State govt needs to wake up, none of the cities have grown except for Bangalore!

Karnataka, unfortunately, does not seem to have any such tier II boom cities. The state has now 26 cities with population of more than one lakh, but as per the census data not a single city has shown signs of emerging as a popular employment destination or economic hub.

Karnataka’s second largest city Hubli-Dharwad has added just 1.57 lakh to its population during the last decade. Bellary, with all its mining exports and related activities could witness a decadal growth rate of 22 per cent. The population of the city increased from 3.16 lakh in 2001 to 4.09 lakh in 2011.

Belgaum city, which was projected as the second capital of the State in the recent years, has witnessed a decline in its population by 18,000 in the last one decade.

Mangalore, which is considered as a commercial hub next only to Bangalore, has nothing to cheer when it comes to population growth. The port city’s population has come down from 5.38 lakh in 2001 to 4.84 lakh in 2011.

For the record, Bangalore is the only city in Karnataka with a population of more than 10 lakh (one million) and that of Hubli- Dharwad is 9.43 lakh. :ohno:

Its bcoz govt of Karnataka doesnt think beyond Bangalore........other parts of karnataka neglected especially northern karnataka..........
where as in other states stories are different.......they consentrate on other tier 2 cities also....i dont knw when our politicians will learn the lesson......dont put more pressure only on Bangalore............Bangalore is loosing its charm day by day.......and now they started to allocate funds to other cities that too Rs100 to Rs200 crores only to each corporations which is not sufficient

^^ proves my point!:)
Thousands of crores spent on B'lore but still lacks basic infrastructure!

^^ South Karnataka has always been given more priority than the North (may be because Bangalore, the capital, is in the south....:dunno: )
The government (any for that matter!) does not understand the consequences of such one-sided development...:ohno:

^^ proves my point!:)
Thousands of crores spent on B'lore but still lacks basic infrastructure!

Bcoz of over population.......its of no use if u spend without proper planning everything is going to waste......its only fill the pockets of politicians and contractors............instead of that spend Rs1000 crores in each tier 2 cities (Belgaum,Hubli-Dharwad,gulbarga Mangalore and Mysore) for infrastructure development........then c how these cities will develop in the way of Pune Coimbatore Vizag. if u have good infrastructure corporate companies wont hesitate to establish their business......if company's start to move to these cities it will create job oppurtunities and automatically people start to move to these cities

^^ I think everything is interconnected: population growth, poverty, illiteracy, lack of civic sense, corruption, lack of infra and so on...
Population control and quality education should be the first step for a prospering nation.

BANGALORE: After boasting about the success of the maiden Global Investors Meet 2010, the state government is on a mission to ensure the success of its second edition by setting up Tech parks in II tier and III tier cities ready for occupation.
The IT park in Shimoga and Gulbarga are nearing completion and awaiting inauguration, Principal Secretary, IT/BT and e-governance announced.
Stating that the Gulbarga IT Park office space auction was complete, he said that the park in Shimoga would soon go under the hammer. Adding to this, the government has commenced work on the 36 acre IT Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Shimoga, which is adjacent to the IT Park.
Developed at a cost of `250 crore, officials said that trunk infrastructure like power, water, roads, drains, entry/exit points would be developed by the Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation Limited.
The government has developed a park in Hubli across 3.2 acres and houses business giants such as TCS, IIIT and the SPTI among others. The project which has been functional for a few years now, was part of the gateway to Karnataka venture to ensure investment and development areas other than Bangalore.
The park is said to have a business incubator for start ups and is expecting more IT homes for lease and rent at a cost of `9 per sq ft. The IT companies would be provided with concessions as per the current IT policy.

I supported Bangalore centric development so as to have one pucca Growth engine of our state.I am proud that today Bangalore has emerged as a south Indian Commercial Hub.Bangalore is next only to Mumbai and Delhi.:cheers:

I have always cited Gujarat as an example, which has lost an opportunity to produce a mega Metro city, though the state is number one in many aspects.

We must be proud of Bangalore,yes on the other hand GOK has neglected T2 cities of KA.I think GOK has realized it and is doing its bit to give boost to infra in T2 cities.Let's wait and see

Namma T2 cities:

Belgaum (NWKA)
Hubli-Dharwad (NWKA)
Mangalore (SWKA)
Mysore (SKA)

Why u missed gulbarga.. It is also half million plus city like mysore. It is center of whole hyd ka region. Hope bidar railway line helps there..

Bangalore centric development is mostly for personal real estate gains of state govt politicians. No other prejudice. Even south ka cities are suffering as much as north. So no bias against nk

When Bangalore develops it helps others who are more than 70% in Bangalore.
But when other Karnataka cities develop it will help lot more kannadiga's.
I think only Kerala has no single city based model.

They are also helping Karnataka in a big way by paying taxes,like we buy hi end buses and enjoy volvo rides, neat bus stands etc in other parts of the state..Isn't it a win win situation?

BTW I heard KSRTC has introduced A/C service between the twin cities...:cheers: Can someone post a pic of that

They had brought in an old NWKRTC Meghdoot A/C an year ago for travelling between the cities. I don't think it got a good response coz the tickets were too costly (or may be bcoz the bus was too noisy)! I am a frequent traveller between the cities and I haven't seen them for sometime now..

Chetan did tell me that an A/C bus has been introduced :dunno: Then, right now only Mysore and Mangalore have Volvo buses among T2 cities.. H-D needs them, if not volvo atleast TATA Marcopolo's.TM's are Manufactured in Dharwad yet not put to use there :ohno:

I remember these politicians saying whatever bangaluru has Belgaum too will get it soon for the reason that it is being touted as the second capital city of KA.Though suvarna soudha is getting ready,I am yet to see Volvos in Belgaum.

Anyway,Vspdwd any more roads are getting concreted in Dharwad? KCD Road and Station road were the two which were taken up under CM's First 100 cr grants.Second 100 cr grants are being used to develop few more roads do you have any info on that?

Someone plzzzzz tell me if the proposed 4 lane road Connecting Airport and the bye pass is U/C?

blank talks....that's all!! Most old, so called disposed BMTC blue-white buses run inside Hubli-Dharwad:nuts:.. We got Suvarna buses last year...mostly because of the Kannada Sahitya Sammelana at Belgaum. And after that no news!!
Right now....Bendre bus zindabad!!!:lol:

No news about that....But there is a plan of developing all interior roads.
Most trees have been axed for 4-laning between Hubli and Dharwad. I dont know when the work will commence.

HDMC is concentrating mainly on tank development.
Bhairidevarakoppa and Rayapur tanks have already been developed...Other small tanks will be developed within 3-4 months i think.

^^I must admit H-D has done wonderful job in developing lakes and parks.I really liked kalegiri lake,Unkal lake,Sadhankeri lake and nrupatunga betta...Recently,they renovated the Glass house.

Mysore must really learn from H-D when it comes to improving social infra,our so called world class aquarium u/c in mysore is just left rusting for over a year with no progress at all..

Jagadish shettar should get volvos first before bringing hifi brts :bash: same route should be fine as volvo travels fast..

^^ Volvos will soon hit H-D roads,heard they are waiting for the 4 laning of Hubli-Dharwad to get completed.

Is this the road which is going to connect Airport and bye pass?

'soon' is 2-3 years far?!! :eek2: :gaah:

Still the work hasn't started, donno when they gonna start it...
I would like to mention a point here.., if all the forumers of ssc becomes politicians, then we can witness a good developments in the cities.. Lolzzz

Talking about transportation facilities,
H-D always lacked behind when compared to other cites of karnataka...
Volvo buses ko chodo yaar.., expect for few buses running between Hubli & Dharwad ( suvarna buses ) ., most of the city buses running in hubli are outdated BMTC ones.., the city needs buses like volvo and marcopolos..,
Mysore and bangalore have got good busstand, hubli lacks a good busstand..
Look at the pathetic condition of New central bus stand, Hubli

btw Happy Deepavali to all the SSC members!:)

'soon' is 2-3 years far?!!

