Forest Dept Imposes Fine on Cila Advertisers for Pruning Branches blocking their Ad Hoarding

Mangaluru: One one hand Environmentalists and ministers plant trees to give greenery to the City, either during Vanamahotsava or World Environmental Day or could be any other day- but on the other hand, there are these advertisement companies that go ahead and prune or cut tree branches to make their advertising hoardings visible. Along with these people, there are workers of Mescom who also trim trees- for safety matter, when compared to the ad agency guys who go on a rampage pruning trees, for their benefit of their company and their advertisers. Bah humbug!

Why not remove those advertisements permenantly? Can this be made an election issue now? Why do MCC need income from such advertisements?

Western Ghats carbon footprint caused floods in Karnataka and Kerala in last two years: Study

Administration mulls dredging Shambur backwaters for sand

With the construction industry showing a good response to sand extracted from dredging Thumbe Vented Dam backwaters, particularly during the monsoon, the district administration is mulling dredging the backwaters of Shambur dam, located upstream Thumbe, across Netravati.

The Hindu visited the Thumbe sand stock yard managed by the Mines and Geology Department on Saturday, loads of sand could be seen stocked there. A supervisor said an average of 40 loads of sand was extracted every day through dredging while abundant sand was still available in the backwaters. “You can see sand dunes when the waters recedes during the summer,” he said.

Sand extractors in CRZ anxious about environment clearance lapsing

Tenders are yet to be finalised to conduct the bathymetry survey to estimate the quantum of sand available as mandated by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), said Mayur Ullal, former president of Sand Transporters’ Association. The bathymetry survey that takes about a month to assess available sand in rivers under CRZ, has to be ratified by experts from the National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, which again takes another fortnight, he said.

Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B. Rupesh however said she was aware of the intricacies of the issue and would resolve it this week. There are very few companies undertaking this survey and the lowest bidder claimed that the quote was a little high compared to last year since two more rivers were added. “We will negotiate and go forward with the survey,” she said.

Jalasiri to ensure 24X7 water supply to Mangalureans

Mangaluru citizens will get 24X7 water supply, Jalasiri scheme, once the ADB-funded project is implemented. The work order has been issued to French-based Suez and DRS company and the total cost of the project is Rs 892 crore, MCC Commissioner Ajith Kumar Hegde Shanady said.

He was participating in the phone-in programme organised by Prajavani at DH-PV Editorial Office in Balmatta on Friday.

The contractor will take up field verification survey in December and the physical work on the project will be taken up by March, he added.

Shanady said the project envisages construction of 21 overhead water tanks, laying of 800 km of pipelines, shifting of existing household connections to the new connections and laying additional High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) distribution lines in in addition to the existing lines.

Further, boosting pump houses and construction of a new filtration unit with 18 MGD capacity at Ramalkatte will also be included in the project along with pressure relief valve for the distribution lines, he added.

46 zones

“As many as 46 zones will be created by covering all the 60 wards of Mangaluru City Corporation. At present, there are 35 zones for water supply distribution, which poses a few hurdles in the distribution system,” commissioner said.

The project will be completed in three years and the responsibility, operation and maintenance of the water supply system will be handed over to a contractor for eight years after the implementation.

Further, the contractor will have 24X7 grievance cell to attend to the complaints, Shanady added.

On storing water at Thumbe vented dam, Executive Engineer Linge Gowda said a decision to close the gates of the dam would be taken after the inflow stops and by consulting deputy commissioner.

Presently, the inflow into the dam has not stopped.

Also ensure thumbe dam water remains clean by implementing Wastewater treatment plants in all towns (eg, Puttur) in upper region of Netravati & its tributaries.

Bridge-cum-barrage on River Nethravathi soon

The tender process for construction of a bridge-cum-barrage across River Nethravathi to supply water to Ullal and nearby areas has been completed.

The construction is being taken up to also provide direct connectivity between Harekala and Adyar.

The work is likely to be started in the second week of December.

The project, at an estimated cost of Rs 174 crore, will provide a 520-metre long and 8.8-metre high barrage. A 10-metre wide bridge will be constructed to connect Harekala and Adyar.

The tender has been entrusted to firm owned by entrepreneur G Shankar. The officials from Minor Irrigation Department are making arrangement for laying foundation for the proposed work.

The work is being taken up under Pashchima Vahini project.

The barrage will have 52 gates and a capacity to store 0.66 TMC feet water. The barrage will be constructed downstream of Thumbe vented dam.

At present, water can be stored up to a height of 8.5 metre. Depending on the requirement of Ullal and surrounding areas, the height of the barrage can be increased in future.

The foundation will be built to aid increase the height in future, said Minor Irrigation officials.

Whether bridge width would decrease as barrage height is increased?

Adopt drip irrigation to save water, says Horticulture Dept.

With water scarcity over the years becoming a cause of concern for farmers in Dakshina Kannada, the Department of Horticulture has advised them to opt for drip irrigation on a large scale to save water and also crops during summer.

The State government, which declared Bantwal and Mangaluru taluks as drought-hit in 2017, again declared the entire Dakshina Kannada as partially drought-hit this January. Uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater and deforestation have resulted in the groundwater level falling below 500 ft in some pockets of the district.

If existing water is judiciously made use of by adopting drip irrigation for arecanut, coconut, banana, cashew, pineapple and other horticultural crops, 40 % to 50 % of water can be saved, said Deputy Director, Department of Horticulture, Dakshina Kannada, H.R. Nayak.

If drip irrigation is adopted, it also helped farmers to expand the area of crops as water saved can be diverted to grow the same crops or others.

And, water could also be saved for drinking. Pressure controlled drip irrigation systems are now available, he said.

Gujjarakere again to be rejuvenated, but under Smart City mission now

The Gujjarakere, a prominent water body at Jeppu in the city spread over about three acres, is set to get a fresh lease of life again under the Smart City mission after a decade-old issue of underground sewage seepage into it was addressed sometime ago.

Mangaluru Smart City Ltd. (MSCL) has invited bids to rejuvenate the lake and create recreation facilities on its banks at an estimated cost of ₹ 4 crore.

Managing Director, MSCL, Mohammed Nazir told The Hindu that the company has moved to rejuvenate the lake only after ensuring that there is no seepage of sewage into it from the underground sewage network surrounding the lake.

Mangaluru City Corporation replaced the old problematic sewage network and commissioned the new network sometime ago.

Mr. Nazir told The Hindu that the rejuvenation proposal covered dredging the lake to about two metres deep. The other facilities to be created would include building a walking track around the lake, constructing a children’s play area and a public toilet and an open gym. There would be railings around the lake and the surroundings would be beautified with landscape works. The open gym would be like the one created at Kadri Park.

The rejuvenation project also included construction of a “kund” in the lake.

The total project cost estimated comprised GST, escalation and tender premium, contingency cost, plumbing and electrical works.

The Gujjarakere Theertha Samrakshana Samithi has been fighting to save and rejuvenate the last largest water body within the city limits since past a decade.

According to Nemu Kottari, secretary of the samithi, the government has spent over ₹ 5 crore for the lake development since 2008-09. Works already done covered dredging, building an embankment and retaining walls and laying a new sewer network in the area to prevent flow of sewage into the lake.

The growth of hyacinth due to water contamination from the flow of sewer from the old network was the main concern.

Cycle track proposed at Kavoor lake

According to a bio-ecological study of the lake conducted by Sushmitha K., Assistant Director of the Fisheries Department, and Sreepada K.S. and K. Bhasker Shenoy, professors of applied zoology in Mangalore University, 10 species of fish, which are of less commercial value and belonging to the order Cypriniformes, had been found in the lake.

The study published in the ‘International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies’ in 2015 said that small weed fish, such as small minnows and barbs, had been found near the edges of the lake all the year round. This attracted the birds to the tank.

The study pointed out that the waterbody faced a great threat from pollution owing to urban waste.

Non-biodegradable material like plastic covers, bottles, metal, glass pieces, garbage, etc., are thrown near the tank bund which gradually entered into the tank.

Pollution owing to domestic waste boosted the growth of algae and other macrophytes in the tank.

The study also mentioned about the encroachment of the waterbody.

The lake can be used as a source of city water supply chain after proper disinfection and purification. It can be developed as an ecotourism spot, the study said.

“...There is an urgent need to protect this tank from further degradation…,” it said.

‘Govt committed to improve water table’

He was speaking after inaugurating a vented dam, constructed across Kiruhole by Department of Minor Irrigation at an estimated cost of Rs 1 crore, at Nalayagundi in Uppinangady on Saturday.

The minister said the state government had given priority to improve water table by constructing vented dams under Paschima Vahini project.

Karnataka CM B S Yediyurappa to lay foundation stone for Rs 347 crore development projects on December 8

Major among the projects that will get off the ground include construction of 27 vented dams across the rivulets that feed the Nethravathi river under the much touted Paschimavahini project at a cost of Rs 75 crore. This will help not just the agriculturists of the region, but also villages in the path as these proposed dams will help augment the water table, he said. The taluk will also get roads worth Rs 57 crore under Namma Grama, Namma Rasthe, he said.

In addition, minor irrigation department has initiated work of constructing retaining walls at a cost of Rs 30 crore along the rivulet banks to protect villages abutting it, he said. In many cases, the debris that came with the gushing water and blocked the existing vented-dams-cum-mini road bridges forced the water to change the natural flow path, eating into the river banks, thereby threatening the houses along the river banks, the MLA noted.

24x7 customer care centre for water supply planned

In addition to the existing water storage facilities, 20 more tanks of different capacities will be built in the city as part of the Jalasiri project. To connect these new water storage facilities, 40km of new pipelines will be laid in the city. Pipes of various measurements from 200mm to 450mm will be used to pump water from storage areas to different parts of the city. Meanwhile, 25.1km of existing pipelines will be replaced with new ones. Additional underground sumps, eight boosting pump houses and a new water purification plant of 80MLD capacity will also be constructed. In addition, 1,388km of distribution lines will also be laid, and roads damaged during the work will be restored either by being concreted or asphalted, he said.

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system of software and hardware will be used to monitor, gather, and process real-time data of water supply from the vented dam at Thumbe to all storage areas. A customer care number will address all types of grievances of people with regard to the water supply in the city. There will be no illegal connections once the Jalasiri project is completed, he said.

Paschima Vahini: Work taken up on 11 vented dams in DK

The government, in the past, had approved of Rs 200 crore in the first phase, Rs 611 crore in the second phase and Rs 583 crore in the third phase for the projects prepared by the Minor Irrigation department.

Expenditure

The work on 11 vented dams in Dakshina Kannada began at an estimated cost of Rs 265 crore and on 14 vented dams at an estimated cost of Rs 52.60 crore in Udupi this year.

“Of the 11 works, the vented dam at Brahmasthana Katta at Niddodi village in Moodbidri has been completed. The work on four vented dams at Thorpu in Maroor of Moodbidri, Karpe in Bantwal, Uddara and Kukkujuttu in Belthangady will be completed by May,” Krishna Kumar, assistant executive engineer of the Minor Irrigation Department, told DH.

The work on the remaining four vented dams is in progress, he added.

The estimated cost of the vented dam at Kukkujuttu in Nittade is Rs 6.29 crore, at Uddara near Kadirudyavara is Rs 4.92 crore, Niddodi Brahmasthana is 2 crore and at Thorpu is 5.55 crore.

A sum of Rs 11.46 crore will be utilised for the construction of vented dam at Kolavooru-Sannikai, Rs 7 crore for Sangabettu-Pucchemogaru, Rs 15 crore for Karpe Dota, Rs 12.5 crore for Kariyangala Polali, Rs 18.4 crore for Biliyooru, Rs 7.5 crore for Charvadka Ujiradka in Sullia, and Rs 174 crore for vented dam across River Nethravathi at Harekala.

Proposal revised

Krishna Kumar said that the proposal on the vented dam at Biliyooru in Bantwal has been revised and is awaiting a Cabinet approval.

“Initially, it was decided to construct the vented dam on submerge concept. However, the residents and the MLA demanded the construction of an all-weather road. Instead of a manual gate to store water, a power lifting gate is also proposed in the new estimate,” he said and added, “The revised estimate for Rs 46.70 crore was submitted to the government for approval.”

