Looks like wikipedia is too kind towards Mangaluru (Dakshina Kannada) & Udupi - List of riots in India. Read also 2020 Bangalore riots, 1991 anti-Tamil violence in Karnataka. I had visited the monstrous city during 1991 linguistic cum water riots. The train was forcefully stopped at Yeshwanthpur itself. Tamilians were running & I also ran with them after getting down from the train with my bag. Walked through Malleshwaram as there was no bus or autorickshaw. Finally some two wheeler picked me up at Seshadripuram & dropped in a hotel. IT had just started during that time. And google "1991 information technology in bengaluru" (Bengaluru's IT history) says,

In 1991, Bengaluru (then Bangalore) was fundamentally transformed into the hub of India’s IT revolution, largely driven by the liberalisation of the Indian economy and the establishment of key infrastructure designed to boost software exports.

What a joke!

Walkie Talkie : Rising Mangaluru - Insights on Homes and Opportunities with Gurudatt Shenoy

How are they ensuring only or maximum IT professionals stay at Rudraksh? I think it is better to have rented or service apartments & hostel or paying guest accomodations near workspaces to accomodate software engineers from other parts of Silicon Beach or other parts of the country in Mangaluru.

From my PoV, Mohtisham Manhattan with terrace garden has best environment for living. Still I wish people walk barefoot on lawns on yards (front, side & back yards). Body-ground connection is important. google "walking barefoot on yards is healthy or not" (Unleash The Benefits Of Walking Barefoot On Grass, Why Walking Barefoot on Grass is a Natural Boost for Your Health) says,

Walking barefoot on your own yard (grass or soil) is generally healthy, acting as a form of "earthing" that can improve balance, reduce stress, enhance sleep, and strengthen foot muscles. It acts as a natural massage and supports better posture, although it should be done in moderation, starting with 5–10 minutes

Made in Mangaluru: Hydgen dispatches eight industrial Hydrogen systems in landmark milestone

Dr Manipaddy Krishna Kumar, in his introductory remarks, stated that the modular industrial hydrogen generation skids manufactured locally in Mangaluru represent a first-of-its-kind technology platform in India.

The dispatch represents a defining transition: from advanced technology development to real-world industrial application. Each skid is a fully integrated, on-site hydrogen generation system engineered and assembled in Mangaluru using Hydgen's proprietary PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyser technology, developed at a level of engineering maturity that remains rare among Indian deep tech companies in the hydrogen space.

Why Mangaluru Could Become India’s Next Offshore Wind Energy Hub
DK MP Capt Brijesh Chowta urges centre to develop Mangaluru coast as offshore wind energy hub

MP Brijesh Chowta seeks offshore wind energy zone off Mangaluru coast
Develop M’luru as offshore wind energy zone: MP

And there is proposal for GW data hub.

Probably companies are hesitating as it is zone-2 having wind speed of 140 km/h or 87 mph. Gujarat, already producing offsore wind enery, falls in Zone-4 having wind speed of 169.2 km/h or 105 mph.

Is MIR Group ready to collaborate with Sulzon Energy for designing & manufacturing Windmill-Integrated Photovoltaics so that the same platform can produce both solar & wind energy? Or else MIR Group could come up with its own facility. Also there is scope for offshore maintenance robots for tasks like repair, cleaning (for cleaning salt-deposition even if dust-free/anti-soiling photovoltaic technologies are employed), painting etc.

Otherwise also it is better to integrate offshore wind and floating photovoltaic (FPV) technologies:

6,490 square kilometres of sea is covered by windmills & floating solar panels means how much reduction in raise of the sea level? We should consider in between gaps while calculating. And gaps are neccessary for survival of marine life as they provide way for oxygen & light circulation. But is there a possibility of somebody coming up with a theory of reduced rain due to decreased evaporation?

I think, as there is enough space offshore, 60% increase in space requirement compared to Lithium-ion batteries does not matter in comparison to other advantages of Sodium-ion batteries. Of course, increase in platform size costs extra.

