B'luru rain wreaks havoc in M'luru veggie markets

What we need is 'Pashchima Vahini' to grow vegetables locally instead of importing vegetables. I have already posted that to decrease traffic across westernghats, hence to curb ever increasing need for expanding roads or railways, we have to reduce requirements of transportation. There are a few ways to do this. Let me summarize them again.
  • Local production - Grow vegetables and grains locally. Manufacture FMCG goods locally from locally available resources. And more & more use of local agricultural products and manufactured goods.
  • Distributed administration - Karnataka has identified need for more districts & taluks. But the country has not identified need for more states. The traffic to the state's capital city can be reduced by creating more capitals. with this more stress & encouragement to federal administration will even reduce the burden on country's capital.
  • Digitization can help in reducing need to travel to the capital city.
  • Reverse migration - Imagine we create enough job opportunities to the people migrated (15 lakhs approximately as per my guestimation - considering not only IT industry but others like film/entertainment, banking, hospitality etc) from the coastal region to the parched city and encourage them to come back. That will reduce the need for travel to meet relatives. But a side effect may be reduced air travel which may be considered as bad by economists but environmentalists don't have objections.

Apart from economical and ecological sustainability smaller states can contribute a lot towards sustainability of local culture & linguistic diversity.

Startup Kudla: Education, Research & Innovations

Look at Mangaluru MP. He is showing least interest in developing Mulki as 'Marine Knowledge City'. If Mulki was in the parched city would he have treated it in the same way? I have already posted importance of bringing a 100 acres branch of NIOT to Mulki. I want to post a lot of things on NIOT and marine researches so that India is benefitted but our local politicians are least interested in development of India. Why we have elected such type of politicians? Has Mangaluru MP at least fixed a day for laying foundation for Petroleum/Petrochemicals University?

Actually mistake is of 'TuluAppe' (तुलुअप्पे)! After giving birth to a great statesman like Srinivas Mallya she has stopped giving birth to any ferocious politicians. Gone are the days she produced brave leaders like Kotti-Chennayya, Tulunada Siri, Rani Abbakka, Martyrs of Bikarnakatta, Attavara Yellappa, Karnad Sadashiva Rao. Look at the kind of politicians produced by Tulunadu is recent times. It produced two useless chief ministers. One ran away from Tulunadu after being defeated in election without introspecting why he was defeated, why he did not contribute much towards growth of Tulunadu when he was chief minister and what he can do to regain Tuluvas confidence back. Other one was worst, ran away being afraid of defeat in an election itself! One of them may be showing a little bit interest now as he is interested in launching his son from Tulunadu & hope he will serve Tulunadu now at least in a better way! Other one anyway may lose his ministerial post soon and then only can realize that a person who can not serve his place of birth can not serve country also.

Does that mean both NH-66 & NH-75 are economic corridors?

Mangaluru-Raichur (461 km) will be an Economic Corridor

I doubt this. I think Mangaluru-Shivamogga-Davanagere-Ballari-Raichur road will be upgraded as a proper fourlane road excluding westernghat stretch.

Good that meeting on IT opportunities was held in gulf countries. There are a lot of ICT related stuffs Mangalore can do in Gulf Countries as I posted earlier. What we need is an expert team in Building Automation & Home Informatics. Mangalore can come up with its own ICT network conecting all engineering colleges including AIMIT similar to SCCN or NAIN to build educational infrastructure to create man power to serve Gulf countries in Home Automation sector. (check the end of post #352 below) Let me also add this to the next post on Analytics (Artificial Intelligence) educational infrastructure requirements. I don't know why the central or the state government didn't think of ICT network for startup coast engineering colleges or at least include a college in SCCN!

Develop phase 2 of Bykampady Industrial Area: KCCI
Quote:
KCCI President Vathika Pai said that the chamber will urge the State government to develop phase 2 of Bykampady Industrial Area in the Jesco land.

Briefing reporters here on Wednesday, she said that making smaller plots of the two acre and one acre would help in supporting the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region.

There is a huge demand for industrial lands at Bykampady because of the proximity to the port and NH 66. There is a lot of demand for smaller plots from SMEs who are paying exorbitant rent, rendering their units unviable. A single window clearance facility to support entrepreneurs would help the upcoming SMEs in the region, she said.

About 348 acre land is available in Bykampady. If the KIADB distributes at least half of the land, then it would benefit the SMEs in the region, she felt.

She said that Bykampady Township Authority proposal is ready and would be submitted to the state government shortly.

Vathika said that KCCI will continue to represent to the authorities concerned to shift the CRZ headquarters to Mangaluru instead of Bengaluru. "Its presence in this coastal area is what is required and not in a city which has no coastline at all," she said.
Even MRPL, MCF, KIOCL headquarters should be shifted to Mangaluru.

The State government is prepared to provide 96 acres of Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board land at Ganjimutt, off Mangaluru, for the park.

The process of setting up Karnataka’s first ‘plastic park’ in Mangaluru has gained momentum with the State government identifying 96 acres of land for phase 1 of the project and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL) ready to supply the raw material.

The government is prepared to provide 96 acres of Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) land at Ganjimutt, off Mangaluru, for the park, and 32 entrepreneurs have shown interest in opening units there, said Gokuldas Nayak, Joint Director of the Industries and Commerce Department.

The sole petroleum refinery in the State, MRPL, has abundant raw material (polypropylene), up to 440,000 tonnes, to set in production, said MRPL managing director H. Kumar.

The department is trying make the park a cluster so as to get a grant (of about Rs. 40 crore) from the Union government to create infrastructure, including a common effluent plant, common testing facility, roads and drainage. The common infrastructure will enable entrepreneurs to cut down their costs, Mr. Nayak said.

Training and testing

The proposed park, which could provide employment for over 30,000 people, is also to get a unit of the Central Institute of Plastic Engineering and Technology to train youngsters and test products coming out of the units in the park, says Union Minister of State for Entrepreneurship and Skill Development Anantkumar Hegde.

The three primary stakeholders — the Union Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, the State government, and the anchor tenant (MRPL) — are already in the picture and the process of forming a special purpose vehicle or another entity to establish the park is in motion. MRPL is striving to create the required ecosystem for the park by involving the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and other bodies, Mr. Kumar said.
Plastindia 2018 to benefit plastic industry, organisers

With the 10th International Plastics Exhibition, Conference and Convention — Plastindia 2018 — scheduled to be organised in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, from February 7 to 12, 2018, Plastindia Foundation has stated that a large participation of entrepreneurs from Mangaluru will promote substantial growth of the sector in the Karnataka coast.
Quote:
With a plastic park and Central Institute of Plastic Engineering and Technology in the pipeline for Mangaluru, there is wide scope for the further growth of the industry in the region, he said.
There are also a couple of bioplastic manufactures in Gandhinagar/Ahmedabad. But what Mangaluru needs is seaweed based bioplastic/biotextile products manufacturing ability, which is still in research phase - Seaweeds can be a new source for bioplastics. Coastal Gujarat & Tamilnadu have seaweed farmers. Central salt and marine and chemical research institute (CSMCRI), Bhavnagar, Gujarat has developed many seaweed technologies like cultivation, biofertilizer (bio-stimulants), biodegradable films, non-animal gelatin capsules etc. (I was thinking so far CMFRI/NIOT are main Indian research institutes on seaweed). Having CSMCRI along with CIPET in Mangaluru will give a boost to seaweed based industries in Canara, Konkan & Malabar region. We also need to know how to use effluents of desalination plants.

By the way, how many companies in Plastic Park will be manufacturing high performance medical grade plastics?

MCF conducts public hearing for project expansion
MCF to invest Rs. 1,500 cr. to double double production of fertilizers
Quote:
The Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilisers (MCF), a subsidiary of Zuari Agro Chemicals Ltd., is on an expansion mode to nearly double its production in about two years.

MCF, which produces about a million ton of fertilizers a year, has plans to add another 7.5 lakh tonnes during its expansion programme, said Director Prabhakar Rao. The proposal is in line with the Union Government’s make-in India policy to reduce imports. Now the country is importing about 10 million tonnes of fertilizers every year.

Speaking at a mandatory public hearing programme organised by the company in the presence of Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner S. Sasikanth Senthil here, Mr. Rao said another 1.5 lakh tonnes of urea production would be added to the existing 4 lakh tonne production while production of DAP/NPK would get increased from the present 4 lakh tonnes to one million tonnes in the next two-five years.

The company would be investing close to Rs. 1,500 crore for the expansion programme, which also includes setting up a poly-carboxylate ether unit to produce super plastisizer that is mixed with concrete to strengthen the mix.