The work on a bridge-cum-barrage at Harekala at an estimated cost of Rs 174 crore was entrusted to G Shankar and Company on turnkey model for Rs 194 crore.

“The work is likely to be taken up shortly. Apart from the vented dams under the Paschima Vahini project, the Minor Irrigation Department has constructed 306 minor vented dams so far in the district,” said Krishna Kumar.

Best way to make water available to everyone without much damage to Westernghat. You need to increase population of coastal region instead of the parched region. Not only water but let more people get benefits of things like SWAC, cheaper water transportation etc also. If we make use of these economically efficient energy sources & transportation modes then environmental cost of development will also be minimized.

If we reduce population of the parched region then we can also reserve more space for nature and everyone will have prakrti sampattu. So, let us not make vikrti of prakrti.

Valcano erruptions were always there. Why should their effect should be felt now only? There are many reasons for cimate changes. Valcanos are just one among them. Putting all blames on valcanos is ridiculous! There was no major volcanic erruptions in recent years still we are seeing climate change effects. List of large volcanic eruptions in the 21st century - biggest erruption of 21st century occured in 2011 but there was definitely no significant effect on Coorg or Kerala due to this.

Coorg & Kerala floods occured in August 2018. There was no volcanic erruptions during 2017. There was Volcán de Fuego erruptions in Guatemala during June & November 2018 which killed around 200 people as there was no time for evacuation but was not a major volcanic erruption to effect climate world over. Major erruption of 2018 of Anak Krakatoa volcano occured in December 2018 after Coorg & Kerala floods.

List of submarine volcanoes

The submarine volcano erruption in November 2018 (Formation of a huge underwater volcano offshore the Comoros, Geologists Discover Largest Underwater Volcano, Explain Weird Hum Heard Around the World, Where Did This Massive Underwater Volcano Come From?) occured two months after Coorg & Kerala floods though seismic activities started in May 2018 (submarine volcano came into being six months later). Anyway everything occured inside sea hence might not have changed atmospheric temperature though could have created some extra clouds by heating sea.

Climate change due to valcano erruptions can not give anyone permission to destroy Westerghats. As far as possible we should save our natural assets! Karnataka's natural assets can not be destroyed just for the sake of one city or a region surrounding it.

Any way, closing down BDA is a nice suggestion! (I don't know why these learned people joining hands with politicians in 'designing for failure'). But better suggestion as I posted earlier is to stop excess job generation in the parched city. Excess government-funded Knowledge Infrastructure in the parched city/region at the cost of other cities/regions of the state is the reason for unbalanced job generation in Karnataka. I have also talked about how the state government is discouraging industrialization of non-parched region of Karnataka by levying extra water tariff on industries uniformly across the state as the parched region is suffering from water shortage - MSEZ stares down barrel with steep hike in water tariff.

The parched region is eyeing on westernghats after destroying its rivers and lakes. As I posted earlier so much Kaveri water is wasted in to Bay of Bengal. They don't want to use this water as they have polluted & destroyed Kaveri river already. Instead of cleaning up Kaveri river now they want to destroy Westernghats! So better suggestion to the parched region should be to rebuild & clean up their natural assets of rivers & lakes.

Here is another view -

Karnataka’s coast & the ghats at risk: Climate change wreaks havoc.

He feels vented dams and sand mining in estuaries too are to blame for the fall in the amount of sand getting washed onto the shore. The construction of sea walls has led to a loss in the beach stretch, he says and cites the example of the Summer Sands beach resort at Ullal where the sea was about 1 km away from the beach resort in the 1980s. “Now the sea has not only covered this 1 km, it is virtually knocking at the doors of the resort,” he notes.

Human intervention and the construction of a sea wall have also led to the beach at Bengre in north Mangaluru increasing in its reach while there is erosion and an advancing sea to the south.

As waterflow in Gurupura river decreases further due to kattas we have to be more careful about releasing waste water to the river near Baikampady.

ಸ್ಥಳೀಯಾಡಳಿತಗಳ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯ

ರಸ್ತೆ, ಕಟ್ಟಡ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅತೀವ ನೀರಿನ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇದರಿಂದ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಅಂತರ್ಜಲದ ಮಟ್ಟವು 700 ಅಡಿಗಳಷ್ಟು ಕುಸಿದಿದೆ. ನಗರದ ಗುಜ್ಜರಕೆರೆ, ಕಾವೂರು ಕೆರೆಗೆ ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ಅನುದಾನ ಬಳಕೆಯಾದರೂ ಚರಂಡಿ ನೀರು, ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ನೀರು ಸೇರುತ್ತಲೇ ಇದೆ. ಮಾದರಿ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂತರ್ಜಲ ಉಳಿಸುವಲ್ಲಿ ಗಂಭೀರ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನವಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. ಅರೆ ಬರೆ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿ ನಡೆಸಿ ಬಳಸಿದ ಹಣದ ಮೂಲ ಉದ್ದೇಶವೇ ವ್ಯರ್ಥವಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಸ್ಥಳೀಯಾಡಳಿತ ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗಂಭೀರ ಚಿಂತನೆ ನಡೆಸಿ ಕ್ರಮಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಿದೆ.

Parisara Sammelana at Tannirbavi on March 1

Dinesh Holla, environmental activist and artist, said that escalation of the cost of the on-going Netravathi diversion project or the Yettinahole project was a clear example of how the government is planning unscientific projects and ruining the eco-sensitive Western Ghats.

Altering the landscape where rivers originated in the Western Ghats by building resorts and roads, has resulted in landslips in Sampaje and Shiradi areas. Such man-made disasters are waiting to happen in the Charmadi Ghat and Agumbe Ghat, Mr. Holla said.

SWM units: MCC issues notices to bulk waste generators

The bulk waste generators in Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) jurisdiction were asked to set up solid waste management (SWM) units on their premises by October 31. However, many have sought time to do so.

The MCC has already served notices to all the bulk waste generators who have failed to implement SWM. As per NGT guidelines, hotels, bars, wedding halls, catering units, chicken stalls, apartments, small industries, hostels, paying guest accommodations and educational institutions have to manage the wet waste on their own.

MCC Commissioner Ajith Kumar Hegde Shanady had convened meetings with the bulk waste generators to ensure that waste is managed scientifically. The owners were also explained on a few models of solid waste management units.

Some apartments have started using fibre bins based on the pot composting model initiated by Ramakrishna Mission in Mangaluru to process wet waste. An apartment in Derebail has installed an organic converter to process wet waste, MCC sources said.

Madhu Manohar said, ‘’St Aloysius Institutions has come up with a concept of zero-waste on campus. About 1.2 tonnes of wet waste is generated on their campus. Steps have been taken to process it scientifically. MCC has been creating awareness”.

'Implement underground drainage work properly'

Chairing a district-level review meeting on the progress achieved under various works here, Mr. Ponnuraj said that agencies executing underground drainage pipeline work should collect details of houses, complexes and other buildings abutting a particular road before taking up the work. This would help the agency in providing new connections in the coming years.

Mr. Ponnuraj noted that underground drainage works under many heads, including Smart City, AMRUT project, ADB Tranche II, are going on in the city. He visited several project sites on Tuesday morning and inspected the progress of work. They are being executed without any proper plan, he told officials from civic agencies.

He said that executing agencies should have all the details of property around the project area. Therefore, the projects should be designed in that manner before its implementation.

Mr. Ponnuraj noted that the government has sanctioned ₹ 58 crore to repair the missing links of the underground drainage project executed under ADB I tranche and the agencies should utilise the funds properly.

Chief secretary directs MCC to scout alternate site for dumping waste

Bhaskar, who earlier served as commissioner of BBMP, said waste management is a major problem and it has now become imperative for MCC to search for alternate land for scientific disposal of its waste. Abandoned stone quarries are ideal for this purpose, he said, directing the officials to look out for such land. Noting that such places are ideally away from human habitats, he averred they will be ideal place for disposal of solid waste.

Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said nearly 8-lakh metric tonnes of waste slid down from the Pachchanady dumping site during monsoon and entered human inhabited areas. The city corporation has made alternate arrangements for the affected families, she said. A high-level technical team that had visited the area, has reported that the place design is not suitable for dumping and the current waste should be disposed through bio-mining.

Maurishka Palace Residents Association President Subodh Shetty said that coconut shells and watermelons took considerable time to convert into compost. Thus the association purchased a crusher to crush the waste before dumping it inside the bins. The compost will be ready after a month of a bin getting filled.

Dr Ravi Kiran, highlighting the process of waste management at Maurishka Palace, said that waste is divided into wet, dry and sanitary waste and collected by the housekeeping unit of the apartment.

Wet waste is used to prepare compost while the dry waste is handed over to the vendor twice a week and sanitary waste is disposed of according to the guidelines of MCC by covering it in a newspaper and marking red over it before handing it over to to the agency fixed by the MCC. The association gets Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000 per month by selling dry waste to the vendor, he explained.

“We are slowly moving towards segregating hazardous waste like mosquito coil, batteries, bulb in the future,” added Dr Kiran.

Dried coconut shells are excellent source for biochar!

Recycling at landfill: MCC’s new way to fight plastic
27-tonne dry waste segregated at Pacchanady yard

An entrepreneur is using the potential of technology to ease the burden on landfills in Pacchanady dumping yard of Mangaluru City Corporation.

About 27 tonnes of plastic waste that reaches Pacchanady dumping yard, situated on the outskirts of Mangaluru, is segregated daily and used for various forms of recycling.

Already, 100 tonnes of bailed plastic PET bottles have been shipped to the Netherlands from Pacchanady site, said MCC Environment Engineer Madhu S Manohar to DH.

The unit is run by Nature Friendly Recycle Industries and Dry Waste Handling, owned by Imran, who had a unit at Baikampady industrial area.

Madhu said, “Already, Imran, an entrepreneur, has installed shredder machine, bailing unit and melting machines to recycle the plastic waste that reaches the dumping yard. As many as 36 workers are engaged in segregate various types of plastic that gets dumped at the site. If plastic carry bags are dirty, the dust is removed using a machine.”

All the collected PET bottles are fed into the bailing unit, that compresses the volume of the bottles. They can then be sent to recycling units.

Other plastic materials are melted to prepare pellets and then to lumps and are sent to recycling units at Gujarat, explained Madhu.

“Before the installation of the unit, the generated waste was entering the landfill site. Now, about 27 tonnes of plastic entering the landfill site has been reduced,” said MCC Commissioner Ajith Kumar Hegde Shanady.

On an average, the unit daily segregates dry wastes like 2,848 kg of PET bottles, 3,918 kg of paper/cardboard/office paper, 1,812 kg of plastic packing bag/cement bag, 2,716 kg of article plastic waste, 1,932 kg of bottles, 860 kg of coconut shells, 1,142 kg of oil packets, 865 kg of tyre and rubber items and 100 kg of metal items. The entrepreneur who runs it has invested Rs 50 lakh to instal various machines.

The project is started on a pilot basis and it has yielded good results, said Madhu.

Whether any recycling unit is proposed in Plastic Park?

Bulk waste generators have another solution

Mangaluru Ramakrishna Mutt has shown that bulk waste generators can handle the generated waste within their premises if they have some space available there. There is no need to add any microbes or additives to get wet waste converted into fine manure as the worms that get generated inside the waste would convert it into manure, said Swamy Ekagamyananda, convener of Mangaluru Ramakrishna Mission’s Swatch Mangaluru Abhiyan.

The Ramakrishna Mutt has built a bulk waste handling unit on about 120 sq ft space inside its premises, that resemble partitioned ground-level water tanks. Iron mesh is provided at the bottom to drain out waste water; this drain water too acts as manure, the Swami said. About 20 kg of wet waste is filled in these chambers every day while Black Soldier worms get generated in about four days. The worms then start consuming the waste thereby turning it into manure and at the end of about a month, fine manure would be available. These are the same worms that convert wet waste in pot-composting units of individual households. For 600 kg of wet waste, about 60 kg of manure would be available every month at the mutt, the Swami said.

