1. District Characteristics Dakshina Kannada District, Known As the “Cradle of Banking”, Is One of the Three Coastal Districts in Karnataka Dakshina Kannada PLP 2016-17 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. District characteristics Dakshina Kannada district, known as the “cradle of banking”, is one of the three coastal districts in Karnataka. The total geographical area of the district is 4,861 sq. kms. of which 27% is covered by forests. Soils are mainly lateritic and acidic in nature. The Gross Cropped Area (GCA) is 1.59 lakh ha. The Net sown Area (NCA) is 1.31 lakh ha. and forms 27% of the geographical area of 4.77 lakh ha. Small and marginal land holdings account for more than 90% of total land holdings and 61% of the cultivated land. Paddy is grown nearly in one-thirds of the GCA. The other major crops are Coconut (16,296 ha), Arecanut (28,232 ha), Cashew (31,288 ha), Rubber (10,838 ha),etc. Fisheries is another major activity. Agro processing and fish processing are also taken up on a large scale. There are more than 11,000 enterprises in the district providing employment to nearly 44,000 persons. Certain large industrial units like MRPL, MCF, KIOCL, Ultratech Cement, Hindustan Unilever Ltd., etc. are present and employ nearly 10,000 persons. Large IT companies like Infosys have also set up their offices in the IT park at Deralekatte. Beedi rolling is a dominant household activity among women in rural areas. The district has a sea and airport and is well connected to other parts of the State by road. The district is an education hub and also known for religious tourism. Medical facilities available in the district are state of the art. Mangalore, the district headquarters, has been shortlisted in the first list of Smart Cities by the Government of India, recently. 2. Sectoral trends in credit flow: While the banks were able to achieve the ACP targets during 2012-13, they could not achieve the targets during 2013-14 & 2014-15. The disbursements under Priority Sector during 2012-13, 2013-14 & 2014-15 stood at `4528.18 crore, `3,869.58 crore & `5,233.01 crore respectively. The CD ratio in the district which was 52.40% as on 31.3.2013 has been witnessing an increasing trend during the last two years. It stood at 53.64% & 56.47% as on 31.3.2014 and 31.3.2015 respectively. 3. Sector/sub-sector wise PLP projections for 2016-17: The exploitable potential for 2016-17 was estimated at `6,24,850.88 lakh in the base PLP which has been revised to `9,03,608.95 lakh. The realization of potential would depends on the removal of various constraints and developing critical infrastructure. 4 Major constraints Lack of extension services in both agriculture and horticulture sectors, absence of last mile connectivity for access to market by farmers, absence of assured irrigation, inadequate storage facilities like godowns and cold storages, erratic power supply are some of the major constraints faced in the district. Inability of the farmers to access credit from formal financial institutions for cultivating in leased lands without affecting the rights of the owner of the land is another major hurdle which needs to be addressed. 5 Action points/issues to be addressed State Government a. Implementing the Paschima Vahini project on a mission on a priority basis b. Building last mile road and bridge infrastructure c. Creating model horticulture farm and encouraging innovative/hi-tech/export oriented projects. d. Setting up of a disease diagnostic laboratories and training on dairy/poultry activities. e. Early operationalisation of industrial areas identified in Canara Industrial Area. f. Ensure regular & assured power supply and promote use of solar solar roof-tops. g. Recognition to landless cultivators to access farm credit from banks/cooperative institutions Banks a. Adopt alternative modes of lending, including JLGs mode, to boost economic activity in the district. b. Focus on financing activities like land development, irrigation structures, farm mechanization, artificial water recharge structures, new godowns and renovation of existing old godowns to facilitate accreditation and also provide loans to farmers on the strength of Negotiable Warehouse Receipts. 2 Dakshina Kannada PLP 2016-17 c. Follow appropriate norms for assessing working capital requirements. 6. Thrust areas for 2016-17 6.1 Mainstreaming the financially excluded :The past year has seen a number of steps taken towards promoting financial inclusion in a big way viz., the Pradan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), Prime Ministers Social Security Schemes, Mudra Yojana, etc. Mainstreaming these account holders into the banking fold with these new schemes would continue to be the thrust area for 2016-17. 6.2 Accelerating pace of capital formation in agriculture & allied sector: Banks to give thrust for agriculture term loans to farmers which will lead to capital formation in agriculture. 6.3 Promotion of JLGs : Banks need to adopt to JLG mode of lending, at least where lending to individual is not possible due to land title/security related issues and also to finance JLGs of fisherwomen. 6.4 De-risking farm income : Given the uncertainties in yield due to vagaries of nature, there is a need to de-risk the farm incomes. Banks may explore financing mini-dairy units/poultry (broiler) units in a big way. 6.5 Area Development Plan (ADP): Cocoa cultivation in Puttur and Sullia taluks is identified by NABARD for further development during 2016-17. NABARD & Department of Horticulture have promoted a number of FPOs/crop specific clusters in all the taluks. The new organizations are expected to have a demonstrative effect in other parts of the district. Bankers, on their own are encouraged to adopt such models and extend cluster based financing to farmers. 7. The way forward : The projections made in the PLP for 2016-17 call for coordinated approach by all stakeholders viz., Banks, Government departments, extension agencies, etc, which in turn is expected to enhance capital formation in agriculture. Banks are required to ensure timely reporting of credit flow data to the Lead Bank for meaningful review in DCC/DLRC meetings and ensuring timely corrective action.

