Now Karnataka plugs into hardware biz

BANGALORE: After taking big strides in the software sector, the state is now aiming to make a mark in hardware.
Releasing the ‘Electronic Hardware Policy 2011 and the Information and Communications Technology Policy (ICT: 2.0 ) 2011’ at the IT Biz curtain raiser on Monday in Bangalore, Minister for Large and Medium Scale Industries, Murugesh Nirani said four new corridors operating on the lines of the Special Economic Zones had been identified.
The four new corridors were Bangalore-Tumkur, Shimoga-Hassan, Hubli- Dharwad and Mysore-Nanjangud.
“There would be a mobile manufacturing and assembling region over 100 acres near Bangalore International Airport,’’ Nirani said and added that preliminary notification in this regard had been given. “A Destination Karnataka Team would be set up,’’ he said, adding that the state electronics innovation fund, with an initial funding of `25 crore, aims to help entrepreneurs for developing vendor resources with a focus on indigenisation of quality pooling for electronic products. “All this will take effect within two months,” he added.
Highlighting the areas of concern, in terms of growth, Sharad Sharma, who chairs the Nasscom Product Forum, said, “Bangalore is not punching at its weight class.” He said their forum had predicted the IT business to grow to $225 billion by 2020 and that much of the growth would come from areas that the city was not involved in.
He said the city and industry needed to explore options “which demonstrate meaningful growth”.
He said many of the major mobile and Internet companies were based in Delhi.
CEO and co-chairman designate of Infosys, Kris Gopalakrishnan, said the state contributed 30 per cent of the country’s IT exports

Nirani said, the government has received fresh investment proposals amounting to an investment of Rs 32,000 crore and they would be taken up for clearance during the high-level clearance committee headed by chief minister later this month.

The new proposals include projects from Hero Motors and Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India (HMSI). Both two-wheeler companies have proposed to set up their manufacturing units in the state. Hero Motors has sought land near Dharwad while the HMSI has identified two places in Tumkur and Kolar districts, he said.

BS

Looks like Hero motors is planning something in Dharwad.

Hubli-Dharwad the second biggest city of our state is getting prominence under BJP's rule. Mysore has always been promoted as second biggest which is wrong,let me remind all that it is the 4 biggest corporation in our state.Second biggest being Namma Hubbali-Dharwad after bengaluru.

@ Akash

My dear friend Akash as u said H-D is the Second Biggest Corporation in terms of area but the question is on what basis the cities are ranked to say big or Small?

Whether it is Corporation area limits?
Or City Constructed area?
Or City Population(Urban Agglomeration)?

If u analyse the stats of many Indian Cities u can see that the Urban Agglomeration and City Constructed area are Considerd to Judge how big the city is.

If u Consider the Corporation area limits its H-D the Second Biggest in Karnataka.
But if U consider the City Population(Urban Agglomeration) and City Constructed area Mysore Is the Second Biggest City In Karnataka

U have mentioned that Mysore has always been Promoted has Second biggest city, and its wrong….
NO Akash its not wrong its correct and it’s a fact
Akash we cant dispute the Facts.

I request Mr.Akash and to all My friends of H-D to analyse the facts and links which I have quoted below.

According to 2001---

Corporation area of H-D ---- 202.28 Sq Km
Constructed area of H-D ----72 Sq Km
Road Lenth of H-D ----------595 Km

Corporation area of Mysore ---- 128.42 Sq Km
Constructed area of Mysore ----95 Sq Km
Road Lenth of Mysore ----------1093 Km

So the constructed area of Mysore City is more than 20 Sq Km of H-D that means almost 25% more than H-D.
Then the road length of Mysore is almost the double of H-D.

Then the Urban Agglomeration Of Mysore is more than H-D according to 2001.

If u properly analyse and study about other major Cities in India it seems that whether the city is big or small is not judge by Corporation area, its judge by the city Population and City Constructed area.

Moreover Just search in google to know which is the ‘second biggest city of karnataka’.
Majority websites says Mysore is the Second Biggest City.


Please go thru the stats of two Major Cities of Maharastra, infact Major cities in our country.

My question is Which is the Biggest city in Maharashtra?
Is it Mumbai or Pune?

Pune Metropolitan area ---1109.69 Sq Km
Greater Mumbai Area is 603 Sq Km.

Now do u consider Pune is bigger than Mumbai?
Or Pune is the Biggest city In Maharastra?

Please chk the links for statistics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pune

So in Maharashtra Pune is the Biggest Conurbation and Mumbai is the Biggest City likewise in Karnataka Mysore is the Second Biggest City and
H-D is the Second Biggest Conurbation.

Obviously Everyone will love their city and have emotional attachment, and its not wrong… but I request everyone before posting about any matter pls analyse the facts and stats and don’t be emotional.

