"Telecom Industry in India" The telecommunication industry in India was one of the most swiftly growing sectors in the world with stupendous growth over the last decade. It was regarded as the third largest in the world and the second largest among the emerging economies of Asia. Besides the public sector, the private segment had made significant contribution that had turned the industry into one of the key contributors to the Indian success story. It had an impressive growth trajectory, adding nearly 9 million subscribers per month, bringing the mobile subscriber base to over 903 million by January, 2012. BCG, in January, 2011, indicated that the Indian telecom market would surpass the US $100 billion mark by 2015. This report contradicted the prevalent common belief that growth in the telecom sector had reached a saturation point. In 1994, when mobile phones were introduced in India, the country was divided into 23 circles and licences were issued as per these circles. The circles were classified into four categories — Metros, A, B and C - on the basis of revenue potential; Metro and A circles were expected to have the highest potential. The telecom market in India was highly competitive compared to other countries, and there were over 11 operators in each circle, which was unheard of anywhere else in the world. Different players included Airtel, Reliance, Vodafone (earlier Hutch), Idea, Tata, state-owned BSNL and many more.

  • Housing Reconstruction and Retrofitting After the 2001 Kachchh, Gujarat Earthquake
    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 1723 HOUSING RECONSTRUCTION AND RETROFITTING AFTER THE 2001 KACHCHH, GUJARAT EARTHQUAKE Elizabeth A. HAUSLER, Ph.D.1 SUMMARY The January 26, 2001 Bhuj earthquake in the Kachchh district of Gujarat, India caused over 13,000 deaths and resulted in widespread destruction of housing stock throughout the epicentral region and the state. Over 1 million houses were either destroyed or required significant repair. Comprehensive, unprecedented and well-funded reconstruction and retrofitting programs soon followed. Earthquake-resistant features were required in the superstructure of new, permanent housing by the government and funding agencies. This paper describes those features and their implementation in both traditional (e.g., stone in mud or cement mortar) and appropriate (e.g., cement stabilized rammed earth) building technologies. Component-specific and overall costs are given. Relatively less attention has been paid to foundation design, however, typical foundation types will be described. Retrofitting recommendations and approaches are documented. Construction could be driven by homeowners themselves, by nongovernmental or donor organizations, or by the government or industry on a contractor basis. The approaches are contrasted in terms of inclusion and quality of requisite earthquake-resistant design elements, quality of construction and materials, and satisfaction of the homeowner. The rebuilding and retrofitting efforts required a massive mobilization of engineers, architects and masons from local areas as well as other parts of India. Cement companies, academics, engineering consulting firms, and nongovernmental organizations developed and held training programs reaching over 27,000 masons and nearly 8,000 engineers and architects.
