The new route proposed has only about 5 km National Sanctuary which can be covered by an elevated path.

This route is between Nagarhole and Bandipur sanctuaries.The proposal is Mysore-Kadakola-Bavali-Mananthavady.It then divides as
Mananthavady-Thalassery and Mananthavady-Nilambur via Kalpetta,Chooralmala lines.
I don't think this route is feasible either. Just for eyewash they have made fake survey which was completed in two weeks or so. The gap between Bandipur and Nagarhole park is the Kabani river were animals comes to drink water. I don't think they will allow to build a railway line through that path. Trains will disturb wild animals even if it's in elevated path. Better we forget these railway lines. May be we can forget the national highway too. :lol:

Already removed NH from memory. The two NH passing through bandipur forest is almost dead. Nilambur to nanjangod is almost impossible now. Then the only possible solution is underground. If they built it it will be one of the marvels of engineering. Talassery-mysore seems more practical though it also passes through official and unofficial forests. mysore-hunsur-irrity-talassey is never going to fail as it will attract tons of tourist. The terrain of nilambur nangaod is much bad for rail lines. Even if they decide to cut forest it may has to go lot of loops to climb up.

And again on forests the forest area on karnataka side gradually increasing every year. Some four years ago the places which were dry and scantly are now thickly dense with trees.

Thalassery-Kodagu-Mysore line will also pass through Brahmagiri Wild Life Sanctuary. At present there is no restriction in road travel. But here also new rail construction will be almost impossible. :ohno:

MALAPPURAM: If everything goes well, Malappuram municipality will be the first in the state to have the complete data required for urban planning.

The urban information system which will be the backbone for planning a city has started functioning on Wednesday.

Under the system, over 150 field staff will visit the houses in the municipality limit to collect their location details. This data will be used to create a GIS database and generate digital map of the civic area.

The digital maps and GIS database can be useful for preparation of various master plans for projects in the municipality limits. It can be also used to make a disaster management plan and to streamline traffic flow in the town. The water supply and sewage system planning could also benefit from these data. The pilot project is part of the national level initiative to develop spatial database for various levels of urban planning using modern data sources and to create new urban indices.

The urban information system will work under the National Urban Information System (NUIS) of the ministry of urban development.

The NUIS scheme will focus on two aspects -- collect data required for routine functions called National Urban Databank and Indicators (NUDBI) and develop town level urban database to support development of indices through a network of Local Urban Observatories (LUO).

Generation of digital maps and GIS database under this scheme is being outsourced to Survey of India which will work jointly with National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA).

The Town and Country Planning Organization under the ministry of urban development is the nodal agency for implementation of the scheme.

This is a great news for Malappuram. The Aligarh Muslim University should be backbone of Malappuram development projects in future. The Banaras Hindu University has changed the face of the otherwise pilgrim city of Varanasi.

Hence, Aligarh University can be the next big knowledge destination in Kerala especially for arts, literature, and science subjects.

Report says the tourism department plans to create a Walkway at Ponnai - Chamravattom bridge.

Ponnani harbor will become a safe place for families after this is done.

MALAPPURAM: For the poor and homeless in town, a roof over their head is a life-long desire. Now with the work on a unique township for economically backward classes of society nearing completion in Kainode, this dream is turning into a reality.

Out of 184 houses, 100 are ready to occupy. It will be handed over to the families at a public function to be held in the last week of March. According to municipal authorities, the remaining houses will be ready in four months. Constructed under the theme of 'Green Houses', all houses will have provisions for rainwater harvesting and solar energy.

The municipality had drawn up a list of eligible beneficiaries on the basis of the recommendation of respective ward councillors. After approving the list, the civic body collected Rs 30,000 from each beneficiary as an advance amount to the total cost of Rs 50,000 for each house.

K P Musthafa, municipality chairman, said the houses will have all the facilities including water supply and electricity. Build over an area of 7.5 acres of land owned by the civic body, the total cost of the project is Rs 25 crore. The Centre has granted Rs 17.5 crore under the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme project. Each house will have a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and toilet.

The civic body has already spent Rs 10 crore for the first phase of the project, which was started in 2009. The construction cost of each house is Rs 2 lakh. According to Musthafa, the remaining Rs 7.5 crore out the Central allocation will be insufficient to complete the work.
The civic body is now planning to allocate all the unutilized funds of other projects for this purpose.
All the houses in the township will have lights powered through solar system, which will be installed and maintained by Energy Management Centre (EMC), an agency under the state government.

The beneficiaries will also have the option of an electrical connection. A waste treatment plant also was set up in the area as part of the project. The construction of roads and drainages has been completed. The township will also have storm water drainage, a community centre, an Anganwadi, a playground, and a park.