Mangaluru’s AI, ESDM push hinges on stronger power backbone

As the coastal city of Mangaluru emerges as a key pillar in Karnataka’s ambition to transition from India’s IT capital to a global hub for artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centres and electronics system design and manufacturing, a critical infrastructure gap is coming into sharp focus. Experts warn that the success of this transformation will depend heavily on the strength and resilience of high-voltage transmission networks powering this new digital economy.

The shift towards AI and ESDM marks a fundamental change in electricity demand. Unlike conventional IT parks, AI clusters and semiconductor facilities are energy-intensive operations that run round the clock and operate with near-zero tolerance for power fluctuations. For a state targeting large-scale investments in data centres and chip manufacturing, transmission reliability is no longer just a utility concern. It is emerging as a core economic risk.

Data centres require uninterrupted and high-quality power supply with minimal transmission losses. These facilities operate massive server loads and cooling systems continuously. Even a brief voltage fluctuation can disrupt operations and lead to significant financial losses. In AI workloads, even a momentary disruption can impact long-running processes.

Karnataka’s challenge is two-fold. First is the scale of future demand. Second is the geographical imbalance between generation and consumption. A large share of the state’s renewable energy capacity is concentrated in northern districts, while emerging demand hubs such as Bengaluru, Mysuru and the coastal belt including Mangaluru are located in the south.

The message from experts is clear. For Karnataka to sustain its leadership in technology and emerge as a preferred destination for AI and ESDM investments, the grid must be ready ahead of demand. In the race to build the digital economy, it is the invisible network of transmission lines that will determine how far and how fast the state can go.

For the time being, Mangaluru planning to get power directly from UPCL which has sufficient capacity. Of course they will be grid-integrated data centers (see the quote below) to ensure uninterrupted power supply. There is also a plan to have offsore wind/solar farms. I think, but not sure, UPCL power grid link via westernghat (400 kV high-tension transmission line) is under utilized as Karnataka has stopped purchasing power from UPCL hence it is available to transmission in the opposite direction. Also Mangaluru Data Centre Feasibility Study 2025 released by the Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM) and the Silicon Beach Program (SBP) in collaboration with Deloitte India points to high grid reliability and assured industrial water availability as key enablers for large-scale data centre operations, creating a stable foundation for future-ready digital infrastructure 1 2.

He said Mangaluru is a major industrial hub of the State and uninterrupted power supply is essential. “This substation will provide permanent relief from the voltage fluctuation and low voltage problem faced during the rainy season. Also, if there is a technical fault in any station, it will be easy to take the load alternately through this substation and reconnect the power immediately. This will provide quality power to the major coastal districts,” Mr. Manohar said.

Meanwhile, a statement from Mr. George said: “Our government’s top priority is to ensure continuous power supply for the industrial growth of the coastal region and to people. There was a delay in laying the 400 KV line owing to some legal complications. The department took special care to remove the obstacles in this project.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಐಟಿ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಮತ್ತೆ ಟೆಂಡರ್: ಮೂಲ ಸೌಕರ್ಯಗಳೇ ಐಟಿಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡಿ, ತಜ್ಞರ ಸಲಹೆಗಳೇನು?

ಮೊದಲ ಸುತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅರ್ಜಿಯೇ ಇಲ್ಲ:
ಮೊದಲ ಬಿಡ್ಡಿಂಗ್ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ 2025ರ ಡಿ.15ರಂದು ಆರಂಭವಾಗಿ ಒಂದು ತಿಂಗಳ ಬಳಿಕ ಮುಕ್ತಾಯಗೊಂಡರೂ, ಒಂದೇ ಒಂದು ಅರ್ಜಿಯೂ ಸಲ್ಲಿಕೆಯಾಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಈಗ ಮೇ 22ರಂದು ಮುಕ್ತಾಯಗೊಳ್ಳಲಿರುವ ಎರಡನೇ ಸುತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಡ ಕೇವಲ ಒಬ್ಬ ಬಿಡ್ದಾರ ಮಾತ್ರ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ತೋರಿರುವುದಾಗಿ ಮೂಲಗಳು ತಿಳಿಸಿವೆ.