Yes In Indian standards it is very Soon :soon:,you are considered lucky if it happens within 2 years

Still the work hasn't started, donno when they gonna start it...


If the work has not started then what is it that I am seeing on GE?

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1411/busjk.jpg

Hubli-Dharwad were the first tier two cities of KA to get new bus terminals apart from old terminals,while every other city just contended with One bus terminal.

Sadly the standard of KSRTC then was not that great,It was in the early 2000's that KSRTC started growing exponentially.Now KSRTC has the expertise to build fantastic terminals with great designs,Hubli-Dharwad got terminals way too early and missed it.

I am sure Jagadish shettar will do something good for the city in the coming days,having watched his works which seem satisfactory to me.

I am sorry to discuss Mangalore. There is a paradox here. Mangalore city population is 4.84 lakhs but it has 3.50 lakhs vehicles ,nearly 30% of them cars.That could be the highest density of vehicles in India but could not be right? 9.43 lakhs is the UA population of Hubli . So this figure of 4.84 lakh for Mangalore is wrong as the UA population of Mangalore is six lakhs plus.
Currently the Vehicle density is highest in Chandigarh?
could some one clarify?

I wanted to clarify this or is there anyone who could clarify it further.

For twilight pics you need to switch on the long exposure option, so as to ensure enough light passes through the camera lens.I guess you are learning Photography :okay: I just love taking pics wherever I go...

Hey Bro... Nothing paradox! :) just chill, be it mangalore, hubli , haveri, coorg, or any other place.. Its just that we all kannadiga's and very proud of our home towns, thats all :) I too know stats lie alot. The report is still an eye opener, Bangalore is not Karnataka, its a part and it has done wonders, so let us all work and bring our cities in competetion, so that all improve and our state improves and contribute to our country :)
In btw.. happy diwali to you & one and all on SSC :D

UA population of Mangalore is six lakhs plus.
Agree, its around 619000+

I wish someone does a census of Belgaum when new areas (7 of them) will be in city corp UA limits next year ;)

Currently the Vehicle density is highest in Chandigarh?
could some one clarify?

Yes you are right, Chandigarh has around 700,000 vehicles registered, its because, chandigarh is a capital of 3 states, haryana, punjab, and chandigarh itself being an union territory(state), A union territory is governed and adminstered by the central Govt directly, hence it escapes state taxes and has all including fuel (petrol & diesel) cheaper than the rest of India. Hence, people from Punjab and haryana buy vehicles from there, In karnataka example.. You find GA and MH passing vehicles flooded in Belgaum {traffic at its worst, uncontrollable} :) [here too people buy from Goa and Maharastra which is cheaper like chandigarh in taxes, so some towns of Goa would show high density of vehicles towards population, but infact its not there]
Belgaum has 3 lakh vehicles registered , MH and GA vehicles moving around not counted which are as equivalent or say even more! :)

Belgaum Airport police on Thursday arrested three people and recovered gold jewellery worth Rs 8 crores.

Similar incident took place this month where in 2 crores worth of jewellery was being flown from Belgaum to Mumbai and were caught..

People register vehicles from Puducherry to evade taxes

Stanley Pinto, TNN Aug 24, 2011, 10.56pm IST

MANGALORE: If you see a car with PY (Puducherry) registration running anywhere in the state, more often than not it is registered in the Union Territory to evade high taxes than anything else.

Consider this: while a Toyota Fortuner in the state costs approximately Rs 25.22 lakh on road, in Pondy it costs just Rs 21.5 lakh. The reason is that Pondicherry RTO charges a flat Rs 55,000 life time tax for vehicles above Rs 20 lakh as opposed to Rs 4.05 lakh in the state, which results in a net saving of Rs 3.5 lakh for the buyer.

For vehicles below Rs 20 lakh, the rate of tax is flat Rs 15,000 in Pondicherry. In the state, the life time taxation rate ranges from a 13% of the value of the vehicle (for vehicles below Rs 5 lakh) plus 11 per cent cess on the tax amount to 18% plus 11% cess on vehicles above Rs 20 lakh.

For vehicles below Rs 20 lakh, the rate of tax is flat Rs 15,000 in Pondicherry. In the state, the life time taxation rate ranges from a 13% of the value of the vehicle (for vehicles below Rs 5 lakh) plus 11 per cent cess on the tax amount to 18% plus 11% cess on vehicles above Rs 20 lakh.

Moreover, to register a vehicle in Pondicherry one need not have a permanent Pondy address. The Registration Book will feature both temporary and permanent address of the vehicle owner. When contacted a MUV dealer at Pondicherry, he was willing to give his residential address as proof as temporary address to this correspondent. But anywhere in the state, vehicles cannot be registered unless the person's residential address is in the city where the vehicle is to be registered.

But anywhere in the state, vehicles cannot be registered unless the person's residential address is in the city where the vehicle is to be registered.

The savings are huge on vehicles priced above Rs 50 lakh and above as per the taxation rate given above. There are over 100 Pondicherry registration vehicles running on Mangalore roads. There are touts and agents here who do the registration job at Pondicherry for high end vehicles for a fee, which ranges from 25% to 35%.

Is walmart and easy day market are the same ones....??
I heard that Walmart in association with Bharti airtel is launching hypermarkets in india....
Can someone clarify....??

I heard that Walmart in association with Bharti airtel is launching hypermarkets in india....

Easyday is started by Bharati which also has entered into understanding with walmart to source some items


Bharti Retail has introduced eight Walmart private labels, including two of its largest—‘Great Value’ and ‘George’—in its supermarket chain Easyday. This would mean these private labels can find way to other retail stores as well. Easyday stores have so far introduced eight Wal-Mart brands across categories. It has introduced Great Value line of food (flour, dry fruits, spices, cereal and tea). Great Value, a 16-year-old private label that was redesigned mid-summer in the US amid a recession to attract more consumers wanting to pay less, is Wal-Mart’s top-selling retail brand. Analysts estimate that Wal-Mart’s private-label products account for about 16 percent of its overall food sales. Another private clothing line, George, too is now in Easyday stores. George began as British supermarket ASDA’s own-brand clothing range, but later moved to Wal-Mart’s US and Canadian stores. Equate, a brand for pharmacy and health and beauty items, has been introduced only in the hand wash category as of now in Easyday stores. Other Wal-Mart private labels introduced in India include Home Trends (home furnishing), Mainstays (plastic containers, kitchen accessories), Kid Connection (toys, clothing), Faded Glory (footwear) and Athletic Works (athletic shoes, equipment). Bharti, which opened its first supermarket last year and has scaled up to 25 now, depends primarily on its equal joint venture with Wal-Mart for its supplies.

Heard a lot of Koppikar and Lamington road. Is Coen Road new? Name sounds typically British ,so I would assume it is an old Road.

Belgaumite shines..
Belgaum the (bread basket/rice bowl) land of basmati rice, sole vegetables provider to neighbouring districts, Bangalore, pune & entire Goa has a lot to offer, here we have an example:

Three women farmers were recently felicitated for their scientific approach and acumen.
Felicitated alongside 28 other “farmer scientists” from 18 States by the Centre for International Trade in Agriculture and Agro-based Industries (CITA) and the Department of Agriculture, Rajasthan. The Union Agriculture Minister and Rajasthan's Chief Minister were also present at the function held in Jaipur, where the women were honoured for their innovative practices and scientific research to enhance crop yields, improve seed varieties and scale up soil productivity.