  • 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.

  • Linguistic Ecology of Karnataka (A State in the Union of India)
    ================================================================= Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:7 July 2019 ================================================================ Linguistic Ecology of Karnataka (A State in the Union of India) Prof. B. Mallikarjun Former Director Centre for Classical Kannada Central University of Karnataka Kadaganchi, Aland Road, Kalaburagi District - 585311. KARNATAKA, INDIA [email protected] ================================================================= Introduction First let us look at two concepts. Landscape is ‘all the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.’ Ecology ‘is the relationships between the air, land, water, animals, plants etc., usually of a particular area, or the scientific study of this.’ It takes hundred or thousand or more years to bring changes in the grammatical structure of a language. Even after that time the change may remain incomplete. This refers to the internal changes in a language. But the economic, social and political and policy decisions in a country do not need more time to modify the linguistic demography. This reflects the external changes relating to a language. India became independent in 1947, conducted its first census after independence in 1951. It reorganised its administrative units on linguistic lines in 1956 and conducted the first census after reorganisation in 1961. The census data of 2011 helps us to understand the changes that have taken place in fifty years since 1971. This paper explores the linguistic demography of Karnataka, one of the states in India in terms of its landscape and ecology using the census data of 50 years from 1971 to 2011. Karnataka Karnataka is one of the states and union territories in southern part of India.

  • The Evolution of the Temple Plan in Karnataka with Respect to Contemporaneous Religious and Political Factors
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 7, Ver. 1 (July. 2017) PP 44-53 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Evolution of the Temple Plan in Karnataka with respect to Contemporaneous Religious and Political Factors Shilpa Sharma 1, Shireesh Deshpande 2 1(Associate Professor, IES College of Architecture, Mumbai University, India) 2(Professor Emeritus, RTMNU University, Nagpur, India) Abstract : This study explores the evolution of the plan of the Hindu temples in Karnatak, from a single-celled shrine in the 6th century to an elaborate walled complex in the 16th. In addition to the physical factors of the material and method of construction used, the changes in the temple architecture were closely linked to contemporary religious beliefs, rituals of worship and the patronage extended by the ruling dynasties. This paper examines the correspondence between these factors and the changes in the temple plan. Keywords: Hindu temples, Karnataka, evolution, temple plan, contemporary beliefs, religious, political I. INTRODUCTION 1. Background The purpose of the Hindu temple is shown by its form. (Kramrisch, 1996, p. vii) The architecture of any region is born out of various factors, both tangible and intangible. The tangible factors can be studied through the material used and the methods of construction used. The other factors which contribute to the temple architecture are the ways in which people perceive it and use it, to fulfil the contemporary prescribed rituals of worship. The religious purpose of temples has been discussed by several authors. Geva [1] explains that a temple is the place which represents the meeting of the divine and earthly realms.

  • Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage
    Sustaining Landscapes of Cultural Heritage: The Case of Hampi, India Final Report to The Global Heritage Fund Produced by Morgan Campbell 2012 Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage This report is the result of the Global Heritage Fund’s 2011 Preservation Fellowship Program. Research was undertaken by Morgan Campbell, a PhD student of Urban Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, during the summer of 2012. Global Heritage Fund Morgan Campbell 625 Emerson Street 200 [email protected] Palo Alto, CA 94301 www.globalheritagefund.org Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage ii Dedication I am incredibly grateful to numerous people for a variety of reasons. My time in Hampi during the summer of 2012 was one of the most significant experiences in my life. First, I dedicate this work to the Global Heritage Fund for providing me with the support to pursue questions of participatory planning in Hampi’s World Heritage Area. I thank James Hooper, whose earlier research in Hampi provided me with a good foundation and Dan Thompson who was incredibly understanding and supportive. Second, I’m deeply indebted to Shama Pawar of The Kishkindra Trust in Anegundi. Easily one of the most dynamic people I’ve ever met, without her assistance—which came in the form of conversations, tangible resources, and informal mentoring—I would have never been able to undergo this research project. It was because of Shama that I was able to experience and learn from Hampi’s living heritage. This report is about people, people who live in a heritage landscape. The residents of Hampi’s World Heritage Area are spread across time and space, so that when I say residents, I am referring to those living in the present and those who have lived in the past.
