To encourage such ‘good practices’ Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, award selected ‘Best Practiced Projects’ every year. Between 2008-2011, 164 entries have been received, out of which 34 projects have been awarded as best practice (23) and emerging good projects (11).This report is based on a review of these projects. The objective of the study was to: • To assess the current status of the UMI awarded projects from 2008-2011. • To assess any other projects (Non awarded) that have shown growing benefits and scope for replication by other cities. • To describe process for replication of successful projects along with relevant references. Letters and brief questionnaires were sent to the civic bodies responsible for the projects, enquiring about the present status. 4 projects were inactive and no information was received from 7 projects. Therefore in total 23 Awarded projects were analysed in detail through site visits and correspondence(Table 1).At a later stage 7 other urban transport projects, showing growing benefits in scope, but have not received recognition or awards were assessed. The 12 categories under which awards were given by the Ministry were categorized into 4 broad groups i.e, public transport without private participation(Rail/STUs), private sector involvement in bus operations, non- motorized transport (Infrastructure/public bike sharing),Traffic engineering and demand management including ITS and compiled into brief case studies.

Public transport projectswithout private sector involvement (Table 2.) like Delhi Metro, BMTC, and Mumbai Suburban rail, showed growth in terms of network/services/routes , investments, use of new technologies like ITS and good management and HR policies. In the category of bus operation with involvement of private sector (Table 3), Ahmedabad Janmarg shows growth in terms of ridership and revenue due to addition of new corridors when compared to Delhi and Bhopal projects. However all 4 projects - Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Vadodara and Delhi show growth in terms of increase in revenue due to innovative financing mechanism, continuous growth in fleet and use of modern ITS Technology. Table 2.Public Transport without Private Sector Involvement Performance Name of Projects Indicators BMTC Bangalore, Sub urban Railway Delhi MRTS, Delhi Karnataka Mumbai, Maharashtra 128% Increase Ridership 19% 11% Increase revenue 53% 204.63% 47.42% 591(out of which 110 Reduction in 91% could have been N.Q.* accidents fatal)* Reduction of 3 hrs Increased speed from 80 Reduced travel N.Q. journey to 8o mins kmph to 100 kmph time/Increase speed Increase in 11% additional 14% additional lines 34% additional services routes/lines/services routes N.Q.-Not quantified N.Q* - Not quantified as MRVC not involved with operations. *As on date Non Motorized Transport Projects (Table 4) with innovative, revolutionary ideas like Fazilka EcoCabs, Dipbahan Rickshaw Bank, Green Bike, Delhi Project are excellent examples that balance both social and environmental sustainability. Also the Fazilka Ecocabs and Green Bike of Delhi help to provide the last mile connectivity to the commuters. Thus all three projects are said to be a success in its own way. 2 Best Practices in Urban Transport Table 3: Private Sector Involvement in Bus Operations Performance Name of Projects indicators Corporatisation Operation of Janmarg BRTS City bus services of Private Stage Modern Low Floor Ahmadabad, Vadodara, Carriage Buses in Buses on PPP Gujarat Gujarat Delhi Bhopal, MP Increased 564% 41% 79% 133% Ridership Earning

  • The Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore
    142 ■ Research Note ■ Forming a Class of Gentlemen: the Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore ● Aya Ikegame 1. Introduction In the second half of the nineteenth century, modern and western education became a crucial matter not only for the Brahmins or liter- ary classes who already occupied high status in the colonial adminis- tration, but also for the Kshatriyas, especially princes and royals [Allen and Dwivedi 1998; Price 1996]. It may be argued that they wished to maintain, through such education, their authority as 'proper rulers' both from the point of view of their people and from that of the colonial power)) But what is a 'proper ruler'? What did it mean to be a king or a Kshatriya ruler in colonial times? The topic, which will be discussed here, concerns the nature and form of modern education introduced among Indian rulers, royals, and their caste members, the Urs, in the princely state of Mysore from the end of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century.

    HERITAGE OF MYSORE DIVISION - Mysore, Mandya, Hassan, Chickmagalur, Kodagu, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Chamarajanagar Districts. Prepared by: Dr. J.V.Gayathri, Deputy Director, Arcaheology, Museums and Heritage Department, Palace Complex, Mysore 570 001. Phone:0821-2424671. The rule of Kadambas, the Chalukyas, Gangas, Rashtrakutas, Hoysalas, Vijayanagar rulers, the Bahamanis of Gulbarga and Bidar, Adilshahis of Bijapur, Mysore Wodeyars, the Keladi rulers, Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan and the rule of British Commissioners have left behind Forts, Magnificient Palaces, Temples, Mosques, Churches and beautiful works of art and architecture in Karnataka. The fauna and flora, the National parks, the animal and bird sanctuaries provide a sight of wild animals like elephants, tigers, bisons, deers, black bucks, peacocks and many species in their natural habitat. A rich variety of flora like: aromatic sandalwood, pipal and banyan trees are abundantly available in the State. The river Cauvery, Tunga, Krishna, Kapila – enrich the soil of the land and contribute to the State’s agricultural prosperity. The water falls created by the rivers are a feast to the eyes of the outlookers. Historical bakground: Karnataka is a land with rich historical past. It has many pre-historic sites and most of them are in the river valleys. The pre-historic culture of Karnataka is quite distinct from the pre- historic culture of North India, which may be compared with that existed in Africa. 1 Parts of Karnataka were subject to the rule of the Nandas, Mauryas and the Shatavahanas; Chandragupta Maurya (either Chandragupta I or Sannati Chandragupta Asoka’s grandson) is believed to have visited Sravanabelagola and spent his last years in this place.