The company does not require any additional land and the new units would come up within the 192 acres of its premises at Panambur. Nor would it require additional water than 9 million litres per day supplied by Mangaluru City Corporation as MCF has become a zero-effluent discharge entity. All the water is utilised within the premises, Mr. Rao said.

The expansion would provide direct employment to about 400 people in additional to the existing 1,200 and indirect employment to over 3,000 people in terms of packing bags production, transportation etc.

Union Budget 2018-19: ASSOCHAM seeks 10% customs duty on pulp imports

Alas, nobody is teaching Tuluvas how to produce pulp & paper from seaweeds. What we should plan for is a 'pulp & paper, printing, packing & labeling industrial cluster' mostly near a riverway for easy transportation of seaweeds and outputs. We need to use rivers for agriculture, industries which needs waterways and also probably for BRTS. Only red area of Mangaluru-Udupi belt shown in my old post in this forum is to be used for urbanization and industrialization except for SAZ. As these ideas develop we can consolidate them as a post on 'Mangaluru-Udupi seaerotropolis' or 'Alupa seaerotropolis' later. The government has changed name of 'Mangaluru CEZ' to 'Canara CEZ' but I will identify it as 'Alupa CEZ' after Alupa kings who ruled this region for more than 1000 years as Canara is a name given by portugese colonizers (we have already renamed South Canara & North Canara successfully but this government trying to bring it back) and also as many things named after Canara have ditched the region already. But before the 'Alupa seaerotropolis' the government should be ready with property laws for sea! By the way hope that proposed Skills University will be established in Uttara Kannada and focus on developing skills on mariculture including seaweed cultivation and other marine stuffs also.

We have to also explore whether Seaweed Fabrics microeconomy can be built to replace beedi industries by allocating seaweed garment & apparel manufacturing tasks to home workshops or village workshops through handloom societies or a similar cooperative society.

Reproposal for Padubidri International Airport

Summa: Airports Authority of India has proposed to the state government to suggest a new site for international airport. The study is going on at the chief secretary level to build new airport at Padubidri.

Irrespective of whether both NH-66 & NH-75 are Economic Corridors coastal Karnataka will have only one 'Mangalore Coastal Economic Zone' for all its domains of excellence like petrochemicals, marine, healthcare, tourism including medical tourism, agriculture & food processing etc. And it is becoming more & more certain that Padubidri is going to be international airport for this economic zone. So, let us start building knowledge cities for all 'domains of excellences' of 'Mangalore CEZ' around Padubidri including 'Karnad Sadashiva Rao Marine Knowledge City' at Mulki. Of course for 'agriculture & food processing knowledge city' Puttur may also be considered.

Mangaluru International Airport Runway 120m Shorter From December 31
Quote:
It means that of the 2,450m of runway available, only 2,330m will be available for safety purposes. It will not affect passengers per se, but there will be a load penalty on airlines, especially international airlines carrying cargo, which will have to be reduced.
To enhance safety, Mangaluru airport runway length cut by 120 metres

‘Hazardous weather conditions can cost the aviation industry billions of losses each year’

Lobo to hold meet with Lakshadweep authorities on trade today
Quote:
The MLA in a communique here stated that apart from wooing Lakshadweep authorities to restore trade ties, an appeal will be made to the island administration to construct a dedicated jetty at the harbour for the island trade at a cost of Rs 70 crore. The jetty on completion will be an exclusive facility for traders here to transport goods and commodities to that island and an appeal will be made to the island authorities concerned to expedite the jetty construction project here.
What about cruise lounge construction? I think Lakshadweep wants to attract more tourists from Karnataka. Win win situation for both Mangaluru and Lakshadweep is to have both trade and tourism.

Mangaluru: Lakshadweep convinced to resume trade link with city thanks to MLA Lobo
Quote:
He added that the officials in Lakshadweep are not worried about the quantum of investment if the project is beneficial to both the sides. Transporting petroleum products is a major requirement of the islands for which Indian Oil Corporation has built required infrastructure but not commissioned. This cargo facility can be created in Mangaluru old port.

Lobo also proposed that people in Lakshadweep can avail medical facilities in Mangaluru. To this, Khan suggested to submit a letter from government of Karnataka giving the list of approved hospitals in Mangaluru for government schemes.

Lobo says that government of Karnataka and union government have jointly sanctioned Rs 100 crore project for development of Mangaluru port. If Lakshadweep funding project is also materialized then it will result in great leap in the development of Mangaluru old port and development of the city.

As the island population is entirely dependent on mainland for their each and every requirement, it will boost demand for various commodities. This will indirectly increase taxation revenue of the state. The trade links will create an employment market in Mangaluru, boost tourism potential and also encourage medical tourism. Students from Lakshadweep can also avail education in the various institutions in the city.

Even as the Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd., celebrated its 27th founding day, the Ministry of Railways has accorded in-principle approval for its capacity augmentation at an approximate cost of Rs. 4,980 crore. The official programme was held at the KRCL headquarters in Belapur, Navi Mumbai, on Sunday.

Work on construction of 10 new railway stations — including Mirjan between Gokarna and Kumta, and Innanje between Udupi and Padubidri in Karnataka — is in progress.

Port connectivity road to get major facelift under Sagarmala Project, says DK MP

Jaideep Shenoy | TNN | Nov 15, 2017, 17:51 IST

MANGALURU: Road connectivity on the 37-km stretch of National Highway between B C Road and Surathkal is in for a major facelift under the union government much touted Sagarmala project. The proposal comprises constructing parallel flyovers, additional underpasses, widening of the NH at identified stretches, reconstructing bridges and strengthening the highways and service roads, Dakshina Kannada Member of Parliament Nalin Kumar Kateel said on Wednesday.

Interacting with reporters on the sidelines of a function to dedicate the road under bridge on the Bengaluru-Mangaluru National Highway 75 at Padil, Nalin said union government has given in-principle approval for upgrading above stretch of NH. The entire project will cost about Rs 500 crore, Nalin said, adding a prominent work proposed is to upgrade 7-km asphalted stretch between Baikampady and Lohitnagar in the city in to an 11-metre wide concrete road.

This has been done considering the high density of traffic on the stretch, the MP said adding the carriageway of the remaining 30 km stretch will be further strengthened as an asphalted road. The parallel fly overs will be constructed at Surathkal, Kottara Chowki and B C Road which presently have one-way fly overs. In addition, vehicular underpass have been proposed at Honnakatte near Surathkal and at Panambur, home to New Mangalore Port administrative office.

Likewise, a grade separator at Karnataka Polytechnic Junction and overpass has been mooted at Nanthoor Junction as there was a pressing demand for these facilities to ease the perennial traffic congestion caused in their absence, he said. Other works proposed include widening and strengthening service roads, constructing new service roads at identified stretches between Kottara Chowki and Surathkal, rehabilitation of minor bridges at Brahmarakootlu and Arkula.

The two existing bridges across the Phalguni River at Kulur too will be reconstructed. The existing road over bridge at Baikampady will be reconstructed, the MP said adding the National Highways Authority of India is in the process of getting necessary approvals for the works to take off. Earlier, at the function, Nalin said NHAI has chosen a contractor for operation and maintenance of the 37 km stretch at an estimated cost of Rs 10 crore till works under Sagarmala project started.

NHAI proposes to connect Mangaluru Port to Golden Quadrilateral Network
Quote:
The proposed road will connect Mangaluru to National Highway 4 (part of Golden Quadrilateral) at Chitradurga via Mudigere, Kadur and Holalkere

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has proposed a four-lane inter-corridor route connecting Mangaluru and Chitradurga via the Byrapura-Shishila route. The road, proposed under the Bharat Mala project, is intended to connect Mangaluru Port to the Golden Quadrilateral Network, which connects the major cities of the country and reduce the distance of freight movement.

The proposed road will connect Mangaluru to National Highway 4 (part of Golden Quadrilateral) at Chitradurga via Mudigere, Kadur and Holalkere.

At present, freight movement has to take NH 75 via Shiradi Ghat. According to LEA Associates South Asia Pvt Ltd, an agency which conducted a study for the NHAI, the distance for freight movement will be reduced by 196 km on the new route. The private agency made a presentation in the presence of senior officers in Chikkamagaluru recently.

The proposed route includes the controversial stretch of Byrapura-Shishila, considered to be shortest to connect Mudigere to the NH 75. Environmentalists of the region have been opposing road work on this stretch stating that it would harm the greenery, while local people want the road connectivity.

Distance reduced

The existing road connecting Mudigere to Bantwal Crossing (NH 75) via Charmadi Ghat is about 94 km. The proposed route reduces the distance between Mudigere Hand Post to proposed junction on NH 75 to 65 kms.

The NHAI has proposed this alternative citing that widening the road via Charmadi Ghat would be uneconomical considering the terrain and settlement along the route. The authority says that the proposed road would also boost the export of plantation products such as coffee, cardamom and pepper.

