Calicut/Kozhikode
:cool: Calicut (Kozhikode) has a low cost of living. The rates of apartments on the South Beach Road is only 2000 / sq.ft while the same kind is 2600 in Cochin. IF you have the money to live happily ever after getting a flat in Calicut is best. It has an International airport, Very near to the City center 1.5 kms to the Railway Station and Bus Station. What else can you want.Presence of posh residential areas like chevayoor,westhill,nadakavu,chevarambalam etc. A few softare companies are looking for places around Kozhikode including HCL technologies.....Real Estate is cheap and having a variety of options with a lot of builders based in calicut and rest of the country..

There is a controversy in Kochi. These are usually decided by dumbos in the govt and there is a raging opposition from almost all quarters in Kochi. The planners who are supposed to plan, but these parasites who eats people's tax money instead puke out some moronic restrictions in the guise of "plans". Hardly have they spelt out a plan for road/transport development. The booming real estate scenario has not seen a launch for past one month due to this uncertainty. Is there a similar problem in Calicut ? Govt will surely have to retreat from its stupid stand. |

kozhikode to be the next IT destination
Kozhikode, Jan 26 (IANS) Six high profile institutions in Kerala have come together to ensure that this north Kerala city becomes the next big IT destination in the state after Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi.
The core group working towards a cyber park in Kozhikode consists of the Malabar Chamber of Commerce (MCC), Indian Institute of Management-Kozhikode (IIM-K), National Institute of Technology (formerly Regional Engineering College-Kozhikode), Kerala Builders Forum, the IT Forum of Kozhikode and the Calicut Management Association. The project has the backing of the state government, said P. Zakeer, MCC president and secretary of the Calicut IT initiative (CITI). "We had a full-fledged discussion with the special IT team of the government led by IT secretary K. Jyothilal. Things are on the right track. The government is fully convinced that Kozhikode has the potential to become Kerala's latest IT destination," Zakeer told IANS. Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, who handles the IT portfolio, last week came out with a draft IT policy and also stressed that the district would be promoted in a big way and infrastructure developed too. Leading IT companies operating from IT hubs Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram and Infopark at Kochi have also expressed their support for the venture. "IBS, US Technology and NeST have all assured us that they would be the first to set up operations as and when Cyber Park becomes a reality," said Zakeer. "We are now looking for a 100 acre plot of land, hopefully near the airport. Since the state industries minister (Elamaram Karim) hails from Kozhikode, we are certain that things will move in the right direction and at a faster pace." Also boosting chances of the project seeing light of day are the large number of NRIs from Kozhikode who would be only too willing to chip in with funds to ensure speedy take off. --Indo-Asian News Service |

Hospitality school a boost to district’s higher education dreams
Monday January 29 2007 11:24 IST KOZHIKODE: The proposed International Hospitality Management Institute will help Kozhikode in its endeavor to emerge as a hub of higher education. The hospitality school will be the latest to join IIM, NIT and School of Mathematics here. State Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan announced in New Delhi last week that the Centre has given the green signal for establishing the institute, first of its kind in Kerala. Tourism Department had submitted to the Union Tourism Ministry, a preliminary project report on the institute. Department sources told this website's newspaper that a rough estimate shows the institute will require an investment of Rs 40 crore. The property owned by the defunct public sector Kerala Soaps and Oils Limited, Kozhikode, is under consideration for housing the institute. Sources said the institute, which will require 5 acre at the initial stage, will be a joint venture with public-private participation. The government plans to rope in leading players in the tourism and hotel industry to ensure better industry-institute interaction, a key factor in any management education. Sources said the institute will conduct high end courses in hospitality management. Presence of an IIM in Kozhikode will be another advantage for the institute. “Though Kozhikode is not a major tourism hub in South India, we are confident of winning support from the industry and external faculty. An active industry participation will make training and placement of students more effective,” sources said. Discussions with leading national and international hospitality players on investment and academic matters will begin only after the detailed project report, to be prepared by a consultant, is ready. The government plans to retain 51 pc stake in the institute, which will be dedicated for running high-end programmes and academic activities, including consultancy. It will have courses in all branches of tourism and hospitality industry. Models of similar institutes in India and abroad will be studied, before shaping the structure of the institute. National Institute of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Hyderabad, is a prominent institute in this sector. |

Kerala plans IT park in Kozhikode
Thiruvananthapuram Feb. 1 The Kerala Government will set up an information technology (IT) park in Kozhikode. State Chief Minister Mr V.S. Achuthanandan had recently announced the government's intention to establish such a facility. The proposed IT park is likely to be developed on the lines of Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram. According to Mr K.R. Jyothilal, Director, Kerala State IT Mission and Special Secretary Department of Information Technology, Government of Kerala discussions have already been held with various industry stakeholders on the proposed technology park in Kozhikode. Several IT companies have expressed interest in starting operations at this facility, he added. A few sites around Kozhikode have been identified and a final decision on the IT park's location is expected in the next few weeks, he added. Meanwhile, the State Government is also considering a proposal to set up a technology park in Palakkad district in response to a demand from several large IT companies. |
bringing IT to palakkad is a good decision....i think it is one of the industrially advanced districts in kerala.

