಮೀನುಮರಿ ಉತ್ಪಾದನ ಕೇಂದ್ರ
ಕರಾವಳಿ ಜಲಕೃಷಿ ಎಂದೇ ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಡುವ ಹಿನ್ನೀರು ಜಲ ಕೃಷಿಯು ದೇಶದ, ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಒಟ್ಟಾರೆ ಮೀನುಗಾರಿಕೆಯ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಪಾತ್ರ ವಹಿಸಿದೆ. ಈ ಹಿನ್ನೀರು ಮೀನುಗಾರಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಸದೃಢಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಮೂಲ್ಕಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿನ್ನೀರು ಮೀನು ಮರಿ ಉತ್ಪಾದನಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರವನ್ನು 2 ಕೋ.ರೂ. ವೆಚ್ಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದು ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖೀಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಕುಳಾಯಿ: ಮೀನು ರಫ್ತು ಸ್ಥಾವರ
ಕುಳಾಯಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಮೀನುಗಾರಿಕೆ ಬಂದರು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಈ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ರಫ್ತು ವಹಿವಾಟು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಆಧುನಿಕ ಕರಾವಳಿ ಮೀನು ರಫ್ತು ಸ್ಥಾವರವನ್ನು ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರದ ಸಾಗರಮಾಲಾ ಯೋಜನೆಯಡಿ ಹಾಗೂ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರಕಾರದ ಸಹಭಾಗಿತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ 12.50 ಕೋ.ರೂ. ವೆಚ್ಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಘೋಷಿಸಿಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು-ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ರೈಲು ವೇಗ ಉದ್ದೇಶ
ಹಾಸನ-ಮಂಗಳೂರು ರೈಲ್ ಡೆವೆಲಪ್ಮೆಂಟ್ ಕಾರ್ಪೊರೇಷನ್ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯು 2020-21ನೇ ಸಾಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸಕಲೇಶಪುರ, ಸುಬ್ರಹ್ಮಣ್ಯ ಲ್ದಾಣಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ಘಾಟಿ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಕ್ಷಮತೆಯನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಇದರಿಂದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು-ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ನಡುವಿನ ರೈಲುಗಳ ವೇಗ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವುದಲ್ಲದೆ, ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿ ರೈಲು ಸೇವೆ ಆರಂಭಿಸಲು ನೆರವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಯಾವ ಯೋಜನೆ ಎಂಬುದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟತೆಯಿಲ್ಲ!

