DAY TOUR TO GURUVAYUR TEMPLE AND ELEPHANT CAMP Around 07:30 AM, pick up from respective hotels in Cochin and proceed to Guruvayur (Around 2 ½ hrs drive). Upon arrival visit Punnathur Elephant Court. Punnathurkotta was once the palace of a local ruler, but the palace grounds are now used to house the elephants belonging to the Guruvayoor temple, and has been renamed Anakkotta (meaning "Elephant Fort"). There were 86 elephants housed there, but currently there are about 59 elephants. The elephants are ritual offerings made by the devotees of Lord Guruvayurappa. This facility is also used to train the elephants to serve Lord Krishna as well as to participate in many festivals that occur throughout the year. The oldest elephant is around 82 years of age and is called 'Ramachandran'. Later visit the famous Guruvayur Temple. Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Krishna (an avatar of the god Vishnu), located in the town of Guruvayur in Kerala, India. It is one of the most important places of worship for Hindus of Kerala and is often referred to as "Bhuloka Vaikunta" which translates to the "Holy Abode of Vishnu on Earth". Have lunch from Guruvayur and proceed back to conference venue. En route visit Kodungaloor. Once a maritime port of international repute because of its strategic location at the confluence of the Periyar River and the Arabian Sea, Kondugalloor was considered the gateway to ancient India or the Rome of the East, because of its status as a centre for trade. It was also the entry point of three major religions to India - Christianity, Judaism and Islam. It was known by the Greek as the Muziris and is a place immersed in rich history. It is said to be the place where St. Thomas first preached Christianity in India. Note: Photography is strictly prohibited at Elephant Camp.

GTOB had to deposit an amount equal to the estimated cost of recommended grading, landscaping, parking etc. as a “guarantee” to be refunded once the work is completed to the satisfaction of the city officials. Subsequent changes suggested or made by City and GTOB resulted in further delay by more than one year. We have made modifications to the maximum extent possible, to reduce the cost to affordable levels and to minimize both the debt load and time for construction.

Impact of the Proposed Cargo Port on the Traffic Characteristics of Ponnani Town and Abatement Measures
ISSN (Online) : 2319 - 8753 ISSN (Print) : 2347 - 6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization, Volume 2, Special Issue 1, December 2013 Proceedings of International Conference on Energy and Environment-2013 (ICEE 2013) On 12th to 14th December Organized by Department of Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering of Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology, Kottayam, Kerala, India IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED CARGO PORT ON THE TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PONNANI TOWN AND ABATEMENT MEASURES Irshad C. K., Gymmy Joseph Kattoor, Abdul Malik K.V. MTech Scholar, RIT Kottayam, Kerala India Professor, RIT Kottayam, Kerala India District Town Planner Malappuram, Kerala India ABSTRACT Traffic impact assessment is a powerful tool for engineers to determine the possible impacts of a project on the traffic and transportation infrastructure and to identify the road way improvements required to ensure that the road network will operate safely and efficiently for upcoming years. This study examines the impact that a cargo port at Ponnani would have on roadway travel and transportation infrastructure, both today and in the future, throughout the region and recommend abatement measures. The study will use a spread sheet based model to determine the number of road vehicles especially cargo trucks that would be added to the existing traffic flows as a result of the proposed cargo port. The assessment will be focused on the daily and peak hour traffic associated with the project after it will be commissioned on 2017. Specific travel demand forecasts for the Ponnani town would be assessed both for the existing traffic situation and for the traffic attracted due to the initiation of the cargo port.

However its coverage has been limited. It has covered only a small portion of the poor children in several states. The total coverage has been about 13 million children in the country in 1978. This has increased to 17 million by the end of 1983. Further there has been no uniformity in organization of school lunch in most of the states. In some states the programme has been limited to certain districts. The school lunch programme has been initiated in Kerala in 1941. The operation of this scheme has spread to all schools by the year 1961-62. Under the scheme, rice or wheat kanji has been given to the children at noon. The present school lunch programme is called Midday Meal Programme (MDM) launched by the Government of India in all states. Under this programme, the entire cost of food grains supplied by the FCI, the cost of transportation of food grains from the godowns of FCI to the schools and the expenditure involved in management, monitoring and evaluation of the scheme are borne by government of India.

SEMESTER at SEA COURSE SYLLABUS University of Virginia, Academic Sponsor
SEMESTER AT SEA COURSE SYLLABUS University of Virginia, Academic Sponsor Voyage: Spring 2016 Discipline: Religious Studies RELG 1005-101: World Religions Division: Lower Faculty Name: Patrick T. McCormick Credit Hours: 3; Contact Hours: 38 Pre-requisites: None COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is an introduction to the world’s major religions, particularly the influential religious traditions in the countries we will visit in Asia and Africa. To live and work in a global village where we interact with people and communities from different religious traditions we need to understand and appreciate these neighbors’ religious worldviews. In this course we will examine and compare the beliefs, texts, figures, rituals, and shrines of the world’s most practiced religions and explore how these traditions answer life’s “big questions” (the meaning of existence, what happens after death, how life ought to be lived, etc.) and how they help their members to negotiate life’s crises and passages, and how they have functioned internally, and in relation to those outside them, as means for unity, division, solace and/or exploitation. COURSE OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: • Demonstrate familiarity with the basic beliefs, practices, texts, and rituals of the major religious traditions, especially the dominant traditions in the Asian and African nations we visit. • Compare and contrast the basic beliefs, practices, texts, and rituals of the major religious traditions we study in this course. • Analyze the basic principles of interfaith dialogue, instances of religious conflict, and processes and consequences of religion’s being imposed or adopted • Demonstrate understanding of how religion has been viewed and critiqued as a resource for building more peaceful and just societies.