Laxmi is from Karnataka's Belgaum district and lives on her 22-acre farm. With her team of eight, which includes three women, she grows organic vegetables and fruits. Her focus is more on sowing, planning marketing networks and utilisation of the by-products of vegetables. She also runs a dairy.

Laxmi gave up a flourishing bag manufacturing business in Mumbai to return to farming in her native village of Udikeri

She now plans to register a non-governmental organisation and has already decided on the name: Prerna (inspiration). Apt indeed, seeing how she has inspired at least 20 young people over the last nine years to give up business activities and take up agriculture.

Absolutely true . Bangalore ,Mysore Hubli topography is totally different. You can see the vast expanse of the city from any higher location. Mangalore is different. The city is now nearly 200 sq kms but you can never appreciate the size because it is full of ups and downs and hills within the city. That is one of the reasons construction costs in Mangalore are roughly about 25% higher than in other cities.The no of floors vary depending on fromm which side you are looking at the building...that is typically Kudla.

In Karnataka all cities are unique and have their charm.if you want to see coconut trees or eat Ideal icecreams come to Mangalore,good weather go to Mysore ,Hubli,Belgaum,Coorg,jwala Roti go to Hubli,Kori Roti,Kudla ,for posh pubs , go to Bangalore....the list is endless.For cosmopolitan living go to Bangalore and Mangalore.For retired life go to Mysore /Belgaum.

Nice pics Manjunath, really grt work man,

try to capture some still images.....

Forget mulki being added mangalore, anything more than 20km is out of reach. You talking 20km radius while bangalore dia is 20-30km max.. Even if all those added it wont cross 1 million, because it is not one million even if you add udupi to mangalore :lol:

But there are other cities too like,Hubli-Dharwad,Mangalore,Belgaum,Gulbarga,where there is high potential to improve infrastructure and these cities ,other than Blore n Mysore ,can be compared with other cities of India.

TN has Coiambatore,Trichy,Madurai. kerala has Cochin,Kozicode,Kannur. Maha has Pune which is already leading into a metro. So our cities should be compared with these cities.And the people of other states should talk about these cities:cheers:

Ktk legislature session from Dec 5

Bangalore,Oct28 (PTI) Karnataka government today decided to convene the legislature session from December five here. The government hitherto held the winter session in Belgaum. A meeting of the state cabinet here took a decision to this effect. The session will continue till December 16, Law Minister S Suresh Kumar told reporters. The cabinet decided not to revive the Legislature Committee, a demand made by Congress MLC, K C Kondaiah in the last session of the upper house and also confine itself to the existing legislation of holding legislature session for 60 days annually, Kumar said. Higher Education Minister and leader of the Upper House V S Acharya had promised opposition that their demand for a 100-day session would be placed before the cabinet for discussion in the last session, he said. The cabinet, which discussed it, resolved to adhere to the existing legislation of 60-day session, he added. During this year, the government has held legislature session for 22 days. The coming session will be of ten working days, which indicates that it would not be possible to touch the mark of 60-day session this year.

IT companies and trade bodies in Silicon Valley (California) in the US have urged the Karnataka Government to set up a liaison office at Santa Clara to facilitate smooth trade between two States.

Addressing presspersons at BangaloreIT.biz2011 promotional event, Mr M.N. Vidyashankar, Karnataka Principal Secretary, department of IT, BT and e-governance, said: “When the State Government delegation recently toured the US for promoting BangaloreIT, companies and trade bodies in the Silicon Valley told us that they were lobbying with US Government for a separate counsellor office in Bangalore.

“The elected mayor of Santa Clara also expressed keenness for establishing direct trade links with Bangalore and people in California are eagerly looking forward for a direct air link.”

Tier II & III Cities
Buoyed by success of filling up office space at IT Park-Gulbarga in a short time, Karnataka Government is planning to set up similar facilities in Belgaum and Bidar.

Mr Vidyashankar said: “IT investors meet organised by Keonics held in Gulbarga recently saw 55,000 sq.ft space absorption in two days. Looking at the appetite for IT space in north Karnataka, we are now planning to set up IT parks in Belgaum and Bidar.”

Four more Hubli-DharwadOne centres soon: Jagadish Shettar

Given the good response, the Government plans to set up four more Hubli-DharwadOne centres, two each at Hubli and Dharwad, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Jagadish Shettar has said.

The Minister inaugurated the eighth such centre at Barakotri near Uday Hostel here on Saturday..

It has been set up at a cost of Rs. 35 lakh. Apart from offering 13 different kinds of services, the Barakotri centre will also control and supervise transactions at the other Hubli-DharwadOne centres.

BRTS proposal put on hold

Citizens have to wait to realise the dream of having a Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) here.

Going by statements of Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Jagadish Shettar, it seems the proposal to construct a six-lane highway between Hubli and Dharwad while accommodating two lanes for the BRTS will not materialise in the near future.

Speaking to presspersons here on Saturday, Mr. Shettar, who is district in-charge, said the Government had decided to take up the four-laning work in the first phase, with the BRTS work being taken up in the second phase.

Defending the decision, he said the BRTS authorities had failed to get the required clearances, including from the Department of Finance. The six-laning required at least Rs. 600 crore just for land acquisition.

It would take longer to secure the approvals and lead to further delay. But, for the four-laning project, Rs. 170 crore was readily available.

Tree cutting work was nearly complete, and funds had been made available for removing water pipelines and telephone cables, he said.

They had made changes to the four-laning project so that the BRTS could be linked to it later, the Minister added.

North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation chairman Mallikarjun Savkar said the Government had allocated Rs. 25 crore for the corporation to buy around 800 new buses.

A new divisional office would be set up in Dharwad he said.

Package system for waste management soon

The system will cost the HDMC Rs. 19.55 crore annually

Hubli-Dharwad Mayor Poorna Patil has authorised the Municipal Commissioner to introduce the package system for solid waste management, as per guidelines issued by the Directorate of Municipal Administration.

Heated discussion

The Mayor passed the ruling on Saturday after heated discussion at the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation council meeting, with the Opposition taking a stand against the move. The former Leader of the Opposition in the council Ganesh Tagargunti opposed the new system claiming that it was “anti-Dalit”, as it would leave daily wage labourers without jobs. The labourers now work for those who have been contracted to clean 47 of the 67 wards in the city.

The other 20 wards are cleaned by pourakarmikas.

Mr. Tagargunti suggested that instead of making it one cleaning package for each of the 12 zones, contracts could be awarded by clubbing two wards and allowing daily wage workers to continue. While some members of the Opposition concurred with Mr. Tagargunti, ruling party members supported the move to create zone-wise packages.

Guidelines

Replying to their concerns, Commissioner K.V. Trilok Chandra said that as the packages had to be created as per guidelines issued by the Directorate of Municipal Administration, it would not be possible to make changes. The system will cost the corporation Rs. 19.55 crore annually, said the Municipal Commissioner.

CRPF to open jungle warfare training school in Karnataka
(http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_crpf-to-open-jungle-warfare-training-school-in-karnataka_1604347)
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will soon open an institute in Karnataka which will train the paramilitary force in jungle warfare to better deal with Naxals.

Besides, there are also plans to set up institutes to impart trainings related to intelligence gathering and on anti-riots measures.

"We have asked for land from Karnataka. They are offering us land near Khanapur in Belgaum. This land is coming to us soon and we will have jungle traits and counter insurgency school there," CRPF Director General K Vijay Kumar told reporters here today. CRPF has two counter insurgency and terrorism schools -- one in Silchar (Assam) and the other at Shivpuri (Madhya Pradesh).

About three lakh CRPF jawans are entrusted with anti-Naxal, counter-insurgency, anti-riots and other internal security related duties across the country.

