$15 million was invested by the D E Shaw group in 2008 in Soham Renewable Energy India for financing its expansion proposal during the next five years. Commitments have also been obtained from a Connecticut, USA-headquartered fund, FE Clean Energy Asia, which included three active funds in Singapore, Eastern Europe and in Latin America.

This power producing company is at present in the process of implementing a mini hydel project on the Cauvery River in Mandya District, Karnataka, the Mahadevapura Mini Hydel Scheme. This project comprises of an intake channel, a gated weir, tail race channel, power house and a 66 kV transmission corridor. All permits and necessary clearances have been acquired. It is also going to implement a 17 mw mini hydel power unit at Mudabidri in the Dakshina Kannada District. Seven other projects are also being planned in the Karnataka state. With a growing economy, India’s energy demands would also grow rapidly and surpass the supply and hence the increasing dependence on overseas investors and private local players for expansion of the infrastructure and renewable energy projects.

RGUHS campus in Ramanagaram -

BANGALORE: The State Government has made it clear that the new campus of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) will come up in Ramanagaram near Bangalore.

Principal Government Advocate Basavaraj Kareddy made the statement on Friday when a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice J.S. Khehar and Justice A.S. Pacchapure was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) petition relating to the setting up of the RGUHS campus at Archakarahalli in Ramanagaram.

Delay questioned

Nalini Navaneesh and several other residents of Suggenahalli near Ramanagaram had moved the court against the delay in shifting the RGUHS campus.

They apprehended that RGUHS might not be shifted and it may continue in its present location in Jayanagar, Bangalore.

They said that in 2007 the State Government had decided to shift RGUHS to Archakarahalli and reserved 30 acres of land for it. Subsequently, the Government issued notification acquiring 200 acres of land.

With the Government stating that RGUHS would come up at Archakarahalli, the Division Bench took it on record and disposed of the petition.

Bigger, better national highway soon

A major development project for NH 212 is in prospect. Over 150.80 km stretch between the Kerala border (starting at 117.60 km) and ending at Kollegal (at 268.40 km) in the state would be developed into two and four lanes.

An estimated cost of the project is around Rs 440 crore and five firms have been short-listed for bidding. The process of acquiring lands is on and once the finance ministry gives its green signal it would be developed on war-footing. The increasing industries in Mysore, especially around Nanjangud, along with increased tourists and inter-state vehicles have resulted in traffic problems on the narrow stretch. Adding to this, frequent accidents on the highway snarl up traffic for hours. The highway connects to Tamil Nadu and Kerala and the passenger car unit on the road is around 33,000.

The proposed project will be a blessing to the tourism sector in Mysore and Chamarajanagar districts besides facilitating economic growth in the vicinity.

Meanwhile, no development project is pending pertaining to upgradation of state highways as well as major district roads. The state government had proposed to implement toll collection on selected SHs and MDRs but was dropped following public outcry.

Proposed project details of NH 212

Bandipur forest reserve: Two-lane of 7 mts width with earthen shoulder (18.8 km road)

Bandipur forest reserve to Gundlupet town: Two-lane of 10 mts width with paved shoulders (15.9 km)

Gundlupet town: Four-laning of 15 mts width with covered drains (2 km area)
Gundlupet to Nanjangud: Two-lane of 10 mts width with paved shoulders (34 km)

Nanjangud to Mysore city: Four-lane of 15 mts width with paved shoulders (26.5 km)

Mysore to T Narasipura: Two-lane of 10 mt width with paved shoulders (24.6 km)

T Narasipura to Uttamballi junction: Two-lane of 7 mts width with earthen shoulders (26 km)

Citizens unhappy over substandard civil works
Mandya, Feb 14, DHNS:

The poor quality of works on footpaths and the storm water drains in city has invited flak from various quarters.

As the City Municipal Council (CMC) implements various development works, footpath and storm water drains constructed is under scanner.

Though, these works appear to meet the required standards, a close watch exposes the lapses and substandard works. The CMC begun the construction of box type drains on Vivekananda road. But, the bricks have been arranged shoddily which paves way for the fast deterioration of the ceiling laid on the drain. It should be recalled that the Kannada activists had launched an agitation condemning the low standard works. However, the poor quality continues to be a feature of the civil works implemented across the city, despite assurance from the officials to act against the contractors executing poor projects.

According to the citizen’s forum, the footpath laid on the storm water drains would wash away due to rains in the coming days.

These projects are being implemented under the Chief Minister’s ` 100 crore programme to improve infrastructure in cities and towns.

However, Executive Engineer Sheshagiri said the two bricks were laid using a mud and claimed that the CMC was monitoring the quality of the works implemented.

CM allots 10 cores for Melkote development

[engineer.akash]

MANDYA: The agriculture district of Mandya got its expected share in state budget. The allocations of Rs 15 crore for the rejuvenation of state-owned Mysugar Mill and shared Rs 2.50 crore with Belgaum district for the establishment of Sugarcane Research Centre have not surprised the farmers at all. Reason: This is not a first time that CM B S Yeddyurappa had given money to debt-ridden mill. Also, the setting up of the research centre near Mandya city on a sprawling 100 acres of land, was already announced by district in-charge minister R Ashoka, a month ago.

"Yes, we are happy but not surprised about the allocation of money to Mysugar mill. Yeddyurappa had, in many occasions, assured us about the allocation of considerable amount of money for its rejuvenation. As far as the Sugarcane Research Centre is concerned, we really should be very thankful towards the government as it will help farmers to grow scientifically-enriched new sugarcane breeds in their fields," said Konasale Narasaraju, a farmer leader.

Mysugar Mill president Nagarajappa expressed his gratitude to Yeddyurappa for conceding his request to release the money in budget. According to him, Yeddyurappa had given Rs 70 crore in 2009-10 and Rs 20 crore in 2010-11 budgets exclusively for the modernization of mill. However, the government has released only Rs 25 crore, while the remaining amount has been reserved with the government itself, he added.

The above are the photographs of backwaters of cauvery and sri venugopalaswamy temple at Hosa kannambaadi village, near KRS, Mysore. do you know the temple’s speciality? it is a transplanted temple! let me explain.

the temple was built in 12th century AD. when the KRS dam was built, it got submerged in the backwaters of cauvery. but whenever the water level came down in the dam, the temple used to become visible. people decided to save the temple from eroding due to water currents and hence thought of relocating elsewhere. it seems, Khodays Foundation took up this project of relocating the temple. each stone was numbered carefully, the whole temple was photographed for the intricate designs on those stones, stored in computer so that when it got transplanted, it would not lose its originality. number of architects and sculptors have done a beautiful job of reconstructing the temple. people say it may take two more years for its completion. then they would perhaps do the ‘punar pratishtaana’ of sri venugopalaswamy and then the temple would become functional.