Good for economy

Mr. Shivashankar, who retired as a Technical Assistant for Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojna recently, had proposed the road connecting Byrapura and Shishila to reduce the distance in connecting Mudigere with Dakshina Kannada.

“The route proposed by the NHAI is good for the growth of the economy. The project can be executed taking all care to protect the greenery in the region. With this, the commuters or goods carriers can easily connect to the Golden Quadrilateral network,” he said.

Road opposed

Many environmentalists have opposed the proposed road.

D.V. Girish, G. Veeresh, Girija Shnkar – all wildlife activists, have said the road connecting Byrapura and Shishila would harm the greenery as the proposed road passes through the reserve forests of Baluru, Miyaru and Kabbinale. “When alternative routes via Shiradi Ghat, Charmadi Ghat, Agumbe, Sringeri are available, there is no need of this route”, said Mr. Veeresh.

Summary
  • Mangaluru-Chitradurga Inter-Corridor Route
  • Reduces distance between Mangaluru Port to NH 4 (Golden Quadrilateral network)
  • Road passes through Mudigere, Kaduru, Hosadurga, Holalkere
  • Reduces distance between Mudigere and Dakshina Kannada
  • Environmentalists opposing road between Byrapura and Shishila
  • The project involves bypasses for towns
  • Length of the Inter-Corridor Route: 242.31 km
  • Total cost: Rs. 5,358.33 crore
  • Cost per km: Rs. 22.11 crore

Please don't force bus users from this busstop to walk to Pumpwell circle or Nanthoor circle to catch city buses and vice versa.

Byrapura-Shishila Road: Centre has the Ghats
Quote:
The earlier claim that the road would provide an alternative to the traffic-filled National Highways passing through Charmadi and Shiradi ghats, has been discarded.

Instead, the New Delhi-based firm that has proposed the new alignment says this would spur economic prosperity as it would set up a freight transportation corridor connecting the major port with the hinterland. Presenting the proposal to the Chikkamagaluru Deputy Commissioner last week, the firm, LEA Associates South Asia, held a meeting with the officials over the feasibility of the project.
Quote:
“Out of the 52-km road between Byrapura and Shishila, about 25-30 km cut through evergreen and shola forests of the Western Ghats that have high water retention capacity and thus providing water in west flowing rivers like Nethravathi and her tributaries all through the year. The proposed new route will also cut through Balur, Miyar and Kabbinale reserve forest areas,” he said.
Why can't Chitradurga export through eastern ports like the parched city? (Of course export to western countries through eastern ports may cost a bit more & hence let all export industries be near port so only raw materials are transported. No land in coast for industries is a bogus claim. Chitradurga can have industries for local consumption in interior Karnataka.). Let Mangaluru port be reserved for export from coastal industries and malenadu agricultural products. But, Coastal Karnataka can provide employment to about one lakh people from Chitradurga through various export oriented industries. Although export goods traffic decreases this may increase people traffic slightly between Mangalore-Chitradurga.

‘Govt. has agreed to build a parallel bridge on the Phalguni’

The Union government has released Rs. 17.50 crore for repairing National Highway 169 between Karkala and Kulashekara (Mangaluru), according to Nalin Kumar Kateel, Member of Parliament.

He said in a release that the government has agreed to construct a parallel bridge across the Phalguni in Gurupura on the highway at an estimated cost of Rs. 50 crore, while upgrading it as a four-lane highway. The State government has agreed to widen the stretch to 45 m, while upgrading it. Land acquisition for the project would be completed soon.

Though a detailed project report (DPR) for widening this 45-km stretch was prepared in 2009, the project did not move forward due to issues related to alignment.

Now, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has come out with a revised alignment. The report was presented before people at a meeting chaired by B. Ramanath Rai, Minister in-charge of Dakshina Kannada, in the office of Deputy Commissioner on August 22, 2017.

Accordingly, re-alignment has been done at six places — Kudupu, Edapadavu, Mijar, Todar, Murattangady and Sanur. Earlier, as per the old alignment, the government issued the preliminary notification for acquiring land for the project on May 20, 2016.

An NHAI official said that the final notification for acquiring land has been issued in different stretches (villages) to an extent of 15 km. These stretches are part of the revised alignment. Hence, no fresh notification to acquire land in those stretches would be issued. The fresh notification would apply to the remaining 30-km stretch.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kateel said in the release that a Rs. 159.70-crore proposal for widening the 21 km stretch between BC Road Junction and Punjalkatte has been submitted to the Union government.

In addition, the bridges at Manihalla, Nidigal and Charmadi Halla (between BC Road and Charmadi) would be rebuilt.

The release that the NHAI has prepared a Rs. 800-crore proposal for further upgrading the BC Road-Surathkal stretch of the National Highway with parallel flyovers, underpasses and overpasses, service roads and a 7-km concrete road between Baikampady and Kuntikana.

Parallel flyovers would be built at Surathkal, Kulur and Kottara Chowki. An overpass would be built at Nanthoor Junction and an underpass would come up at Panambur, the release said.

Groundwater depletion in DK raises concern
Quote:
A comparison in the groundwater table as of August 2010 and August 2017 shows that the groundwater table in two of the five taluks has gone down drastically, while in two other taluks, it has been slightly recharged. The highest groundwater depletion is seen in Mangaluru. The total groundwater table in the district as of August 2010 and August 2017 also shows that water table has been depleted by 2.03 metres.

104 vented dams proposed under Phase I of Paschima Vahini
Quote:
Taking the much-talked about Paschima Vahini Project forward, a proposal to build 104 vented dams in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts at an estimated cost of Rs. 300 crore has been sent to the government, according to B. Ramanath Rai, Minister in-charge of Dakshina Kannada.

In his Rajyotsava Day address at the Nehru Maidan here on Wednesday, the Minister said that the government had announced Rs. 100 crore for the project in the 2017-18 Budget. The 104 vented dams have been proposed in the first stage of the project proposed to build a series of check-dams or vented dams on rivers in the three districts.

An official of the Department of Minor Irrigation, the implementing agency of the project, told The Hindu that the proposal was sent recently. As many as 11 dams have been proposed in Dakshina Kannada.
Why no fund from the central government is coming for coastal Karnataka irrigation projects?

Centre plans to provide piped water to all households by 2030

When will DK be declared as 24x7 100% piped water district? If not 100% what is the achievable target? (as there is no point in supplying water to remote villages with less dense population)

NASA’s new tool predicts which city will flood first due to global warming
Quote:
The researchers at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California applied the tool to 293 major port cities including Manguluru or Mangalore in Karnataka.
Quote:
For Mangalore the sensitivity is high to changes in ice thickness in almost all regions of the Greenland and the Antarctic ice sheet. However, it is more sensitive to changes in the western part of the Antarctic ice sheet and the southern part of the Greenland ice sheet.
Don't worry, we will not be not affected as much as Kolkatta, Chennai or Mumbai - Climate change: 22.8 million Indians could become homeless by 2100. What I think is Mangala Corniche will sink by 2100 if it is not constructed at sufficient height. So my suggestion is for reproduction of mangrove forest on river banks and then Mangala Corniche road at height of more than 3 meters from current high tide level. (If all ice melts then sea level rises by 70 meters.) (On the other hand we know Himalayas are rising by 1 cm every year). That makes us more safe till 2100 assuming a sea level raise of 2 meters. (but we have to think about rest of Mangaluru Taluk also including Ullal & Surathkal also) and by then we should be ready with a plan for most dangerous century 2.2K.

Global warming: NASA tool predicts which city will flood first; Mangalore, Mumbai at risk
Glacial melting will flood Mangaluru more than Mumbai, shows new Nasa sea level predictor
Mangaluru at higher risk of flooding if sea level rises due to glacier melting: NASA study

Oh man, the reports above say a different thing. But, I think whatever effect will be less in Mangaluru than Mumbai even though rise in level is a bit more. Mumbai average elevation is 14 meters where as Mangaluru average elevation is 22 meters. If sea rises at a rate of 1.598 mm per year then it will take 13767 years to reach the height of 22 meters. If sea raises at 1.526 mm per year then it takes 9174 years to reach the height of 14 meters. Suppose ice melts at a faster rate then proportionately number of years will decrease. And note that average elevation of Kakinada is 2 meters, Chennai is 6.7 meters, Kolkata is 9.1 meters (?). So eatern coast will submerge faster than western coast. No report available on Kerala or Goa I think. {1,2,3}.

Conclusion, at average elevation of 22 meters it will take more time to merge if sea level raises at 1.598 mm per year & Mangaluru will take more number of years to submerge than Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkatta even if rate of raise of sea level is lower in these places.