Six training schools will come up in different parts of the country to bring in professionalism in the men on the ground. These include CRPF intelligence institute in Gurgaon (Haryana), RAF training school in Meerut (UP) and Indian institute of IED management in Pune (Maharashtra), Kumar said.

On attrition rates in the force, he said, "We have studied attrition level very carefully. It is of not much serious concern now."

According to an official data, about 164 officers (from both junior and senior levels) have left the force in the last five years.

On possible increase or decrease in forces in Naxal-hit areas, Kumar said, "It is under active consideration and discussion...Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are the priority belts."

Belgaum all geared up for a change, Come March 2012 with Suvarna Vidhan Soudha functional, the division and moreover the city will see faster developments with population burst (migration).

Southern states seem to have caught on the importance of Tier II cities. To the recent list of 36 future cities, culled out by Girem Global Initiative for Restructuring Environment & Management (GIREM)
, an urban planning body, south contributes 13

Interestingly, out of the 36 future cities, the top three — Thir*u*van*anthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode – are from Kerala. Of the top 10 cities, four – Coimbatore, Tiruchi, Madurai and Salem – are from Tamil Nadu and five more cities – Mangalore, Belgaum and Mysore in Karnataka. Along with Vishakapatnam and Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh and Puduchery south India takes its contribution to 13 out of the 36 future potential cities.

So what makes – South India so special, when it comes to development in future?

“Culture, cosmopolitan outlook, quality of human resources and strong educational system are the key factors that make south India a strong investment destination,” said Shyam Sundar S Pani, president of Girem.

According to him, in spite of technological advancements, business is human driven and these cities were selected based on the above-mentioned parameters along with educational institutions existing in those cities as well as the population. “We will connect with the city authorities and explain to them the required framework to make these cities more proactive to attract investors, by improving standards of living and public services,” Pani added.

Make Hubli-Dharwad road six-lane: Horatti

The former Minister and MLC Basavaraj Horatti has urged Minister in charge of district Jagadish Shettar to put pressure on the State Government to make the Hubli-Dharwad road six-lane instead of four-lane.

According to him, Mr. Shettar's statement that the Finance Department had not approved the six-lane proposal because of funds shortage was not true. “The department officials are keen on the six-lane proposal and have told me that finance is not a major issue. Mr. Shettar should rise to the occasion and get the project sanctioned. We will extend all our support to him,” he said.

“The plan for four lanes is not practical considering the growing traffic density on this stretch.

“We have to keep in mind the requirements for the next 25 years at least while executing such projects and not bow to any kind of pressure,” he said.

Pointing out that the State Government had released development grants totalling Rs. 2,000 crore to Shimoga; Rs. 1,200 crore to Mangalore and Rs. 700 crore to Mysore, he said it would not be difficult for the Government to release Rs. 600 crore required for acquisition of land.

Cloth made from coloured cotton set to be reality in India too (http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/agri-biz/article2609329.ece?ref=wl_industry-and-economy)

Business Line Colour cotton, yarn and an apparel made out of it on display at the World Cotton Research

MUMBAI, NOV. 8: If the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, has its way, then we could have cloth made from coloured cotton. In fact, this could be just months away.

The university has now perfected growing cotton, which is not genetically modified, with natural dark brown, light brown and green colour after almost a decade's research.

This could cut the cost of processing for garment manufacturers by more than half, while also ensuring that pollution is not caused by dyeing. Consumers, too, will not have to shell out more for the cloth made from coloured cotton since the industry will be saving money on dyeing and processing.

Last year, the Madras High Court had ordered shut dyeing units in Tirupur in Tamil Nadu for polluting the Noyyal river. It had thrown the garment industry in disarray.

“Coloured cotton can now be commercially cultivated in the country. We have grown it on a trial basis in a village near Dharwad in Karnataka and have reaped success,” said Dr Shreekant S. Patil, senior cotton breeder of the Dharwad varsity.

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission has approached the varsity to grow the cotton and make cloth out of it.

“The Commission has set up aside Rs 80 lakh to grow coloured cotton. But the signing of the memorandum of understanding has been delayed because we are demanding royalty. The issue will be sorted out soon,” said Dr Patil.

A few private players, too, have shown interest in growing coloured cotton.

The US and Europe already have developed coloured cotton and clothes, too, are available.

Initially, the Dharwad varsity had spun cloth out from a single colour cotton, that is either dark brown, light brown or green. But now, it has made cloth that has been made from yarn of white, brown and green cotton.

The cotton, yarn and other products were shown to delegates at the World Cotton Research Conference here on Tuesday.

Coloured cotton had been in vogue in the past, but had been lost over a period of time. In the modern era, Sally Fox of the US came up with coloured cotton in 1982.

In India, finding of coloured cotton was reported in 1997 but the fibre suffered from short length and poor strength. Moreover, the yield was also poor.

But after nearly a decade's experiments, researchers have come up with coloured cotton with the fibre length and strength of the best varieties.

Presenting the varsity's findings at the conference, Dr Manjula M.S., a senior breeder, said that the yield of dark brown and light brown cotton was over 2.5 tonnes a hectare. In the case of green, the productivity was 1.4 tonnes.

The university is continuing its research looking for other coloured cotton, besides improving its strength and yield further.

Tests reveal Rajhans Gad soil contains low-grade bauxite



http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/00832/09bgBEVKPHI-W015_GA_832237e.jpg
Soil analysis: Though the hills have deposits of aluminous laterite, it is not fit for the aluminium metallurgical industry.
A fresh development evidently disproves the claims of Deputy Commissioner Ekroop Kaur that there were no mineral or bauxite ore deposits at the Rajhans Gad (fort) hill.

On October 17, the Deputy Commissioner issued a release disapproving the allegations made by residents of Rajhans Gad and adjoining areas that the contractor entrusted with road construction, under Rajhans Gad development works, was indulging in illegal quarrying and stealing the mineral wealth.

She had reportedly challenged, apparently without testing the soil, that anybody could collect the soil and get it tested from experts.

Subsequently, this correspondent collected a random soil sample from the hill and approached the Mines and Geology Department's divisional laboratory in the city. By that time, however, the department officials had already sent scientifically collected sample for analysis.

Official sources quoted the analysis report and confirmed to The Hindu on the presence of low-grade aluminous laterite or bauxite at the hill. Accordingly, the department conveyed the findings to the Deputy Commissioner's office recently.

However, an official at the Mines and Geology Department, quoting the latest analysis, said that though the hills had deposits of aluminous laterite, it was not fit for aluminium metallurgical industry or commercial exploitation.

The Unakal Lake Park, work on which is going on, is likely to be thrown open to the public next year.

Speaking to presspersons here on Thursday after inspecting the progress of work, Dharwad Deputy Commissioner Darpan Jain said that 90 per cent of the work had been completed and the remaining would be done by December-end.

“In all probability, we will dedicate the lake park to the people of the twin cities by January 2012,” he said.

Special grant

Mr. Jain said that the work was being taken up under the Rs. 100-crore special grant released to the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation.

“The Unakal Lake Park is being developed in four phases with an initial estimated cost of Rs. 5.5 crore. Development of the tank bund and fencing, jogging track, raising of the lawn, construction of pavilions, amphitheatre for conducting cultural programmes have been completed in the lake park which is spread over 8 acres,” he said.

Mr. Jain said that for the first time, double-decker gazebos had been built in a lake park. Visitors could sit in the two gazebos and enjoy the view of the lake.

Pavilions

“The lake park also has pavilions where visitors can rest while enjoying the view of the lake. And then there is also an amphitheatre that can accommodate 400 to 500 people,” he said.