ಯಾಕೆ ಬಿಡ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರಾಸಕ್ತಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಳ:
ಐಟಿ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದ ತಜ್ಞರು ಹಾಗೂ ಉದ್ಯಮ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಗಳು ಯೋಜನೆಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದನೆ ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾಗಲು ಹಲವು ಕಾರಣಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ಇಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಸಮರ್ಪಕ ರಸ್ತೆ ಸಂಪರ್ಕದ ಕೊರತೆ ಅಡ್ಡಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಸುದೀರ್ಘ ಅವಧಿಗೆ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗುವ ಷರತ್ತು ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ ಸರಿಯಾದ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ರಸ್ತೆ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿಲ್ಲ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಬಹಳ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದರ ಜತೆಗೆ ಕಠಿಣ ಟೆಂಡರ್ ಷರತ್ತುಗಳು ಬಿಡ್ಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡಿಪಡಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಕೆಲವು ಷರತ್ತುಗಳನ್ನು ಸಡಿಲಿಸಿದರೂ ಇನ್ನೂ ಅಡಚಣೆಗಳಿವೆ. ಆಕರ್ಷಕವಲ್ಲದ ಹಣಕಾಸು ನಿಯಮಗಳು ಕೂಡ ಕಾರಣವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಭೂಮಿ ಸರಕಾರಿ ಸ್ವತ್ತು ಆಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಬಾಡಿಗೆ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು ಆದರೆ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಭಿನ್ನದರವನ್ನು ಉಲ್ಲೇಖಿಸುವ ಕೆಲಸವಾಗಿದೆ.

Despite the land being available for nearly two decades, stakeholders have noted that even basic road access has not been established. Sources have indicated that several conditions outlined in the tender have made the project challenging to bid for. Although local industry representatives have succeeded in persuading the government to relax some clauses, many restrictive requirements persist.

A realtor engaged in IT workspace development has stated that weak basic infrastructure has undermined investor confidence. He remarked that while Mangaluru is home to one of the earliest Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) facilities, the city’s IT ecosystem has not kept pace with Bengaluru. What Mangaluru requires, he emphasized, is reliable road connectivity rather than extensive expansion.

Vinod Pinto, the president of CREDAI Mangaluru, expressed that the organization has raised concerns regarding elevated rental prices, highlighting that bidders anticipate more favorable lease conditions due to the land being owned by the government. He emphasized that Mangaluru ought to be regarded as a tier-2 city in terms of pricing and policy, rather than being compared to Bengaluru or larger metropolitan areas. According to the tender, the chosen bidder will receive the land on a 30-year lease under the Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer model, with the possibility of extending it for an additional 30 years.

For other cities, the state government spent its own money on IT Parks but for Mangaluru it is just drama of PPP!

I have already said it!

Sorry. KDM didn't have much role in developing Mangaluru IT cluster. Karnataka government or KDM has so far hasn't shown any interest to establish Centres of Excellence for FinTech, AVGC or Health. After seeing that more IT startups are interested in opening up their offices in Mangaluru due to intitiations of locals, Karnataka government is just planning to exploit the business opportunity by building an IT Park here on priority.

The identified domains for Mangaluru cluster are FinTech (Fianancial Tchnology), AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) & Health (why don't they call this HealthTech). Mangaluru should also have ESDM focused mainly on Medical Devices (HealthTech). Tulunadu Semiconductor/ESDM Hub should focus on manufacturing chips & other electronic parts needed by medical devices. It may also cater to semiconductor needs of other sectors like Maritime or Marine or Blue Economics, FinTech, AVGC, AgriTech, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Electronics etc.

Silicon Beach has 19 MLAs. Undivided DK itself has 13 MLAs. Forget Silicon Beach, Mangaluru itself has 3 MLAs (Mangaluru, Mangaluru South, Mangaluru North). These three assembly constituencies are main beneficiaries of having IT Park here, every strata of society is benefited as it generates both direct & indirect jobs (11,000 jobs in total). What is surprising is all these MLAs are keeping quiet & none of them are rising voice against step-motherly treatment of the region. Hope people will throw all three of them in a dustbin in the next election. Anyway, I had predicted in the begining itself that the government mooted IT Park here to do business rather than charity.