I think most affected areas of Mangaluru will be Tannirbhavi, Mukka, Ullal beaches depending upon their elevation.

Should coastal planners have concern over where land ice is melting?

There should be an investigation to find out whether the parched city real estate mafia created this rumour on Mangaluru!

Quote:
Speaking on provisions regarding penalty for delayed completion of projects, Mr. Mehta said when Mangaluru faced water famine a year before, the administration had ordered halting all construction activities. Unlike the manufacturing industry, the real estate sector is dependent on many variables.
Even MCF was shutdown due to water famine. MCF & MRPL are going for desalination plant for the same reason. My advice to real estate industries of Mangaluru is to participate in redevelopment of Mangaluru lakes and use lake water when there is water shortage.

New Rs 300-cr DPR for Paschima Vahini: Rai
Quote:
Though the department of minor irrigation suggested construction of 11 vented dams under the scheme in Undivided Dakshina Kannada, the minister insisted that it should be more than 20.

"Construct at least 20 check dams and ensure that water is stored for summer. It will help not only residents, but also farmers. Hence, a new DPR with projects worth Rs 300 crore should be submitted at the earliest," the minister directed officials.
What is vented dams X check dams? Anyway hurry up, election is nearing.

Minister Rai asks department officials to prepare DPR for check dams

So dam will be a compromised one between vented and check dam. How they are going to distribute water for irrigation? By pumping to canals or through pipelines?

At least one dam should be completed and two has to be half completed by the time of the state election. Only 3 months politicians of the party in power has to work hard to get another term. But once election is over next four and half years can just relax. But look at the other party. Didn't even construct compound wall of NIELIT so far!

DK hamlets to revive check dams

A thought for water reservoir in Netravati river itself

Summa: Depth of the river should be increased by 10 to 15 meters at a distance of about half kilometer away from Tumbe dam upto a distance of four to six kilometers. Reservoir sides should have concrete or granite wall.

What is the plan to avoid reservoir being filled by silt?

Now the real estate mafia trying to include Coorg also in their strategy against coastal Karnataka and pollute sea after polluting lakes of the parched region. Kodagu has enough rainfall, it does not need seawater. Release money for restoration & development of waterbodies in Coorg immediately before election if you want some votes.

Underground water levels drop beyond 700 ft in DK district

Whether low lying coastal areas will drown?

Instead of threatening people like this IISc professors should educate coastal people on how seaweed cultivation can bring down atmospheric carbon dioxide level; bring down sea temperature by absorbing sun light for photosynthesis (Has NASA done research on seaweed ability to decrease sea temperature?); provide biofuel, bioplastic, biotextile, biofertilizer as alternative environmentally harmful petroleum, plastic & chemical fetilizer; serve as superfood; hence save foriegn exchange.

Asked Rs. 300 crores and got Rs. 200 crores. Worse case, what is the gurantee that the government coming to power after election will release this money? So, the minister should ask the government to release the money immediately. Otherwise also problem because if the opposition party comes to power then it can use back water of river for cultivating lotus & export through proposed air cargo hub. Once people undestand lotus cultivation is profitable then they may re-elect the same party in 2023 also. (Yettinahole activists to jump into election fray).

Yes, we have to grow vegetables and flowers, so that the parched region can use water for drinking instead of wasting on growing vegetables for us & flowers for export. As I posted earlier saved horticulture land in the parched region can be used for solar parks so that farmers earn enough income.

The barrage will be multi-purpose as it will be used for storing water as well as movement of vehicles from Harekala to Adyar, connecting the National Highway 75. Under the project, a seven metre wide road will be constructed above the barrage. It will also become a tourist destination, he said.

As a result, the groundwater in the city, particularly closer to the rivers, too is getting polluted, Mr. Shetty said.

Modi tells SHGs, fishermen to explore seaweed farming
Quote:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Sunday that fishermen and self-help groups (SHGs) along the coast can opt for seaweed farming that has major pharmaceutical application and nutrient value. It has the potential to transform the way of farming, he said.
If so please sanction a National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) with "Marine Pharmacognosy Department' in Mangalore immediately.

State will get new fisheries policy, says Siddaramaiah

Hope the state fisheries policy will support 'seaweed farming' also. Better call it 'Aquaculture Policy' so to include other 'aquaculture' products including 'mariculture'. Note that aquaculture is the term used for farming of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatic plants, algae, and other aquatic organisms. (Currently fisheries is just one activity of aquaculture that is harvesting of natural grown fishes.) Let the policy have support for setting up of educational and R&D institutes in this domain including 'Marine Engineering', 'Marine Biotech Park' and 'Marine Biotech Incubation Centres'.

Quote:

Make this institute specialized for 'Biomedical Engineering' & 'Marine Engineering' (non-maritime marine engineering like Ocean Engineering, Maricultural/Aquacultural Engineering etc as there is separate peoposal for Indian Maritime University). And let us hope for 'Health & Marine Knowledge City" in the coastal Karnataka also.
When will the state government come up with comprehensive 'Marine Policy' which includes 'Maritime Policy', 'Offshore Policy' etc?

'Seaweed farming not a part of fishermen's life'

So, we need a 'Seaweed Cultivation Skill Development Centre' at CMFRI or Fisheries College.

Whether Seaweed biodiversity preservation is a part of German funded National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for coastal Karnataka? Why no meetings are held on this in Mangaluru so far? What we need is to identify all medicinally valuable marine species (even freshwater & terrestrial species) of coastal Karnataka and have plan to preserve this biodiversity. I think Mangalore University has plan to work on this in their proposed Belapu facility. We also need a watch on how MRPL desalination plant will effect marine biodiversity.

Modi advises cultivation of seaweeds as biofertilizer in Coastal Karnataka

Startups are welcome in seaweed as food (food processing), biofertilizer, bioplastic, biopharma, biocosmetic, biofuel areas {1,2,3,4,5,6} and also offshore/deepsea aquacultural & aquacultural allied engineering (includes manufacturing of heavy engineering equipments {1,2,3} for local use and export) & mariculture robotics {1,2}. Of course offshore biorefinery & biofuel power plants are also useful for offshore mariculture. (We also have to develop sea-based power storage techniques). Karnataka coastline is limited compared to other states of India and I think depth is more so we have to use deepsea mariculture techniques. {1,2,3,4}

What we need is a proper 'Aquaculture Policy' support to do all these things.

How about sustainable mangroove cultivation with controlled harvesting for bioplastic, biopharma, ecotourism (boating/kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, bird watching etc), coastal defense and natural resilience against climate change? Say in & around Netravati islands & banks? {1,2} (Let us scratch our head later on how to drive highspeed boats through mangrove forests).

Startup Kudla: Education, Research & Innovations

Listing what are essential subjects on 'analytics' (Artificial Intelligence) to be taught in Mangalore according to me.
  1. Centre of Excellence Health/Medical/Clinical Informatics at proposed NIELIT.
  2. School of Finance & Analytics at Mangalore University College.
  3. School of 'Oil & Gas Informatics' at suggested IIPE (Petroleum University).
  4. School of Aquaculture & Analytics at Fisheries College.
  5. School of Tourism & Analytics (e-tourism).
  6. Centre of excellence for 'Drug/Pharmacy Informatics' & Pharmacoinformatics including 'Marine Pharmacology Informatics' at suggested NIPER.
  7. Centre of Excellence for Materials Science & Engineering with Materials Informatics, Biomaterials Informatics and Nanoinformatics at NITK (Tulunadu & India needs a very strong team of material, nanomaterial and biomaterial scientists).
  8. Maritime Transportation & Logistics Informatics (Water Traffic Management) at proposed Indian Maritime University (IMU). Either IMU or NITK should have facilities for training in Computational Engineering Design & Informatics.
  9. School of Commerce & Analytics (e-commerce).
  10. School of Education Informatics & Innovations (e-education).
  11. Institute of Home Automation & Analytics {1}
  12. Institute of Robotics & Artificial Intelligence
Currently we have Geoinformatics teaching facilities at Mangalore University & NITK and Bioinformatics in Aloysius, NITK and then Health Informatics in Nitte and Manipal universities in Udupi district. Cheminformatics is used by them mainly for drug design. Computational Engineering & Informatics for ship design and Manufacturing Informatics tools may be already available at NITK and Maritime Transportation & Logistics Informatics may be already available in Manipal University. NITK also teaches compuational science/mathematics.

