EAST COAST ROAD, TAMIL NADU, INDIA Case Study
EAST COAST ROAD, TAMIL NADU, INDIA Case Study (Transportation) Project Summary: The southern India state of Tamil Nadu has been a leader in the area of urban sector reforms and has established an efficient framework to carry out this process. One of the tools it has used for a variety of infrastructure projects has been public-private partnerships (PPPs). The government's objective has been to facilitate the development of modern urban infrastructure, while providing an enabling environment for the participation of the private sector in this development. The East Coast Road project is one of the resulting PPP projects managed by an entity which is itself a public-private partnership. The first of the Tamil Nadu government's series of public-private partnerships for roadways was commissioned in 1998, as the Tamil Nadu Road Development Company Ltd. (TNRDC). This enterprise was structured as a model public-private partnership between the public agency known as the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) and the private consortium IL&FS. This PPP was intended to leverage state resources by encouraging private sector investment. The TNRDC's purpose was to improve the small roads connecting the state capital Chennai with the town of Cuddalore. The objective was to reduce traffic congestion, facilitate local business and trade, and reduce the local air pollution. This was done by upgrading the road design, employing contemporary construction techniques, and operating the road using the latest technology. The project was also expected to serve as a catalyst for private sector investment and participation in infrastructure development. However, this initial agreement lacked a sufficient financial base, which slowed maintenance work in the project. -
Ennore Port, 16 Km North of Chennai Port, Another Erosion Problem Was Emerged and Similar Issues Like Chennai Port Are on the Way
i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The coastline of Chennai with a hinterland of 20km offer a variety of environmental issues and problems, which need integrated management. These include the coastal erosion and accretion, pollution from human settlement and industries, loss of aesthetics in tourism beaches and declining fishery resources. The ICMAM Project Directorate undertook the task of analysing above problems and prepared integrated management solutions, which will help to solve these problems and also avoidance of occurrence of such problems in future. It is well known that the shoreline along Chennai coast is subjected to oscillations due to natural and man made activities. After construction of Chennai port, coast north of port is eroded and 350 hectares land is lost into sea. The river Cooum that carries domestic sewage is closed due to accretion of sand south port. State Government resorted to short term measures for protecting coastal stretch of length 6 km at Royapuram with sea wall and the erosion problem shifted to further north. Now with the construction of Ennore port, 16 km North of Chennai port, another erosion problem was emerged and similar issues like Chennai port are on the way. If, no intervention is planned, threat to ecologically sensitive Pulicat Lake is inevitable. North Ennore Coast is already experiencing increased wave action and the naturally formed protection barriers, the “Ennore Shoals”, may likely to be disturbed by construction of Port. Baseline data reveal that the Ennore creek on south of Ennore port is experiencing increased siltation. Since the available information on Ennore coast is not sufficient for working out suitable measures, a research project entitled “Shoreline management along Ennore” has been formulated to conduct detailed field and model investigations on various dynamical aspects (water level variations, currents & circulation, tides, waves, bathymetric variations, sediment transport, shoreline changes etc) of Ennore coast covering Ennore creek to Pulicat mouth. -

Geopolitical Tamil Nadu
Geopolitical Tamil Nadu Courtesy : Sree Chidambaram.I Introduction Tamil Nadu, the southern‐most State of India, nestles in the Indian peninsula between the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Indian Ocean in the south and the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea on the west. In the north and west, the State adjoins Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Tamil Nadu shows rich variety and diversity in its geography and climate with coastal plains co‐existing with tropical rain forests, river valleys and hill stations. The main river is the 760 km long Cauvery, which flows along the entire breadth of Tamil Nadu. Other major rivers are the Palar, Pennar, Vaigai and Tamiraparani. History Tamil Nadu has a very ancient history which goes back some 6000 years. The State represents Dravidian culture in India which preceded Aryan culture in the country by almost a thousand years. Historians have held that the architects of the Indus Valley Civilization of the fourth century BC were Dravidians and that at a time, anterior to the Aryans, they were spread all over India. With the coming of the Aryans into North India, the Dravidians appear to have been pushed into the south, where they remained confined to Tamil Nadu, with the other southern States such as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala forming repositories of Dravidian culture. The Tamil country was not subjugated by any external power over any long period of time or over large areas, and was not subjected to the hegemony of Hindu or Muslim kingdoms of North India. The rise of Muslim power in India in the 14thcentury AD had its impact on the South, however, by and large the region remained unaffected by the political upheavals in North and Central India. -
Chengalpattu District
DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.