I would like to add ESDM hub including semiconductor chip manufacturing.

As per Proposed states and union territories of India Uttara Kannada goes to Konkan state based on linguistic choices. If we forget language then I would like to add Chikkamagaluru & Kodagu so that we can target to be a trillion dollar economy by 2047. The reason for such high growth is that government income of the region will be invested within the region itself for creating better infrastructure. Chikkamagaluru & Kodagu may prefer to join us as they, like us, are ill-treated by the current state government. We can have one CM & two DCM posts for all three regions (in case no CM from a region) & can also allow all three regions ((Tulunadu (Udupi, DK & Kasarod), Chikkamagaluru & Kodagu) to have their own independent budget. May be fourth one if Uttara Kannada is included. Sakalespura & Theerthahalli may also like to join us (if they are upgraded as independent districts?). The state can have multiple official languages including Tulu, Kannada & Kodava. What is needed is political will from the MLAs & the MPs of the region.

Rohan Corporation donates medical mquipment to Wenlock District Hospital at “Evening of Gratitude 2026”

Mr. Dion Monteiro, Director of Rohan Corporation, took the opportunity to invite IT companies, GCCs, and global headquarters to explore Mangaluru as their next growth destination. “Mangaluru has the talent, the lifestyle, and the connectivity to become one of India’s most important emerging cities,” he said.

How did he invite IT companies, GCCs, and global headquarters? Were their representatives present at “Evening of Gratitude 2026”? Or is Rohan Corporation planning to host an investment summit in near future in Mangaluru or any Indian metropolitan city or abroad? My advice to Silicon Beach builders is to host a combined summit in any metropolitan city (preferably the nearby monstrous city) to convince them about infrastructure & talent available here.

Karnataka’s marine fishing sector sees partial recovery in 2025-26, but concerns persist

MLA seeks KIOCL-NMDC merger for company revival

The operations of KIOCL have been severely affected due to the State Government not granting mining permission to the Kudremukh iron ore project. During the recent Assembly session, I had raised the issue of Kudremukh mining, but the State Government has not responded positively so far. In this regard, we urged the Central Government to exert pressure on the State Government to grant mining approval at the earliest.

~bharathshetty_y

I think the MLA is talking about alternate mines identified by KIOCL- Devadari (Ballari), Holalkere (Chitradurga), Hombalagatta & Hosahalli (Tumakuru), Ramanadurg (Bellary-Hospet). Even his own party was reluctant to grant permission when it was in power. All parties were allowing private mafia to loot mines discouraing government entities. The current government has a lame excuse to grant permission- The Karnataka Forest Department demands KIOCL pay approximately Rs. 1,349 to Rs. 1,400 crore in fines, penalties (including Net Present Value, compensatory afforestation, and past forest destruction charges), and hand over \(3,297\) acres of leased land in the Kudremukh National Park. The government can always grant permission to mine from alternate mines where environmental impact is minimum & recover penalties later when the company starts earning profit.

DK produces around 25,000 graduates per year. Hence we have 20,000 for IT jobs & remaining 5,000 are for non-IT jobs. In this way we can meet Tie Mangaluru's 2 lakh IT jobs target for Mangaluru by 2033.

If our target is entire Kannur-Kasarod-DK-Udupi-UK coastal belt & Malenadu then we may require 30,000-40,000 seats/year per all builders for next ten years hence can achieve Tie mangaluru's target easily.

So, currently we are running short of 20,000 seats per year for achieving our year 2033 target. Buck up builders to grow exponentially!

Initially I was thinking SIRI is some great self-employment creation institute. Interestingly SIRI's Rusk is available in Mangaluru Oragnic Food Markets (Siridhanya= = Shridhanya = positive millets). The problem is they are mixing up all millets hence we can't follow Dr. Khadar's advice of taking only one millet per day 1, 2. But a Puttur based company is producing single millet cookies. I am waiting for Siridhanya bread, rotti (kori-rotti flakes) manufacturers. Of course a few items like millet vermicelli/semige, flakes/avalakki & a few other snacks are also available in Mangaluru but from non-local manufacturers; anyway siridhanya itself is not produced here. Wonder why Nandini is not focusing on Siridhanya products instead of rice & wheat 2 products. By the way a few of my relatives & friends have experimented with siridhanya kapparotti, sarnadde, appipayasa, pundi etc in their homes.