I don't know currently to what an extent facilities are available for teaching Health Informatics or Bioinformatics & Cheminformatics. We need fullfledged 'Centre of Excellence for Health/Medical/Clinical Informatics', 'Centre of Excellence for Biomaterials Informatics' and 'Centre of Excellence for Pharmacoinformatics'. The Centre of Excellence for Health/Medical/Clinical Informatics listed above not only cover all aspects of it & most importantly whatever needed for regerative medicine R&D but could also include alternative medicinal domains like Ayurinformatics, Siddha Informatics etc. But 'Siddha Informatics' can be a part of National Institute of Siddha or NIPER. NIPER should also cover 'Marine Pharmacology Informatics'. The knowledge of Cheminformatics can be useful for non-pharmaceutical chemical R&D also. Nanoinformatics for Nanomedicine & other applications. Optionally NIELIT/BEERI can teach all of these informatics. Other options are Nanoinformatics at proposed Belapu PG Centre and Biomaterials Informatics at proposed CIPET.

Even generalized 'Manufacturing Informatics' (Manufacturing Resource Planning)(or else NITK facilities should be strengthened to cover all types of industries) can be covered separately other than 'Oil & Gas Informatics' as there is plan to develop 'Mangluru CEZ' as a manufacturing hub for food processing, heavy engineering, non-petroleum chemical industries like pharmaceutical industries, medical devices (I am not sure whether the government classify medical devices under pharmacy. The decomposition of economic model is generally reflected on how it splits responsibility among ministries. In one of my next posts I will try to come up with a raw diagram for decomposed 'Mangaluru CEZ' Economic Model.), FMCG, other small/medium/large scale manufacturing industries & self-help group run industries.

Aquacultural Informatics & Aquacultural Information Management at Fisheries College or any of management school like AIMIT or SDM College of Business Management along with Economic/Business Informatics. Earlier I posted this one as Fisheries Informatics & Fisheries Information Management. (Our focus will be now on Maricultural Informatics & Maricultural Information Management. Only difference between 'Fisheries' and 'Aquaculture' is searching for fish schools & hunting). On the other hand, this one could be taught as a part of Agricultural Informatics and Agricultural Information Management itself if we want to cover whole agricultural domain along with horticulture.

Water Traffic Management should cover Highspeed Boat Transit System.

One of the domains which is important for Mangaluru is real estate. 'Real Estate Informatics' can use artificial intelligence for helping all stake holders like builders, constructors, architects, suppliers, logistics providers, agents and clients. As far as 'Construction Informatics' is concerned it is specialized 'Manufacturing Informatics' were manufacturing site shifts from one location to another location with time. For builders, agents and clients it is commercial (e-commerce) activity (and even for constructors, architects, suppliers, logistics providers). And also there is some financial stuffs like any other business/economic activity. 'Real Estate Informatics' domain is not listed above because with the knowledge of other domains people can manage this domain. 'Home Informatics' and 'Architectural Informatics' are separate subjects. To add more to the discussion we have enough 'Virtual and Augmeneted Reality' {1,2} expertize (animation experts) to serve Real Estate domain. CREDAI Mangalore can think about 'School of Real Estate & Analytics'.

In addition, 'Scool of Sports Informatics' can come up along with sports schools & sports institutes at proposed 1000 acres Sports City in Panjimogaru.

'Institute of Home Automation & Analytics' and 'Institute of Robotics & Artificial Intelligence' can be combined together and called 'Institute of Automation & Analytics' or 'Institute of Automation & Artificial Intelligence' and can provide education in home automation, hospital automation, office automation, ship automation, industrial automation, mechatronics/robotics, HVAC etc. Robotics (& mechatronics) inclusion is justified as 'Robot on Internet' (or 'Mechatronic on Internet') is the new trend like IoT. Imagine a mariculturist controlling a marine robot sitting some where else. Institute can also be called 'Institute of IoE' or it can be a department of NIELIT called IoE Department or department of home automation, department of mechatronics/robotics etc and better to leave ship automation as a part of IMU or NITK.

One of way to combine schools of manufacturing, finance, commerce etc is to call them 'School of Goods & Services and Analytics'.

'School of Education Informatics & Innovations' can also be called 'Institute of Education Planning & Innovations'. It should help in planning for all types of educational innovations needed for 'Mangalore CEZ' and beyond. It should help in bringing innovations in nursery, lower, higher, rural & urban educations. {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}.

There are also options of teaching so many other specialized informatics subjects like Legal Informatics, Regulatory Informatics (against 'Regulatory & Legal Issues & Mangament' educational course suggested earlier against Biomedical Engineering Education & Research Institute (BEERI) for biomedical device manufacturing which has stringent & complex regulatory requirements as it is a safety-critical domain. For examples, FDA, EMA or CDSCO regulations. Even Water Traffic Control System is a safety-critical domain though regulatory requirements are yet to be developed fully except may be for port & shipping regulations. The pharmaceutical products have to be manufactured under stringent regulations. And also business-critical domains like finance will have its own stringent regulatory requirements. For that matter every domain including real estate has regulatory requirements but not that complex as safety/mission/business-critical domains. Still with home automation real estate may become a more security-critical system.), Computational Informatics, Urban Informatics, Rural Informatics, Architectural Informatics, Space Informatics, Weather Informatics, Environmental Informatics, Earth Science Informatics, Art & Cultural Informatics, Music Informatics, Film Informatics (School of Film Studies can come up at Kapu Film City, Udupi), Social Informatics, Transportation Informatics, Aviation/Flight Informatics (Air Traffic Management), Energy Informatics (can come up along with 'Oil & Gas Informatics' at IIPE), Reliability/Safety/Maintenance Analytics, Predictive Informatics, Research/Innovation Informatics, Astroinformatics, Linguistic Informatics (CLIL R&T Centre, Manipal), Food Informatics (Food Nitrition Informatics along with Health Informatics), Textile Informatics, Fashion Informatics, Mining Informatics (at NITK) or more generalized Economic/Business Informatics (Enterprise Resource Planning) itself. (I think AIMIT is focusing on Economic Informatics already. Sahyadri has Aptra). I have listed above what I felt important for Mangaluru CEZ's 'Domains of Excellence'.

Coming to 'Space Informatics', we may use satellites for Aquaculture/Mariculture/Fisheries Informatics and in general Agricultural Informatics. Then for Transportation Informatics like Water Traffic Management (WTM), Urban/Rural Informatics, Telemedicine/Telehealth etc. And 'Space Informatics' is also useful for identifying all kinds of economic resources within Mangaluru CEZ and would be part of entire 'Economic Informatics'. Good that we will have 'Space Informatics' experts at Alvas Engineering College soon. I think Alvas are initially aiming for Agricultural Informatics with their first satellite. (including mariculture?). We can also think of using satellites for building 'Environmental Informatics' of sea, coastal & westernghat region.

A 'School of Computational Earth Science & Informatics' with 'Environmental Informatics' or 'Ecological Informatics' at Belapu facility of Mangalore University will be useful to study effects of development projects like offshore turbines, desalination plant, Mangala Corniche or Pashchima Vahini on marine, lentic/lotic & terrestrial ecosystems. (as biodiversity study is identified for Belapu centre) {1,2,3}. What I am more interested is effect of vented dams on lotic ecosystem and whether we can reproduce that ecosystem in canals if we maintain a steady flow from vented dams to canals throughout the year. (What is important for vented dams and canals is preserve some area around them for aquatic flora that support aquatic fauna, Probably many of these aquatic plants also have medicinal value. So we can have aquatic medicinal plant horticulture also.) Finally we have to have a computational/animation model for marine, coastal & westernghat ecosystem.

I guestimate all (12 - 1) Informatics/Analytics schools/institutes or centres of excellence put together will cost around Rs. 1000 crores. (-1 because budget for Financial Analytics school is separate. Health Informatics needs more than Rs. 500 crores). If we assume that all informatics schools, NIELIT, NIPER, IIPE, CIPET, IMU, NIOT, NIOS put together costs Rs. 6000 crores then we are spending 5% of Rs. 1.2 lakh crores NH-75 Economic Corridor investment on building Educational Infrastructure in Mangalore. It may go upto 10% if we add educational infrastructure needed in Udupi & Uttara Kannada for 'Mangaluru CEZ' including skill development infrastructure. But whatever infrastructure built on the foundation of educational infrastructure will last for a long time! What we get in return is deeper theoretical understanding of our 'domains of excellence', boost to product based IT startup industry (may not be in all areas listed above in the list of 12 but a selected few domains like finance informatics, selected subjects of health informatics, manufacturing informatics, commerce informatics, tourism informatics, education informatics, home automation and robotics) and also IT products to serve microeconomy. Let me say we should be able to model & develop both microeconomy and macroeconomy as a single 'Mangaluru CEZ Enterprise' and then the country also as a single enterprise.

Note: Computational Modeling/Simulation is assumed in all. For example, Business Informatics means Computational Business Analytics, Nanoinformatics means computational nanotechnology & nanoinformatics,

How about demanding IIPE (Indian Institute of Petroleum & Energy) compulsory before MRPL's 1000 acres expansion plan?