BDP Wins Two New Masterplanning Projects in Kerala
BDP has been selected to masterplan a convention centre complex and an Edu-Health City on two separate sites in South India.

The projects are part of the government’s initiative via a PPP agency INKEL to create an environment for overall growth of various economic sectors and to develop world class infrastructure in the state of Kerala colloquially described as ‘God’s Own Country’.

Manisha Bhartia, BDP’s India studio leader for urbanism, described the appointment as “a unique opportunity to create an inspiring international place for learning and research and an iconic centre for global business in one of the most verdant and beautiful states of India”.

The Edu-Health City is proposed for Malappuram, which means literally ‘top of the hill’. The project aims to integrate within one campus and one management the facilities of medical care and teaching as well as research and development. It will also explore the possibility of integrating knowledge of traditional and alternative medicine with modern medicine, through the means of scientific research.

The Convention and Exhibition Centre complex is proposed for Ernakulam, a district of Cochin fast developing as a international business and trade centre. The project aims to capture an existing market of IT and workplace hubs located around the site and provide world class support facilities for various businesses.

The project aims to integrate within one campus and one management the facilities of medical care and teaching as well as research and development. It will also explore the possibility of integrating knowledge of traditional and alternative medicine with modern medicine, through the means of scientific research.

The Convention and Exhibition Centre complex is proposed for Ernakulam, a district of Cochin fast developing as a international business and trade centre. The project aims to capture an existing market of IT and workplace hubs located around the site and provide world class support facilities for various businesses.

It seems a huge project. And happy to see the project gets going; rather than staying in the papers itself (the fate of almost all much media hyped projects). :banana::banana:

There is a good chance for EDU HEALTH CITY project to become true. Its going to be a private investment depended project. According to INKEL, plan is to commence the works from 2012 itself, one by one in the 183 acres land and finish by 2017.

conceptual plan is there in facebook page of Malappuram.

The plan is to construct continuous dividers from Girls HSS roundabout till Police Station junction. Wait and see whether this move will decrease the traffic or increase. Because without widening the roads, this dividers will give a negative result.:nuts:

If the Govt. of Kerala is ready to provide 100 acres free land at Panakkad Industrial Growth City, then another prestigious central institution (after Aligarh University) would also be there in Malappuram's kitty.:banana::banana::banana:

Language studies need 100 acres : GOSH. I read it as Industrial Growth City, where these people have sought land. Interesting to see the connection between tara para and Industry.

Language studies need 100 acres : GOSH. I read it as Industrial Growth City, where these people have sought land. Interesting to see the connection between tara para and Industry.

That particular land was there with government for decades and nothing came there till now, neither industry nor any other project. It was with KSIDC as Industrial growth center which was meant to uplift industrially backward districts, before handovering it to inkel. Now its no more an IGC like that in alappuzha or kannur. Inkel could bring any sort of investment there here after through single window clearance.

But its still known locally as IGC. if any other project had come there the name would have chenged by now. always political proclamations of bringing this and that happened and at the end 'malappuram manath nokkum'. Eg: AMU center, National Sports complex, Medicty etc to name a few.


regarding EFLU, without acquiring land from near by areas, i dont think EFLU can be accommodated in Inkel edu health city. coz as per sources the master plan is already created and each and every sent is allotted for specific purposes like Medical college, nursing college, ayurvedic center, business school etc.( all using private investment). Since EFLU is askin 100 acres, without acquisition its not gonna happen or else Inkel will have to come down from its project of Edu-health city and give 100 out of 183 acres of land to EFLU. thats not gonna happen.


Government land Total area: 243
Land Division;

SME park: 60 ( idont knw for what the heck they have given 60 acres for it when district was searching 25 acre land for a government medical college)
Edu health city: 183

Many of the projects coming at calicut and malappuram are mutually beneficial to people of both cities...And 50 to 60 KM distance between both the cities is another advantage..if some good projects like IT parks come near to airport that will again fuel the growth along the Calicut-Malappuram route

Well said Irshad.
We should not look into the boundaries we have in between. Look into a future "Calicut-Malapuram 50km Belt" in all sectors. We already have University, Airport, Kinfra food park, Neo Space etc. in this belt. And soon we will have Edu-Health City, one IT park, 100 Cr. Cancer hospital etc.
And also the proposed Calicut-Karipur-Malapuram-Angadipuram railway line should be constructed.

(It is an extension of Calicut(West Hill)-Airport-Malappuram-Angadipuram line to Ottapalam.CLT-AAM already surveyed)

Angadipuram Road Over Bridge sanctioned.

Adarsh station facility at Parappanangadi.