The unit would not emit any foul smell nor would it require any microbes to convert the waste into manure, the Swami said. Bulk waste generators having space and funds could opt for such units for effective wet waste disposal, he said.

Village industry

With at least 10,000 pot-composting units estimated to be required for the mega initiative, the move provides jobs to hundreds of potters in the region. The Mission is already procuring units from Anantpur in Andhra Pradesh, Ballari, Kunigal and Perdur in Udupi district. There is also a possibility of establishing a mega pottery unit near Mangaluru, the Swami said.

Action plan being prepared to reduce marine pollution

Department additional chief secretary Dr Shalini Rajneesh, in a presentation, has pointed out that Karnataka has rich marine resources which offer massive employment, food and nutritional security. However, the coastal water quality has been declining and the bivalve production too has seen a drastic decline by 71% during the last 15 years. “The department has set a target of addressing the threats of industrial effluents and sewage through coastal water monitoring and initiate necessary action. More emphasis will be on zero discharge of industrial effluents and sewage. Policies and action plans will be prepared to identify the declining coastal fisheries due to pollution, and initiate measures to improve the ambient coastal water quality,” she said, adding that it is aimed at earmarking 5% of the total budget of fisheries department for the purpose.

Major steps include installation of a number of sewage treatment plants along the coast, and construction of toilets under the Swachh Bharat Mission. Out of 27 urban local bodies (ULB) in coastal districts of Uttar Kannada, Udupi and Dakshina Kannada, 23 have been certified open defecation free (ODF), and third-party inspection is under progress, Shalini said.

With regard to the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in coastal waters in Kulai, which is an industrial discharge point in Mangaluru, an action plan will be prepared to strengthen the CRZ, and the Coast Guard to monitor pollution levels, she said.

17 government schools in Mangaluru to get a facelift under Smart City Mission

In all, 17 government schools in the city will get a facelift under the Smart City Mission. The project comprises strengthening the schools with civil infrastructure works as well as modern IT tools of teaching, learning and communication.

Civil works at an estimated cost of ₹11 crore are now being undertaken in those schools, some of which are in Pandeshwar, Neereshwalya, Hoigebazar and Bolara, said Mohammed Nazir, Managing Director, Mangaluru Smart City Ltd (MSCL).

These include laying of floor tiles, plastering and painting of walls, upgrading of toilets, repair of roofs and the like. In addition, badminton and kabaddi courts will be created wherever required.

Car Street likely to be developed as Heritage Walk Road

Draft project report submitted to MSCL

Mangaluru Smart City Ltd. (MSCL) has planned to develop the 1.1-km stretch of Car Street, from Karnad Sadashiva Rao Road to Kulur Ferry Road Junction, near Srinivas Theatre, as a Heritage Walk Road with a view to tap the heritage value of the stretch that is dotted with many temples.

Mangaluru City South MLA D. Vedavyas Kamath told reporters here on Tuesday that the Heritage Walk Road would encompass many temples, including Sharavu Sri Maha Ganapathi Temple, Lakshmi Narasimha Mutt, Umamaheshwara Temple, Venkataramana Temple and Sri Samsthana Gokarna Parthagali Mutt.

Mr. Kamath said that ₹ 14.59 crore is planned to be spent on the project, whose draft detailed project report was submitted to MSCL on December 3. The final report is expected by December 25. The road would be developed to highlight the local heritage, the MLA said.

The project comprises construction of proper footpaths on the entire stretch, erection of decorative street lighting and face-lift to temple facades to highlight their heritage value, among others. A detailed meeting of architects, city planners and local stakeholders was recently conducted to elicit their views and take the project forward. More feedback would be gathered in the next 10 days to fine tune the proposal before going ahead with its implementation, he said.

Mr. Kamath said that during Monday’s Smart City project progress review meeting, he had suggested to MSCL Chairman and District Secretary V. Ponnuraj to extend the scope of the Heritage Walk stretch to Lower Car Street as well. The move would provide an alternative entry point to the city once the proposed river-front development work was implemented in phases, he noted.

The MLA said that if the additional proposal was accepted, it would help tap the heritage value of tile factories on the Sulthan Batheri Road stretch. He added that officials were working out modalities on how to implement it. Upon merging the Heritage Walk Road project with river-front development project, the city would get a minimum three more entry/exit points — Sulthan Batheri, Lower Car Street and Bunder — thereby reducing congestion on other roads.

Car Street identified for ‘Heritage Walk’

“The Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been submitted for the upcoming sports complex and indoor stadium at Urwa Market at a cost of Rs 35 crore. As much as Rs 10 crore has been released for the development of Mangala Stadium in a phased manner. Tender has been called for the development of Gujjarkere lake at a cost of Rs 4 crore. The deadline for the submission of tender is December 31,” Kamath said.

Development of Kadri Park connecting road will be taken up at the cost of Rs 12 crore. Yemmekere swimming pool worth Rs 24.96 crore is in the tendering process. Work will be taken up soon after public grievances are resolved,” he added.

The proposal on Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP) facility, to be developed on 1.55 acres of land at Hampankatte, is likely to get approval in the MSCL board meeting, scheduled to be held in the first week of February. The MLCP will be developed at a cost of Rs 94 crore and concessionaire of the work was identified one year ago, after authorities decided to acquire 60 cents of land from private individuals, in addition to 1.55 acres of land. As the MoU with the private individuals on the acquisition of 60 cents of land did not materialise, it has been decided to start work on the 1.55 acres of land.

Why land acquistion notice for MLCP is not served till now in spite of proposal being more than ten years old?

Solid waste collectors will have to scan this QR code using their mobile phones daily after collecting garbage. Then, whether garbage has been collected or not will be displayed in the integrated command and control centre (CCC) now being set up near the City Corporation office. Health officials of the corporation can also check the process.

...

Speaking at a Meet-the-Press organised by the Union of Dakshina Kannada Working Journalists here on Tuesday, he said that MSCL has fixed enviro-sensors at five places in the city.

If there are any abnormalities in environment monitoring indicators, the CCC would receive a message from the sensors. Later, information would be passed on to the government departments concerned, including Karnataka State Pollution Control Board, for suitable action.

He said said that smart poles would be installed in 15 places in the city. Their devices would be linked to the CCC. Each pole would have a LED light, a Variable Message Sign (VMS) board, five CCTV cameras, emergency or SoS button and a public address system.

The VMS board will display information required, including the traffic situation. The CCTV cameras linked to CCC are used for surveillance purpose. This information is passed on to the police.

Using the SoS or emergency button, any person can speak to the staff at CCC where they can see those to whom they are talking to, for conveying urgent information in view of public interest.

Mr. Nazir said that the CCC would cost ₹ 74 crore. It will enable regular monitoring of public services and facilities through a unified system for governing public administration. It is a pan-city project and a central converging point for all smart interventions, especially Information Technology and Information, Communication and Technology-based ones.

Gujjarakere rejuvenation under Smart City Mission will begin within a week, says MSCL

The work order for taking up the civil works and create recreation facilities on the banks of the lake has been issued to the contractor. The project will cost about ₹ 4 crore, he said.

The rejuvenation proposal covered dredging the lake to about two metres deep. The other facilities to be created are building a walking track around the lake, constructing a children’s play area and a public toilet and an open gym. There would be railings around the lake and the surroundings would be beautified with landscape works. The open gym would be like the one created at Kadri Park.

The rejuvenation project also included construction of a “kund” in the lake, he said.

MSCL is in the process of taking up the works as Mangaluru City Corporation plugged underground sewage seepage into the lake about a year ago. The corporation has replaced the old problematic sewage network in the area.

3D diagnostic tool SPINAK to improve spinal treatment

Naina J A, DHNS, Manipal, Nov 29 2019, 23:47pm ist updated: Nov 30 2019, 00:28am ist

A 3D diagnostic and treatment planning tool for spinal disorders called ‘SPINAK’ was launched by Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) Pro Chancellor Dr H S Ballal and KMC Dean Dr Sharath Rao on Friday.

The cost effective software, Spinak, was jointly developed by Kumudha Health Tech Pvt Limited, a unit under MUTBI and Department of Orthopaedics, KMC, MAHE.

The product is an online web-based diagnostic tool for spinal disorders such as scoliosis. It is accessible as “SPINAK” .

The software collects two X-rays (frontal and lateral) as input to generate a 3D model of the spine.

With the help of features extracted from these images, the deformities are quantified by the software. The axial vertebral rotation and spinal curvatures are automatically measured from the 3D model and a report is generated as an output.

There is an option in the user interface to order for a 3D printed model for treatment planning. The software thus replaces CT and MRI, reducing the financial burden on poor patients by simply using two X-rays captured for the follow up.

This is an innovative product designed and developed by Dr Sampath Kumar of Department of Electronics and Communications, Dr Hareesha K S of Department of Computer Applications, Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) in association with Dr Shymsunder Shymsunder Bhat, Department of Orthopaedics, KMC, MAHE.

Dr H S Ballal told media persons that an innovation which would just cost one tenth of CT/MRI was a significant contribution to the society.

KMC Dean Dr Sharath Rao highlighting the complexity of spine described scoliosis as a 3-dimensional deformity.

MIT Director D Srikanth Rao emphasised the advantages of inter-disciplinary collaborative research work.

It has been proved that such collaboration can provide affordable and cost effective solutions to the societal issues.

Kumudha Health Tech Pvt Limited Managing Director Dr Sampath Kumar described the product working process and urged doctors to use the feature of 3D printing while planning their pre-surgery for more accuracy.

Karnataka emerging destination for lifesaving sports

Karnataka is fast emerging a prominent destination for surf lifesaving sports, with Mangaluru an important training hub. Four years ago, Partha Varanashi, international swimmer and swim coach, introduced surf lifesaving training for children (Nippers) at Tannir Bhavi beach. A few students, who began their training then, are now part of team Lifesaving Karnataka at the Varanashi Development and Research Centre.

For the first time, a delegation of 24 athletes comprising 18 from Mangaluru and Puttur and four from Bengaluru participated in the National Lifesaving Sports Rescue India 2019 organised by Rashtriya Life Saving Society India at Diu and Daman. The team won 26 gold, 22 silver and 19 bronze medals in the individual category and eight gold, four silver and one bronze in relay and won first runners-up in overall championship in pool events. Rohit P, trainer, Varanashi Development and Research Centre, is all set to represent India in the Commonwealth Festival of Lifesaving in London from November 21-23.

Rohit told TOI, “I have been participating in the national event since 2016. Partha introduced lifesaving sports, with coach Niroop GR as the chief trainer. It’s the first time that 24 athletes represented Karnataka.”

Rohit believes that lifesaving sports encourages swimmers not to give up swimming after a point. He said, “Many swimmers, especially from Bengaluru, have shown interest in lifesaving sports. After swimmers participate in the senior category, the only option left is Master’s category. Most either shift to water polo or quit swimming to concentrate on academics. This is a platform for swimmers to continue their career and represent the nation,” said Rohit.

Partha Varanashi, director Surf Lifesaving, India (affiliated to Rashtriya Life Saving Society) and Rohit are determined to see many athletes from Karnataka participate in the Commonwealth and World Championship. They are currently working on forming a national team that will represent the country in the World Championship in September 2020 in Italy. Selection for this event will be held during April-May. The duo is also working on forming a state association.

Surf lifesaving events are related to pool beach and ocean. “Lifesaving sports spark interest in youth to learn lifesaving skills. Considering the natural calamities we face, our future will be in better hands if today’s youths get into this sport,” said Partha.

Rohit for Commonwealth meet

Rohit will attend the Commonwealth Festival of Lifesaving in London as India’s team manager. “This will be a great learning experience. Along with Yashraj from Pune, I’ll participate in lane throw event. We’ll also meet representatives from the Royal Life Saving Society, UK and International Life Saving Society,” he said.

'Lifesaving Sports Academy', 'Marine Forensics University', 'Indian Institute of Drones' should create a great scenario with 'Coast Gurad Training Academy'!

Sahyadri Science Talent Hunt – SSTH 2019

This school wants kids to eat right, say no to junk food

During breaks, students prefer to eat chips, burgers, pizzas, samosas and other junk food along with packaged juices or aerated drinks.