Friends what all I have quoted are stats which are available in many related Websites, and they are not my assumptions or not my own thoughts or views or as Akash said im not Promoting Mysore as the Second Biggest and moreover I don’t have anything against H-D.

The main reason to post this is… In Many forums and in many people’s mind this issue has not yet clarified, So My intension is clarify as far as possible and not to hurt anybody.

After going thru all these still many people will be having a question mark in their Mind for that still u can analyse following City Area limits

Chennai Metro------------------- 1189 Sq Km
Kolkata --------------------------1480 Sq Km
Delhi -----------------------------1483 Sq Km
Hyderabad------------------------ 650 Sq Km
Kanpur Metropolitan Area-----------1642 Sq Km

If u Consider Corporation area to Judge the City big or Small status then according to above City stats Chennai, Hyderabad are bigger than Mumbai and Kanpur is the Biggest City of Our Country…….

Now do u Consider Kanpur as the Biggest City In India?

Majority of the stats are according to 2001 Census and 2011 City stats are not yet released....and as mentioned in some Website the Estimated 2011Population of Mysore is larger than H-D, almost morethan 1 lkh.

But finally……..

I do agree that if u Consider Corporation area then H-D is the Second Biggest but all the cities are ranked according to their Urban agglomeration and City constructed area…So if u go by that then
Mysore is the Second Biggest City in Karnataka.

Dear Akash I appreciate ur active participation in all the threads and ur valuable time for the same but till now I have not noticed any post by u without proper analysys except once that was very long back but this time I don’t agree with u my friend.

I don’t Know Akash if my analysys are wrong pls correct me with proper stats and links………

Have a great time My friend.

H-D is the Second Biggest Conurbation.

Hi! Raj welcome back bro,long time.

Raj, I actually meant Corporation area limits.:-)No doubt Mysore is the densest city after Bangalore in our state.My mistake that I did not use the term "Conurbation" or I should have been more specific in saying corporation limits.Will take care of that in future.

The coastal city of Mangalore will wear a new hue from September as the city gets ready to become the first city in the state, if not the country, to go the CFL way — completely.

Mangalore City Corporation, which is the third largest city corporation in the state, will wipe out all sodium vapour streetlight units and replace them with CFL units by September, becoming the first city to be fully equipped with power-saving units.

DNA

Hubli-Dharwad - Second,Mangalore- Third and Mysore - Fourth, based on Corporation limits.

I normally view corporation limit as a prime parameter to study city's finances(revenue and spending).If commercial activities are spread out over large areas(well spread in a city) it makes sense to expand corporation limits to cover those.

[rajkannadiga.]

@ Akash

I will try Akash.....
Actually i go thru this forum once in a week or fortnight,i dont get much time.

Many times i have noticed the debate about this issue not only in online but in many places, and the debate will be fueled with JNNURM project.......
and in AAB forum and in some other online discussions i have seen the same, most of the time i will not comment.....

I belive u r one of the sensible active participants in SSC...but u quoted that Always Mysore has been Promoted as Second Biggest........that made me to write regarding that matter.......now u have clarified that u must have mentioned as Conurbation........
fine Akash but even eventhough if u are specific by saying Conurbation in ur statement i never find anywhere or anybody promoting Mysore as the Second Biggest Corporation......

Anyways keep updating latest news about Whole Karnataka......

Have a great time friend....

Hubli to have pack house for fruits, vegetables soon

Rs 11.5-cr facility is built on farmers' participatory mode

Hubli, June 20:
A modern cold chain and export pack house facility under public-private participation mode is to come up at Hubli's Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) yard at Amargol.

The Rs 11.5-crore facility is being built under the Assistance to States for Developing Export Infrastructure and Allied Activities scheme and is to cater to the needs of north Karnataka region.

The new facility will have a ripening chamber for mangoes, banana and other fruits, cold storage, pre-cooling, grading, packing, waxing, transport and dry godown besides Research and development unit.

According to Dr. R.R. Hanchinal Vice-Chancellor, UAS, Dharwad, “Agriculturists in north Karnataka face many problems due to climate change. More so, the problems are acute in the area of marketing due to violent price fluctuations.

“In order to safeguard the interest of the farmers and to provide assistance in marketing a cell — Agri Business and Export Knowledge Centre” was initiated few years ago. This centre actively lobbied with the government to get the facility to Hubli.”

The proposed facility will help in export promotion, create employment, enhance income levels and also strengthen the bargaining power of farmers.

The unit will also act as a complementary to many business units and make Hubli a hub for marketing agriculture and horticulture produce.

“The Agri-Business and Export Knowledge Centre of UAS-Dharwad partnered with Safal Mango Growers Association to take up the cause with the Karnataka State Agricultural Produce Processing and Export Corporation (KAPPEC) and Visvesvaraya Industrial Trade Centre (VITC) to get Rs 11.5 crore funding,” said Dr S.B. Hosamani, Head Agri-Business and Export Knowledge Centre.