NITK Surathkal, five IITs get Rs 2K-cr interest-free loan for research
NIT-K among six institutes to get over Rs. 2,000 cr. interest-free loan
Quote:


The other institutes are the IITs of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kharagpur, and Kanpur

The National Institute of Technology – Karnataka (NIT-K), Surathkal, is among six institutions in the country to which the Higher Education Funding Agency (HEFA) approved Rs. 2,066.73 crore interest free loan on Wednesday.

The funding would be for research and related infrastructure in addition to grants being given to these institutions. The approval was given in the second meeting of the HEFA Board on November 29. The other five institutes are the Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs) of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kharagpur and Kanpur.

“...The HEFA Board in its second meeting today approved projects for Rs. 2,066.73 crore for six institutions...,” a release from the Press Information Bureau said. “...These funds would be used to improve the research infrastructure in these institutions to further improve their standing at the global level...As per the scheme, HEFA would mobilise Rs. 20,000 crore through market borrowing and would release the same to the government institution as interest- free loans...,” it added.

The HEFA is a novel method of funding premier institutions through ‘securitising the future flows’. Each institution agrees to escrow a specific amount from their internally earned resources (not government grants) to HEFA. This forms a basis for a credit line which can be used by the institution for creating the required capital and research assets. The principal portion is repaid from the escrowed amount and the interest is met by the government. For the institution, this is an interest-free amount and gives facility to the institution to build the required research infrastructure of world class.

The HEFA has registered as a Section – 8 Company under the Companies Act on May 31, 2017. Canara Bank has been identified as the partner for setting up the Company. Government has released Rs. 250 crore equity and the Canara Bank has given Rs. 50 crore equity in the HEFA. RBI has granted a license under the RBI Act for HEFA to operate as NBFC on November 21, 2017, and to leverage the equity to mobilise money from market as per the requirements of the institutions.

Team Ecologic Habitats to complete elegant ‘Transit One’ Mall by next year
Quote:
The journey that Team Ecologic Habitats started does not just stop at handing over a beautiful finished product. The challenge lies in ensuring successful operations and management of the property. For this purpose as an optional additional service, the team has decided to provide mall management services to its esteemed customers and clients.

These services include lease management, facility management, business development consultancy, re-sale consultancy, finance management, mall marketing and promotions, market research- Tenancy mix, mall positioning, zoning etc.

Mall management has been identified as a critical factor for the success of malls and the retail industry across the world. The Team Ecologic Habitats anticipates that the success of Indian malls will not only be achieved by housing the biggest and the best mix of retailers, but also by setting up new standards and procedures in mall management that will provide a platform to differentiate its products and services from competitors. The vision of creating a unique niche in the market by providing innovative and inspirational products consistently is what Ecologic Habitats has kept going.
So, we are going to have Mall Analytics (Shopping Mall Analytics or Retail Analytics or WiFi Analytics) services at Mangaluru. One more mall (KSRTC, Bendorewell) is taken over by Congnizant. Hope some IT company working in 'commercial analytics' area prefer ‘Transit One’ Mall for running their operations. Wish as a offshoot we will have 'School of Commerce & Analytics' (e-commerce) itself.

NITI Aayog plans to use methanol as alternative fuel: Former DRDO chief

Are they working on biogas run IC engines? What I am interested to know is whether same pipeline network which will be built for supplying natural gas can be used for supplying seagas or seaweed biogas to various consumers like industries, homes, commercial buildings (hotels/restaurants etc) and vehicles? {1,2,3,4,5}. I don't think anything drastic will happen if natural gas and biogas are fed through same pipeline networks. Seaweed cultivation definitely will save foreign exchange on petrol & gas if can be produced economically and can generate more jobs (though can be robotized for better productivity in future, By 2020, Artificial Intelligence will create more jobs than it eliminates: Gartner).

What Mangaluru needs is CSMCRI or IIPE or Marine Biotech Institute to carry out research on seaweed biogas and then Marine Biotech Park & Incubation Centre.

If biogas suppliers (say MGSCOM like MESCOM where G=Gas) have gas pipeline network, underground storage facilities, Bio-CNG stations {1,2,3,4,5,6} then I think many small/medium/large sized seagas, organic waste or other biogas producers can feed biogas to this network. (In case natural gas and biogas are already mixed then we can call it CG station itself). Sweden is the largest user of biomethane for vehicles. Here are a few study report on biogas natural gas blending - {1,2,3}. Probably some of industries need pure natural gas.

Rs 216 crore released for Mangaluru smart city
Smart City mission - Rs 216 crore released

How to fund climate-smart cities
Quote:
Fundamentally, climate-smart transformation needs set of city-specific strategies to systematically reduce city’s carbon footprint and enhance resilience to climate change through smart, affordable and, resilient infrastructure, and mixed form of adaptable land-use. Cities can use ‘predictive models’ to assess the potential risks of climate vulnerabilities (erratic rainfalls, flood, high temperature) and, monetise those risks to account for additional financial and social costs for building safeguards.

On the other hand, each city should have a clearly defined ‘low carbon pathway’, a series of interventions under certain plausible scenarios around integrated solid waste management (ISWM), energy efficient energy/ water supply, harnessing rooftop solar and battery storage, green urban mobility (including electric mobility, public and, non-motorised transport), green and affordable building infrastructure, smart grids, that decouple city’s economic growth from the growth of GHG emissions.
Dominant control of agriculture and irrigation on urban heat island in India
Quote:
UHI can be affected by the radiation budget and land-use configuration of the local and urban-rural environment
IIT team tracks urban heat island effect in 89 cities
Quote:
“There are two reasons why urban areas in western and central parts of India become cooler than non-urban areas during summer. The non-urban areas have no crop and moisture, the soil is dry and day-time air temperature is above 40 degrees C. On the other hand, the urban areas have vegetation cover and water bodies. This is why cities are cooler than the surrounding non-urban areas during the day,” explains Prof. Mishra.
Quote:
Planning requirement

“Since the government is planning to develop these as smart cities, we should think of using more sustainable building materials that absorb less heat during the day. We also need to include passive cooling measures such as increased tree cover, increased ventilation in buildings and orientation of buildings in modern building designs to reduce the night-time urban heat island effect,” he says. There should be an optimal combination of impervious cover, vegetation cover, and water bodies within the cities.
Prediction
Quote:
If a city or town has a good system of taking weather observations the UHI can be measured directly. An alternative is to use a complex simulation of the location to calculate the UHI, or to use an approximate empirical method. Such models allow the UHI to be included in estimates of future temperatures rises within cities due to climate change.

I don't know whether proposed 'Central Command Centre' for Smart Mangaluru is planned to address things like climate change or disasters. I also don't know which local college is involved in urban planning for Mangaluru.

Whether Alvas are involved in disaster map {1} or climate change map {1,2} which NRSA may be developing as a part of national land use and land cover mapping. I think even Mangalore University or NITK with their Geoinformatics knowledge can come up with a map and develop ‘predictive model’ (predictive analytics) for Mangaluru & coastal Karnataka. (when will Mangalore University grow from geoinformatic to computational earth science & informatics?).

We have to understand Urban Heat Islands in the context of Pashchima Vahini (Seaweed cultivation is not an issue as sea evaporation was always there). We also have to plan for coastal defense and natural resilience against climate change.

What we want is a multidimensional animation map of the city predicting 'land going under sea against time' and 'microclimate changes due to new urban constructions'. (the map will go on improving and give more precise predictions as Earth Science Computational Modeling techniques matures in future). Mangaluru should have good predictive analytics and preventive measures capabilities of urban, architectural & microclimate planning. (I think currently Indian urban institutes are working only on computational transportation planning & may be governance analytics). In addition, if the map can also help in rural and agricultural/maricultural planning also then it would be great.

The government should issue permission to construct building (especially skyscrapers) only after studying disaster proneness and the effect of the building on microclimate of the city. Multidimensional animation application/tool should enable this. All our development works along sea or river banks targetting next 100 years should be above 3 meters from current high tide level of sea & backwater with a assumption that sea rises by 2 meters in next 100 years. Like Delhi airport proposed Padubidri airport should not get flooded by river or sea at least for next 100 years. Seaport, marina & other water based transportation infrastructures which are not covered by CRZ rules have to be developed with due care. While developing city as per Transit Oriented Development norms due consideration has to be given to street geometry factors effecting microclimate. Mangaluru should be climate change resilient and should contribute zero to climate change.