The Deputy Commissioner said that the lake park would have three entrances and sufficient parking area had been earmarked.

He said that the lake park would have a new jetty. “The existing jetty has become weak, and we will be constructing a new one in a month. Once the development of the lake park is complete, we plan to introduce water sports, apart from boating,” he said.

New hotel

Mr. Jain said the existing building housing the canteen would be demolished and a new hotel would be constructed beside the lake.

He said that sewage entering the lake from Unakal side had been diverted and the work on diverting sewage from Navanagar and surrounding areas was being undertaken under the North Karnataka Urban Sector Improvement Programme .

To a query, Mr. Jain said that another project on diverting sewage from the other adjoining areas of the lake had been prepared which would require around Rs. 1.5 crore.

“We will try and get the funds from the Government,” he said.

To another query, Mr. Jain said that washing platforms and water tanks had been constructed next to the lake and arrangements for water supply would be made shortly. “We will not allow people to wash clothes and allow cattle in the lake once work is completed,” he said.

The Deputy Commissioner was accompanied by HDMC Superintendent Engineer L.R. Nayak and other officials.

ಉಣಕಲ್ ಕೆರೆಯ ಸುತ್ತಮುತ್ತ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಉದ್ಯಾನವನದ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಧಿಕಾರಿ ದರ್ಪಣ ಜೈನ್ ಗುರುವಾರ ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿದರು.

ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ: ಅಂದಾಜು 5.5 ಕೋಟಿ ವೆಚ್ಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಳೆದ ಮೂರು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಉಣಕಲ್ ಕೆರೆಯ ದಡದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿ ಅಂತಿಮ ಹಂತಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದು, ಬರುವ ಜನವರಿ ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಉದ್ಯಾನವನ್ನು ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಬಳಕೆಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಗೊಳಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಧಿಕಾರಿ ದರ್ಪಣ ಜೈನ್ ನುಡಿದರು.

ಉಣಕಲ್ ಕೆರೆಯ ಸುತ್ತಮುತ್ತ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ವಿವಿಧ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಗುರುವಾರ ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿದ ನಂತರ ಸುದ್ದಿಗಾರರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ ಅವರು, ಶೇ 90ರಷ್ಟು ಕಾಮಗಾರಿಗಳು ಮುಕ್ತಾಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೇವಲ ಶೇ 10ರಷ್ಟು ಮಾತ್ರ ಬಾಕಿ ಇದೆ.

ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದಂತೆ ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ಒಳಗೇ ಎಲ್ಲ ಕೆಲಸಗಳು ಮುಕ್ತಾಯಗೊಳ್ಳಲಿವೆ. ಅವಳಿ ನಗರದ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ನೀಡಿದ್ದ 100 ಕೋಟಿ ಅನುದಾನದಲ್ಲಿ 5.5 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂಪಾಯಿ ಬಳಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಈ ಕೆರೆ ಉದ್ಯಾನ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಪಡಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಡೀ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲೇ ಎಲ್ಲೂ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಎರಡು ಡಬಲ್ ಡೆಕರ್ (ಅಂತಸ್ತಿನ) ಗೋಪುರವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಸುಮಾರು 500 ಮಂದಿ ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದಾದ ಬಯಲು ರಂಗಮಂದಿರ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೆರೆಯ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ದೀಪಾಲಂಕಾರವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಮೂರು ಬದಿಯಲ್ಲೂ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ದ್ವಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಅಳವಡಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ದ್ವಾರದೊಳಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿದ ಕೂಡಲೇ ವಾಹನ ಪಾರ್ಕಿಂಗ್*ಗಾಗಿ ಜಾಗ ಮೀಸಲಿಡಲಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಮೂರೂ ಕಡೆ ಶೌಚಾಲಯ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿದರು.

ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಶುಲ್ಕ: ಉಣಕಲ್ ಕೆರೆ ಪಾರ್ಕ್ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತವಾದ ಬಳಿಕ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಶುಲ್ಕ ವಿಧಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆಯೂ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಡಳಿತ ಚಿಂತನೆ ನಡೆಸಿದ್ದು, ಇದರ ಸುಳಿವನ್ನು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಧಿಕಾರಿ ನೀಡಿದರು.

ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ವಾಯು ವಿಹಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವರಿಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ಶುಲ್ಕ ವಿಧಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಅದಾದ ಬಳಿಕ ಪಾರ್ಕ್*ಗೆ ಬರುವವರಿಗೆ ಶುಲ್ಕ ವಿಧಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಶುಲ್ಕ ಎಷ್ಟು ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಉದ್ಘಾಟನೆಯ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿದರು.

ಸ್ವಚ್ಛತೆಗೆ ಆದ್ಯತೆ: ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನವಿರುವ ಕೆರೆಭಾಗದ ನೀರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಬಟ್ಟೆ ತೊಳೆಯುವ ಹಾಗೂ ಜಾನುವಾರು ಸ್ವಚ್ಛಗೊಳಿಸುವವರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ಜಾಗ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿ ಕೆರೆ ನೀರು ಪೂರೈಕೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆದರೂ ಬಟ್ಟೆ ತೊಳೆಯುವುದು ನಿಂತಿಲ್ಲ.

ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರ ಮನವೊಲಿಸುವ ಕಾರ್ಯ ನಡೆದಿದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೇ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವ ಭಕ್ತರು ಪೂಜಾ ಸಾಮಗ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತೂರುವುದನ್ನು ತಡೆಯಲು 10 ಮಂದಿ ಭದ್ರತಾ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿಯನ್ನು ನೇಮಕ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದರೂ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅರಿವು ಮೂಡದ ಹೊರತು ಕೆರೆಯ ಸ್ವಚ್ಛತೆ ಕಾಪಾಡುವುದು ಅಸಾಧ್ಯ ಎಂದರು.

ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ನೀರಿನ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಬದಲು: ಇಲ್ಲಿಯವರೆಗೆ ಉಣಕಲ್ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನದ ಬಳಿ ಹಾಗೂ ನವನಗರ ಭಾಗದಿಂದ ತ್ಯಾಜ್ಯ ನೀರು ಕೆರೆಯನ್ನು ಸೇರುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಕೆರೆ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಆ ನೀರು ಬರದಂತೆ ತಡೆ ಒಡ್ಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೇ ಉದ್ದೇಶಿತ ಪಿ.ಬಿ. ರಸ್ತೆ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಉದ್ಯಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಧಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗದ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಧಿಕಾರಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.

ಉಣಕಲ್ ಉದ್ಯಾನ ಮೊದಲು ಉದ್ಘಾಟನೆ: ಉಣಕಲ್ ಕೆರೆಯ ಉದ್ಯಾನದೊಂದಿಗೇ ಧಾರವಾಡದ ಕೆಲಗೇರಿ ಕೆರೆ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯನ್ನೂ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅದರ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಬಾಕಿ ಉಳಿದಿದ್ದು, ಕನಿಷ್ಠ 3-4 ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಗಿಯಬಹುದು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಉಣಕಲ್ ಉದ್ಯಾನವೇ ಮೊದಲು ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಬಳಕೆಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತವಾಗಲಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಯೊಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಉತ್ತರಿಸಿದರು.

4 way work has started....:cheers::cheers:

Indian software product firms, dwarfed by their mammoth counterparts in the services sector, have long been struggling for a global identity. But with the growth in domestic demand, lower costs of setting shop, better availability of talent, improved connectivity and emerging success stories, the number of start-ups have doubled in the past five years. The number of firms in tier-II and tier-III regions have also doubled in three years.

