The growing economy requires expansion of existing carriageways into multi-lane expressways and development of new roads / rail routes. However, difficult subsoil conditions along with high economic and social costs and dearth of good construc- tion materials coupled with environmental constraints pose major challenges to the development of the road and rail networks. The International Conference on Geotechnics for High Speed Corridors- GHC 2019 aims to highlight the latest Geotechnical innovations and challenges in Transportation Engineering projects. It is the second International Conference organized by the Indian Geotechnical Society – Thiruvananthapuram Chapter. The conference will provide a platform for Academicians, Research scholars, Practicing Engineers and Students working in the area of Geotechnical Engineering to interact and share their experience and knowledge. This conference provides an opportunity for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find partners for future collaboration.

It was ranked as the best geotechnical activity. The Thiruvananthapuram Chapter was inaugurated in the year 2015 and is one among the youngest city in Kerala to live, in a 2012 survey by Times of India. The city was also ranked as the best city in India for Housing and chapters of the Indian Geotechnical Society Transport by a survey conducted by India Today. Thiruvananthapuram is a popular destination for tourists. Kovalam is a popular beach town located 16 kilometres from the TC 202 TRANSPORTATION GEOTECHNICS, ISSMGE city.

Besides furnishing the data which has made this book possible, he has also made very significant contribution in shaping the final outcome of this book. Shri.V.Rajeev, Chief Booking Supervisor, Kollam has put in the painstaking efforts in actual compilation of the data in a booklet form. 5 6 INDEX Note: While Thiruvananthapuram Central (TVC), in view of its prominence and proximity to divisional headquarters, has been included as the first station under the section “Station-wise profile” at Page No 37, the other stations comprising the division appear in geographical order commencing from the southern end and progressing towards the north. Hence, Melapalayam station follows TVC and so on. After Tripunithura, the stations on the Kayankulam- Alapuzha route i.e from Cheppad to Tirunettur has been included. The northwardly pattern continues from Ernakulam Jn onwards (page 235); and needless to add, the final station Vallatholnagar winds up this section.

This land of rare natural beauty is steeped in history and culture, but it has still kept up with the times, Kerala has taken its tourism very seriously. It is not for nothing than that the Eden in these tropics; God’s own country was selected by National Geographic Traveler as one of its 50 “destination of life time”. When it comes to building a result oriented development programme, data collection is key in any sector. To capitalize the opportunity to effectively bench mark, it is essential to collect data’s concerned with the matter. In this context statistical analysis of tourist arrivals to a destination is gaining importance .We need to assess whether the development of destination is sufficient to meet the requirements of visiting tourists. Our plan of action should be executed in a meticulous manner on the basis of the statistical findings. Kerala Tourism Statistics 2019 is another effort in the continuing process of Kerala Tourism to keep a tab up-to-date data for timely action and effective planning, in the various fields concerned with tourism. I wish all success to this endeavor.
