  • 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.

  • 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.

D, Naveen Kumar.G. N, Lakshmikanth B. P and Nageshwara Rao P. P M.Tech Student, Project Scientist (KSRSAC), Sr. Scientist (KSRSAC), Retd. Outstanding Scientist (ISRO)-Faculty (KSRSAC) VTU-Extension Centre, Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre (KSRSAC), Bengaluru-560027 Abstract - Accurate and reliable estimates of crop yield losses are crucial inputs for adjudicating the crop insurance and INTRODUCTION providing income security to the farmers. 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.

  • Graduate Student Summer Fieldwork Award Report, October 2019
    Institute for Regional and International Studies (IRIS) Graduate Student Summer Fieldwork Award Report, October 2019 Quantifying forest loss in the Nethravathi watershed, India Deepika Guruprasad, Environmental Observation and Informatics Master’s Program Nelson Institute, UW Madison. The Western Ghats is a mountain range which runs parallel to the western coast of India. It is a global biodiversity hotspot which is home to several endangered and endemic mammals, birds and plant species. Many life-sustaining rivers originate here and provide several irreplaceable ecosystem services. The Nethravathi river is one of the major west flowing rivers whose tributaries originate in these mountains. Its watershed has some of the last untouched tropical forests which are key to maintaining connectivity between two protected areas, Kudremukh National Park in the North and Pushpagiri Wildlife sanctuary in the South. In the last 20 years, this region has seen a rapid loss of forests due to ill-planned linear infrastructure projects such as pipelines, roads, hydroelectric, and river diversion dams. These projects have and continue to fragment the landscape as new projects are proposed and implemented with little or no impact assessment. Land use change alters a homogenous landscape into heterogeneous patches, which leads to habitat fragmentation. My summer leadership placement was with the wildlife advocacy non-profit, Wildlife First. The objective of this placement was to map and quantify forest loss due to linear infrastructure projects in the Nethravathi river watershed. Filling in data gaps using reliable land use maps and forest loss statistics is key to make evidence-based policy recommendations. The first part of my project was to map land use of the region using satellite imagery.

The sighted species included Leopard Cat, Rustyspotted Cat, Jungle Cat, Small Indian Civet, Asian Palm Civet, Brown Palm Civet, Common Mongoose, Ruddy Mongoose, Stripe-necked Mongoose and unidentified species of Otters. Malabar Civet, Fishing Cat, Brown Mongoose, Nilgiri Marten, and Ratel were not sighted during this study. The Western Ghats alone account for thirteen species of small carnivores of which six are endemic. The sighting of Rustyspotted Cat is the first report from Karnataka. Habitat loss and hunting are the major threats for the small carnivore survival in nature. The Small Indian Civet is exploited for commercial purpose. Hunting technique varies from guns to specially devised traps, and hunting of all the small carnivore species is common in the State. Key words: Felidae, Viverridae, Herpestidae, Mustelidae, Karnataka, threats INTRODUCTION (Mukherjee 1989; Mudappa 2001; Rajamani et al. 2003; Mukherjee et al. 2004).