More funds sanctioned for Melattur -Nilambur track renewal.

Complete funds released for Electronic Signalling works at Nilambur.

More funds for Nilambur yard remodelling and Goods Shed.

CBE-Bikaner and Tirunelveli-Dadar will also help Malabar.
Extension of MAQ-PGT to CBE and MAQ-TVC to NCJ will also help all.

Is the new survey of angadippuram-ottapalam really part of calicut-Malappuram-Angadippuram line?
If yes it means that the line could become a reality in near future.

I don't understand the need of Angadippuram-Ottapalam line. Ottappalam is so close to Shoranur. Instead of this doubling of Shornur line would be better. If it is to part of Calicut-Angadippuram line then the extension should be to Palakkad instead of Ottappalam. That would make a shorter Palakkad-Kozhikode railway line parallel to NH-213.

Or is it like even though shoranur and ottapalam 'stations' are near, the existing line and the proposed one have length differences?

we can see that existing line from shornur to calicut is not a straight one(in maps it has a curvy shape) thus this angadippuram-ottapalam stretch could be useful ryt? but as u said it would have been better if it was angadippuram-palakkad.

Manorama says the new survey is the second phase of CLT-West Hill-MPM-Angadipuram-Palakkad line. But i too don't understand the chemistry behind AAM-OTP while there is already a line b/w AAM & Shoranur.

Is the bottle necks at SRR not enough??????????????

How many trains Byepass SRR??????????

At least Goods trains and FCI Goods from PGT,Angadippuram and WestHill will take the new line.

Which will you choose-Mannarkad Ghat section between Angadipuram and Palakkad or a level gradient between AAM and Ottapalam???

There is perfect level gradient between Perinthalmanna and Palakkad. You must choose state highway via Cherpulassery instead of NH via Mannarkkad. Lot of people especially experienced taxi drivers use that route. Railway line between Angadippuram and Palakkad can be aligned via Cherpulassery.

Railway might be wishing to reduce cost of construction by connecting to Ottappalam. But in long term running cost can be reduced by connecting to Palakkad.

Government approval for Medical College at Manjeri

MALAPPURAM: Ponnani will soon have a heritage village.

The Nila Heritage Village, with a museum, cultural houses, sports complex, and convention centre, is to be commissioned soon. It will be set up near the reservoir area of Chamravattom regulator-cum-bridge (RCB) on the banks of Bharathappuzha.

The irrigation department will set up the village. The District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) has already prepared a project report and design of the village, which would be submitted to the irrigation department soon. Its cost, however, is yet to be estimated.

As per the project report, the village museum will house all the available monuments of Ponnani tradition -- history, lifestyle, contribution to freedom struggle, struggles for existence, trade, harvest festivals, folklore, art, and culture.

The village convention centre will be able to accommodate 1,000 people, and its second floor will have dining space for 400. There will also be 50-seat mini theatre at the centre.

The village will also have 16 suites and five cottages to accommodate tourists.

The museum will occupy 70,700 sq m, and would be constructed on the traditional mode. There is also a kids' park with modern amenities planned in the village.

The sports complex will include a swimming pool, basket ball, shuttle and tennis courts, an indoor stadium and a sports hostel. The proposal also includes a 1,500-capacity amphitheatre. The craft centre will be named after Pakkanar of the 'Parayi Petta Panthirukulam'. It will display works of traditional craftsmen in Ponnani.

The courtyard of the village will face the water. The village will look like a mini forest with a landscape that accommodates trees and plants.

The scheme is intended for the overall development of the under-developed regions in Ponnani, the project report says. It will also help the new generation understand the glorious tradition of the region.

The construction of the village will not require any land acquisition as it is being planned on government land. Moreover, its beneficiaries will be low and middle class families, who can make a living out of it.

All these where there in last budget too except AMU center which became a reality even after many obstacles. :) And Edu-health city is appearing third time in budget.:rock:

good if everything happens as announced.

Budget says government will set up new medical colleges in all districts wherever there is no medical college now. it is high time to devide Malppuram district.

Apart from Ayurvedic University, Malayalam University, Cancer Institute, Edu-Health City, Integrated Institute of Science & Technology (LBSIIST), Tanur Harbour , Malapuram Medical College & Beypore-Karipore Highway; the approval for the new road connecting NH-17 to Malapuram city is quite impressive.
Hence, NH-17 Kanhippura-Kadampuzha-Malapuram road seems to be a creative concept. It would also be a NH-17 - NH-213 byepass, a faster connectivity than NH-17 Changuvetty-Malapuram.

Budget says government will set up new medical colleges in all districts wherever there is no medical college now. it is high time to devide Malppuram district.