ಪಶ್ಚಿಮವಾಹಿನಿಗೆ ಒತ್ತು
ಕರಾವಳಿ ಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಶ್ಚಿಮಘಟ್ಟದ ನದಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡಲಾಗಿ ಕಿಂಡಿ ಅಣೆಕಟ್ಟು ಯೋಜನೆಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯಾಪಕವಾಗಿ ಅನುಷ್ಠನಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಕುರಿತು ಮಾಸ್ಟರ್ ಪ್ಲಾನ್ ಸಿದ್ಧಪಡಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಅಡಿಕೆ ಬೆಳೆಗಾರರ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ದೀರ್ಘಾವಧಿ ಕೃಷಿ ಸಾಲದ ಪೈಕಿ ಗರಿಷ್ಠ 2 ಲಕ್ಷ ರೂ.ವರೆಗಿನ ಸಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ಶೇ.5 ಬಡ್ಡಿ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿ, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಹಿತ ರಾಜ್ಯದ 10 ಮಹಾನಗರ ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯ ಕೊಳಚೆ ಪ್ರದೇಶ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಲು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಗಳೇನಿತ್ತು?
ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಪಾಲಿಕೆ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳ ವಿಶೇಷ ಅನುದಾನ, ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳ ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹ, ಕೈಗಾರಿಕಾ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಏರ್ಪೋರ್ಟ್ನ ವಿಮಾನಗಳಿಗೆ ವಿಧಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ಎಟಿಎಫ್ ವ್ಯಾಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿ, 3ನೇ ಹಂತದ ಜೆಟ್ಟಿ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೆ ಅನುದಾನ, ತುಂಬೆ ವೆಂಟೆಡ್ ಡ್ಯಾಂನಲ್ಲಿ 7 ಮೀಟರ್ ನೀರು ನಿಲುಗಡೆಗೆ ಅನುದಾನ, ಮಂದಾರ ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ನಿರ್ವಸಿತರಿಗೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ, ಮೂಲ ಸೌಕರ್ಯ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಅನುದಾನದ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ಇದಾವುದೂ ಈ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. ಜತೆಗೆ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ಘೋಷಣೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ಹಳೆ ಬಂದರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೋಸ್ಟಲ್ ಬರ್ತ್ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ, ನದಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಆಯ್ದಕಡೆ ಬೋಟ್ಹೌಸ್ಗಳು, ಸರಕಾರಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸೂಪರ್ಸ್ಪೆಷಾಲಿಟಿ ಆಗಿ ಉನ್ನತೀಕರಣ, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸಹಿತ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಕೆಲವು ಕಡೆ ಡಿಜಿಟಲ್ ಸ್ತನರೇಖನ (ಮ್ಯಾಮೋಗ್ರಾಮ್) ಹಾಗೂ ಪಾಪ್ಸ್ಮಿಯರ್ ಸ್ಕ್ಯಾನಿಂಗ್, ಕೊಣಾಜೆ – ಮಣಿಪಾಲ ನಾಲೆಡ್ಜ್-ಹೆಲ್ತ್ ಕಾರಿಡಾರ್, ಕೊಣಾಜೆ -ಮಣಿಪಾಲ ನಾಲೆಡ್ಜ್-ಹೆಲ್ತ್ ಕಾರಿಡಾರ್ ಯೋಜನೆ ಬಗ್ಗೆಯೂ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವಿಲ್ಲ.

ಹಳಿಯೇರದ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ, ಮೋನೋ ರೈಲು!
2018ರಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಮಾರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ವೇಳೆ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಮಾದರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪೂರ್ವಕಾರ್ಯಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ವರದಿ ತಯಾರಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಈ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವನ್ನೇ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ನಗರಕ್ಕೆ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ಕನಸು ಸದ್ಯ ಕಾರ್ಯರೂಪಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಯಿಲ್ಲ. ಜತೆಗೆ, 2008ರಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಸರಕಾರದ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದ ಮೋನೋ ರೈಲು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯೂ ಈಗ ಹಳ್ಳಸೇರಿದೆ.

ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ-ಗುರುಪುರ: ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗ
ದ.ಕ. ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ವಿಪುಲ ಅವಕಾಶಗಳಿವೆ. ಸಾಗರ, ಹಿನ್ನೀರು ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ, ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ, ಹೆಲ್ತ್ ಟೂರಿಸಂನಲ್ಲೂ ಅವಕಾಶವಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಇದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಗಮನ ನೀಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ಘೋಷಣೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖೀಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರದ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಒಳನಾಡು ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಾಧಿಕಾರ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯ ಸಹಭಾಗಿತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ನದಿಗಳಾದ ಗುರುಪುರ, ನೇತ್ರಾವತಿ ಜಲಸಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನು, ದ್ವೀಪಗಳನ್ನು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಿ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತೇಜನ ನೀಡಲು ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮ ರೂಪಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದು ಉಲ್ಲೇಖೀಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ಕೃಷ್ಟತ ಕೇಂದ್ರ
ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸಹಿತ ಹಲವೆಡೆ ಸರಕಾರಿ ಉಪಕರಣಾಗಾರ ಮತ್ತು ತರಬೇತಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 353 ಕೋ.ರೂ. ವೆಚ್ಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ಕೃಷ್ಟತ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಇದರಿಂದ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕಾ ಉದ್ಯಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳ ಉನ್ನತ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಡೊಮೈನ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕೌಶಲ ತರಬೇತಿ ನೀಡುವುದರ ಮೂಲಕ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಯುವಜನತೆಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗವಕಾಶ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಮುಂದಿನ 5 ವರ್ಷಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 12,600 ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ನಿಯುಕ್ತಿಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಗುರಿ ಇರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.