Ramesh KN, principal, in-charge, said that the idea of this food festival was to promote healthy eating among children. Around 66 traditional home-cooked dishes, popular in Kerala and Karnataka, were served. This was a platform for the students to present their culinary skills and understand the importance of having a healthy diet. Items on display included chattipathiri (layered pastry), rice pradhaman, veg pulav, pal payasam, koochappam, muringayila (drumstick leaves) curry, carrot halwa, veg salad, potato cutlet, rasmalai, rava laddu, holige, appam, carrot laddu, veg cutlet, unnakai (spindle shaped sweet dessert made of plantain), chapati, neyyapam, banana koomb curry and other dishes. Several dishes prepared from leafy vegetables were also served. The vegetables served were made from spinach, drumstick leaves, green gram leaves, banana stem, lettuce, long bean leaves, cowpea leaves and banana flowers.

Aren't koochappam, veg cutlet, potato cutlet junk foods? If you ask any ayurvedic doctor he will say don't eat fried items. Anyway now a days doctors don't want us even to eat rice, wheat, sugar based items (some people think junk food will become good food if we add jaggery instead of sugar) - Grow Tulsi to purify atmosphere, says Ramdev

He (Baba Ramdev) urged people to change their lifestyle. “... There is a need to reduce the consumption of food made of rice and wheat and consume more of vegetables. ...”

Shouldn't teachers be trained on junk foods?

Land near Kenjar

160 acres of land had previously been allotted to the JESCO Company on the banks of the river Gurupur, near Kenjar. However, KIADB withdrew the site because the company had not invested there. Two years ago the state government decided to grant it for the Coast Guard Academy, and approved so in the cabinet meeting.

Report stresses on need for a ‘National Institute for Jackfruit Development’

A research project by the Jaipur-based National Institute of Agricultural Marketing (NIAM) and the Justice KS Hegde Institute of Management (JKSHIM), Nitte (Udupi district), has suggested the need for the establishment of a ‘National Institute for Jackfruit Development’ to boost the prospects of jackfruit in the country.

Mission Jackfruit

To improve the ecosystem for cultivation and value addition, the research report suggested a ‘Mission Jackfruit’ initiative.

Favouring the establishment of a ‘germ-plasm bank’ under the ‘Mission Jackfruit’ initiative, the report said genetic studies should be done for exploiting the wide range of varieties. Efforts in this direction will help breed superior varieties.

Highlighting the need for including promotion of sorting and grading practices under ‘Mission Jackfruit’, it said jackfruit has a huge advantage over other fruits, as it can be consumed in five different stages of growth. Each of these stages has multiple uses across value-added products and in the retail market, it said. ‘Mission Jackfruit’ should make micro-finance for the jackfruit sector a part of developmental process.

There is a need to involve micro-finance institutions in helping small and marginal farmers involved in jackfruit cultivation, and those involved in processing at household or micro enterprise level, it said.
Consultative group

The report suggested that a consultative group be formed to draft ‘mission jackfruit’ initiative. The group could consist of experts from State departments, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, noted growers and processors, and specialists in the area of entrepreneurship. The group proposed for drafting ‘mission jackfruit’ initiative could be mandated to facilitate a feasibility study for the ‘National Institute for Jackfruit Development’, it said.

Knowledge, health corridor: Draft report in 6 months

Charulatha Somal, Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) managing director, has said that a draft report on the proposed Manipal – Konaje knowledge and health corridor will be prepared in six months.

Somal added that the proposed corridor will aim to achieve a conducive and enabling ecosystem for development and functioning of world-class academic and research institutions, manufacturing units and healthcare service providers.

Beyond industrial corridors “So far, there has been an emphasis on developing industrial corridors in the country. Now, we will move beyond and identify the tangible and intangible, inherent strengths of the region. The idea of the corridor generated from the people of the region and the KUIDFC has been mandated by the state government to initiate the activities for the growth of knowledge and health corridor. It is a mission and also a challenging exercise,” she opined.

“After the report is submitted, we will initiate dialogue with the government on the intervention needed from the government,” she added.

Ravindra of PwC, consultancy for the Manipal – Konaje knowledge and health corridor, said that the target segments for the corridor are innovation and knowledge, healthcare, corridor infrastructure, wellness and medical tourism, educational and researh.

“It aims at enabling the ecosystem and support services required for the development of the corridor. There is a need to capture the potential in wellness and medical tourism in the region. The corridor should act as a catalyst, creator of job and provider of wealth and knowledge,” he explained.

District In-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said that the proposed corridor is expecting investments from the public and private sectors, including physical and support infrastructure, for the effective implementation of the corridor project.

‘Recent Advances on Renewable Energy (RARE) 2020’ conference at NITK

During rainy season power produced by solar rooftop will reduce in our region. We need to explore possibility of generating power using the force of rain water flowing through pipe from top floor to ground (may be after filtering at top floor if water is not clean even after four-five days of diversion but has to check effect on kinetic energy of water). We need an integrated/hybrid power generation system along with wind & biogas (solar-hydro-wind-biogas-manual) for homes & buildings to cater to both urban and rural areas in all seasons. For this some of coastal engineering colleges have to work with Nirmiti Kendra. We can later also explore on converting kinetic energy of rain drops to electrical energy in a hydrid panel (photoelectric+piezoelectric) when such type of panel will be available in market.

Don’t commence actual construction of highway in Western Ghats region without court’s permission: HC

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday put a rider on the proposed greenfield highway, the Phase III of Chitradurga-Mangaluru inter-corridor of NH-173 between Mudigere Handpost to Nellyadi passing through the pristine Western Ghats, by stating that “actual construction of the highway” should not be commenced without permission from the court.

It has been said in the petition that NHAI had sought diversion of 60.13 hectares of land in the rain-forests encompassed in six reserve forests of the Western Ghats, a recognised biodiversity hotspot, for the project. And the NHAI has planned massive construction on several stretches of the highway without obtaining necessary clearances under Forest (Conservation) Act and in violation of Guidelines for taking Non-Forestry Activities in Wildlife Habitats under the Wildlife (Protection) Act.

The detailed project report indicates the highway cuts through environmentally sensitive areas of Western Ghats and is within 10 km from Kudremukh National Park and Bhadra Tiger Reserve. The DPR, however, is silent on damage to environment and proposes compensatory afforestation, which cannot compensate loss of natural rain forests as per scientific evidence, the petitioner said.

B C Road- Addahole four-laning work - 90% acquisition value paid

Finally, the highway authority decided to construct fly over and began payment of compensation to the land owners who have lost their land.

Rs 28 crore for 1.2 kilometres

The highway authority in Kalladka has identified six survey numbers in Golthamajalu gram panchayat limits and 16 survey numbers in Balthila gram panchayats. Rs 28 crores are fixed for 1.2 kilometre limits. There was confusion as there was difference between the amount fixed in the initial stages and the final payment.

Forty-five meter acquisition was decided in Kalladka also before deciding on flyover and survey was conducted. But the acquisition was reduced by 2.5 meter due to the flyover later. Most of the land and buildings came under safe zone reducing the land value and causing confusion.

Delay in flyover

Tender worth Rs 821 crore was issued in 2017 for development of 65 kilometres highway between B C Road and Addahole. But at present, the earlier tender stands curtailed. NHAI says that it will be past September 2020 by the time the process is completed and work begins. Though there is no connection between national highway works and Kalladka flyover tender, the commencement of flyover is likely to be delayed.

Manjunath, special land acquisition officer, NHAI Hassan, B C Road division said that payment of compensation was delayed as alignment was not finalized in Kalladka. “Land owners who produced land records have already been paid fixed value and 90% of the process is over,” he said.

'Rs 780 cr DPR for Mangaluru-Karwar fisheries road'

Karnataka State Planning Board Vice Chairman B J Puttaswamy said that feasibility report on the development of Mangaluru-Athradi State Highway 67 had been submitted by Coastal Development Authority (CDA) to the government.

“The proposal is with the Public Works Department for implementation.”

Speaking to reporters, he said a detailed project report (DPR) for Rs 780 crore to develop Mangaluru-Karwar fisheries road had been prepared and submitted to the government for approval by the Authority.

As many as 38 footbridge works were sanctioned in Dakshina Kannada and 25 works had been completed. While in Udupi, 18 footbridges were sanctioned and 12 had been completed. In Uttara Kannada, 46 footbridges were sanctioned and 14 had been completed.

Incomplete highway

To a query on incomplete work on NH 66, including the inordinate delay in the completion of flyover at Shastri Circle in Kundapura, Puttaswamy said that he would bring the issue to the notice of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and also to the notice of Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

‘Detailed project reports to build road infrastructure submitted’

State Planning Board Deputy Chairman B.J. Puttaswamy on Monday said that a detailed project report for a two-lane concrete fisheries road between Talapady on Karnataka-Kerala border to Karwar was submitted to the State government through the Coastal Development Authority (CDA).

Speaking to reporters here, Mr. Puttaswamy said that the proposed road, running parallel to National Highway 66 and estimated to cost ₹ 780 crore, would benefit thousands of fishermen families residing on the coast.

Mr. Puttaswamy said that the CDA has also proposed to widen the Bajpe-Athradi-Udupi road into a four-lane highway at a cost of ₹ 580 crore for which a detailed project report has been sent to the government.

Sringeri will get train link to B’luru, M’luru

Well-known activist and environmentalist Kalkuli Vittala Hegde said in the present scenario, there’s no need for train connectivity. "Mangaluru road is a single road inside the national park area for over 7km. It is not widened due to environmental concerns. Every year, tens of people succumb to injuries due to accidents on this stretch. We need good roads; not a train. The locals don't require any train. It is for outsiders. Definitely, it will have a lot of ecological complications," he said.

I also oppose this line. Sringeri train link is a big nonsense. Westernghat should not be developed further than providing basic facilities to locals. I have already stated further developing towns like Ujire is dangerous.

Plea to extend Kozhikode-Bengaluru trains to Kasaragod

In the absence of MEMU trains, long-distance services are the only solace for passengers. Every month, bigger stations like Kasaragod, Kanhangad and Payyanur register a collection of around ₹5 crore. The Railways cite lack of tracks or space to accommodate more trains for the delay in extending services. However, the available space at Mangaluru Junction could be considered in such a scenario, Mr. Kumar said.

Anyway DK MP is not interested in cooperating with Kasargod MP for this extension.

Merge Mangaluru railway region with SWR: The Kukke Shree Subrahmanya-Mangalore Rail Commuters’ Forum

As an alternative, the Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd., (KRCL), whose term as a corporation has already expired, may be merged with Indian Railways bringing portions in Goa and Karnataka under SWR with Mangaluru being the new divisional headquarters, while portions in Maharashtra may be merged with Central Railway, forum convener Sudarshan Puttur said in a representation.

The forum also demanded priority for doubling the line between Padil and Subrahmanya Road under SWR instead of doubling the Ghat section between Surbahmanya Road and Sakleshpur. Farangipet, Kaniyur and Kodimbala stations under SWR should be redeveloped as full-fledged passenger amenity stations in view of increased number of people using the same while Adarsha Station works at Bantwal should be completed on priority, the Forum said.

The Railways should develop Subrahmanya Road Station as a terminal station and plan its redevelopment under Tourism Station Project.

With regard to train facilities, Mr. Puttur demanded regularising the services of Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction-Vijayapura Tatkal Express and its extension to Hyderabad via Kalaburagi and Mangaluru Central.

Other demands included extension of Karwar-Yeshwantpur tri-weekly express to Tirupathi; extension of Howrah-Vasco Express to Mangaluru Central and extension of Madgaon-Mangalur Intercity Express, Bhatkal-Mangaluru Central DEMU Passenger, Mumbai CSMT-Mangaluru Junction Express and Thiruvananthapuram-Mangaluru Central Maveli Express to Subrahmanya Road Station.

Forum demands railways to merge Mangaluru railway region with SWR

Railway to bifurcate existing Bengaluru-Kannur/Karwar train?

Rail activists however were not happy as they wanted a new service. Gautam Shetty from Kundapur, working in Bengaluru, who had been coordinating the struggle, said, “Delinking the combined express at Subrahmanya Road consumes about 30 minutes. While the Karwar portion may get about 10 coaches, the Mangaluru/Kannur portion may get 13-14 coaches. This arrangement would not serve any purpose,” he said.