Terrace gardens, solar roofs, water bodies, greenspace/trees (with ensured availability of ground water), green buildings are the way to overcome UHI effects. Microclimate of the city should be controlled against street canyon effect as Mangaluru is growing vertically. The city should be designed so that its highrises have enough space inbetween to allow smooth flow of air through each nook & corner.

What we have now is a NGO monitoring pollution level. We need a study group (could be from Mangalore University or NITK if not a separate institute on urban informatics) for monitoring ground water level, UHI/UCI effects, sea level, street canyon effect etc and model extreme rainfalls (Mangaluru is supposed to get weather radar, 'Rapidly growing Indian cities may face extreme rainfalls') if Central Command Centre does not do all these things. {1,2,4,4,5,6}.

Microclimate Modelling - For Greenfield - Modelling should help in designing entire greenfield area and its interactions with boundary areas. For Redevelopment/Retrofitting - It should issue individual licenses to a building after studying its effect on local microclimate.

The role of city size and urban form in the surface urban heat island

Since we are going to develop a narrow belt from Mangaluru to Udupi and people will be dispersed across vast area between these two cities with enough greenspace separating TOD centres (Transit Oriented Development) and we have enough water bodies like rivers in between the UHI effect would be small.

New bus stand project to figure at smart city meeting

MCC approves bus terminal of DBFOT model at Pumpwell
Pumpwell bus terminal project takes a leap
Quote:
MANGALURU, November 29, 2017 01:08 IST
Updated: November 29, 2017 01:08 IST

Kavita Sanil, Mayor, and Mohammed Nazir, Commissioner, Mangaluru City Corporation, at the council meeting on Tuesday.

Corporation agrees to take it up under DBFOT model

More than three years after the council of Mangaluru City Corporation approved the taking up of a bus terminal project at Pumpwell, the proposal has taken a leap with the council on Tuesday agreeing to take it up under a Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer (DBFOT) model.

The council approved the DBFOT model submitted by the Chettinad Builders Pvt. Ltd. According to it, the project can be taken up on 7.23 acres now with the corporation.

Mohammed Nazir, Commissioner of the corporation, told the council that according to the model submitted by the private company, 198 buses could be parked on two floors in the terminal. In addition, the terminal would have a multi-level car parking facility, two-wheeler parking facility, a mall, a theatre and shops in the commercial complex. He said that the bidder who would take up the project would have to hand over it to the corporation after 33 years of completion.

The Commissioner said once the government approved the proposal an expression of interest would be called to take up the project that might cost RS. 400 crore.

As Mayor Kavita Sanil gave approval for the DBFOT model on November 9, expecting that the council would not oppose it, a proposal has been placed before the special purpose vehicle (which is a company) for approving projects for Mangaluru under the smart city mission, to allow for taking up the terminal project under the same, he said. The Commissioner said that the Board of the SPV would meet on Wednesday.

The council also agreed to take up a modern market-cum-commercial complex project at Kankanady at an estimated cost of Rs. 49.50 crore. The Mayor gave in advance approval for this on November 23.

According to this proposal, Rs. 22.50 crore (45% of the project cost) would be raised as loan from the Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC), Rs. 17 crore (35%) would be taken as loan from any nationalised bank and the balance Rs. 10 crore (20%) would be borne by the corporation.

The council agreed to send a proposal to the SPV for smart city mission for approving the project under the mission.

Referring to sending the proposals to the SPV, the Commissioner said that it made the formalities pertaining to the government approvals faster. In addition, as the SPV had a project management consultancy quality of the project could be maintained.
Smart City SPV clears proposal for transport hub for Namma Kudla
Quote:
MANGALURU: The board of Mangalore Smart City Ltd, the SPV for Mangaluru smart city project on Wednesday cleared a proposal sent by Mangaluru City Corporation to construct the transport hub for the city near Mahavir (Pumpwell) Circle. The council of MCC on Tuesday had approved an agenda under which the transport hub will be taken up on PPP mode under the design, build, finance operate and transfer (DBFOT) mode at an estimated cost of Rs 400 crore.

The agenda was approved at the meeting that P Hemalatha, DK district in-charge secretary and chairperson of the SPV chaired. The civic body has already acquired 7.23 acres of land at 37 Maroli ward for this purpose and the main intention in routing transport hub project through the SPV is to expedite the entire process related to tendering and execution, said Shashidhar Hegde, chief whip of the ruling Congress in MCC and also a member of the board of the company.

Mohammad Nazeer, commissioner, MCC and MD of the company told TOI that the transport hub will have provision for 198 bus bays in addition to parking for two and four-wheelers. All inter, intra city bus operations will be shifted to the hub once it is operational and this will vastly decongest existing terminus near the SBI main branch for city and at the hockey ground that has been converted in to terminus for mofussil, service and inter-district bus operations.

The pre-bid meeting will see final fine tuning of the proposal which could accommodate interests of the investor while ensuring that MCC does benefit from leasing out the land to the successful bidder. The project will require the bidder to develop the road from Mahavir junction to the hub and also provide for an underpass in addition to constructing the terminal with provision for commercial complex and multi-level car parking facilities, Mayor Kavitha Sanil said.
Smart City SPV meeting approves bus terminal at Pumpwell

Is the design of Pumpwell bus terminal flexible enough to incorporate metro in future to make it multi-mode transportation hub? Is there any plan to shift State Bank city bus stop to Bunder to make Bunder also a multi-mode transportation hub of water, road & rail? If not all buses some city buses can be made to go upto Bunder by widening State Bank to Bunder road. Otherwise KSRTC can run amphibious buses from places like Ullal, Airport to State Bank via Bunder.

However I am not sure whether Mangalore need one more mall/theatre at pumpwell as closeby there will be Plama Mall. Side effect will be additional vehicle traffic as theatre is not exclusively for mass transportation system users. Why not plan for something for which bus commuters from rural places visit the core city? Need some operational research to understand commuters' needs.

Control Command Centre (CCC) in city

Nazir said that a Control Command Centre (CCC) will be set up in Mangaluru under the smart city programme. The CCC is focused on the monitoring of smart solutions. The CCTV footage, Wi-Fi enabled smart poles and air quality surveillance systems will be monitored through the CCC. The centre will be set up in the MCC building.

Also, with the installation of Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), water distribution networking system will be monitored to check the volume of water from source to bulk storage at various levels. This will help to measure the exact quantity of revenue, non-revenue and wastage water, Nazir said.
Mangaluru to get 22 smart bus stop shelters under Smart Cities project
Quote:
While bus shelter A will have e-toilets including interactive display and real time indicator, bus shelter B will have same features as shelter A minus e-toilet, and bus shelter C will be a smaller sized version of bus shelter B type, said Mohammad Nazeer, MD, Mangaluru Smart City Ltd.

Nazeer, also commissioner, Mangaluru City Corporation told reporters that the bus stop shelters will be constructed at cost of Rs 4.8 crore and tenders for the same opened on January 29, 2018. While bus shelter types A and B will measure 7.5 metres long and 2.2 metres wide, bus shelter type C will be 6 metres long and 2.2 metres wide. While bus shelters in core central business district areas fall under types A and B, those on the periphery will be in type C.

If that yellow floor of extra height is removed then busstop will look more safe and comfortable to walk. I also think the horizontal barrier on left side, may be there to provide strength, is disallowing free movement of commuters and pedestrians. Ghanashyam, whenever our party takes over MCC rule we have to remove all such unsafe & inconvenient features from all busstops and even create space for autobays & bicycles at the back of busstops to make them true multi-mode busstops.

Mangaluru to get its first model bus bay

Having park near bus stop is a good thing to have. But how many types of model bus stops Mangaluru is going to have? Whether anybody has listed down the facilities that should be available in a model bus stop/bay? What are compulsory facilities and what are optional facilities? For me toilet is compulsory and I also consider multi-mode features should be compulsory. Then safety, comfort all those things should be part of bus stop design. Better request some architecture school to list down all these and accept the report prepared by them as guideline for designing bus bays/stops. And even for amphibian bus bays/stops at 'floating cities'!

Alright, it is also time to come up with a plan for 'Smart Seaerotropolis Kudla' with floating townships - 10,000 seaplanes, 'floating cities' in the form of ocean cruises and electric vehicles zipping on dedicated highway lanes -- that's the future as envisioned by Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari. We have already talked about floating farms, floating biogas refineries, floating power plants, floating restaurants etc. That itself should lead to floating cities. Actually India, as its population is increasing drastically and land is getting lost to sea due to climate change, should had floating city programme much earlier than space programme. This is why India need more branches of NIOT to study various design issues connected with floating cities. First step for 'Mangaluru-Udupi Seaerotropolis' may be to have a floating NIOT itself! I will try to detail about Seaerotropolis (Sea+Aero+Metropolis, Seatropolis+Aerotropolis) sometime later.

