  • 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.

  • Shimoga District at a Glance
    FOREWORD Groundwater is an essential component of the environment and economy. It sustains the flow in our rivers and plays an important role in maintaining the fragile ecosystems. The groundwater dependence of agrarian states like Karnataka is high. Recent studies indicate that 26 percent of the area of Karnataka State is under over exploited category and number of blocks is under critical category. In view of the growing concerns of sustainability of ground water sources, immediate attention is required to augment groundwater resources in stressed areas. Irrigated agriculture in the state is putting additional stress on the groundwater system and needs proper management of the resources. Central Ground Water Board is providing all technical input for effective management of ground water resources in the state. The groundwater scenario compiled on administrative divisions gives a better perspective for planning various ground water management measures by local administrative bodies. With this objective, Central Ground Water Board is publishing the revised groundwater information booklet for all the districts of the state. I do appreciate the efforts of Dr. K.Md.Najeeb, Regional Director and his fleet of dedicated Scientists of South Western Region, Bangalore for bringing out this booklet. I am sure these brochures will provide a portrait of the groundwater resources in each district for planning effective management measures by the administrators, planners and the stake holders. Dr. S. C. Dhiman PREFACE Ground water contributes to about eighty percent of the drinking water requirements in the rural areas, fifty percent of the urban water requirements and more than fifty percent of the irrigation requirements of the nation.

  • B. Pre-Feasibility Report (Extracts of DPR) 1
    Water Re-circulation and Environmental Sustainability Pre-feasibility Report Project for Jog Falls, Shivamogga District Karnataka B. Pre-feasibility report (extracts of DPR) 1. Executive Summary x The proposed project is a water recirculation project by pumping 400 cusecs of water in the summer months (8 months, November - June) from the storage pond near MGHE to the weir proposed to be constructed in the upstream of Sita Katte bridge and use the reversible flow in the same pipeline for generating power for 4 months (July-October). x The water from the weir will be released to the falls in the summer months (for about 8 months from November to June). This pumped water, drops over the falls for a maximum of about 8 hours each day for 8 months. The discharged water at the upstream will have a natural distribution through cascades before the drop in the falls. x In rainy season (June to October), the same pipeline would be used to generate power. The pump house/power house will be located in the area opposite side of Mahatma Gandhi Hydro Electric (MGHE) power house adjacent to Ambuthirtha reservoir/MGHE powerhouse tail water pond. The reservoir has sufficient storage capacity. x The water is pumped directly from the downstream storage pond through two pipes of 1600 mm diameter, which passes through a tunnel near Bombay guest house. The total distance to be covered from the pump house to the foot of the anicut near the Sita Katte bridge shall be approximately 3210 m. x The power house with two generators will be with an installed capacity for generation of power of 16.61 MW each in monsoon months (totalling to 47.84 million units) and the power consumed in non-monsoon months (pump mode) would be 24.74 MW each amounting to 47.80 Million units.

    Indian Available online at Journal of Advances in www.ijacskros.com Chemical Science Indian Journal of Advances in Chemical Science 4(3) (2016) 276-280 Elemental Composition of Leaves of Memecylon talbotianum Brand., - Endemic Plant of Western Ghats B. Asha1, M. Krishnappa1*, R. Kenchappa2 1Department of Applied Botany, Kuvempu University, Shankaraghatta, Shimoga - 577 451, Karnataka, India. 2Department of P.G. Studies and Research in Industrial Chemistry, Kuvempu University, Shankaraghatta, Shimoga - 577 451, Karnataka, India. ABSTRACT Memecylon talbotianum Brand., an endemic plant of Western Ghats, was found in the Western Ghats regions of Karnataka. The plants were collected at Banajalaya of Sagara taluk and at Hidlumane falls of Hosanagara taluk, Shimoga district. The plant has been studied, identified, and its taxonomic position was assigned, the herbarium was prepared and preserved in the Department of Applied Botany, Kuvempu University. Simultaneously, the leaves of the plants were analyzed for their elemental components and nutritional values. Among the macronutrients, calcium was highest both in Banajalaya of Sagara and Hidlumane falls of Hosanagara, whereas phosphorous was minimum at Banajalaya of Sagar and sodium was minimum at Hidlumane falls of Hosanagara samples. The micronutrient value of iron was highest at both Hidlumane falls of Hosanagara and Banajalaya of Sagara samples and copper was lowest at Banajalaya of Sagara and zinc was lowest at Hidlumane falls of Hosanagara sample, respectively. The moisture was highest both at Banajalaya of Sagara and Hidlumane falls of Hosanagara samples, whereas ash value was low at Banajalaya of Sagara and crude fat was low at Hidlumane falls of Hosanagara sample among the different components of the nutritive values.

Notwithstanding Conventional method of yield estimation is through crop several schemes in vogue to improve the crop estimates, there cutting experiments but due to drawbacks like incomplete have been delays in settling the insurance claims. It is to framework, improper sample size, different type of selection improve this situation that the study presented here is focused on evaluating the use of geospatial techniques in assessing the of crop, area measurement variation and non-sampling errors impact of rainfall and drought occurrence on crop growth and (like measurement area inaccuracy, field reporting condition and implication in crop insurance. inaccuracy, etc.).Hence geospatial approach for yield estimation is done. The study is aimed at understanding the different parameters that affect crop yield and to relate their behaviour MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY with the remotely sensed parameters such as Normalised Study area Difference Vegetative Index, Normalised Difference Drought The Study area is entire Shivamogga district. Shivamogga Index and Normalised Difference Moisture Index. The study district lies in Malnad region of the Western Ghats in was conducted in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka state.