SWR had been citing “restrictions” in the 55-km Ghat stretch between Subrahmanya Road and Sakleshpur as the reason handicapping it to run more trains on the section. Senior SWR officials told The Hindu the zone is working to get the restrictions relaxed so as to introduce more trains.

“Discrimination against the rest of the coastal area should stop,” he said. With the Karwar portion not touching Mangaluru, the train could reach Karwar by 11 a.m., he said urging SWR to further speed up the train between Nelamangala and Bantwal to take it to Karwar by 10 a.m.

New Mangalore Port users seek better road, rail connectivity
Need to develop governance mechanism for ports
'Improve road connectivity to New Mangalore Port'

Plastics Export Promotion Council Chairman Ravish Kamath said that New Mangalore Port has a huge potential to grow when it comes to the export of value-added plastic products. Only 1,000 containers are exported from Mangaluru. Owing to better better connectivity, the exporters prefer Kochi and Chennai port.

Strange that country is wasting money & fuel on to & fro transportation when availability of raw materials for plastic industries is high in port cities.

The theme of the conference focused on trends in cargo movement and multimodal logistics in Mangaluru and Karnataka. Spread across two business sessions and plenary session, the conference saw a wide-ranging deliberation on topics supply chain challenges and opportunities, roadmap for enhancing connectivity and cargo movement in Mangaluru and finding solutions for the bottlenecks in seamless cargo movement, among others

NMPT chief favours tunnel development on Shiradi ghat stretch for better cargo movement

What is being planned now is to make the two-lane highway into a four-lane highway. But still the vehicles will have to negotiate the ghat. The other solution is to make a 23-km-long tunnel that will reduce the fuel consumption of driving on to the ghats and also bring down the time taken for travel.

Once this happens, NMPT will become as competitive as any other port. He said that around 2.45 lakh TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) of containers are going from Karnataka through Krishnapatnam, Chennai and Kochi. The development of a 23-km-long tunnel on the Shiradi ghat stretch will help bring all these cargo through NMPT as it will reduce both time and cost to the export-import sector, he said.

Stressing the need to improve the coastal cargo from NMPT, Ramana said the port now handles around 7-8 million tonnes (mt) of coastal cargo. “This year we have a target to reach 10 mt,” he said.

NMPT is allowing the coastal vessels to berth on priority in the port, and is giving a discount of 40 per cent on all the coastal cargo vessels. This going to be a big boost to the coastal cargo and local economy, he said.

On the traffic handling plans for the current financial year, he said the port handled 42.5 mt in 2018-19. Because of extended monsoon and three cyclones from April to November there was a hit on the movement of fertilizers, salt and chemicals at the port. “In spite of this, we want to even out the figures between December and March. This year we will be handling 43.5 mt to 44 mt keeping the turnaround time at 36 hours,” he said.

Mangaluru-Bengaluru - Additional IndiGo flight introduced

Mangaluru, Dec 4: Another flight has been introduced on the segment between the city and Bengaluru. IndiGo has introduced this flight. With this, the number of flights operating on this route has gone up to ten.

SpiceJet has been operating five flights with a seating capacity of 180 every day on this route, and they are almost full. The city is currently connected to destinations like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Doha Qatar, Sharjah, Bahrain, Kuwait and Muscat through airline operators like IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Air India.

Regional manager of IndiGo Airlines here, Archana, said that the new flight was added from November 30 in the light of demand from commuters. She said that with the current additional flight, IndiGo has been operating five flights to Bengaluru, and its New Delhi flight too has become popular among the passengers.

In the meanwhile, former president of Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sudhakar Shetty, has approached Mysuru MP, Pratap Simha, and officials of Mysuru airport and IndiGo airlines with a memorandum requesting them to begin flights between the city and Mysuru to give impetus to tourism and trade potential of coastal Karnataka.

Apathy! Mangaluru airport crying for connectivity

Experts suggest the government needs to decrease the Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) tax and include Mangaluru under the Udaan scheme to improve its air connectivity.

“At present the ATF tax here is 28 per cent unlike in the neighbouring state where it is 1 per cent. Our state government too should subsidies the ATF tax as this will help attract newer airlines to operate from Mangaluru and make its air fares cheaper,” suggested Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industries president, Isaac Vas.

Jet Airways' closure, Kannur airport dent Mangaluru air traffic

In January, the Kerala government cut sales tax on aviation turbine fuel (ATF) sold at Kannur airport to 1% for a 10-year period.

This made the greenfield airport attractive for airlines as ATF sold at Mangalore airport attracts a levy of 28%. “New airlines are not showing much enthusiasm to launch from Mangalore,” said an AAI official, unwilling to be identified.

There has been a 23% drop in passengers in April-November this year, AAI officials said. The passenger number dropped to 1.09 lakh in October this year compared to 1.27 lakh in the same month last year.

KCCI’s Vas added it was necessary to include Mangalore under the UDAN scheme, which, he said, was best suited for Mangalore airport for both domestic and international operations as large numbers of budget travelers use the airport.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು: ತುಳು ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಅಕಾಡೆಮಿಯು ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಅಂಗವಾಗಿ ಕರಾವಳಿಯ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಬಸ್ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ, ರೈಲು ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ, ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣಗಳ ಮುಖ್ಯದ್ವಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತುಳುನಾಡ ವೈಭವವನ್ನು ಅನಾ ವರಣಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಯೋಜನೆ ರೂಪಿಸಿದ್ದು, ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯನ್ನು ಬಿಂಬಿಸುವ ವಿಶೇಷ ಮಳಿಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ತೆರೆಯಲು ಮುಂದಾಗಿದೆ.

ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕನ್ನಡ, ಉಡುಪಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನ್ಯ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ವಿದೇಶಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿಗರು ಆಗಮಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಅವರಿಗೆ ಈ ನೆಲದ ಭಾಷೆ, ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ, ತಿಂಡಿ-ತಿನಿಸು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುವುದು ಈ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಉದ್ದೇಶ.

ವಿದೇಶಗಳಿಗೆ ನಾವು ಹೋದಾಗ ಅಲ್ಲಿನವರು ಅವರ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯನ್ನು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅದೇ ರೀತಿ ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬರುವ ವಿದೇಶಿಗರಿಗೆ ತುಳು ನಾಡಿನ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ಪರಿಚಯ ವಾಗಬೇಕು ಎಂಬ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ತುಳು ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಅಕಾಡೆಮಿಯು ಈ ವಿನೂತನ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಂದಾಗಿದೆ.

ಮಳಿಗೆಗಳ ವೈಶಿಷ್ಟ್ಯ
ಈ ಮಳಿಗೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತುಳುನಾಡ ಮುಟ್ಟಾಳೆ, ಕಂಬಳದ ಬೆತ್ತ, ಗೆರಟೆ ಸಹಿತ ಕರಕುಶಲ ವಸ್ತುಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ತುಳುನಾಡಿನ ಅಧ್ಯಯನದ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಗಳೂ ಇರಲಿವೆ. ತುಳು ಲಿಪಿಯನ್ನು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಮರದ ಕೀ-ಬಂಚ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ತುಳು ಲಿಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಸರು ಬರೆದುಕೊಡುವ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯವೂ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ.

ನೀರುದೋಸೆ, ಪತ್ರೊಡೆ
ನೀರುದೋಸೆ, ಬನ್ಸ್, ಪತ್ರೊಡೆ, ಗೋಳಿಬಜೆ ಸಹಿತ ತುಳುನಾಡಿನ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ತಿನಿಸುಗಳನ್ನು ಬಸ್, ರೈಲು ಮತ್ತು ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೊಂದಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಹೊಟೇಲ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಗುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಲು ಚಿಂತನೆ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ರೈತನ ಜತೆ ಸೆಲ್ಫಿ
ಬಸ್, ರೈಲು ಮತ್ತು ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸೆಲ್ಫಿà ಕಾರ್ನರ್ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ವಾಗಲಿದ್ದು ಪ್ರವಾಸಿಗರು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಸೆಲ್ಫಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ಕಿಸಬಹುದು. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ರೈತನನ್ನು ಹೋಲುವ ಸ್ಟಾ éಂಡ್ ಒಂದನ್ನು ಇಡಲಿದ್ದು, ತಲೆ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಖಾಲಿ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿಗರು, ಸಾರ್ವ ಜನಿಕರು ಮುಟ್ಟಾಳೆ ಧರಿಸಿ, ನೇಗಿಲು, ಕಂಬಳದ ಬೆತ್ತ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿಡಿದು ಸೆಲ್ಫಿà ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ಕಿಸಿ ಸಂಭ್ರಮಿಸಬಹುದು.

ತುಳುನಾಡ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ ಬೇರೆ ಭಾಗದ ಜನರಿಗೂ ತಿಳಿಯಬೇಕು. ಈ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಉಭಯ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಬಸ್, ರೈಲು ಮತ್ತು ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತುಳುನಾಡ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ಅನಾವರಣಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಅಕಾಡೆಮಿ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಿದೆ. ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಸದ್ಯದಲ್ಲೇ ರೂಪರೇಖೆ ಸಿದ್ಧ ಪಡಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು. ಉಪ ಚುನಾ ವಣೆ ಮುಗಿದ ಕೂಡಲೇ ಅಕಾಡೆಮಿ ಪದಾಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳ ಪದಗ್ರಹಣ ನಡೆಯ ಲಿದ್ದು, ಬಳಿಕ ತುಳುವನ್ನು ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ 8ನೇ ಪರಿಚ್ಛೇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿಸಲು ಬೇಕಾದ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆರಂಭಿಸ ಲಾಗುವುದು.

Mangaluru set for under-14 football tournament

As far as 'Sports Tourism' is concerned 'Pro Muaythai League', 'under-14 football tournament' etc are useful but what we need is more tournaments of surfing, ocean/undersea excursion/expedition or seaforest tourism and other extreme type. There is one type of adventure tourism called 'Storm Chasing Adventure Tours', Storm Chasing Expeditions & Vacations for those people who want to explore storms. How about exploring cyclonic sea with cyclone proof powerboats? - Impossible to sink, the thunder child defies stormy seas 2 3 4 (Anyway coastguard may be having this type of boat now). In olden days 'Pandavara Guhe' in Kadri was considered risky one to enter but now it is closed and no more adventure is encouraged there. As we discussed earlier water surangas are also good for adventurous ones. Suitable adaptation of modern technology may reduce risk in these cases if the administration wants to exploit them for tourism. I had also posted earlier about possibilty of exploiting some of caves for Yoga, Rejuvenation & Meditation tourism.

M’lore as icecream capital of India: MLA Vedavyas’s out-of-box approach to promote tourism

In a Facebook post, Kamath said, “Tourism can happen with anything, I strongly feel for Mangalore, Icecream is one of them. Calling Mangalore Icecream Capital of India is totally right. Namma Kudla is the Icecream City.”



The idea seems to have struck a chord with Mangulerans and the post has gone viral on social media. It’s a known fact that anyone coming to Mangaluru wants to taste a few of the ice creams – Dilkush, Gadbad, etc – on offer at the parlors here and the idea of promoting tourism in Mangaluru to experience its rich culture, tradition, food has been lauded by the netizens.

Whether any of icecream has GI tag?

One of the Tulunadu item must have GI tag is Korirotti. Integrated Korirotti manufacturing & restaurant is useful to attract tourists. I am going to list Korirotti based fusion foods in my blog berake attilu.

A demand for a ‘Rangayana’ was also made during the occasion.

Addressing the gathering, K. Chinnappa Gowda, scholar and former Vice-Chancellor of Karnataka Folklore University, urged the district administration to reveal how much funds have been made available now to build the ‘ranga mandira’.

He said that it should be built in such a way that it should be suitable to hold all kinds of theatre activities. The building should have infrastructure facilities to conduct training and have an archive. It should be a model building.