Private sector push drives Mangaluru’s IT rise

KDEM’s Mangaluru Data Centre Feasibility Study 2025 identified Mangaluru as one of India’s most cost-efficient and scalable destinations for data centre development. The region offers land leasing at Rs 7.69 per sq ft per month, providing a 4–5x cost advantage over Mumbai and up to 95% savings compared to Chennai. Energy tariffs of Rs 5.95–Rs 6.6/kWh are also lower than Chennai’s Rs 7.50, giving the region a clear cost edge over most major markets, the report noted.

SBP’s 10-year vision aims to promote start-ups, attract satellite companies and create up to two lakh jobs within a few years, said Rohith. The government has also announced an IT park (1.5 lakh sq ft plinth area) at Derebail, a Centre of Excellence in fintech, and a data lab, with KDEM set to conduct a feasibility study.

What about Karnataka govt picks KPT Mangaluru for Rs 75 crore Centre of Excellence, KPT to host Centre of Excellence in Logistics and Supply Chain? Is there any progress?

Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts have gained national recognition in the hospitality and food industry sectors. In this backdrop, 12 companies had earlier announced investments of Rs 822.55 crore for the construction of hotels and resorts. In Udupi district, plans have been made to invest Rs 275 crore in the development of hotels, resorts, and water adventure tourism.

Among the approved projects, Dakshina Kannada accounts for six projects involving an investment of Rs 273.57 crore and generating 750 jobs, while Udupi has two projects with an investment of Rs 71.1 crore expected to create 280 jobs.

The state government has assured full support to investors in the tourism sector, and several stakeholders have signed Letters of Intent to invest during Tourism Conclave 2026. The government has formulated a tourism policy with special focus on developing coastal districts. Despite having a coastline of around 320 km, the region has not been fully utilized for tourism, and there is growing interest in developing it to global standards.

By the way, there was an excellent comment on red roofs wishing Mangaluru to be called Red City of South India like Bikaner of Rajasthan, North India. Mangaluru = Mangala + Ooru, where Mangala also means red colour (Mangala/Mars (Red planet) & Goddess Mangala, being Warrior God/Goddess, are associated with red colour) hence the name is appropriate.

There are a few more interesting videos:

Demand for new greenfield airport intensifies on coast

Demand for a new greenfield airport in coastal Karnataka intensified, with Belthangady (Dharmasthala, 100 acres) and Padubidri-Yermal emerging as key proposed sites, even as questions persisted over whether Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) fully utilised its existing capacity.

MIA's long-term projections also featured in the debate. The airport aimed to handle 6 million passengers per annum by 2035, and up to 18 million by 2070, targets that would require sustained route growth and infrastructure upgrades.

Experts call for clarity on Mangaluru Airport’s future plans amid demand for another airport

Why not Udupi-Chikmagalur MP meet Adani & persuade him to invest in Padubidri-Yermal Data cum Semiconductor Park at the earliest so that MIA traffic grows in a faster rate leading to a natural necessity of having another airport?

Re-engineering the Edge: How Infrastructure Is Redefining Safety at Mangaluru Airport

Re-engineering the Edge: How Infrastructure Is Redefining Safety at Mangaluru Airport

• The overhaul at Mangaluru reflects a broader shift toward strengthening safety margins at tabletop airports through infrastructure upgrades rather than relying only on post-incident oversight.
• Upgrades include full runway recarpeting to improve wet-surface braking and broader infrastructure enhancements, including a Category-1 precision approach lighting system to enhance visual guidance during final approach.
• Land acquisition to complete the full runway safety area remains pending, limiting the airport’s ability to achieve the recommended safety buffer.

The surface has been fully recarpeted using a flexible asphalt overlay atop rigid pavement—a rare engineering solution designed to improve braking friction during monsoon rain. Centreline lighting has been installed to sharpen pilot alignment cues in poor visibility.