sarovaram project
KOZHIKODE: The long-awaited Sarovaram tourism project (till recently known as Swapna Nagari project) is ready for launch, said Minister for Tourism Kodiyeri Balakrishnan at a programme held here on Saturday to install office-bearers of the Calicut Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI). Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan would lay the stone for the project on February 6, the Minister said. He said the project would be one of the several programmes the LDF Government intended to launch in the coming days to give a boost to development of tourism in North Kerala. He said Swapna Nagari (since renamed Sarovaram) project was delayed as the officials concerned repeatedly raised objections against its implementation. The Minister was speaking at a function to install publisher N.E. Balakrishnan Marar as president and P.T.S. Unni as honorary secretary of CCCI. Programmes aimed at the development of Wayanad as a major tourism destination were also in the pipeline. Wayanad would be developed as a major tourism centre like Idukki, he said. He said home-stay accommodation facilities should be improved in Wayanad where there was a large turnout of foreign tourists. The Government had offered 15 per cent subsidy on investments in the tourism sector with a view to encouraging tourism development in north Kerala. In the rest of Kerala, it was only 10 per cent, he said at a function to install publisher N.E. Balakrishnan Marar as president and P.T.S. Unni as honorary secretary of CCCI. The Minister also stated that the government would try to evolve a consensus to exempt the tourism sector from hartals. Emphasising the LDF Government's commitment to retain the presence of the Government-owned Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC) sector while encouraging private investments in the tourism sector, the Minister said a Kerala House would soon be constructed in Chennai . The Minister also said planners should think big when it came to development. "We are only talking about doubling of rail track. We should be asking for development of four-lane railway tracks," he remarked. The Minister's announcements on tourism development in North Kerala came in response to suggestions for development of the region placed before the Minister in a memorandum by CCCI at the function. Minister for Forests Benoy Viswom; A.Pradeep Kumar and M.K. Premnath, MLAs also spoke at the function. Shortly after taking over as the CCCI president , Mr. Balakrishna Marar said he would try to improve facilities at Kozhikode Medical College and establish new premises for CCCI., besides seeking solutions to people's problems. Among the demands that the CCCI has made in its memorandum to the Minister is for a separate Minister for commerce in the State to take special care of issues of the merchant community. |

Tech27 launches Inspectron in India
KOZHIKODE: Tech27 Systems Ltd, a software solutions provider in Kozhikode, has launched its latest product, Inspectron, in India. Shreyas Koliyot, managing director, Tech 27, told The Hindu that Inspectron was being launched in Indian market after three years of successful implementation in the European energy industry. Inspectron is designed to enable any industry to improve efficiency, productivity and cost-savings. It is a powerful web-enabled inspection and reporting database system built with state-of-the-art technology software languages and programming protocols that can be customised to suit any specific situation or format. The system incorporates the use of hand-held computers to allow paperless and instant reporting directly from the worksite through wireless technology. Aruna Sunderrajan, former Secretary, Information Technology, who is now Country Head for a UN project in Bangalore, lauded Tech27 for launching a product which she said was an event that always marked a milestone on the history of any IT enterprise. "Indian IT industry has not developed many products. It has been doing body-shopping, generally speaking. Tech27 has launched a product. It is indeed a big achievement," Ms Aruna Sunderrajan, who piloted the State's Akshaya project and similar IT initiatives in Kerala as IT secretary to the Government, said at the launch function held at Taj Residency in Kozhikode. Mr. Koliyot, a computer engineer from Aberdeen University in Scotland, said he got little support from his colleagues in the IT firm in UK where he was employed when he announced a proposal to set up business in Kozhikode. But he had gone ahead with his plans since he was determined to prove that Kerala is the right place for IT industry. "Kerala produces sufficient trained manpower. It is the right place for an IT unit," says Mr. Koliyot. A native of Kozhikode, Mr. Koliyot was doing only what senior members of his family had done in the past. Koliyot group, as his family business is known locally, had made its debut, setting up a grocery store on December 14, 1914 near YMCA on Kannur Road.