The government just want to collect tax from Mangaluru to develop the parched city and the surrounding region. All research & innovation funds have gone to the parched city. None of promised Hardware, Advanced Manufacturing, Health, Automotive, Defense, Textile or Pharmacy Parks are sanctioned to Mangaluru. Another such neglected region is Kodagu (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mangaluru/no-special-package-announced-for-kodagu-in-karnataka-budget-congress-jds-810962.html). The ruling party is just using Tulunadu as vote bank. Suppose all MLAs of the party from these districts resign will the government survive? Why do we need these useless MLAs if they can not demand for funds for the region? Digustingly they are busy defending the state budget! Evrything in it! IF they defended policies it was fine. But why not they talk against Yettinahole allocation? Why not they talk against not allocating any of research & innovation institute or industrial cluster for Mangaluru? Who elected these shameless MLAs? If Tulunadu was a separate state the region would have developed faster with the kind of revenue it is generating.

Look at this shameless chameleon MP changing his stand - MP Nalin Kumar Kateel does a U-turn, expresses support for Yettinahole project (https://www.udayavani.com/english-news/mp-nalin-kumar-kateel-does-a-u-turn-expresses-support-for-yettinahole-project). What happened to his Coconut Park? How it went to Tumakur?

Investment to be made over five years, is expected to generate 1,800 jobs

Gurgaon-based ACME Cleantech Solutions has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Karnataka government to invest ₹52,000 crore to establish a hydrogen and ammonia plant, with an associated solar power unit in Mangaluru.

The investment will be made over the next five years and is expected to result in the creation of 1,800 jobs. According to the MoU, the company proposes to invest ₹5,300 crore in the first phase and ₹46,565 crore in the second phase.

The deal was signed by EV Ramana Reddy, Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Industries and Commerce, and Sandeep Kashyap, Chief Operating Officer (COO), ACME Cleantech Solutions, in the presence of Karnataka Chief Minister Basavraj Bommai.

Bommai said, “Karnataka is in the forefront in the renewable energy sector and the state government is formulating a Green Hydrogen Policy.” He requested the ACME group to make use of the new policy.

The MoU states that the Karnataka government would assist ACME in obtaining the necessary permissions, registrations, approvals, clearances, and incentives from the state government in accordance with its policies, rules, and regulations.

Bommai also said the state government would formulate a new Research and Development (R&D) policy within a month. The proposed policy would identify and support research and innovation at the garage level, as well as at major institutions.


Does that mean Mangaluru is going to have three fertilizer plants including MCF, Rs 7500 crore one and Acme?

Don't be surprised even ReNew Power also invest on Green Hydrogen in Mangaluru itself as Chief Minister has already declared hat Coastal Karnataka will be developed as a Green Energy Industrial Hub.

It has also partnered with Norway-based Scatec ASA to build and operate a large-scale green ammonia facility in the Duqm Special Economic Zone of Oman. The first phase of the facility is expected to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually and will be expanded to 1.2 million tonnes per annum with about 3.5 GW of electrolyzer capacity, which will be powered by a 5.5 GWp of solar PV plant, a statement from the government said.

An MOU was signed in my presence with Gurgaon based ACME Cleantech Solutions Pvt Ltd Group for an investment of Rs 52,000 crores to set up a Hydrogen & Ammonia unit & allied Solar Power Plant in Mangaluru. The ease of doing business in Karnataka makes it attractive to investors.


I don't think 5.5 GWp (as Oman & Mangaluru capacities are same) they will generate in Mangaluru itself unless it is sea based solar/wind power plant.