A Category-1 Precision Approach Lighting system is now rising from the valley below Runway 24, mounted on lattice towers nearly 70 metres high. According to Amber Dubey, CEO (Aero) at Adani Airports and former Joint Secretary in the civil aviation ministry, the system will provide pilots with clearer visual references during final approach and, once operational, will make India only the second Asian country, after China, to deploy such lighting at a hilltop airport. Similar enhancements are planned for the reciprocal runway direction.

Safety buffers are expanding alongside these navigation aids. Runway End Safety Areas measuring 240 m × 90 m have been completed on one side and are progressing on the other, while reinforced retaining walls are stabilising slopes to prevent erosion beneath runway edges—engineering that is largely invisible to passengers but critical to structural resilience.

A ₹98-crore parallel taxiway will double aircraft movement capacity from eight to sixteen per hour. Though framed as an efficiency upgrade, it is equally a safety measure: reducing runway occupancy time lowers congestion, pilot workload, and the risk of runway incursions.

Government/stakeholder push: State-led initiatives are often the catalyst for regional-international routes.

22-km coastal road proposed to tackle erosion and traffic woes

The proposed stretch aims to offer a long-term solution to the annual loss of beachfront land during the monsoon. By integrating the road’s foundation with anti-erosion measures, the government plans to move away from temporary stone barriers that require recurring expenditure. This strategic "two-in-one" design is expected to secure coastal homes and the local ecosystem while adhering strictly to Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) guidelines.

The infrastructure boost is already triggering a shift in the local real estate landscape. Property experts anticipate a steady surge in land value along the coastal belt, with increased investor interest in areas like Mukka, Hosabettu, and Ullal. The prospect of sea-view residences combined with world-class connectivity is turning these quiet suburbs into prime hubs for premium flats and gated community plots.

Will provision be there to have metro-rail along this stretch in future?

207ರಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಯಾಗಿರುವ ಮಿಫ್ಸೆ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಫೈರ್ ಆ್ಯಂಡ್ ಸೇಫ್ಟಿ ಕೋರ್ಸ್ ಪರಿಚಯಿಸಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ವಿಟಿಯು ಸಂಯೋಜನೆಗೆ ಒಳಪಟ್ಟ ನಂತರ 2026ರ ಬ್ಯಾಚ್ಗೆ ಫೈರ್ ಆ್ಯಂಡ್ ಸೇಫ್ಟಿ ಎಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್, ಲಾಜಿಸ್ಟಿಕ್ಸ್ ಆ್ಯಂಡ್ ಸಪ್ಲೈ ಚೈನ್ ಮ್ಯಾನೇಜ್ಮೆಂಟ್, ಕೃತಕ ಬುದ್ಧಿಮತ್ತೆ ಕೋರ್ಸ್ಗಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದರು.

So, MIFSE will now be a specialized engineering college like Saint Aloysius School of Engineering without normal engineering courses like civil, mechanical, chemical engineerings.

I wonder whether MIFSE others courses are linked to fire safety. In Logistics Supply Chain, are they focusing on Fire safety & offering specialized academical subjects linked to mitigating high-risk warehouse hazards, protecting goods, and ensuring operational continuity? In Artificial Intelligence, is AI application for fire safety 1 2 3 a part of carriculum? Wish they will have a Center of Excellence (CoE) on AI application for fire safety of supply chains.

NITK Surathkal launches AI platform NOMAD

Mangaluru: The National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, launched NOMAD (Node for Open-source Mobile AI Deployment), a fully operational AI research platform designed for deployment in field conditions. NOMAD is built to function in remote, resource-constrained and disaster-affected environments where conventional cloud infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable.

NITK Surathkal launches ‘NOMAD’ AI platform for remote and disaster-prone area

With the growing dependence of artificial intelligence systems on centralised data centres, real-world environments such as coastal regions and disaster zones face major challenges related to connectivity, power supply, and infrastructure. NOMAD aims to bridge this gap by enabling on-site AI computing at the edge, ensuring real-time data processing and decision-making even in critical conditions.