According to a recent Nasscom study, the Indian product sector that has been growing at a CAGR of 22% for five years is now worth $2 billion. It has added 1,100 new firms in the last five years, taking the total to 2,400. In the past three years, 330 firms have sprung up in tier-II and-III towns. Vayavya Labs, which operates in Belgaum, Karnataka, has recently raised funds.

“Three things are essentially happening here. The domestic market is opening up, driven by a demand for SAS-based products by small and medium businesses. The international market, as seen in the case of companies like Zoho and FusionCharts, is becoming a very compelling reality. Challenges in finding good product managers are also increasingly disappearing. The number of exits lined up in the space are also a good indicator of how things are going,” says Sharad Sharma, chair of the Nasscom product forum.

BANGALORE: The city continues to be the engine of population growth in the state, notwithstanding all efforts by the authorities to shift the balance of development in favour of tier-II cities, and remove regional imbalances in growth.

Provisional Census of India 2011 figures reveal that Bangalore's rate of population growth is way ahead of the state's average, reflecting continued migration to the city from all parts of the country.

Besides, the city's population growth rate is increasing, while those of other districts whose administrative headquarters are being promoted as viable alternatives to Bangalore , is falling. This only means that tier-II cities have failed to take pressure off Bangalore. The ranks of Bangaloreans - residents of Bangalore Urban district to be precise - have swelled by 46.68% during 2001-11 as against the state's average of 15.67%. In comparison, the population growth rate of Mysore is 13.39%, Dakshina Kannada 9.80%, Belgaum 13.38% and Dharwad 15.13%. While the decadal growth rate for 1991-2001 for Bangalore Urban district was 17.51%, it was 15.75% for Mysore, 14.59% for Dakshina Kannada, 17.61% for Belgaum and 16.68% for Dharwad district.

The phenomenal increase in Bangalore's population growth rate stands in stark contrast to the marked fall in its immediate neighbourhood districts like Tumkur (from 12.1% in 1991-2001 to 3.74% in 2001-2011 ), Mandya (7.26% to 2.55%) and Kolar (14.46% to 11.04%).

UNIFORM GROWTH

Bangalore may be out of sync with the rest of the state when it comes to population growth rate and sex ratio, but the city is matching strides with the state when it comes to the literacy rate. Bangalore Urban district recorded a literacy rate of 88.48%, up from 82.96% in 2001, while the corresponding figures for the state were 75.6% and 66.64%. Mysore, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Belgaum and Dharwad districts recorded literacy rates of 72.56% (63.48%), 88.62% (83.35%), 86.29% (81.25%), 73.94% (64.21%) and 80.3% (71.61%), respectively.

THE BELLARY EXCEPTION

Bellary, which hit the headlines with the emergence of the iron ore mining industry in the first decade of the 21st century, Bijapur and Yadgir are the only districts, other than Bangalore Urban, to have recorded an increase in population growth rate over the previous decade. The rates for 2001-2011 for Bellary, Bijapur and Yadgir were 24.92%, 20.38% and 22.67% respectively. The corresponding figures for 1991-2001 were 22.41%, 17.51% and 20.12%, respectively.

CHIKMAGALUR'S NEGATIVE GROWTH

The population growth rate has been negative during 2001-2011 only in Chikmagalur district, at -0 .28%. It was 12.15% in 1991-2001

India being largest producers of fruits of all kinds, and mango being the King of fruits, Dharwad and Belgaum are the major producers (the Alphonso).. also known as the king of mangoes...

In South Karnataka, Kolar and Bangalore rural are the
largest mango growing districts with an area of 33770 and 20300
ha produces 62200 and 69520 tones, respectively. Whereas,
Dharwad and Belgaum are the major mango growing districts in
Northern Karnataka with an area of 4569 and 3964 ha producing
of 55612 and 50673 tones, respectively (Anon., 2008).
Material and methods
The research study was carried out during 2008-09 in
Dharwad and Belgaum districts of Karnataka state as these stood
first and second in area and production of mango in north
Karnataka. Among five taluks of Dharwad district, Dharwad taluk
had the maximum area under mango (2,618 ha) followed by
Kalghatagi (715 ha) taluk. Similarly, among eleven taluks of
Belgaum district Khanapur taluk (1,489 ha) had maximum area
followed by Belgaum (1,385 ha). Hence, Dharwad and Kalghatagi
taluks from Dharwad district and Khanapur and Belgaum taluks
from Belgaum district were purposively selected for the study.
From the list of villages having highest area under
mango crop in Dharwad, Kalgatagi, Belgaum and Khanapur
taluks, three villages for each taluk were selected based on
maximum area under mango crop. The list of established mango
orchards for each of the 12 selected villages was prepared in
consultation with officers of state Department of Horticulture
and people involved in procurement and processing of mango.
Based on random sampling, ten mango growers were selected
from each of selected village to constitute a sample of 120 mango
growers.

Hubli’s time to shine as venue for cricket matches

HUBLI: If everything goes according to Karnataka State Cricket Association's plan, Hubli stands to boast of an international cricket stadium within a few months. With the renovation at Raj Nagar stadium set to be over in a matter of weeks, it will be the first to have a top class cricket stadium in the North Karnataka region.

The stadium is expected to host the KPL matches, which will be held in February 2012.

The renovation is carried out in around 15 acres of land in Raj Nagar, which is situated on the outskirts of the city. KSCA took the ground under contract from the government.

Stadium renovation has been taken up by KSCA. The renovation comes at a budget of Rs 65 lakh with the ground itself using up Rs 10 lakh of the amount. Workers have already replaced the old grass and levelled the ground. Raj Nagar cricket stadium is bigger than Chinnaswamy cricket stadium in Bangalore. The former has a length of 80 feet and width of 100 feet. It consists of eight pitches, out field, pavilions, players' dressing rooms, administrative office room, gym and dormitory.

The work on the stadium was delayed because the government sports department did not spare any funds. Work finally began in June, 2011.

KSCA managing committee member and Dharwad zone convener M B Bhusad told the Times of India that a tender was called over the weeks for building two floors which consists of toilets, players' rooms and office rooms.

"We are expecting work to finish soon and that KPL matches will be held on this ground," he said. "We are preparing some more pitches for cricket practice by students from academies even if we didn't get any fund from the sports departments," he said.

Unakal lake park will be ready on new year eve

GURURAJ JAMKHANDI, TNN Nov 13, 2011, 01.42PM IST
Dharwad: What better place to sit and enjoy the last sunset of the year than on the side of a clean, beautiful lake? The beatified Unakal lake park will be thrown open to the public on December 31. And revellers in Hubli and Dharwad are sure to grab this opportunity to make plans for an eventful year-end.

The twin cities have seen several parks and lakes renovated and beautified and Unakal Lake will join the list soon. The lake, spread over an area of 8 acres, has been developed under Rs 100-crore special grants released to Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation and the work has been taken up in four phases.

Deputy commissioner Darpan Jain, who has evinced keen interest in developing the Lake Park, told The Times of India that the Rs 5.5 crore has been spent on the project that involved development of the tank bund and fencing, jogging track, raising of the lawn, construction of pavilions and amphitheatre for conducting cultural events.

Two double-decker gazebos in which visitors can sit and enjoy the view of the lake are special attraction. Cultural events can be held at the ampitheatre which has a seating capacity of 500.

To maintain cleanliness and avoid misuse of the premises, three entrance gates are erected. Sufficient parking area has also been provided. Jain said water sports will be introduced soon and a new jetty would replace the existing obsolete jetty. Boating facilities will be provided.

The visitors will have a new building constructed for housing the canteen. The DC said the present building will be demolished.