Karnataka Looks At A Hydrogen Cluster In Mangaluru (https://www.saurenergy.com/solar-energy-news/karnataka-looks-at-a-hydrogen-cluster-in-mangaluru)

Karnataka recently signed two major projects about hydrogen production. ACME Cleantech Solutions Private Limited and ReNew Power have each signed to invest ₹52,000 crores and ₹50,000 crore in the state over the last one month, in MoU's signed at Davos.

Sharing the vision of the state government, Gunjan Krishna, commissioner for industrial development and director, department of industries & commerce, said, “What we are looking at getting is the hydrogen cluster in Mangaluru. The idea is that is the new fuel that can be converted into ammonia. (There are) lots of other countries that are also looking at energy security and they do not have a way of producing Hydrogen required. Our focus is on everything (all sectors). Karnataka has huge potential to tap solar energy, which makes it ideal for hydrogen-production units, and green energy would make this more environmentally sustainable.

NEW DELHI: India's top oil explorer ONGC and its partners will invest USD 6.2 billion (Rs 50,000 crore) in green energy projects to produce carbon-free hydrogen and green ammonia as part of an ambitious decarbonization drive, officials said.

State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has signed a pact with Greenko, one of India's largest renewable energy companies, to form a 50:50 joint venture for green energy projects.

The JV will set up 5.5-7 gigawatts (GW) of solar and wind power projects, and use electricity generated from such plants to split water in an electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen, which in turn would be used for manufacturing green ammonia, they said.

The renewable plants together with Greenko's pump storage power generation system will give 1.4 GW of round-the-clock (RTC) electricity that would be used to produce 0.18 million tonne of green hydrogen per annum (about 20 kg per hour).

This hydrogen will be mixed with nitrogen to produce 1 million tonne per annum of green ammonia, which in the initial years will be exported to Europe, Japan and Korea and used within the country when the market develops, they said.

Officials said the renewable energy component of the chain would cost about USD 5 billion while the hydrogen and ammonia plant will cost USD 1.2 billion.

ONGC is looking to set up the hydrogen and ammonia plants, which are likely to start production in 2026, on the west coast, preferably near Mangalore, where it has an oil refinery.

In case the land is not available, the project may shift to Gujarat, they said.

While hydrogen is the cleanest known fuel with zero carbon emission, it is difficult to transport and a vast majority of its production globally is used in-situ (onsite).

And for these reasons, ONGC is looking at manufacturing green ammonia from hydrogen.

...

Green ammonia can also be used as a marine fuel.


So, this could be fourth Green Hydrogen Plant - ReNew Power, ACME Cleantech Solutions, Petronas Hydrogen, ONGC Greenko.

Ganjimath Export Promotion Park (EPIP) land has been allotted to 45 enterprises at present. About 16 enterprises are functioning in it. Some are under construction and will start in a few months. Most of the active industries are export related industries. Mainly there are industries related to chips, cashew nuts, plastic, medicine, sheets, bags. About 4 thousand employees are working in the total industrial area.

Plastic Park Expected Ganji Math

The Central Chemicals and Fertilizers Department has given the green signal to the “Plastic Park” project which is a part of the Make in India project to be implemented in Ganji Math environment. 1 thousand crores in about 104 acres of land. The project is being realized at cost. In addition to plastic manufacturing, there is an intention to give more emphasis to plastic recycling technology.


It is strange that government has done everything in Canara Industrial Area but nothing in Ganijimatt EPIP which is closer to the port. But I think once Plastic Park materializes, road to NMPT will get widened as a part of that project.

Reddy further elaborated that the total investment size (in green hydrogen) is expected to be around Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The investors have sought proximity to the Mangaluru port because they will convert green hydrogen to green ammonia and export it.

“The land requirement for setting up a green hydrogen plant is around 100 to 300 acres. Their main requirement is that they should have a regular supply of solar and wind energy for which they will set up renewable energy units across the state. The green energy will be transmitted to the hydrogen plants at Mangaluru through the transmission lines of Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Ltd or/and Power Grid Corporation of India Limited,” he said.