The facility is set up within a repurposed shipping container at the NITK SEARCH research station along the Arabian Sea coast. It functions as a self-sufficient unit with four independent power sources, including grid supply, rooftop solar panels, a towable solar-battery unit, and a diesel generator supported by UPS backup. To ensure uninterrupted connectivity, the system integrates institutional fibre, broadband, and a wireless bridge.

NOMAD features a robust computing system that combines open-source clusters, edge devices, and high-capacity storage. Plans are also under way to integrate institutional high-performance computing (HPC) resources into the platform. The space is designed to support advanced research, teaching, and immersive learning experiences.

ಇದೀಗ ಈ ನೂತನ ರೈಲು ಮಾರ್ಗವು ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ತಲುಪಲಿದೆ ಎನ್ನುವ ಕುತೂಹಲ ಮನೆ ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಈ ಮೊದಲು ಶಿವಮೊಗ್ಗ, ಭದ್ರಾವತಿ, ಚಿಕ್ಕಮಗಳೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ನರಸಿಂಹರಾಜಪುರ, ಶೃಂಗೇರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗವಾಗಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ತಲುಪುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಚಿಂತನೆ ನಡೆದಿತ್ತು ಎಂದು ಸೋಷಿಯಲ್ ಮೀಡಿಯಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಶುರುವಾಗಿದೆ.

At this rate, when will Mangaluru-Hassan line be quadrupled? How many Kerala-bound trains will be running on Mangaluru-Sringeri-Shivamogga track? Hope Mangaluru-Shringeri-Shivamogga will be doubleline from the beginning itself.

Mangaluru-Sringeri-Shivamogga railway track length of 332-km is too much compared to Mangaluru-Hassan railway track length of 189 km. Mangaluru-Shivamogga distance is 200 km & Mangaluru-Hassan distance is 164 km. They have increased track length from 228 km to 334 km just to provide connectivity to Theerthahalli (3:24-3:36 Shivamogga–Sringeri–Mangaluru New Railway Line: Karnataka’s Game-Changer! ಶಿವಮೊಗ್ಗ ಶೃಂಗೇರಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರು). Shivamogga MP may be interested in covering as many locations in his constituency as possible but DK, Udupi, Davanagere, Haveri, Chitradura MPs should demand for reduced distance. Our focus should be reducing distance to Kittur/Kalyana Karnataka, Telangana & Andhrapradesh. From environmental point of view also more distance means more greenery is lost.

Mangaluru-Karkala should be doubleline from the beginning itself so that we can have suburban trains. Hope DK & Udupi MPs join hands with Shivamogga+Byndoor MP for this without yielding to the pressure from the bus lobby. Even opposition party politicians should rise their voice now itself to prove that they are not influenced by the bus lobby.

Finance department approves 300-bed govt hospital in Puttur, says MLA Ashok Kumar Rai

He said a detailed project report (DPR) for the new hospital, as a part of the establishment of a medical college, will be ready within 45 days.

"An estimate of Rs 1,000 crore has been made in the budget for the medical college. We have appealed to the state government to implement the project in Bannur of Puttur. We had also demanded that the work on the hospital building should be taken up through the medical education department and not through the health and family welfare department. When the work is taken up through the medical education department, then the process of establishing a medical college will be easy," Ashok Kumar said.

Rs 35 crore sanctioned for first phase of Wenlock Hospital OPD building

As announced in the state budget, the OPD block is proposed to be constructed at a total cost of Rs 70 crore. Approval has now been accorded for the initial phase, along with permission to invite tenders based on the estimated cost of Rs 35 crore, according to an order issued on January 19 by Prabhakar T, undersecretary to the government, department of health and family welfare.

OPD block building work at Wenlock Hospital to commence shortly: Dinesh Gundu Rao

In the first phase, tenders will be floated shortly for the construction of a new two-storey OPD block at a cost of Rs 35 crore. The building will also be equipped with a solar power unit and CCTV surveillance.