Artistes, academicians step up demand for ‘ranga mandira’ in city

Lauding the state government for sanctioning an additional amount of Rs 7 crore for Ranga Mandira, he said Ranga Mandira should not become a ‘government office’. “It should have space for exhibiting art, training and demonstrations of various art forms. All instruments for theatre should be made available at the Ranga Mandira. It should be a full-fledged theatre," he (Janapada University former vice chancellor Dr K Chinnappa Gowda) added.

Theatre artiste Kasargod Chinna said, “As BJP is ruling in the state and at the Centre and Mangaluru City Corporation council, there will be no problem in allocating funds for the construction of Ranga Mandira. The government should be urged to sanction a Rangayana for Mangaluru.”

Whether there is enough space available nearby for national-level theatre training institute which should be a part of Rangayana?

ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳಲು ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪತ್ರ - ಬೋರ್ಡಿಂಗ್ ಪಾಸ್ ಸೆಂಟರ್ ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಗೆ ನಿರಾಸಕ್ತಿ 2

ಮಹಾನಗರ: ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳಲು ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪತ್ರ ನೀಡುವ ಬೋರ್ಡಿಂಗ್ ಪಾಸ್ ಸೆಂಟರ್ (ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪತ್ರ ಕೇಂದ್ರ) ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಹಲವಾರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಈಡೇರಿಲ್ಲ. ಪರಿಣಾಮ, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಸಹಿತ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನತೆ ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಸಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಕೇರಳದ ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಯನ್ನೇ ಈಗಲೂ ಅವಲಂಬಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ.

ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪ ನಿರ್ಬಂಧಿತ ಪ್ರದೇಶವಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಹೊರಗಿನ ಪ್ರದೇಶದವರಿಗೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಲು ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಅನುಮತಿ ಪತ್ರ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ. ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪ ಸೆಕ್ರಟರಿಯೇಟ್ನ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪರವಾನಿಗೆ ನೀಡುವ ಕೇಂದ್ರವಿದೆ. ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನತೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಈ ಪರವಾನಿಗೆ ಪಡೆಯಲು ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಯ ಕಚೇರಿಯನ್ನು ಸಂಪರ್ಕಿಸಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಶತಮಾನಗಳಿಂದ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯವೂ ಸಹಿತ ನಿಕಟ ಸಂಬಂಧವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿರುವ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪರವಾನಿಗೆ ನೀಡುವ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನಗೊಳ್ಳದಿರುವುದು ವಿಪರ್ಯಾಸ.

ಹಳೆ ಬಂದರಿನಿಂದ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರ ನೌಕೆ

ನಗರದ ಹಳೆ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಬಂದರಿಗೆ ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪದಿಂದ ತಿಂಗಳಿಗೆ ಕನಿಷ್ಠ 4 ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರ ನೌಕೆಗಳು ಆಗಮಿಸುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಲಕ್ಷದ್ವೀಪಕ್ಕೆ ಕಟ್ಟಡ ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳು, ಸಂಬಾರು ಪದಾರ್ಥ ತುಂಬಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವ ಸರಕು ನೌಕೆಗಳು ಸಂಚರಿಸುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಈ ನೌಕೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಿಂದ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರು ತೆರಳಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪತ್ರ ಹೊಂದುವುದು ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ.

Kambala organisers plan a museum for the traditional sport

Apart from imparting knowledge about Kambala to young enthusiasts, the museum will also collect and display the materials such as wooden plough and other implements used in the sport.

Asked why Moodbidri is chosen as the location to establish a museum, he said the Government has earmarked Kadalakere area in Moodbidri for conducting Kambala.

In fact, Kadalakere is one of the two locations in coastal Karnataka to have a stadium exlusively for the sport. The other stadium is located at Miyar in Karkala taluk of Udupi district. Apart from a museum, plans are also there to set up a research centre on Kambala in that location.

He said a training academy has been working under his guidance since 2011. Nearly 90 per cent of the present-day Kambala jockeys are from this academy.

The intake in this academy is 25 members. However, nearly 150 members appeared for the interview last year, he said. Some people with postgraduate degrees also appear for the interviews. One of the top jockeys this year is an MA in Economics, he said.

Apart from jockeys, the academy also trains the candidates in other aspects of rearing buffaloes, and other activities related to Kambala.

Pilikula veterinary hospital to get a facelift

More advanced equipment, and two extra quarantine units to be set up

The veterinary hospital at the Pilikula Biological Park will get a facelift with more advanced equipment, and two extra quarantine units.

In addition, striped hyena, an endangered animal, and the exotic black swan will be the added attractions as the park is set to get more birds and animals within a fortnight from Mysuru and Thiruvananthapuram zoos, under exchange programmes.

According to H. Jayaprakash Bhandary, director of the park, the hospital will get a microscope, a hematology cell counter, an anaesthesia machine, a serum biochemistry analyser, a centrifuge, darting accessories, cart grabbers, operation theatre lights and CR systems (upgrading x-ray equipment), and protection gloves. The operation theatre table will be upgraded as a high-tech one and the theatre will be air-conditioned.

The hospital needed additional equipment and facilities as the park had more than 1,200 animals. Animal healthcare has assumed significance with many animals breeding in the park, Mr. Bhandary told The Hindu .

The hospital building complex is being expanded now to accommodate the equipment and related laboratory and other facilities.

It has now in-patient, out-patient, postmortem, quarantine units, and food rooms.

ASI says metal barricade around Sulthan Bathery should go

Sulthan Bathery, said to have been built on the banks of the Phalguni by Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan in 1784, is one among the two Centrally-protected ancient monuments in Mangaluru; the other being the Mangaladevi Temple. Besides acting as a post to keep watch on those entering the region through the Arabian Sea, the bathery also served as an arms and ammunition depot.

Yashaswi Fish Meal And Oil Company set up Rs.73.04 crore unit at SEZ for export of frozen Surimi

Mangalore SEZ Ltd: 13th Annual Report

MSEZL is in active discussions with some of the prominent Indian and global investors for marketing the balance land, including the following:-

a. M/s Glen pharma has shown keen interest to take around 30 acres of land to set up their production facility in the Zone. The due diligence has since been completed and Glen pharma has indicated that they would require more time to close the deal.

b. Universal Group, Surat for setting up of dyes and related equipment unit in around 10 Acres.

c. Vikram Solar, Kolkata for manufacturing of Solar panels in around 50 Acres.

d. Chint Group, China for electronics and electrical manufacturing and exports in around 50 Acres.

e. LM Wind Power, Gujarat for manufacture of blades for wind mills/turbines in around 100 Acres.

f. Waterworks Technologies, Dubai for establishing their unit in around 5 Acres.

g. Sudarshan Chemical industries Ltd, Pune for chemical manufacturing in around 25 Acres.

International client deals:

a. The company is in discussions with M/s AT & S for leasing out about 50 acres of land inside SEZ. They have carried out site visits and they have indicated that they may further approach after 2 to 3 months.

b. An Australian Company had enquired about the land and Port facilities available for setting up their organic fertilizer unit in the Zone.

Since MSEZ turned Multi Product, efforts are being directed towards the targeted sectors suitable for investments in SEZ. These sectors include the Chip manufacturer, Tankage industries, Cold Storage, Mass Housing, Food Processing Industries along with petrochemical, pharma and other allied industries.

Wow, MSEZ in discussion with a Chip Manufacturer! AT&S? Good lucks! Wonder whether organic fertilizer is biofertilizer 2 3 or seaweed fertilizer or coconut shell biochar. Are they for export only?

Authentic Ocean Treasure, Ulka Seafoods, Yashaswi Fish Meal & Oil Company 2, Gadre Marine. Except Ulka other three marine food processing companies have already commenced their operation in MSEZ.

Ex-serviceman’s variety crops give good yield

Matthew T G, 68, served in the Army’s signals wing. He has taken up agriculture on a 10-acre land, which was allotted to him by the government after retirement. He grows maize, millet, tur dal, groundnut and corn. Apart from it, his garden has a variety of fruits, rubber, coconut and areca. He is supported by his wife Philomena, a retired teacher.

In the 10-acre land, he has used every inch of land without wasting any space. He has cultivated sona masoori rice in half acre. The rest of the land has 2,500 rubber plants, 100 coconut trees, 500 areca trees, 30 nutmeg trees, 500 agarwood, black pepper, lemon, apple, pomegranate, sweet lime, pistachio, medicinal plants and many others.

“The interest to grow north Karnataka crops was triggered by a couple from Bagalkot district, who worked with me for a long time. As a result, I started to experiment with groundnut, millet, corn, tur dal and maize. I used only organic manure to grow. The result was positive and I was successful in getting good yield,” said Matthew, who after retirement worked as a teacher in government colleges in Panja and Kadaba. “I grow everything that is required for my house. I buy only onion and garlic from outside,” said Matthew.

That means farmers have started growing siridhanya in Tulunadu. As I posted earlier let us also wait for foxnut (makhana, puffed lotus seed), heart of palm, moth (boldu padengi, madke kalu), stevia/maple/agave growers.

Puttur farmer produces over 2000 winter seedlings

For plastic-free farming we have to get rid of plastic seedling/plug/pro trays. I think it is possible to come up with leaf cups & trays for example many gunda/kottiges used as cups kept on arecanut leaf trays - disadvantage is high labour cost and one use. The alternatives available are paperchain pots/trays 2 3 4, paper seed trays 2 but they are not 100% plastic-free since they use plastic trays. Another alternative may be soil block makers 2 3 4 5 if used without plastic trays. There is enough scope for automation of soil block making, watering (for example, capillary hydroponic method & IOT watering) & then planting 1 2 and also greenhouse/coolinghouse automation. To make all these 100% plastic-free we may have to come up with earthen trays or wood trays or make use of metal trays.

Dakshina Kannada Milk Union to launch cold coffee

He (Raviraj Hegde, president of the Milk Producers’ Union) said Nandini Cold Coffee, which is prepared from sterilised homogenised milk, will have a shelf-life of 180 days. A 200 ml CPP (cast polypropylene) bottle of cold coffee will be priced at ₹25.

The Milk Producers’ Union will also launch ‘Nandini Kashaya’ in 200 ml CPP bottles on that day. (Nandini Kashaya is a concoction of coriander, jeera, turmeric, dry ginger, black pepper, and jaggery in sterilised homogenised milk.) Each bottle of Nandini Kashaya will cost ₹20.

He said value-added products such as Nandini Cold Coffee and Nandini Kashaya will provide an opportunity to improve the business of the cooperatives.

The union had introduced five flavoured milk products in CPP bottles in 2018. Those products are doing well in the market, he said.

Does DKMUL have plan for fortified dairy products? 1, 2. I am not sure whether DKMUL has products like khoya/khoa/mawa or malai.

CAMPCO releases spicy toffee in the market

Speaking during its launch, M. Suresh Bhandary, Managing Director of the cooperative said the new product has been prepared from sugar-based syrups and natural black pepper powder and ginger extracts.

The cooperative has now produced 12 tonnes of spicy toffee. Its production will be increased depending on market demand, he said.

Mr. Bhandary said in olden days, some people traditionally made the toffee using black pepper, ginger and jaggery at homes. The CAMPCO has borrowed the same concept in making its new product using sugar-based syrups.

At the same time, it is doing research and development on replacing sugar-based syrups with jaggery for mass production of its spicy toffee.

The R&D is expected to be over in another three months. Once the jaggery-based formula is ready, the cooperative will use the same to have the traditional flavour.

Campco launches ‘Spice Toffee’ with ginger, pepper

“The toffee is a first-of-its-kind product in the organised sector. The natural products are used in the manufacture of the toffee and not artificial flavours. The ginger extracts, pepper powder and glucose in ‘Spice Toffee’ are beneficial for body balance and relief from tiredness. Also, it acts as a body-cooling agent and a mouth freshener. It decreases thirst when consumed,” Bhandary explained.

Why not use coconut sugar/jaggery? Cost factor?

A film-tech start-up looks at bridging supply chain gap for new talents

AJ Vinayak Mangaluru | Updated on November 26, 2019 Published on November 26, 2019

Platform offers actors, technicians, producers and directors a full ecosystem

After fin-tech and edu-tech start-ups, now it is time for film-tech start-ups.