India’s first green hydrogen cluster in Mangalore

Of the total investment made at the event of Rs 9.81 lakh crore, nearly one-third was earmarked for green hydrogen, with nine green hydrogen production proposals worth Rs 2.86 lakh crore received. The state government is setting up India’s first green hydrogen cluster in Mangalore to increase the state’s share in the country’s total green hydrogen exports.

Reasons for choosing Mangalore

As for why Mangalore is considered for green hydrogen projects, firstly the availability of water and the presence of a port in Mangalore makes it a preferred location for these plants, explains Doddabasavaraju, Managing Director of Karnataka Udyog Mitra. Also about 220 acres of land and infrastructure are available in Mangalore under Special Economic Zone (MSEZ). Thus, Doddabasavaraju says that Mangalore is being chosen due to these factors.

Mainly meeting the land requirement for a cluster is a challenge, but individual plant proposals are in the range of 200-300 acres each. Thus, Doddabasavaraju says that new projects are currently looking at the need for at least 80-100 acres to set up a plant and start operations.

Why Mangalore is emerging as hotspot for green hydrogen projects (https://www.indiatoday.in/india-today-insight/story/why-mangalore-is-emerging-as-hotspot-for-green-hydrogen-projects-2297128-2022-11-14)

Many of the proposals received by Karnataka pertain to setting up electrolyser plants in the Mangalore region and storing the hydrogen produced in the form of ammonia. This is because storing hydrogen, which is the lightest element, as liquid or gas requires high pressure and extremely low temperatures. Liquid ammonia can be stored at -33°C.

“All these projects that have come are looking at exporting hydrogen,” said Gunjan Krishna, Karnataka’s commissioner for industrial development, at a recent press conference. Water availability and the presence of a port in Mangalore makes it a preferred location for these plants, explains Doddabasavaraju, managing director of Karnataka Udyog Mitra, the single-window agency for industrial project approvals. Besides, the added attraction is that about 220 acres of land and infrastructure is available under the Mangalore Special Economic Zone (MSEZ).

Meeting the land requirement for a cluster, however, will be a challenge given that the individual plant proposals are in the range of 200-300 acres each. Hence, the new projects are currently looking at the minimum requirement of 80-100 acres to establish a plant and start operations, says Doddabasavaraju.


Coastal Karnataka to get massive investment in renewable energy sector: CM Bommai (https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mangaluru/coastal-karnataka-to-get-massive-investment-in-renewable-energy-sector-cm-bommai-1163919.html)
‘Rs 2 lac crore investments received for renewable energy’, says CM in Mangaluru (https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay?newsID=1021317)

He said, “During the Global Investors Meet in Bengaluru, Rs 2 lac crore investments were received for renewable energy, hydrogen fuel and production of ammonia from sea water. The preparation has been done for the infrastructure and land required for the project is ready. The clearance has been given to 3 renewable energy companies during the state high level committee meeting and 2-3 companies have already decided to take up work during March-April. The project of hydrogen fuel and production of ammonium from sea water will come up in international level.


Two environmental impacts to e observed
1. Increase in sea water salinity level
2. Power transmission lines through western ghats to supply power

If this CM has real muscle he should visit Mangaluru for reasons like inaugurating IT Park instead of Park.

NIT-K faculty member gets patent for producing cement mortar brick having self-healing property upon cracking (https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/nit-k-faculty-member-gets-patent-for-producing-cement-mortar-brick-having-self-healing-property-upon-cracking/article65560531.ece)

According to Mr. Palanisamy, microbialcreat composite is a new-age material with the property of self-healing upon cracking. This action is by the precipitation of lime (calcium carbonate) by the non-pathogenic bacteria used in the composite, upon coming into contact with air and water through the crack. The precipitated lime will cover the crack, thereby improving the stability of the surface.

The non-pathogenic bacteria of genus Enterobacter, Enterococcus and Serratia, and its growth solution are part of this invented composite along with sand and cement. This invention is not limited to this specific system but using the same technique, development of biocement and bioconcrete are feasible, towards which a research group under the faculty is working on.