The Agri-Business and Export Knowledge Centre is expected to drive volumes for the new facility by organising commodity-wise growers' associations in different locations on the lines of Amul in Gujarat, Nandini and Safal in Karnataka.

The idea of establishing a cold chain facility at Hubli was mooted and a team comprising Dr S.B. Hosamani, Dr N.R. Mamle Desai, Dr C.J. Savanurmath, and Mr C.R. Sorghavi was formed.

The team took the lead and got technical help from Maharashtra State Marketing Board, Jain Irrigation, Horticulture Training Centre and Irradiation Unit at Lasalgoan to prepare the project.

The foundation stone for the facility will be laid on Tuesday in the presence of senior State ministers, Mr Jagadeesh Shettar, Mr Murugesh Nirani, Mr Umesh Katti, Mr Basavarj Bommai and MPs.

Plan for bus corridors may be put on the road today

Bangalore: Three years after feasibility studies, the ambitious Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) is all set to get off the drawing board. The state cabinet is expected to clear the project for implementation in Bangalore, Mysore and Hubli-Dharwad on Thursday. The BRTS is expected to provide speedy, comfortable and affordable means of transport in the state's rapidly expanding cities.

The Comprehensive Transport and Traffic Plan for Bangalore proposes that BRTS can be implemented on 291.5 km of road in the city. Implementing the BRTS in the city is expected to cost Rs 3,498 crore, and the work will be carried out in two phases, along 14 corridors. The first phase of the project will see the development of the BRTS on the Outer Ring Road, as a pilot project, connecting Hebbal and the Central Silk Board junction, a distance of 35 km.

The BRTS envisages operating high-tech, low-floor buses in large numbers. This would motivate regular commuters to shift to public transport on a regular basis. The 35-km stretch of the Ring Road from Hebbal to Silk Board has 17 junctions, and these are set to be modified to accommodate dedicated bus lanes, so that movement is smooth and without interruption. The bus lanes will be located in the middle of the road.

On its part, the Bangalore Development Authority is already constructing underpasses and flyovers at all intersections on the Ring Road to accommodate dedicated bus corridors.

The BRTS project would cover Mysore and Hubli-Dharwad too. In tier-2 cities, the BRTS is expected to cost approximately Rs 500 crore.

Ahmedabad already has a BRTS system, and 25 buses ply on a 12.5-km stretch, from RTO to Chandra Nagar in that city.

Hi rajkannadiga..goin by the facts urban agglomeration of H-D is more than mysore n in corpoartion limit also H-D leads...only in construction area it is behind...here is the link which u can check n verfiy..
http://esa.un.org/wup2009/unup/index.asp?panel=2
so its debatable which city is biggest..but i would say mysore is more developed n clean n wel maintained city..
as akash had once clarified me as to y JNNURM went to mysore..it was for its heritage prosperity... mysore is more industialised...

irrespective of which is bigger its mysore which is leading..so i would say that its high time the govt should also concentrate n come out of this banglore n mysore centric development..it should implement all the projects which r just on papers...also pressurise the centre to include H-D in JNNURM...none of the IT SEZ have been materealised in H-D...the infra at the aryabhatta tech park which is spraed across 25 acres is in very poor condition..lacking basic IT needs..there is vast acres of barren land between H-Droad n also along bypass...y the govt always says that it dosen hav land..
they can give it to It companies..SEZ's should come up..with prominent companies..
the pity part is in the IT park,Hubli.....footwear n garment shops hav come up...this is the worst thing that can happen...

i agree that in BJP's rule H-D is getting something..but most of them r on papers..they sould immedaitely start implementing them..they should be successful in attracting one IT gaint..the others will follow..

CM plans big for twin cities
TNN Jun 13, 2011, 10.15pm IST (Times Of India)

HUBLI: Chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Monday directed the officials to prepare a master plan for the comprehensive and planned growth of the twin cities, while keeping in mind the next 50 years.

Speaking after laying a foundation stone for housing complexes to be built by Karnataka Housing Board here, he asked the officials to take steps in this regard. "Hubli-Dharwad is being developed as the second-biggest destination after Bangalore in the state. Hubli airport is being developed as an international airport. There is no dearth for funds for development," he said.

The CM said a lot of development has taken place in Hubli-Dharwad in the last three years. "The twin cities are getting importance with regard to development. I have sanctioned everything that was asked by (ministers) Jagadish Shettar, C M Udasi and Basavaraj Bommai. Works which would have taken place in 20 years have been done in only three years," he claimed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Manoj you are right. See above news. If it is done according to the news. Then it will be good. But it will not happen.