Coastal Breeze Productions Pvt Ltd, a start-up with four promoters from coastal Karnataka, is planning a technology-based movie-making platform for new talent entering the industry.

Murali Sarali, Founder and Promoter of Coastal Breeze, told BusinessLine that the start-up is in the process of creating a cognitive platform for entertainment and creative industry. The idea is to provide a platform to connect new talent with the other stakeholders in the industry supply chain.

The platform, ‘1ME’, is a single unified platform for media and entertainment sector, he said.

Sheshadri Udupa, another Founder and Promoter of Coastal Breeze, said that though there are many new talent, all of them do not get an opportunity.

“We thought of setting up a movie-making supply chain with ecosystem connectivity. It is a kind of a platform where the actors, technicians, producers, and directors can find the entire supply chain ecosystem,” he said.

Murali Sarali said that ‘1ME’ wants to create a seamless experience for new talents, investors, movie-makers and viewers. It will not only help bring structured approach to entire creative work such as movie making, but also give complete visibility across the process.

“We are piloting the platform and working with a few beta customers,” he said, adding that the platform has process and features to plan, prepare and execute pre-production and post-production works, and marketing and promotion activities.

Coastal Breeze’s platform will use machine learning technology to help make data-driven predictions, especially to optimise movie-making supply chain, marketing campaigns, and box office predictions. Murali Sarali said it will help transform creative industry business into more of data-driven prescriptive investment for investors and stakeholders.

Kannada movie

As part of its strategy, this film-tech start-up has now come out with a product in the form of a Kannada movie. Murali Sarali said that the recent developments in Kannada film industry is encouraging new talents. Many content-oriented movies have made a mark in the last one decade, as the audience supports such movies.

Added to this, many major names are coming forward to work with new talent in movie making, as new ideas are coming from that segment.

These factors encouraged the founders to seed the idea of ‘1ME’, and plan the Kannada movie Mundina Nildana (the next stop) project.

With Radhika Narayan (who played lead roles in hit Kannada movies such as U-Turn and Rangitaranga) and Dattanna (who played the role of an aged scientist in Akshay Kumar’s Mission Mangal) in the main roles, the movie is directed by Vinay Bharadwaj, a former investment banker from Singapore. The movie has seven songs composed by seven different music directors across the country.

Terming Mundina Nildana as a good experience, Sheshadri Udupa said: “We will document it. This repeatable model could be used not only for our production house but for others also.”

(Both Murali Sarali and Sheshadri Udupa have their own technology start-ups also. Suresh Kumar, a Mangaluru-based pulmonologist, and the Gulf-based NRI Taranath Rai are the other promoters of the film-tech start-up.)

The start-up is planning to raise seed funding by February, and is in discussion with a few investors in this regard, Murali Sarali added.

KCCI urges Dr. C. N. Ashwathnarayan, Dy. CM & IT Minister to Establish a IT Park in City

Mangaluru : Kanara Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) wishes to inform you about the representation sent to Dr. C. N. Ashwathnarayan, Dy. CM & IT Minister on the proposal of establishing an IT Park in Mangaluru. With this representation, KCCI wishes to impress upon the Hon. Minister to take up this cause for building an IT Ecosystem in Mangaluru Region.

Following is the letter sent to the Minister:

To,

Dr. C. N. Ashwathnarayan Honorable Deputy Chief Minister & Minister of Higher Education & IT & BT, S&T, Government of Karnataka Bengaluru.

Respected Sir,

Sub: Establishing an Information Technology (IT) Park at Mangaluru, Dakshina Kannada.

Greetings from Kanara Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI), Mangaluru – a District level Chamber engaged in promoting Trade, Commerce, Industry for the general welfare of the people in the erstwhile Dakshina Kannada District for the past eight decades. KCCI has always been proactive in taking initiatives for the economic and social developments of D.K. The New Mangalore Port, Airport, National Highways, Railways, MRPL and MSEZ, CEOL are examples of the same. Present status of Mangaluru which calls for immediate establishment of an IT Park:

1. A tier-2 city with a huge pool of IT and ITES talent, but very few job opportunities:

Although Mangaluru is a Tier 2 City, a large ready pool of IT & ITES talent is available here. Mangaluru – Udupi (Manipal) region is known as the Education Hub of Karnataka State. There are more than 20 Engineering Colleges and 100+ Non Engineering Colleges with thousands of students graduating every year. These are highly committed resources, with high productivity, less commuting time, etc. However there is a lack of job opportunities for these graduates in Mangaluru. Even among the lateral skilled employees, many prefer to work from Bengaluru as there are no employment opportunities for their spouse or even for themselves in future. This lack of IT ecosystem puts additional pressure on Bengaluru for which the government is already contemplating decongestion as part of the proposed new IT policy of 2019.

2: The Centre for Entrepreneurship Opportunities and Learning (CEOL) and STPI Incubation Centres are churning out incubated Software enterprises:

KCCI has worked with the Government to promote a Centre for Entrepreneurship Opportunities and Learning (CEOL) in Mangaluru under the guidance and support of the Finance Minister Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman. CEOL Incubation Centre is now functioning close to capacity. Companies incubated 18 months ago have to plan to move out as they grow but are unable to find suitable commercial space at reasonable cost. Apart from this, the Software Technology Park of India (STPI) is also fully occupied and the IT enterprises that are located here have to vacate after their mandatory time, to give place for fresh entities.

3. Established IT companies operating in Mangaluru in need of Bridge Space to Develop :

Currently, there are more than 150+ IT companies operating out of Mangaluru like Infosys, Cognizant along with some successful homegrown companies like Robosoft, Diya Systems, Semnox etc. There are also many companies with 5-30 employees. However, there are not many commercial spaces in and around the city of Mangaluru available at reasonable cost for these companies. These companies either have to migrate to Bengaluru to grow or they need to be housed in suitable working spaces that will enable them to go into fast track growth.

Establishing an IT Park within Mangaluru – a solution to change the status:

From the above it is clear that there is a need to build an IT Park with affordable rentals where many of these companies can operate and expand and have enough space for their natural growth in the city. This IT Park would also help larger IT and ITES to set up their Units in Mangalore. This effort will ensure that our talent pool will be retained and employed here. Moreover the pressure on Bengaluru will be significantly reduced. This IT park in Mangaluru can be a shared working space for multiple IT & ITES companies at one place including adequate Executive as well as leisure infrastructure for the IT employees.

3.25 Acres Readily available Land earmarked for the purpose:

It is heartening to note that there is a readily available land to the extent of 3.25 Acres of Land earmarked by KEONICS for IT Park at Blueberry Hills, Kuntikana, Derebail within the city corporation limits of Mangaluru. Moreover, the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI), Mangaluru is adjacent to the proposed site. KCCI would like to work with the Government to take this infrastructure initiative forward. It is suggested that the IT Park may be built in 2 Phases of around 1 lakh sq.ft. each with suitable infrastructure to support varied kind, size and type of companies. Common infrastructure like food courts, parking, conference rooms, classrooms, guest lounges, few guest rooms and can also include a small plug and play facility to support startups.

All these facilities can have support centers of the Karnataka State IT department and Start up cell. NASSCOM, CII, TIE, mentoring systems/networks etc. Larger IT companies can be convinced to move part of their BPO Operations from Tier 1 cities to Mangaluru, thus reducing the cost for those companies which will also have the advantage of retention of their human resources for a longer period. This mix of Large, Medium and Small IT & ITES companies within an IT Park will provide the necessary thrust in creating the IT ecosystem in Mangaluru to flourish.

We hope you will take up the above mentioned issue in right earnest and it will be completed in your kind hands.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully, Isaac Vas, President, KCCI

On one hand the argument is that Mangaluru is economical compared to tier-I cities. On the other hand there is also an argument is Mangaluru is not economical because there is no government sponsored IT Park.

What is needed badly is a Knowledge Infrastructure Policy favouring tier-II cities so that startups can flourish in these cities also.

Support IT ecosystem development in Mangaluru-Udupi-Manipal region: KCCI

Our Bureau Mangaluru | Updated on November 28, 2019 Published on November 28, 2019

Stating that Mangaluru-Udupi-Manipal region has a huge pool of talent, KCCI President said only a few job opportunities are there in this region

The Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has urged the Karnataka government to establish an IT (information technology) park in Mangaluru to help develop an IT ecosystem in Mangaluru-Udupi-Manipal region.

In a letter to the Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for IT and BT, KCCI said that a mix of large, medium and small IT and IT-enabled services (ITES)companies within an IT park will provide the necessary thrust in creating an IT ecosystem to flourish in Mangaluru.

Isaac Vas, President of KCCI, said that there are more than 150 IT companies operating in the region.

However, not many commercial spaces are available at reasonable cost for these companies in and around Mangaluru. These companies either have to migrate to Bengaluru to grow or they need to be housed in suitable working spaces that will enable them to go into fast-track growth mode.

He said that there is a need to build an IT park with affordable rentals where many of these companies can operate, expand and have enough space for their growth in the city. This IT park would also help larger IT and ITES to set up their units in Mangaluru.

He said this effort will ensure that the talent pool from the region will be retained and employed in the region. Moreover the pressure on Bengaluru will be significantly reduced.

He said the proposed IT park can be a shared working space for multiple IT and ITES companies at one place.

Stating that KEONICS has already identified a 3.25-acre land for IT park in Mangaluru, he said KCCI would like to work with the Government to take this infrastructure initiative forward.

KCCI suggested that the IT park be built in two phases of around 1 lakh sq ft each with suitable infrastructure to support varied kind, size and type of companies.

Larger IT companies can be convinced to move part of their BPO operations from tier-1 cities to Mangaluru. Such a move could help reduce the cost for those companies that will also have the advantage of retention of their human resources for a longer period.

“This mix of large, medium and small IT and ITES companies within an IT park will provide the necessary thrust in creating the IT ecosystem to flourish in Mangaluru,” he said.

Stating that Mangaluru-Udupi-Manipal region has a huge pool of talent, he said only a few job opportunities are there in this region.

Mangaluru-Udupi-Manipal region has more than 20 engineering colleges and 100-plus non-engineering colleges with thousands of students graduating every year. These are highly committed resources with high productivity, less commuting time, etc.

He said KCCI has worked with the Government to promote a Centre for Entrepreneurship Opportunities and Learning (CEOL) in Mangaluru under the guidance and support of the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The incubation centre of CEOL is now functioning close to capacity, he added.

Why not the state government increase the rent of IT Park space in the parched city and earn some money? They have to exploit the ecosystem in the parched city to make money for using for flood relief works in North Karnataka. Otherwise it would be an useless ecosystem.

KCCI bats for creation of IT park in Mangaluru

The Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has urged Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwath Nanarayan, who is in charge of the IT and BT Department, to help establish an IT park in Mangaluru, which has an abundant pool of talent.

In a recent letter to Dr. Narayan, KCCI president Issac Vas said that though Mangaluru, a Tier II city, has a huge IT and ITES talent pool, it lacks adequate job opportunities. The region has over 20 engineering colleges and over 100 non-engineering colleges with thousands of students graduating every year. They are highly committed resources with high productivity, he said.

Mr. Vas noted that even among employees with lateral skills, many prefer to work in Bengaluru as there are no job opportunities in the region. This lack of an IT ecosystem in Mangaluru puts additional pressure on Bengaluru, which the government intends to decongest through the new IT policy. He noted that the Centre for Entrepreneurship Opportunities and Learning, a KCCI initiative supported by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, was functioning close to its capacity. Companies incubated for 18 months have to move out, but no commercial space is available outside.

Apart from this, the Software Technology Park of India (STPI) is also fully occupied and the IT enterprises located there have to vacate after their mandatory time, to give space for fresh entities. Even the existing 150-odd IT companies in Mangaluru are facing space crunch and may be forced to migrate to Bengaluru to grow, he said.

All this indicates a dire need for an IT park in Mangaluru with affordable rentals. The park could also help larger IT and ITES to open shop in Mangaluru and use local technical talent, he said. Mr. Vas said a 3.25-acre plot was available at Bluberry Hills, Kuntikana, earmarked by KEONICS for an IT park. The STPI is adjacent to this plot. An IT park may be built at this place in two phases, he suggested.

