  • Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report
    Karnataka Tourism Vision group 2014 report KARNATAKA TOURISM VISION GROUP (KTVG) Recommendations to the GoK: Jan 2014 Task force KTVG Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report 1 FOREWORD Tourism matters. As highlighted in the UN WTO 2013 report, Tourism can account for 9% of GDP (direct, indirect and induced), 1 in 11 jobs and 6% of world exports. We are all aware of amazing tourist experiences globally and the impact of the sector on the economy of countries. Karnataka needs to think big, think like a Nation-State if it is to forge ahead to realise its immense tourism potential. The State is blessed with natural and historical advantage, which coupled with a strong arts and culture ethos, can be leveraged to great advantage. If Karnataka can get its Tourism strategy (and brand promise) right and focus on promotion and excellence in providing a wholesome tourist experience, we believe that it can be among the best destinations in the world. The impact on job creation (we estimate 4.3 million over the next decade) and economic gain (Rs. 85,000 crores) is reason enough for us to pay serious attention to focus on the Tourism sector. The Government of Karnataka had set up a Tourism Vision group in Oct 2013 consisting of eminent citizens and domain specialists to advise the government on the way ahead for the Tourism sector. In this exercise, we had active cooperation from the Hon. Minister of Tourism, Mr. R.V. Deshpande; Tourism Secretary, Mr. Arvind Jadhav; Tourism Director, Ms. Satyavathi and their team. The Vision group of over 50 individuals met jointly in over 7 sessions during Oct-Dec 2013.

  • Chapter Ii: Ministry of Civil Aviation
    Report No. 21 of 2015 (Volume I) CHAPTER II: MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION Airports Authority of India 2.1 Allotment of land for setting up and operations of flying clubs 2.1.1 Introduction Airports Authority of India (AAI) was formed by merger of International Airports Authority of India and National Airports Authority and came into existence on 1 April 1995 with the enactment of the Airports Authority of India Act, 1994. Section 11 of the Act envisaged that AAI in the discharge of its functions under the Act shall act on business principles. Till formation of AAI, Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) allotted land and hangar spaces to various flying schools/clubs/academies to impart training and other aviation related activities. This work was taken over by AAI from 1995. Till 2007, AAI did not have a defined policy for levying charges on flying schools/ flying clubs. In February 2007, AAI decided to classify flying clubs into two categories which are as follows: Category I: - Flying clubs/flying training organization registered as educational societies and operating on ‘no profit no loss’ basis to be charged nominal rates i.e. @ 10 per cent of the normal rates. Category II: - All other flying clubs/institutions to be charged at normal AAI rates for various services. There were 32 flying clubs/schools situated at various airports, under the control of AAI, in India (March 2014). The scope of audit was limited to the review of records at the AAI Corporate Office and examination of records at five regional headquarters Chennai (Southern), Mumbai (Western), Delhi (Northern), Kolkata (Eastern and North Eastern) and Hyderabad for a period of three years ended 31 March 2013; however, the data given in the para has been updated upto 31 March 2014.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.

  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.