Once the lake park is ready, the authorities will not allow the people to wash clothes and cattle. For those washing clothes, a separate washing platform with water supply has been constructed next to the lake.

Efforts are on to keep the lake water clean and sewage entering the lake from Unakal side had been diverted.

Work is on for diverting sewage from Navanagar and surrounding areas.

Later we can lock this thread :cheers: Hubli-dharwad and belgaum cannot become single city ever, coz there is no city in world that is 70km dia or it will take 100 years from now minimum.

The new Hubli Railway Station may become operational before the next Railway Budget is presented.

Speaking to presspersons after reviewing the progress of work here on Tuesday, Praveen Kumar Mishra, Divisional Railway Manager of the Hubli Division of South Western Railway, said the plan was to complete major works on the station building by February-end.

HURDLES CLEARED

Mr. Mishra clarified that there was no paucity of funds for the project now as Rs. 9 crore had been made available for the current financial year.

Also the structural engineering issues had been sorted out with consultants clearing the drawings and designs of the new railway station.

He said that the new railway station, which was being built at a cost of Rs. 27 crore, would be a model for the whole country. “The drawings and designs prepared by the architects were complicated and we took the help of a team from IIT Madras. They have cleared and approved the designs, thus allaying any fears on the structural engineering aspects,” he said.

By February 2012, works worth Rs. 12 crore would be completed, he said.

He said that of the four blocks of the railway station, works on B, C and D blocks would be completed soon, while the work on the block A would take some more time. “We plan to complete the whole project by 2014 depending on the availability of funds,” he said.

Senior Divisional Engineer (Coordination) P.R.S. Raman said the plan was to complete work on the waiting area and concourse, waiting rooms for the passengers, ticket booking counters, kitchen, food plaza for the passengers, tourist facilitation centre, VIP lounge, toilet blocks and other facilities so that basic amenities would be available when the station became operational.

SECOND ENTRANCE

Mr. Mishra said that soon there would be another entrance point to the Hubli railway station on Gadag Road. “There is enough land available for the purpose,” Mr. Mishra said.

Government approves bypass railway line

Divisional Railway Manager of the Hubli Division of South Western Railway, has said that the State Government has already given its approval for laying the bypass railway line around Hubli. The land acquisition process has already started, he added.

Speaking to presspersons here on Tuesday after inspecting work on the new railway station building here, Mr. Mishra said that after some farmers raised objections to the alignment of the proposed bypass line, railway officials had conducted an inspection.

However, their findings showed that there were no pucca houses in the land identified for acquisition, he said.

Purpose
He said the purpose of the bypass railway line was to prevent goods trains from entering the city.

Doubling of the existing railway line would not be an alternative for the bypass line, he clarified.

‘No problems'
“After the issue was raised, I spoke to the officials and the district administration. The State Government has already given the approval and there are no problems with regard to the acquisition,” he said.

Earlier, farmers from Bammapur, Nagashettikoppa, Bengeri, Gopanakoppa and Unakal had demanded realignment of the proposed bypass railway line.

They had even staged a protest during the visit of Union Minister of State for Railways K.H. Muniyappa.

Addressed
To a query, Mr. Mishra said there were some problems with regard to cleaning of some of the railway stations, including the Hubli railway station.

For this, additional facilities were being provided.

To another query on the defunct prepaid autorickshaw facility at the Hubli railway station, Mr. Mishra said he would direct the officials of the department to fix an appointment with the Police Commissioner to sort out the problems and restart the facility.

Hubli to get diabetes care centre

Jagadish Angadi, Bangalore, Nov 13, DHNS:

The State will have the second diabetes tertiary care centre on the lines of Karnataka Institute of Diabetology, Bangalore, at Karnataka Institute of Medical Science (KIMS), Hubli.

The State government has written a letter to the KIMS director asking to study and submit a feasibility report to set up the centre, first in North Karnataka and second in the State. “The study will be taken up soon. Though the centre will be attached to KIMS, it will be an autonomous body,” Dr G B Sattur, member, Governing Council, KIMS, Hubli, told Deccan Herald.

Dr Sattur, with more than two decades of experience in the field of diabetology and several researches about diabetics in North Karnataka, submitted a proposal to the government a few months ago stressing the need for setting up such a centre to cater to the requirements of diabetics in the region.

Doctors, led by Dr Sattur, pressurised Revenue Minister Jagadish Shettar and Dharwad MP Pralhad Joshi who took up the matter with the government, which finally responded.

It will be a Rs 10 crore-project initially with modern infrastructure to treat different types of diabetes and patients suffering from several complications due to diabetes. If all goes well, the centre should become a reality within a year, Dr Sattur said.

“This diabetic referral centre will easily accommodate around 100 outpatients per day besides in-patient facilities. We have also plans to request the government to set up a separate diabetic wing at every district hospital or in cities where the population is more than one lakh across North Karnataka. The wing can conduct tests on routine basis and will have a surgeon, a physician and a diet advisor. It will automatically follow once the centre at KIMS comes up,” he added.

Medicines for diabetes are given free of cost at government hospitals. But, recently introduced anti-diabetic drugs are not supplied as they are too expensive. Hence, such centres will be a blessing for poor patients in rural areas, he stated.

Around 12 per cent of the whole of NK population is diabetic. The biggest problem of the region is lack of awareness among masses, especially rural masses. Growth of diabetics has been exponential during the last two decades due to changed food habits and lifestyle.

The presentation of patients in NK with critical symptoms in uncommon. Doctors pick such patients up during routine testings, Dr Sattur said quoting results of the studies.

New Hubli Railway Station to be functional soon

The new Hubli Railway Station may become operational before the next Railway Budget is presented.

Speaking to presspersons after reviewing the progress of work here on Tuesday, Praveen Kumar Mishra, Divisional Railway Manager of the Hubli Division of South Western Railway, said the plan was to complete major works on the station building by February-end.

HURDLES CLEARED

Mr. Mishra clarified that there was no paucity of funds for the project now as Rs. 9 crore had been made available for the current financial year.

Also the structural engineering issues had been sorted out with consultants clearing the drawings and designs of the new railway station.

He said that the new railway station, which was being built at a cost of Rs. 27 crore, would be a model for the whole country. “The drawings and designs prepared by the architects were complicated and we took the help of a team from IIT Madras. They have cleared and approved the designs, thus allaying any fears on the structural engineering aspects,” he said.

By February 2012, works worth Rs. 12 crore would be completed, he said.

WORKS

He said that of the four blocks of the railway station, works on B, C and D blocks would be completed soon, while the work on the block A would take some more time. “We plan to complete the whole project by 2014 depending on the availability of funds,” he said.

^^ You are changing the point. The point was not about making a sub-forum. The point was why create unnecessary threads which make the forum look crowded and haphazard.

^^ Yea, separating belgaum and hubli-dharwad threads makes it look crowded and haphazard :doh: Im not asking to make separate forum even now, but just separate threads. I recently mistook some belgaum news here to that of hubli and thought better if we separate 2 city threads. Separating threads helps not just ssc readers but help people who search for info at google. But you know i hardly post any updates about hubli/belgaum, in fact i hardly visit this thread.

Goudar very nice pics..what is that building behind?Huge blocks

BELGAUM: Cooperative minister Laxman Savadi on Wednesday said that by implementing the Vaidyanathan Committee Report, the state government has taken a historic step to strengthen the cooperative sector in Karnataka.

Speaking at the inauguration of the All India Cooperative Week in Belgaum

He Said nearly 4,700 loss-making agricultural cooperative societies are now in the green. "This happened because people in the sector have the liberty to work independently, without any pressure from the government or the ruling party. If nurtured properly, the sector can give a competition to the private sector," he said.