K T Jaleel's Tavanoor is cold-shouldered in this Budget. An important proposal during the LDF's regime , Tavanoor - Tirunavaya bridge is not given any money. This project comes under the PWD office located in Manjeri. If Malappuram is restricted to Manjeri it wont do good. Split of Malappuram is not needed, the backward places in Malappuram needs to be allocated more fund, and politics should not hamper the fund allocation.

I think now the district concept itselves will fade away as far malapuram is considered. Now its more on the UA side. Northern part of malapuram is as good as saying kozhikode downtown. Years ahead if metro areas are formed in kerala, this will get more significant.

In first stage there wont be any station as per the sources, but they have considered tirur in second stage of expansion.

but it would be better if Malappuram has station instead of Tirur. ( i know that the line passes through coastal areas of the state. But if kottayam can, which is situated in the midland area as malappuram , y cant the line pass through Malappuram. Jus my thought.

woh ithink u r from malappuram town.. evry one lives in capitals have same mentality.. wheter its a state capital , natinal, or district head quters.. they demand evrything to be happend in their place... as we saw in calicut thread some figts and demands evrything to be at trivandrum as its capital.. like that people from malappuram demants evry offices in dist to be located at mlp as its dist hq

You are right. Am from Malappuram only. but whats wrong in asking?
As u said, people have tendency to argue for development which are capital or HQ centric. In my opinion too, developments should be available for all places. but what if a place is under developed from what it was supposed to be?
In malappuram's case, thats the situation. When all other district HQ develops, why should HQ of Malappuram district only take this avoidance?

Anything comes for the district goes to any other place. what are we suppose to say?
Last year election saw a Malappuram's contestant winning the highest majority in the state. Doesn't malappuram deserve more?

fact is that politicians have never cared about 'Malappuram'.

like that people from malappuram demants evry offices in dist to be located at mlp as its dist hq
There you are wrong. I assume you are from malappuram district probably from tirur. but what makes you think malappuram gets everything?
In malappuram district, its not the way people behave. just take a newspaper during any development proposal time, you'll see tirur guys arguing to bring it to tirur, manjeri people for manjeri and even small angaadies like thirurangadi would demand it. its not just public, MLAs from different places demand for their town. funnier fact is that not even one MLA would say, ''ok let it be at HQ coz every time its any place considered except malappuram''. ( for clarification, check government offices of various departments and their head offices in the district, check divisions for various government purposes, others like AMU center, Sports complex, IIEST,Medical college etc to name a few, u'll see it)

We are seriously pissed off here man.:mad2:

I don't think there is any such intradistrict fight in Kozhikode, but there is visible fight in Malappuram. In the case of AMU campus, it was clear. The reason behind that is Malappuram have 7 municipalities, in which 4 of them - Malapuram, Manjeri, Perinthalmanna & Tirur are equally urbanized. At the same time, in Kozhikode, the no. of towns are less and the parity chemistry b/w those towns are well differed. Calicut is much bigger than Vadakara or Quilandy, hence no chance of bargaining or lobbying. But, i think some regional fight prevails in b/w Kannur & Thalassery in the case of development(pardon me, if i'm wrong).

Now there is no fight between Kannur & Thalassery. Thalassery is like fully lost the battle. Except district court every things is moved to Kannur. Now even private investment in Thalassery is very less compared to Kannur. Upto the mid of nineties Thalassery used to be a major shopping destination in Malabar second only to Kozhikode. There were lot of textile shops. People use to come from distant places like Kanhangad, Kodagu, Wayanad and north Kozhikode. Now all the charm is lost. I think now Payyannur is getting more investment than Thalassery.

in malappuram...the real problem is evryone thinks their town has economically importance... they dont like loss of their priority any smaller towns... for example people at manjery dont like anthing happens at malappuram and perithalmanna.. as they dont like to lose their fame as biggest town in dist at a time... as do tirur.. once it was bigger and nw overtaken by pmna and mjry... they r enthusiastic about kottkkal and malappuram... as kottkkal drags even shoppers at tirur towards them... they fears as they have got some living examples like.. thalaserry, lost fame to kannur.. and kuttippurams dovelopment pulled back by nighbouring edappal and valachery..

As a person who freequently visited/passed through all the major towns in Malappuram district, let me sort all the towns by its business potential and growth in urbanisation, As I observed.
1.Perinthalmanna(plus Angadippuram)
2.Tirur
3. Manjeri
4. Kottakkal (plus Changuvetty,Edarikkode)
5. Edappal
6.Kondotty(Karipur,Pulikkal,Pallickal)
7.Malappuram
8. Ponnani
9. Nilambur
10. Valanchery
The figures and local body status may be different, have a good time , now start fighting :lol:

look at the list... when was your last visit? 5 years back?:lol:

MALAPPURAM: KSRTC will start more services linking major towns of Malappuram with the towns of Wayanad, Kozhikode, and Thrissur.