Corporation to seek Central aid
Staff Reporter Project reports on roads presented KOZHIKODE: Mayor M. Bhaskaran has said that the City Corporation will take steps to get funds from the Union Government to improve city roads. The Mayor was addressing a meeting where the Kozhikode City Roads Improvement Project prepared by the Public Works Department and another project prepared by the Centre for Integrated Rural and Urban Studies (CIRUS) were presented on Friday. Sabu K. Philip, consultant, Kozhikode City Roads Improvement Project, presenting the project said that 13 roads and two flyovers were proposed under phase I and II of this project at a total cost of Rs.400 crore. Consultancy study for the projects was carried out by a New Delhi firm. The third phase would cover work on seven roads. The entire project would be submitted for funding under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). The three roads under Phase I are the coastal road from West Hill Link (Butt Road) to Meenchanda, mini bypass from Meenchanda to West Hill, and the road from Mananchira to Vellimadukunnu. The flyovers are at Arayidathupalam and Eranhipalam. The CIRUS report said that if the Corporation prepared a project for roads in the city, it could be submitted for Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns, which had a corpus fund of Rs.5000 crore. The project report of the CIRUS, which did a study on widening of Palayam-Franscis Road as directed by the Calicut Development Authority, said the existing 12-metre road would be widened to 24 metres. The issue of 180 tenants and 85 owners of buildings and shops on both sides of the road have to be tackled. |

Calicut & Kochi to host retail shows
Kochi, Sept 25: The Hyderabad-based business media firm, VIN Media, is organizing tradeshows and business sessions on technology adoption in Kochi and Calicut in November. Being organised with an objective to showcase and educate small and medium retailers the advantages of technology adoption in streamlining retail business processes, cut costs and give better customer experience, the Retail Tech Shows are scheduled on November 15 and 16 in Calicut and November 24 and 25 in Kochi. According to VIN Media, Not only that conventional retailing is declining, the small and medium retailers in Kerala, like their counterparts in other parts of the country, are also being challenged by large organised retailers setting up stores in all major cities and towns in the state. One of the proven survival strategies for small and medium retailers in this fiercely competitive retail business is adopting and using Information Technology to run their stores. While big retailers in India have a strong IT backbone, Small and medium retailers are also realizing the importance IT and it advantages, feels Vinod Menon of VIN Media. IT is about enabling the retailer to serve his customers better and for customers, it's about getting faster, quality services and getting the fun out of shopping. One of the favourable factors in adopting retail technology is availability of cost effective retail technology solutions developed by small technology companies in India. These companies have developed tailor retail solutions for the small and medium retailers. The commonly used retail technologies by retailer are point of sales machines & solutions, barcode solutions and retail software and related technologies. For small and medium retailers to successfully adopt IT, it is essential that they investigate and understand IT and explore the right technology |
Natpac suggests steps for road development By Our Staff Reporter
THE HINDU KOZHIKODE, APRIL 11. A report on Road Development and Traffic Operation plan for Kozhikode city, prepared by the National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (Natpac) in September 2004 and submitted to the City Corporation, has stressed that transportation and urban environment are linked with each other. The study says that demand for transportation in Kozhikode has increased with urbanisation and increase in the number of motor vehicles plying on the roads. It also leads to traffic congestion on the roads, said N. Vijayakumar, Natpac team leader. The resources for development at the disposal of the Corporation and other agencies are limited. So, in order to improve transportation facilities, compatibility should be maintained between the demand and supply of transport facilities within the town and environs. Some of the improvement proposals include the shifting of existing bus stops to a minimum of 50 to 75 metres from the junction for smooth flow of traffic. The bus stops, which could be shifted are those at East Nadakkave on NH 212, MCC Bank on Kallayi Road, Pushpa Junction on Madhavan Nair Road, Chalappuram near the post office and Meenchanda on Bypass Road. Setting up railing barriers and zebra crossings at Eranhipalam, East Nadakkave, MCC Bank, Pushpa junctions, guardrails at areas such as Malabar Christian College, Idiyankara HSS on Francis Road, West Nadakkave Government Girls High School are the other suggestions mentioned in the report. Encroachments by roadside vendors at Palayam bus stand, English Church, I.G. Road, Bank Road-Mananchira footpath and Kallayi-Vattakinar Road should be avoided. The report stresses that the existing transportation facilities be utilised in an optimal manner. A similar NATPAC study, `Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Planning exercise,' was conducted in for Kozhikode in 1980-81. The objective is to formulate short-term measures for traffic improvement and long-term road development plan. The average journey speed with delay on National Highway 17, Indira Gandhi Road, Beach Road and Ram Mohan Road was found to be above 35 km an hour. It was between 30/34 km on the National Highway 212, Karaparamba-Kakkodi Road and Court Road. On the arterial roads such as M.M. Ali Road, Pavamani Road, Malabar Christian College Road, YMCA Cross Road, Rajaji Road and Cherooty Road the journey speed during the peak hour was less than 20 km an hour. Traffic volume The analysis of traffic volume showed that of the 91,726 vehicles, more than 36 per cent were two-wheelers followed by cars and jeeps (22.4 per cent). Goods vehicles including goods autos comprised 16 per cent |