Flanders trade commission ready for expertise exchange with Karnataka

The Trade Commission of Flanders, Belgium, is ready to facilitate exchange of expertise in solid waste management, innovative packaging and healthcare equipment that the coastal region could benefit from, said Flanders Trade and Investment Commissioner Jayanth Nadiger on Monday.

Interacting with the media during a Confederation of Indian Industry-promoted tour of the region to meet stakeholders here, Mr. Nadiger said the commission would also extend expertise in the manufacturing sector, including 3D printing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, if there is a critical mass for it. The commission can play a proactive role in providing access to potential exporters, especially smaller companies, to the European market through the Flanders region.

Mr. Nadiger said the commission would carry out GAP analysis in terms of products, technology and services and work all channels that may help trade both in Flanders and in the Karnataka coast.

Stating that the Flanders region was a hub for cutting-edge manufacturing, textiles and food processing, the trade commissioner said Mangaluru could also benefit from its expertise in solid waste management. “We have VITO, a research organisation that has technology which enables cities to tackle this issue,” he said. Expertise in manufacturing capital equipment could help the city, which is a medical hub of the region, to gain access to quality hospital equipment, he added.

Vermeiren Belgie NV, which has specialised in the area, has set up a manufacturing unit at Sri City near Chennai and is looking to meet the needs of hospitals in the area, he said. Mr. Nadiger said Flanders also has technology that could address India’s concerns and needs on single-use plastic.

Adopt drip irrigation to save water, says Horticulture Dept.

With water scarcity over the years becoming a cause of concern for farmers in Dakshina Kannada, the Department of Horticulture has advised them to opt for drip irrigation on a large scale to save water and also crops during summer.

The State government, which declared Bantwal and Mangaluru taluks as drought-hit in 2017, again declared the entire Dakshina Kannada as partially drought-hit this January. Uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater and deforestation have resulted in the groundwater level falling below 500 ft in some pockets of the district.

If existing water is judiciously made use of by adopting drip irrigation for arecanut, coconut, banana, cashew, pineapple and other horticultural crops, 40 % to 50 % of water can be saved, said Deputy Director, Department of Horticulture, Dakshina Kannada, H.R. Nayak.

Nutrients can also be fed to the crops through drip irrigation, he added.

If agriculturists adopted drip irrigation in farm land up to five acres, the government provides subsidy up to 90 % for such land holdings. As many small farmers fell under this category, the government subsidy helped them immensely, he said.

In case if drip irrigation was adopted for crops spread over five acres and up to 12.50 acres, the government will provide 45 % subsidy to such farmers.

Mr. Nayak said that there is a wrong perception among some farmers that the entire farm land, especially in arecanut plantations, should be made wet to irrigate palms or plants. It is not needed, if water enough is fed to the roots. If drip irrigation system is adopted, it also helped in controlling the growth of weeds in plantations.

The Deputy Director said that Dakshina Kannada had about 1,53,000 hectares under horticultural crops. Of this, about 94,000 hectares are under arecanut and about 27,000 hectares are under coconut.

Mr. Nayak said that the government gave preference to farmers belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes while sanctioning subsidy. The government-approved agencies will help farmers adopt drip irrigation.

If drip irrigation is adopted, it also helped farmers to expand the area of crops as water saved can be diverted to grow the same crops or others.

And, water could also be saved for drinking. Pressure controlled drip irrigation systems are now available, he said.

Khader laments lack of industrial investments in Ira industrial area

Former minister and MLA U T Khader, rued the fact that people are hesitating from investing in Ira industrial area even after some industrialists applied for land there, as some industries functioning there had closed down. He was addressing a press meet at Ullal on Monday December 9.

"The gross domestic product (GDP) of the country has slipped. Therefore, it may take some time for the industries to come up at Ira. In the past, heads of ten pharmaceutical companies had visited the area but had dithered from investing here, duly citing lack of proper road connectivity. Thereafter, a good road has been laid to the area. In the recent past, there are complaints that youngsters are using this road to have fun and engage in other activities by roaming around in their motorbikes. We therefore, propose to close the road by installing gates, and by posting watchmen," he explained.

Karnataka begins discussions on ‘knowledge and health corridor’

With the proposed ‘knowledge and health corridor’ between Manipal in Udupi district and Konaje in Mangaluru taluk, Karnataka wants to capitalise on the strength of the region, according to Charulata Somal, Managing Director of Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC).

At the inauguration of a workshop for stakeholders on the proposed ‘Manipal-Konaje Knowledge and Health Corridor’ in Mangaluru on Friday, she said that KUIDFC has been mandated by the State government to initiate the development of the corridor.

She said the Manipal-Konaje region has a competitive advantage in knowledge and healthcare sectors. “We are capitalising on the strength of this region, and today’s event is one of the first exercises,” Somal said, adding that till now only matters related to industrial corridors were discussed.

She said the proposed ‘knowledge and health corridor’ will endeavour to achieve a conducive and enabling ecosystem for development and functioning of world-class academic and research institutions, manufacturing units and healthcare service providers.

It aims to facilitate investments from public and private sectors, including creation of physical and support infrastructure facilities, coupled with policy interventions.

The idea is to have a vision exercise where the matters related to knowledge, wellness, healthcare, tourism and education will be identified to be taken to the next level. The visioning exercise is likely to take around six months. The government can be approached on the aspirations of the region once the visioning exercise is done, she added.

MSEZ stares down barrel with steep hike in water tariff

a recent move by the state government to hike water tariff for industrial use 100 times has come as a body blow to MSEZ. Tariff that was Rs 1,800/mcft was hiked to Rs 1.5-lakh/mcft and after protestations pared to Rs 1lakh/mcft.

एत्तिगॆ ज्वर बंदरॆ एम्मॆगॆ बरॆ हाकिदरंतॆ! Whether they hiked tariff across the state due to water scarcity in 'the parched city'? If so why don't the state have different rates in different districts as per water availability? That should help industries to move to regions with excess water. Current policy seems to be - if there is no water in 'the parched city' then don't allow industrialization of rest of Karnataka! Any way environmentalists are not worried about closing down of those chemical industries in Mangaluru including MRPL.

CII opens Mangaluru Chapter; will set up 6 panels to boost growth

Region is the second-largest contributor to Karnataka's GDP, says CII-Karnataka Chairman Aman Choudhari

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has set up a chapter in Mangaluru.

Speaking at the launch of the Mangaluru chapter on Monday, K Prakash Rao, Chairman of the Mangaluru chapter, said CII is looking to set up six panels to drive growth in the region.

Terming Mangaluru as a manufacturing centre, he said the first panel would be on ‘manufacturing excellence and MSMEs’. The region should get new technologies, and CII would promote this for industries in and around Mangaluru, he said.

Other panels include ‘finance and taxation’, ‘industry-academia interaction’, ‘IT and start-ups’, ‘tourism’, and ‘infrastructure and connectivity’.

Stating that there are major issues on infrastructure and connectivity in the region, he said CII would take these issues up with the State and Central governments.

He said New Mangalore Port is an all-weather and better port. “We want to get better rail connectivity. We want to see whether the government is re-interested in the tunnel project to Bengaluru along the Western Ghat section,” he said.

Stating that land banks are the major concern for new industries coming in Mangaluru, Rao said some non-productive land such as the one earmarked for the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee in New Mangalore should be put into productive purposes such as setting up of a food processing park.

CII will support government initiatives of making coastal districts knowledge and wellness corridors as they are known for their health and education facilities, he said.

The Mangaluru chapter has 29 members as of now. Rao said CII is planning to take this up to 100 soon.

Aman Choudhari, Chairman of CII-Karnataka, said it was nice to launch the Mangaluru chapter in the 125th year of CII. Mangaluru, which is the second-largest contributor to GDP of Karnataka, has great potential, he said, adding that the full potential of the region is yet to be tapped.

‘Save Karavali Ground’ Group Opposes Ground Space Extension for ‘Karavali Utsav Exhibition 2019’

Mangaluru : In January 2019, a group named “Save Karavali Ground” had raised an objection when MCC had planned to build a Kabaddi Stadium at a cost of Rs 1.30 crore, on a portion of Karavali Exhibition ground, adjacent to Mangala Stadium, Lalbagh-Mangaluru.

Stage set for first phase of redevelopment of Mangala Stadium at a cost of Rs. 108 crore

As per the proposal, the cement gallery constructed on earth mound to the right of the main pavilion will be excavated and around 13,000sqft of office space, change rooms, store and gymnasium for athletes and other common facilities for spectators will be developed. The focus will be giving world class facilities for athletics that is the main sport at the stadium, he said, adding equal focus is also on catering to the needs of the community that uses it in equal measure.

While the actual capacity of the stadium is to seat 11,800 spectators, this has been pared down to 8,000 to accommodate parking for vehicles. “The 8,000 capacity is what one usually gets for district and state level athletics meets,” Pai surmised, adding provisions have also been made for a walking track around the entire length of the stadium. “The detailed project report has made out a case for redevelopment of around 50% of stadium space,” he noted.

Grow Tulsi to purify atmosphere, says Ramdev

Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev said, “Growing medicinal plants like Tulsi, Aloe vera and Amritaballi helps in purifying the surroundings. To ward off the polluted atmosphere in Delhi, one need to grow more of medicinal plants.”

Ramdev said, “People have to set aside more time for Yoga and pranayama on Sunday. There is a need to limit the quantity of food consumed. It is not right to give priority to sleeping and order food from outside on Sunday.”

He urged people to change their lifestyle. “One should consume food before 7 pm. There is a need to reduce the consumption of food made of rice and wheat and consume more of vegetables. One should drink at least three litres of water per day.”

Is there anyone in Tulunadu who tried to grow 'Tree Collard' 2 (brassica oleracea, variety acephala) or 'Tree Kale' 2 (brassica oleracea, variety sabellica) and 'Okinawan Spinach' 2 (any of edible gynura species including tera paibi)? If we can grow perennial plants like this then lot of reseeding/replanting works will be saved. One such perennial plant getting popular in Tulunadu now is chayamansa. Other than that we have old perennial stuffs like spinach, katuk etc.

Growing plants in plastic bottles


Excellent to have air purifier plants hanging like this near windows. If we can automate irrigation then even higher floor windows can have hanging plants. But don't use plastic bottles for growing edible plants. Usage of foodgrade plastic is fine. And also check that enough light & air is passing through hanging garden to inside the house naturally. So some kind of automated/mechanical arrangement may be needed to prune and replant.

Good thing is soontan demonstration (सूंटण् प्रात्यक्षिकॆ, search for tulu word suuntanu in tulu dictionary) have started in the city. Soontan is a kind of slash-and-char 2 biochar product. I don't know how much smoke it will produce. Time to come up with non-smoky/non-emissive 'biochar kilns' (wood charcoal kilns) 1 2 3 4 5 then activate or charge biochar 1 2 3 with organic fertilizer or to come up with non-smoky/non-emissive 'soontan kilns' and crush & activate resultant biochar. Dried coconut shells/husks are excellent source for biochar 2!

Biochar kilns along with better wet waste management - Ramakrishna Mission incubates start-up to handle city’s wet waste, Bulk waste generators have another solution - should help in managing all types of plant-based waste. However only field trials can conclusively tell the kind of result we get by using biochar - 1 2 3.

Best to have varieties yielding throughout year like niranjan, sadabahar, nam-dok-mai, amarapali, arka aruna, manjeera etc or develop our own like dwarf mundappa, appemidi etc.

Despite slowdown, housing sales see steady growth in tier-II cities
Affordable housing policy spurs home sales in small towns

“Many smaller cities in India are likely to see incremental development because of the kind of thrust that the government is giving on creating smart cities. But it is a long-term story. However, some of the smaller cities in the south like Mangalore and Kochi have seen significant changes in the last few years. More jobs and development will lead to offtake of residential housing in these cities," said a spokesperson with property developer Puravankara Ltd. The Bengaluru-based developer has ongoing affordable housing projects under the brand Provident in cities like Kochi, Coimbatore and Mangalore.