As a first step, KSRTC started new service from Malappuram to Mananthavady in Wayanad on Tuesday. P Ubaidulla, MLA, inaugurated the service at a function held at KSRTC bus stand at Kunnummal in Malappuram town. The Malappuram-Mananthavady superfast will leave from Malappuram KSRTC bus stand at 7am daily.

Two new town-to-town (TT) services would be started between Malappuram and Thrissur. The Assistant transport officer of Malappuram KSRTC said the route of the TT services would be finalized soon.

A TT service linking Tirur in the district with Kozhikode city would be inaugurated on April 2.

In addition to these, four services linking major towns in the district -- Vengara, Tirur, Parappanangadi, Manjeri and Chemmad -- would be started from April 4. The Parappanangadi-Manjeri ordinary service would be inaugurated at a function to be held at Chemmad in the first week of April, said Sabu John, Assistant Transport Officer, Malappuram KSRTC.

The date of the commencement of the Vengara-Tirur and Parappanangadi-Tirur services is yet to be finalized, said the ATO.

As part of the services linking the district head quarter with the interiors in the district, KSRTC started an ordinary service from Malappuram to Pookottumpadam through the interiors of Kalikavu and Vandur, on Monday. The bus passes through Vandur, Thachangode, Manhappetty, and Chokkadu region. The local people accorded a hearty reception to the bus at Manhappetti town.

ATO said more TT and ordinary services would be started from Malappuram, once the problem of shortage of conductors was resolved.

I agree. Being the promoter of this thread, I could state that is the vision.

Malappuram was constituted 30 years back, in the month of June. It became the 11th District of the State. Parts of the erstwhile Palghat (Ernad & Perinthalmanna Taluks) and Kozhikode (Tirur & Ponnani Taluks) Districts were delinked from the respective Districts to form Malappuram.

During the latter half of the 90s, Ernad (HQ @ Manjeri) was divided into Nilambur & Ernad; while Tirurangady evolved from Tirur. It was a commitment on the part of Mr. AK Antony, who did contest from Tirurangady in a by-election.

Malappuram District has its main railway station at Tirur (26 km from Malappuram) . However, the one at Angadyppuram is the nearest one to the District HQ (18 km). This can be developed to a major hub.

However, a major transport hub of the North Kerala namely, the Karippur (Calicut) Airport is located in this District. So does Malappuram is home to the Calicut University. Malappuram had made significant developments in IT Development.

Malappuram shares its boundaries with Thrissur, Palakkad, Kozhikode & Wayand Districts of Kerala and with the Nilgiri District of Tamil Nadu. Probably Malappuram is the District in Kerala that has the maximum number of district boundaries (after Idukki).

This thread shall be hosting postings related to the various projects & developments as happening in the District.

All are Most WELCOME

This is our vision; let the mission of all forum users match with this.

You said it..Calicut monorail is already gonna reach Karipur just 25 kms away Malapuram. As InKel Edu-Health city, EFLU etc. are going to materialize, the line should extend to Malapuram via Edu-Health City and in a successive phase to Angadipuram/Cherukara (Aligarh Campus). It would become a "Calicut-Malapuram Mega Metro" as Irshad told.

Yousuffali to lay foundation for Kerala tech education hub.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Yousuffali MA, prominent nonresident Indian businessman and director of Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, will lay the foundation stone for a new technical education hub in Kerala Saturday.

Officials said Technorium, being set up by the Ma'din Academy in its sprawling Ma'din Edu Park in Malappuram, will house a cluster of world technical institutions. Ministers, technocrats, scholars and foreign delegates are expected to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

"It's the new hub for higher learning under Ma’din Academy and it will mark a paradigm shift in the way we learn and adopt technological advancements," said Syed Ibraheemul Khaleelul Bukhari, chairman of the group.

The academy, which has signed student exchange programs with a host of foreign universities, also announced a wide range of technical courses at the institutions on this campus. Engineering colleges, courses twinned with international universities and research centre for supervising joint research programs with foreign universities will be part of Technorium campus.

"We at Ma'din chase time-tested technologies and provide ample scope for students to achieve technical wisdom. Technorium is the hub, where the sophisticated technology merges with moral values and humanism," Bukhari said. "It's a great moment for us. The campus, in all means, is an international technical hub for learning and research".

Established in 1997, Ma'din Islamic Academy now has more than 25 educational and various other institutions under its umbrella. It has also set up special centers to teach Spanish and English in Edu Park, which is first of its kind in Kerala.

