The Tamil Nadu Urban Flagship Investment Program (TNUFIP) will advance India’s national urban flagship programs to develop priority urban and environmental infrastructure in ten cities located within strategic industrial corridors of Tamil Nadu (the State), including those within the East Coast Economic Corridor (ECEC), to enhance environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and liveability. It will also strengthen the capacity of state and local institutions and improve urban governance. TNUFIP is aligned with the following impacts: (i) universal access to basic water and sanitation services achieved, (ii) world-class cities and industrial corridors across the State developed, and (iii) water security and reducing vulnerability to climate change in urban areas and enhancing share of renewable energy achieved. TNUFIP will have the following outcomes: liveability and climate resilience in at least 10 cities in priority industrial corridors enhanced. 2. The TNUFIP is structured under three outputs: (i) climate-resilient sewage collection and treatment, and drainage systems developed in at least 8 cities; (ii) water supply systems in at least 5 cities improved with smart features; and (iii) institutional capacity, public awareness, and urban governance strengthened. TNUFIP is implemented over an 8-year period beginning in 2018, and will be funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB). via its multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). 3. The Subproject. Chennai is the fourth largest Metropolitan city in India. In 2011, Chennai City has been expanded to 426 square kilometer (km2) from 176 km2 by the annexure of 42 adjacent Urban Local Bodies. The entire erstwhile Chennai city had been provided with water supply and sewerage facilities. Hence, CMWSSB has proposed to provide water supply and sewerage facilities in all the 42 added areas of Chennai city on par with erstwhile Chennai City. In the expanded Chennai city, at present water supply scheme has been completed in 13 added areas and in 23 added areas water supply schemes are under implementation. For the balance 6 added areas DPR for water supply scheme has been prepared. Now, under the TNUFIP, water supply schemes are being implemented in 4 added areas namely Mathur, Madipakkam, Jalladampettai and Uthandi having an area extent of 2.98 km2, 3.40 km2, 2.28 km2 and 3.41 km2 respectively totalling to 12.07 km2. The total road infrastructures available in the above four locations is around 219 km. The components of proposed water supply scheme includes: (i) water distribution station (WDS) at Mathur Zone II, which include 200 kl (kilolitre) capacity underground tank (UGT), and 1200 kl capacity overhead tank (OHT), and a pump house, (ii)WDS at Madipakkam, which include 900 kl UGT, 5,000 kl OHT and a pump house, (iii) WDS at Jalladampettai, which include 200 kl UGT, 1,300 kl OHT, and a pump house, (iv) WDS at Uthandi, which include 200 kl UGT, 800 kl OHT, and a pump house, (v) distribution network of total length 223.09 km of ductile iron (DI) pipes of diameter 100-900 mm covering all four water supply schemes, and (vi) 23,716 nos. house service connections. 4. Since it is proposed to source treated water from the existing water treatment plants, subproject proposals do not include source or treatment infrastructure. The subproject will essentially tap treated water from the existing water mains carrying water from the treatment plants, and supply to the subproject areas. 5.

  • Monsoon Assemblages
    MONSOON ASSEMBLAGES ELEMENTS OF THE URBAN HYDROLOGY OF SOUTH CHENNAI Literature Review Author: Michele Vianello Date: February 2017 ProJect Document Number: OV_Vianello_2017A Monsoon Assemblages sis a proJect funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Grant Agreement No. 679873. This review looks at the literature regarding the hydrology and the built up environment of South Chennai as well as the different types of knowledge shaped around them. It examines academic papers, books and book chapters originating in a wide variety of disciplines (eg. architecture, social sciences, geography, hydrology) as well as non-academic texts (eg. newspaper articles, official administrative body websites, NGO reports) and maps (eg. from official agencies, academic papers). It particularly attempts to understand how the different monsoonal cycles have been playing a role in shaping the hydrology and the built up environment as well as the different types of knowledge used to interpret them and act upon them, or else how these cycles failed to be effectively captured in the knowledge production. Addressing these themes required to examine a very diverse literature, at times tackling very specific aspects of the issues at hand. A consistent attempt has been made to coherently extract those bits of information and build an overall picture of the area while laying out the context and identifying relevant issues for the Monsoon Assemblages research project. In spite of this, this review does not claim to be a complete investigation on the elements of the hydrology of South Chennai: the objective has been rather that of identifying which gaps, pertinent to the Monsoon Assemblages line of enquiry, will have to be filled as well as scoping the field for the overall research.

    Teaching Asia’s Giants: India Facts About Asia: India’s Thriving Technology Industry The Infy hallmark pyramid. It serves as the multimedia studio for Infosys’s headquarters in Bangalore. Source: Wikimedia Commons at https://tinyurl.com/y4orqfx4. Introduction North American readers of this journal, even if they are not especially tech savvy, are likely familiar with Silicon Valley, located in the San Francisco Bay area, and many of the companies like Apple and Google that make the region their home. Fewer are likely aware of India’s own “Silicon Valley” and the various Indian private compa- nies and startups that help to make the IT sector one of the more faster growing sectors of the economy and cre- ate the prospect of India becoming a world leader in technology companies. According to the 2020 Global Innovation Index, an annual study of the most innovative countries across a series of industries published by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Cornell University and IN- SEAD, a top international private business school, India ranks as the world’s top exporter of information tech- nology (IT) and eighth in the number of science and engineering graduates. The IT industry is a highly significant part of the Indian economy today with the sector contributing 7.7% of India’s total GDP by 2017, a most impressive increase from 1998 when IT accounted for only 1.2% of the nation’s GDP.