G T Deve Gowda, president of Karnataka State Cooperative Federation, announced that a cooperative training institute would be opened in Belgaum in 2012. "The cooperative training institute will be built at a cost of Rs 2.50 crore,"

Hubli will soon be home to ‘Janapada Jagattu'

The focus will be to preserve the folk activities of the north Karnataka region
In addition to Sadhanakeri Lake Park and the Mahatma Gandhi Park, which have become centres of attraction for the people of north Karnataka, the twin cities will soon have another attraction, that will showcase the folk-art and culture of the region.

The new attraction named “Janapada Jagattu” draws inspiration from a similar set up at Ramnagaram (Janapada Loka) near Bangalore, which throws light into the realm of folklore, folk arts, and the lifestyle of the region. While the overall objective was similar, the focus would be on preserving the folk activities of the north Karnataka region and subsequently taking up research on them.

“It will be a microcosm of folk activities of the region,” said Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad Darpan Jain.

The “Janapada Jagattu” will be built on the foot of the Nrupatunga Betta in Hubli and will be spread over five acres of land.

Blueprint

The basic structure of the centre had been finalised and the district administration was ready with the blueprint of the work to be taken up immediately to create the basic structure.

“We have been sanctioned Rs. 50 lakh for beginning the basic work on the government land identified for the ‘Janapada Jagattu'. The initial estimate is about Rs. 3.5 crore. We want to complete the works as early as possible so that we can approach the government for funds for further works,” Mr. Jain told The Hindu .

“There is no such centre in this part of the State and once the centre comes up, it will be taking up research into everyday lives of the people of the region,” he said.

The ‘Janapada Jagattu' will have an exhibition centre that will showcase the art and culture, and folk traditions. It will have a library, museum, and dormitory. The folk artistes and researchers of the region are happy about the development. The idea was mooted by Ramu Mulagi, a member of the Karnataka Janapada Academy, a researcher, and a folk artiste.

Mr. Mulagi, who has been interacting with the district administration on developing the concept, wants the “Janapada Jagattu” to be developed into a centre where the folk art forms are taught and passed on to the next generations apart from documenting the folk art forms and taking up research on them.

The foundation-laying ceremony of the centre will be held on Friday and Kannada and Culture Minister Govind Karjol will lay the foundation stone.

KAPPEC setting up 2 cold storages in JV with ASIDE, investing Rs 10 crore

Saturday, November 19, 2011 08:00 IST
Nandita Vijay, Bangalore

Karnataka State Agricultural Produce Processing & Export Corporation Limited (KAPPEC) in joint venture with the Union government has received a funding under the Assistance to States for Developing Export Infrastructure and Allied Activities (ASIDE) scheme to the tune of Rs 10 crore for setting up cold storages. The new cold storages are coming up in Bagalkot and Hubli. While the former is for the storage of grapes and other fruits, the latter will be for mangoes.

The construction has commenced and these two facilities will provide the much-needed relief to harness the export potential despite the state having a sizeable production of fruits and vegetables, Dr Vishakanta, managing director, KAPPEC, told FnB News.

“There is need for cold storages across the state in 30 districts. Being the nodal agency for the coming two-day event - Bounteous Karnataka, Global Agribusiness & Food Processing Summit - to be held on December 1 and 2, 2011, in Bangalore at the Palace Grounds, we hope to attract maximum investors from the potential investors,” he said.

The lack of post-harvest management infrastructure, absence of suitable cold storages and the demand of organised storage and distribution connectivity are some of the multiple reasons behind the underutilisation of the potential horticultural resources. Along with cold chains there is also need for setting up of pack houses for pomegranates, grapes among others. There is also need for setting up of ripening of chambers for bananas. There is also need to upgrade the existing cold storage units into pack houses, noted experts in post-harvesting.

“This is where the developments ensuing from the Bounteous Karnataka, Global Agribusiness & Food Processing Summit would extend to over three years to identify and tap the investors. Our three-year plan extends from 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 and may even spill over to part of the fiscal 2014-15,” said Dr Vishakanta.

“During the Global Investors Meet in 2010 at Bangalore, we inked several memoranda of understanding. Even the two new cold storage units at Bagalkot and Hubli being set up have following the GIM MoU,” added Dr Vishakanta.

Plans are underway to establish two more cold storage facilities at Humnabad in Bidar district and Belgaum in joint venture with the ASIDE, he said.

The state government has come up with the Integrated Agribusiness Development Policy, 2011. Also it is working aggressively to highlight its existing capabilities in the areas of agriculture, horticulture, agro-forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, sericulture, apiculture and food processing sectors. In this regard, it has already identified agribusiness investment regions and agribusiness investment areas.

BELGAUM: Karnataka government has signed a pact with Australia and Germany, to create job opportunities for professionally trained unemployed youths in the state, according to N Manjunath, commissioner of the department of training and employment.

He was speaking after participating in 'Skill Development and Employment Fair' organized jointly by Skill Commission, department of training and employment, and Karnataka Professional Training and Skill Development Board in Belgaum on Friday.

He said, "The job fair was an attempt to bring job seekers and job providers to a single platform. There are lakhs of unemployed youths in the state. But most of them do not have the skill of communication.

"Department is giving about 50 type trainings for the unskilled youths to make them employable. We have identified 500 training centers across the state for this," he added.

Earlier, Belgaum (north) MLA Firoz Sait inaugurated the event. Over 3,000 youths participated in the job fair.

CEF will highlight the higher education opportunities in Canada, and assist aspiring candidates from Belgaum and Goa in pursuing their education in that country.

Speaking at a press conference here on Thursday, Cecil Cardoz, legal information specialist on Canadian immigration and student counseling services, said, "Most of the students prefer to study at universities in Canada because it is the most popular and cost effective study destination in the world."

The prediction is a normal winter with minimum temperature hovering around 12-13 deg Celsius by the end of December and early January, for all of Karnataka.

December 2010 saw the coldest winter in the past 100 years, with minimum temperature touching 7-9 degree Celsius in various parts of the state.

We can expect a normal winter. Minimum temperature will fluctuate between 12 and 14 degree Celsius in December-January," said B Puttanna, director-in-charge, India Meteorological Department, Bangalore.

He added that only northern parts of Karnataka, like Belgaum, Bijapur and Gulbarga, will see severe cold. The minimum temperature has already touched 11.4 degree Celsius in Belgaum, so it's only likely to get colder as winter progresses.

There is no import duty for foreign MRO companies from overseas suppliers but domestic players have to pay import duty of 30 to 40 per cent. In addition, there is 18.5 per cent minimum alternate tax on aerospace special economic zones which are coming up at Nagpur, Belgaum and Hyderabad

NEW DELHI, NOV. 22:
The proposal to include 28 cities having a population of five lakh and above under the flagship Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) has been rejected by the Planning Commission on account of resource constraints.

“It was proposed by the Ministry to include 28 cities or urban agglomerations with population of five lakh and above under the Urban Infrastructure and Governance (UIG) of JNNURM,” the Minister of State for Urban Development, Mr Saugata Roy, said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.

However, “on account of resource constraints, the Planning Commission did not agree to include these cities under UIG of JNNURM,” the Minister said.

The proposed cities included Guntur, Warangal, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Belgaum, Mangalore and Hubli-Dharwad, Durg-Bhilai Nagar, Kozhikode, Gwalior, Amravati, Bhiwandi, Aurangabad, Kolhapur, Solapur, Cuttack, Jalandhar, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Kota, Salem, Tiruppur, Tiruchirappalli, Aligarh, Bareilly, Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur and Moradabad.

UIG is a sub-mission of JNNURM which looks at projects such as widening of roads, reducing congestion, renewal of sewerage and water pipe system, development of heritage areas, preservation of water bodies in urban areas which come under the programme.