Jesús Clavero Rodríguez, cultural manager of Spain's Insitituto Cervantes will inaugurate the Ma'din Spanish Academy at a separate session on the day. The Spanish Academy offers an opportunity for foreign language enthusiasts to learn the third most spoken language in the world.

"The goal of the program is to upgrade the five basic skills of language —speaking, listening, reading, writing, translation and interpretation - thus enabling students to acquire a functional command of the most powerful languages," he said.

According to him, Ma'din is at the vanguard of international research collaborations attracting outstanding universities, research staff and students from across the globe to join hands in research and publication.

"Technorium aims at maximizing the benefits of research by advancing fundamental knowledge and contributing to improve public policy, economic prosperity, social consistency, international advancement, community identity, the talents, ethnicity and the excellence of life," he said.

Young Malappuram reaps benefits of population growth


THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state's population control measures have been hailed as a runway success by national policy makers, but it is slowly but surely impacting foreign exchange remittance and labour force. There has been a definite decrease in foreign exchange remittance in central Kerala districts like Kottayam and Pathanamthitta - where there was a negative population growth rate- as compared to high decadal population growth in districts like Malappuram and Kannur.

The remittance in Pathanamthitta came down from Rs 2,211 crore to Rs 2,079 crore between 2008 and 2011, while remittances in Malappuram increased by 39% from Rs 6,486 crore to Rs 9,040 crore in the same period. Last year, Kerala's total remittance was Rs 49,695 crore, with around 20% remittance coming from Malappuram alone.

Census figures show that population growth declined by 3% in the age group of 20 and 34 in Pathanmthitta, while the population in Malappuram increased by 4% in the same age group in the last decade. Overall, there was an 18% increase in population in Malappuram, while Pathanmthitta saw a negative population growth in the last ten years.

"Decline of population growth in Pathanamthitta has directly impacted the foreign remittance in that district. Malappuram's is witnessing a population growth in its younger generation, so the remittances have gone up," said Centre for Development Studies chair professor Dr S Irudaya Rajan.

Districts like Kottayam saw a meagre 1% population growth and there was just 6%increase in remittance during the last three years. Demographers say a majority of migrants are in the below 35 age group and there is a huge shortage of manual and skilled labour in United Arab Emirates, which forms of the bulk of migrant work force from Kerala. "The migrant labour force mainly comprises people in the age group of 20 and 35. If we co-relate the census data and remittance figures, it is clear there is a huge shortage of labour in central and south Kerala,'' said Dr Rajan.

He along with K C Zachariah has now published a new study on 'inflexion in Kerala's gulf connection' that studied the changing demographic pattern in migration over the last ten years. "Nearly 40% of Kerala's emigrants live in UAE and 25% in Saudi Arabia. In the last 3 years, especially, after global crisis, Saudi Arabia has gained about 2% points and UAE has lost out by the same proportion,'' Dr Rajan said. It is estimated around 2.28 million Keralites live abroad now, as compared to 2.19 million people three years ago.

Dr Rajan said around 85% the emigrants are in the younger age group.

"If women are excluded, the corresponding proportion would be as much as 90-95%,'' he said. Concurs associate professor of Tata Institute of Social Science in Mumbai D P Singh, "If any state has a large number of young, employable youngsters, it represents an opportunity for economic growth. A mega city like Mumbai was built on the sweat and labour of migrants,'' he said.

The 7.5-metre-wide bridge-cum-regulator has 70 shutters. The project is expected to irrigate 4,344 hectares in the two taluks.

It will provide water to nine lift-irrigation schemes in the region. The project has made available 63.5 mld of drinking water in the region, sources said.

The road distance between Kochi and Kozhikode stands reduced by 40 km, between Ponnani and Tirur by 20 km, and between Ponnani and Malappuram by 10 km. V.P. Sulabha, District Information Officer, said the project would bring about a boom in religious tourism by bringing more people to places like the Ayyappa Temple, Chamravattom; Nava Mukunda Temple, Tirunavaya; Bhagavati Temple, Vairankode; Siva Temple, Thriprangode; Hanuman Temple, Alathiyur; Garudan Kavu; Thunchanparamba, Tirur; Juma Masjid and Maqdoom Shrine at Ponnani; Umer Qasi Shrine at Veliyamkode; and Beevi Shrine at Puthuponnani.

It took nearly 50 years for the project to materialise after it was conceived.

A feasibility study was held in 1977. A project report estimating Rs.15.81 crore was submitted to the government in 1983.

A foundation stone was laid in 1984 but the project remained in limbo for another 25 years.

