http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/d...796173e.jpgThe general body meeting of the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation, held for the first time in Dharwad on Thursday, failed to take major decisions on solving civic and infrastructure-related problems in the city.

As in the previous general body meetings, chaos prevailed and councillors shouted at one another over petty issues. At one point, Dasharath Vali of the Congress pushed a table aside and walked out of the meeting.

When the issue related to renovation of the Supermarket in Dharwad and Mahatma Gandhi Market in Hubli came up for discussion, councillors, including Leader of the Opposition Deepak Chinchore, Janata Dal (S) member Rajanna Korvi and Congress member Ganesh Tagargunti, sought to know that reason for the delay.

Plan being reworked

HDMC Commissioner K.V. Trilok Chandra said the corporation had submitted a joint venture plan to the Government seeking funds for renovating the Supermarket. However, the Government rejected it and asked for a plan under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The plan was being reworked, he said.

Floor Leader Veeranna Savadi said discussions were on with the Government, and the Supermarket would be reconstructed on the lines of a similar facility in Shimoga. The HDMC would seek government assistance as the project would require nearly Rs. 30 crore, he said.

However, Mr. Chinchore and other members said steps should be taken to improve basic amenities at the market instead of waiting for the commencement of the new project.

Mayor Poorna Patil instructed officials to improve roads leading to the market, provide drinking water facility, and improve drainage system and others amenities in the Supermarket area.

The issue of whether to allow public functions at Nehru Stadium in Hubli or to reserve the facility only for sports activities also dominated the meeting.

Opposition parties said that the stadium should be reserved only for sports activities. Organising private or public functions or political programmes at the stadium could damage the facility which had been renovated at the cost of Rs. 1.2 crore, they said.

However, Mr. Savadi said there was no alternative place for conducting public functions in Hubli. Restricting the stadium only for sports activities could be challenged in court, he said, and demanded that both sports activities and public functions be allowed at the stadium with strict monitoring.

Rent hiked

After a long debate, the meeting resolved to hike the stadium rent from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1 lakh and double the deposit amount. Officials in-charge of maintaining the stadium should penalise those hiring the facility if there was any “serious damage” to it.

JD(S) councillor Altaf Nawaz Kittur drew flak of BJP councillors and the Mayor for his alleged derogatory remarks. There was commotion in the council hall after Mr. Kittur spoke.

Taking serious note of this, Mr. Savadi and 37 BJP councillors demanded that the Mayor send him out of the meeting hall or he tender an apology.

However, when Mr. Kittur refused to apologise, he was taken outside the hall by the marshals.

Earlier, councillors paid tributes to those killed in the bomb blast in the Delhi High Court complex and observed two minutes' silence to mourn the death of Youth Congress leader Vishwaprakash Ullagadimath and the former cricketer Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi.

Councillors congratulated writer Chandrashekar Kambar for getting the Jnanpith award. The meeting decided to accord him a civic felicitation.

Hubli to be promoted as the next IT hub

HUBLI, OCT. 3:
The Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (Keonics) is once again making efforts to push north Karnataka as the next IT hub in the State.

With Bangalore's saturation and companies looking for alternate locations for expansion, the Keonics has woken up to promote Hubli as an IT destination. In order to tap investments, it has lowered the rentals at IT Park Hubli.

Keonics quoted the NASSCOM survey findings that Hubli-Dharwad has 38 per cent cost advantage among the tier II cities in the country. This will be Keonics' second attempt to push for the north Karnataka region as an IT destination.

According to Mr H. Devanand, Manager, IT Park-Hubli, the Keonics has come out with a special rental package to encourage IT industries to set up base in Hubli.

“In order to attract them, especially the software developers, we have further reduced rent rate and fixed at Rs 5 a square feet a month. Also we may relax conditions placed before,” he explained.

Currently Hubli-Dharwad houses companies like IonIdea Inc, Sankalp Semiconductor, Nabros, Neilsoft, Pro-Solutions, ClickHubli, Web Dreams and Able Design Engineering Services. Few new companies are being incubated inside the campus of BVB College of Engineering and Technology.

Keonics' move comes after two companies successfully set up their operations.

Mr Manohar Joshi, Director-Systems, IonIdea said, “The major benefits from business point of view, Hubli offers cost of living advantage of 25 per cent to 30 per cent of margins. We can afford to keep the bench and groom the freshers and make them industry-ready at relatively much lower cost.”

“We have also discovered that the communication level has improved well in recent past among fresh graduates and they can be groomed to face global clients effectively and efficiently. It looks to be a workable place to establish ITES and professional services from Hubli in a cost effective manner,” he added.

In the recent past, connectivity – both in terms of logistics and communication has improved in the town, said Mr. Ashok Shettar, a senior TiE-Hubli member and Principal, BVB College of Engineering & Technology.

However, what is most attractive in the town and surrounding areas today is the good work-life balance one gets. “Now people are increasingly complaining about quality of life in Bangalore,” said Mr Shettar.

Simple life and low cost of living coupled with good opportunities for development and growth make Hubli a suitable destination for the IT sector.