The state budget during 2025-26 had announced the upgrading of Wenlock Hospital, along with taluk hospitals at Malur, Magadi, Kushalnagar, Koratagere, Savadatti, Jagalur, Savanur, Ramdurg at a cost of Rs 650 crore. The administrative approval for the OPD at Wenlock Hospital was given recently. The total built up area of the OPD block will be 8257.22 square metres (with lower ground, ground and two upper floors). It will have four lifts. The proposal also includes borewell, concrete road, drain and demolition of old building.

What about parking space? Hope there will be enough parking space for all types of vehicles including private ambulances & autos who are encroaching busstand & footpath spaces outside the hospital campus. One mindless politician has even put up his banners on autostand which is contructed encroaching footpath.

What does each state get from Budget 2026-27?

Mangaluru was identified as a potential site for one of five proposed Regional Medical Hubs under a PPP model, leveraging its proximity to major pilgrimage centres like Udupi and Dharmasthala.

Union Budget 2026 big push: Five regional medical tourism hubs to put India on global healthcare map

These proposed hubs will function as comprehensive medical ecosystems, combining advanced hospital infrastructure, diagnostic centres, rehabilitation facilities, post-treatment care, and traditional AYUSH systems under one roof. By offering end-to-end healthcare solutions, the government aims to make India more attractive to international patients seeking high-quality treatment at competitive costs.

Budget proposals benefit the coastal region: Captain Brijesh Chowta

Proposals for regional medical hubs with integrated healthcare complexes and AYUSH centres are especially relevant for DK. “We already have a strong healthcare ecosystem, trained manpower, and a culture of service. This Budget gives us the framework to build medical value tourism, integrated care services and a robust care economy.“

Union Budget Misses Opportunity for Coastal Economic Corridor: KCCI

Despite strong maritime development support in the Budget, he noted that there was no announcement on establishing a Central Maritime University or a dedicated maritime higher education institute in Mangaluru, a long-pending demand. Such an institution, he said, would help leverage coastal skills and trade potential by formalising maritime education, boosting specialised training, and strengthening the city’s role in shipping, logistics and ocean economy sectors.

Mr. Mudassar also said the proposal to establish five Regional Medical Hubs through the public-private partnership (PPP) model offered an opportunity for Mangaluru to emerge as a global healthcare destination. Given its proximity to major pilgrimage centres such as Udupi, Dharmasthala, Kukke Subrahmanya, Kateel and Kollur, and its strong private healthcare, medical colleges and AYUSH facilities, improved civic infrastructure and amenities in temple towns would enhance pilgrim experience and encourage repeat travel, he added.

How many potential candidates are there in competition to be regional medical hub? Will All India Institutes of Ayurveda (AIIA) be a part of Regional Medical Hubs? What about AIIMS demanded by Kasargod?

Earlier, under rejected smart city initial proposal, Kunjathabail was proposed to be Wellness City. Will this proposal be revived?

Will Ullal get a new government multispeciality hospital now? - UT Khader gets Health Ministry. A few of expectations from the new health minister are listed below (a few items have to be done in collaboration with other ministries like education, industry etc & the union government).

• Goverment Multispeciality Hospital at Ullal
• Goverment Superspecialty Hospital at Vamanjoor - Jayadeva, Kidwai, and NIMHANS
• ESI Hospital - Upgrade or handover to the union government
• Earlier completion of Puttur Medical Hospital & College
• Declaration of DK-Udupi as Medical Investment Region (MIR) or Medical Special Investment Region (MSIR) - Earlier there were attempts for having declared as Medical and Wellness Tourism Hub 1 but for political favouritism towards other regions by the political heavyweights of the state it couldn't materialize (in fact idea was stolen). Now there is a new hope to be declared as Regional Medical Hub (RMH) 2 by the union government. Medical Investment Region or Medical Special Investment Region (Medical SIR or MSIR) should stress on medical education, research, industry & tourism. Along with hospitals & wellness centers it should have both local & international universities, research institutes & medical equipment manufacturers.

Other than above things he is also welcome to contribute towards IT Park & Marine Biotech Park in collaboration with IT/BT minister with special focus on having healthcare related companies in these parks.

We can expect a lot of actions from the new minister. So SSPians, keep watching posts titled Healthcare.