MALAPPURAM: With an eye on the Emerging Kerala 2012 meet to be held in September at Kochi, the Infrastructure Kerala Limited (Inkel) has readied the master plan for the Rs 3,000-crore Medi City project at Panakkad.

Inkel plans to woo multinational investors during the meet to be organized by the state government.

Modern hospitals with comprehensive medical treatment facilities, institutions for medical training and education, and medical equipment manufacturing units, will be part of the multi-crore project.

According to Inkel secretary P Padmadasan, the official procedures for the approval of the master plan have been completed.

"The entrepreneurs including international players will invest in the project would be announced at the investors' meet," he said.

Inkel hopes that big players will evince interest in the project whose master plan was finalized by a Delhi-based international consultancy agency.The initial steps to set up the Medi City in land given by the industrial department were taken a year ago.

The Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) had announced that the project will be a joint venture with Inkel.

The master plan proposes to set up vocational and management education, centres for pharma and bio-technology studies, an international school with residential area and a multi-service park. The project is expected to be completed in four years.

KSIDC has already handed over about 250 acres of proposed land to Inkel.

The work to build a small-scale industrial park and a community college, which are not part of the Medi City has already begun.

presently,
at Malappuram Inkel land, Government has plan to establish Edu-Health city which would include institutions like Cancer hospital, Multispeciality hospital, College of pharmacy,engineering,business school, inetrnational school, Hotel, Recreation center, Center for ayurveda etc. Evrything under private investment which is expected after emerging kerala investors meet.
So these are all 'dependant project' in other words projects which might or might not come based on investors response.

coming to edu health city land, Government has allotted 50 acres(another 50 after commencement according to inkel) at present for EFLU center. which is very much likely to happen once EFLU officials shows green card on the land.

There is enough unused land around the proposed area with private parties which no one were interested to buy till recently.

All these are sub projects under EDU-HEALTH CITY, a major project of Inkel.

I dont think Malappuram would have got this much as individual projects (Many of them are inter related projects) if it wasn't 'EDU-HEALTH CITY' proposed for Malappuram.

Also need to be noted that these are just proposals which inevitably depends on investors response after 'Emerging Kerala Meet'.

Construction of Ponnani port to be delayed

MALAPPURAM: The proposed cargo port in Ponnani is likely to be delayed by another six months.

Construction can start only after the ministry of environment conducts an environmental impact study during the monsoon.

The project has already received administrative and technical sanctions from the government.

Ponnani port officer A V Kuriakose said the ministry had already informed the port office about the environmental impact study.

The government signed an agreement last September with Malabar Ports Private Ltd (MPPL) for the construction of the initial phase of the port at an estimated cost of Rs 763 crore. The total project cost is more than Rs 2,000 crore.

According to the agreement, Malabar Ports will pay royalty of 2.75% to the state during the first 15 years and 4.5% in the next 15 years. It authorizes the MPPL to develop and operate the port for 30 years. The deal was signed in the presence of the then port minister K Babu.

The proposed all-weather port is expected to speed up the all-round development of Malappuram, Palakkad and Thrissur, and also prop up the Coimbatore-Palakkad industrial belt.

The port will have both rail and road connectivity between Thirunnavaya and Ponnani for the movement of cargo to hinterlands.

The proposed port will be the first in Kerala to be constructed through Pubic Private Partnership (PPP) as well as the first to complete its tender processes according to the Swiss Challenge method. It will also be first port in India to be developed by reclaiming land from the sea.

MALAPPURAM: Muslim League is trying to secure district status for Tirur and the second-largest party in the ruling UDF is all set to start a campaign to bifurcate Malappuram to realize this dream.

Last week, nine UDF ruling panchayats of Malappuram and two municipalities - Ponnani and Tirur - passed a resolution demanding district status for Tirur.

District general secretary of IUML P Abdul Hameed said the party will prepare a comprehensive master plan for the development of Malappuram and the formation of a new district would be a major proposal. "We will hold several rounds of informal discussions with ministers and MLAs and seek suggestions. But it is too early to announce this proposal," he said.

The campaign for district status was started by Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) in 2010. Though they had launched a campaign for the same, the organization failed to win the support of political parties including IUML. SDPI had demanded a new district with Tirur, Tirurangadi and Ponnani taluks and some portion of Chavakkad region.

However, Hameed claimed the campaign was first started by IUML. We introduced the idea years ago and SDPI cannot own it, he said. The party is considering a suggestion of merging Tirurangadi, Tanur, Tirur, Ponnani, Tavanur, Chavakkad and Thrithala to form a new district.

"We have districts with 8 lakh populations. As the population of Malappuram is more than 44 lakh, the formation of new district will ensure that various development projects are implemented effectively," he said.