Proposal finalized for smart road
Quote:
The proposal of comprehensive development of Nehru Maidan smart road includes streetscape designing, beautification, landscaping, intersection redesigning and infrastructure upgrading under Smart City Mission on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) mode. Widening of the road, providing stainless steel bus shelter with LED displays, installation of outdoor wi-fi, e-toilets with LED, GPS connectivity, providing traffic signal poles, laying tiles, interlocks, dust bins, 180-watt LED street lights, grass lawns, planting shrubs and fixing irrigation lines and sprinklers for lawn areas. The existing structure at the A B Shetty Circle will be preserved while developing the model smart road.
Whether e-toilets will be occupying footpath like already constructed ones?

Smart bus shelters in 22 places

So, the toilet on one side of busstop on footpath. They have listened my earlier question! Pedestrians are forced to walk on busbay itself. What a smart design! Are they going to waste all Rs. 2,000 crores like this to create inconvenience to pedestrians?

NIT-K, NMAMIT to get innovation hub tag
Quote:
Mangaluru: After the launch of the Centre for Entrepreneurship Opportunities and Learning (CEOL) in Mangaluru, the NITI Aayog will soon give the innovation hub tag to the premier technical institutions NIT-K, Surathkal and NMAMIT, Karkala.
This was announced during defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman's recent visit to the city to inaugurate CEOL. Apart from this, these oldest technical institutions in the coastal districts have been chosen as India's first start-up districts with incubators by the ministry of commerce and industry.

"NMAMIT, Karkala, and NIT-K, Surathkal, will jointly execute a couple of projects under this programme, while they will also execute some independent ones. Senior professors from the country's premier technical institutions will lend their support for proper execution of the projects," Karanam Uma Maheshwar Rao, director, NIT-K, Surathkal, told TOI.

The first project that NIT-K will be working on, is to make methanol as an alternative fuel, and in related areas. The ground work for it was prepared during the recently-held national conference on internal combustion engines and combustion, at the campus. It was attended by V K Saraswat, member of NITI Aayog and former chief of DRDO, and Sanjiv Singh, chairman, Indian Oil Corporation.

Speaking on having additional infrastructure for innovation and start-ups, Rao added that the recent announcement of a Higher Education Funding Agency (HEFA), has additional benefits for the institute to utilize the opportunity to the maximum, where finance is not a roadblock. "We are focusing on infrastructure, wherein it houses modernized equipment, aiding in research and innovation," Rao pointed out.

Apart from an innovation hub, NMAMIT and NIT-K, Surathkal, have also been chosen as India's first start-up districts with incubators, by the ministry of commerce and industry. Connectivity (air, road, sea and rail), presence of several education institutions, state-of-art facilities, student resources and infrastructure, were key factors to get these institutions selected for the centre.

Niranjan N Chiplunkar, principal, NMAIT, said as per directions, the institution has done construction activities on a 10,000 square foot area, for the incubation centre. "We have already completed works of the administration area, which is about 2,000 square feet, and are awaiting further communication from the government in this regard," he said.

School to get tinkering lab

Dr N Shankara Adyanthaya Memorial Senior Secondary School, Nitte, has been selected for the award of grant-in-aid by the Government of India, for the establishment of an Atal Tinkering Lab at Nitte. The Atal Innovation Mission under the Government of India has selected Dr NSAM Senior Secondary School, Nitte, managed by Nitte Education Trust, Mangaluru, for the establishment of the Atal Tinkering Lab.

It is needed to create scientific temper and cultivate the spirit of curiosity and innovation among young minds, stated a release from the school. The Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) is a workspace where young minds get hands-on do-it-yourself mode and learn innovative skills. The main vision of ATL is to, 'Cultivate one million children in India as innovators'. Students get a chance to work with tools and equipment, to understand what, how and why aspects of science, technology, engineering and math.
Biodosimetry Lab, 1st in Karnataka established at K S Hegde Medical Academy
Quote:
Mangaluru, 08 Jan 2018: A contract agreement was signed between the President of India, acting through and represented by the director, Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), a constituent laboratory of the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Nitte (Deemed to be University) at K S Hegde Medical Academy, Nitte (Deemed to be University), Deralakatte, here, on January 3, 2018 at 12.00pm and Networking with Biodosimetry laboratory of INMAS, DRDO, New Delhi, for the establishing Biodosimetry laboratory at K S Hegde Medical Academy, Nitte (Deemed to be University), Deralakatte, Mangaluru and Networking with Biodosimetry laboratory of INMAS, DRDO, New Delhi.

INMAS is a premier laboratory of the DRDO engaged in the research of basic and applied medical sciences including radioprotectors and treatment modalities for the management of radiation emergencies, endocrinology, biodosimetry, drug development and strategies for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defence, Radiation counter measures, besides combat causality care. Biodosimetry Lab shall help in monitoring radiation exposure status of medical professionals, hospital staff at K S Hegde Medical Academy, Nitte (Deemed to be University) Mangaluru and other hospitals of Karnataka state. Nineteen countries have established Biodosimetry laboratories during 2012-2014 and successfully networked. In India, there are only three laboratories including INMAS, and ours will be the fourth and the first in the state of Karnataka.

Biodosimetry lab is being established for assisting medical management of Radiation exposure. Such exposure can occur during radiation accidents and among medical professionals.

Since a single lab can only handle limited samples and in emergency the sample size will be very large. Therefore more Biodosimetry labs are needed to be established and work in network for Biodosimetry service.

Once established this lab can serve as radiation diagnostic lab for radiation over exposure among medical professional and participate in building national and international capacity of Biodosimetry service for handling medical radiation energy. This diagnostic information will also help in prediction of short term and long term health consequences of radiation exposure.

INMAS is a premier laboratory of the DRDO engaged in the research of basic and applied medical sciences including radioprotectors and treatment modalities for the management of radiation emergencies, endocrinology, biodosimetry, drug development and strategies for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defence, Radiation counter measures, besides combat causality care.

Gaurav Gupta said that the government has been widening the incubation network, spreading across the entire state. The incubation centres meant for start-ups will promote the students in providing solution to the problems such as traffic, wastewater management, sanitation, plant diseases and health care. These centres will have a tie-up with institutions like NITK. There are 7,000 start-ups at present and 20,000 start-ups are planned (in the state?) for the next five years.

Gaurav Gupta inaugurated the New Age Incubation Network NAIN at the Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management on the occasion. The centre will focus on projects such as awareness programmes on cleanliness, cost effective precast toilet for rural Karnataka, computer-aided diagnosis for early detection of breast cancer, freshness analysis of sea fish, hydrophonic agriculture system and so on. Pre - ideation workshops, mentoring, incubation and start-up programmes will be conducted in this regard. Faculty from the department concerned and an industry expert will provide guidance to students. Karnataka Government provides support up to three years in the initial stage.

‘Industries should form mutual aid groups to exchange knowledge, face disasters’
Quote:
It is better that groups of similar industries in Mangaluru region form mutual aid groups along the lines of other States to exchange knowledge and assistance during disasters, A.R. Vijayendra, Additional Director, Department of Factories and Boilers, said.
Quote:
M. Venkatesh, Director (Refinery), MRPL, suggested the setting up of a Safety Chair at NITK that could assist the government and industries on framing policies and coming out with new techniques in safety management.
Quote:
More than 50% of hazardous chemicals used by industries across the State are present in Dakshina Kannada alone, said M.B. Sudatta, Dean (Academics), NITK. As such, adequate and proper safety culture has to be created, he said adding that NITK would always play a vital role in this regard. Conference chairman G. Sriniketan said risk and safety management should be introduced as a subject or at least certain concept of safety has to be brought in school curriculum.
Not only safety chair for chemical hazards ('Hazardous Materials Analytics') but Mangaluru needs 'Indian Institute of Hazard & Disaster Management & Informatics' (IIHDMI) to address all types of hazards including environmental & climate change hazards, water hazards, earthquake hazards, disease/biological hazards, mechanical hazards, radiational hazards (Kaiga), maritime hazards, occupational hazards, ergonomic hazards etc. Related to health we have Biodosimetry Lab & then there is CHD Group working on public health centric policy. We need to strengthen them by having an institute capable of doing methodological hazard & disaster studies with computational modeling/simulation capabilities on disease/biological hazards & disaster management. We can club this model with Microclimate Model of the city for proper urban/rural planning addressing various hazard & disaster management aspects. Finally 'Alupa Enterprise' should be a unified model of everything. (I renamed 'Tulunadu Enterprise' as 'Alupa Enterprise' to expand its territory).

I think recent visit of HRD minister was a total failure and did not bring any R&D and training institute to Mangalore. We require a NOTA campaign for IIPE, IIHDMI & IMU/NIOT/CSMCRI.