Malappuram: If everything goes according to the plan of Indian Union Muslim League(IUML) the second largest party in ruling United Democratic Front(UDF) , the state will have a 15th district, with Tirur head quarter soon.

It is learnt that the Muslim League showed a green signal for the intense campaign for a new district bifurcating Malappuram district. As part of the first step to start the campaign, nine UDF ruling panchayats in the coastal region of Malappuram district and two Municipalities, Ponnani and Tirur, passed a resolution demanding Tirur district last week.

The party has already decided to prepare a comprehensive master plan for the development of the different areas in Malapuram district. According to party sources, the formation of new Tirur district would be a major proposal in the plan.

The campaign for a new Tirur district, was started by Social Democratic Party of India(SDPI) in 2010. Though they launched a campaign across Malabar demanding Tirur district, the organisation failed to win wide support from other political parties and organisations including Muslim League. SDPI had demanded a new district with Tirur, Tirurangadi and Ponnani Taluks and some portion of Thrissur district, in Chavakkad region.

However, the district general secretary of Muslim League Hameed Master said, the campaign was first started by Muslim League, and the party has power to make the new district a reality, as the IUML is the largest party in ruling front. 'We introduced the idea years ago, and SDPI cannot own it' he said.

He said, the party has already started the home work regarding the formation of new district and we will announce the detailed proposal after the discussion with organisations and political parties. 'We hold several rounds of informal discussions regarding this. Ministers and MLAs also gave suggestions. But it is too early to announce the proposal of the party', he said.

One of the suggestion under the consideration of the party is to form new district with five constituencies, Tirurangadi, Tanur, Tirur, Ponnani, Tavanur, in coastal region of Malappuram district and Chavakkad region of Thrissur and Thrithala constituency in Palakkad district.

'We have districts with 8 lakh populations . As the population of Malappuram is more than 44 lakhs, the formation of new district will make the implementing various development projects more easy, he said.

aisa nahin ho sakta..:ohno::ohno::ohno:

IUML..plz don't do this to Malappuram...:ohno:
We are just started to get something now..and if once bifurcated, we will loose the strength to bargain na..:ohno:

So that is going to happen at last. A new district after 20 years. If IUML can get an new district from EMS then Chandy is verum Kunjunju. :lol:

Btw Chavakkad in Tirur district means Guruvayoor also will be taken out of Thrissur district. Thrissurians will oppose with tooth and nail.

Noooo....We dont want Malappuram to be bifurcated. But if at all its necessary why cant these guys do it with taking perinthalmanna and ottapalam etc out of Malappuram n Palakkad??.

Why? You don't want Perinthalmanna in Malappuram?

Why? You don't want Perinthalmanna in Malappuram?

:) Its not that we want to loose perinthalmanna desperately. if perinthalmanna n ottapalam can form a district it would benefit palakkad district also. Above all, Malappuram without its coastal area, i cant even imagine. :bash::bash::bash:
Malappuram is a major district which has all type of land in abundance.

Chavakkad and GVR should not be joined to Malappuram dt.

We are not talking about joining these places to Malappuram Dt.
Its about new district, and if you are serious about loosing those places what should we call our situation?

Very bad move from IUML. It will chop down the overall development of the area for atleast some years.:bash: As said before if there is a big need for a new district it is good to see a valluvanadu district headquartered at Perinthalmanna.
Since the people of Ottappalam and Shornur are highly depended on PMNA in the medical field and all, it will not be a big issue.

But Tirur is not having that level of acceptability even with people of Ponnani itself. Then I dont know how they are mingling these Chavakkad/Guruvayur/Thrithala sections with Tirur.:ohno:

From my personal experience Tirur don't have the 'maturity' to be a district H.Q.:)

If these people are considering all theses criteria then most 0f the northern parts of MLP disrtict will be in Calicut district. But politicians will consider the 'national bank of vote' only.:)

^^ Did Malappuram had that 'maturity' when it became District HQ? അതൊക്കെ വന്നോളും. Tirur has a major railway station and is now in the main road to Kozhikode after Chamravattom bridge has opened. പിന്നെ തിരൂര്* ജില്ല എന്ന് കേള്*ക്കാന്* ഒരു സുഖം ഒക്കെ ഉണ്ട്. പെരിന്തല്*മണ്ണ ജില്ല അയ്യേ..

'perinthalmanna' ennu kelkkan sughamilla ennathu neru thanne, but pathanamthitta enna perokke sheelicha malayalikk athoru keeramuttiyavum ennu thonnunnilla.
Also ottapalam people wants it to be 'ottapalam' district.
anyway to my personal openion, its not good to bifurcate Malappuram at present. This district can reach much heights if remains 'one'.

PS: Othu pidichal Malayum porum.
