Dandi L&E World EIA REPORT FOR CRZ CLEARANCE DANDI L&E WORLD CHAPTER –5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES 5.0 INTRODUCTION Various alternative sites were studied in order to identify a suitable location for the proposed project. 5.1 SWOT ANALYSIS In order to select an optimum and most feasible site for the development of the proposed project, SWOT analysis was carried out. The tool comprises of four parameters based on which the site is evaluated: 1. Strengths – S 2. Weaknesses – W 3. Opportunity – O 4. Threats – T 5.1.1 Strengths (S) Location, view and altitude: It is located in a region that is surrounded with natural splendor and characteristicsthat are unique to the village on the historical beach. This secluded village does nothave nothing to offer in regard to good resort or restaurants, cafés and holiday life,but opens a gateway to the world of nature and breathtaking seascapes. Distance from major town Dandi is just 10 kilometers west of Navsari and 49 km away from Surat, the businesscapital city of Gujarat. By road just a 2 hour drive from Surat Airport and Due to itscloseness to Surat, tourist can even return back the same day after visit. The location and itsheritage value identify Dandi as a favorable position for tourism development. Facilities Due to its proximity to urban areas like Surat, Navsari, Bilimora, Valsad and Vapi; Dandi has relatively more facilities available than other places in similar settings.Besides clear and calm beach, road, electricity, communication facilities are also welldeveloped. Local health post are also nearby anddrinking water is also not much a problem here. It is a destination for all seasons and is a perfect place for historical study, Beach sport entertainment, Marriages and other family function celebrations,or any other visitors with short stay on the beach resort in Gujarat, family holidays,meditation, seminars and place to unwind or undertake outdooractivities as well. ECO CHEM SALES & SERVICES Page | 101 2014_ECSS_EIACR_1400098 EIA REPORT FOR CRZ CLEARANCE DANDI L&E WORLD Price To make a nice cozy day trip from Surat, it costsaround INR 100 only as transportation fare. But in the downside there is no facilityfor food and night stay. Otherwise tourists from South Gujarat would love to visit this beautiful village frequently. Cultural setting Dandi is a melting pot of Hinduism and Islam. This two religions and various ethniccommunities have blended here with a mutual reverence and appreciation for eachother. There are temples and dargahs around the village. Other historical places near Dandi are: 1.) Andheshwar Mahadev temple at Amalsad(20 km from Navsari) 2.) Somnath Mahadev temple at Billimora(30 km from Navsari) 3.) Navsari Agricultural University Place for study Many visitors come here to study and make research on different generals of plantspecies, other floraand fauna as well as life of Gandhiji. There are plenty of medicinal land ornamental herbs/plants available here. Farms and beaches are resonating withbird calls during winter. Activities As of now very few activities available for the recreation and entertainment of thetourists, but looking to the number of the tourists, the scenario will change.Dandi’s seashore has become popular amongst tourists from nearby cities of Navsariand Surat and remains fairly crowded during weekends. i. Bird Watching: One can experience the life time opportunity to see birds in the farms and beach area. Different species of wild and exotic birds can be spotted here. Birds like Cuckoo, Mynah, Parrot, Cranes, Bulbul, and many more migratory birds can be seen in their dwellings or flying in flocks. Many migratory birds are alsofound here during winter season. ii. Boating / Fishing: Dandi beach is 7km long and stocked with lots of varieties of fish including delicious catfish. The sea offers boating and fishing opportunities as well. iii. Sunrise / Sunset Walk: Sunrise and Sunset from the Dandi beach are unmatched anywhere in the Gujarat region. 5.1.2 Weakness(W) Quality of service Quality of services provided by local hotels are not up to the par with minimumrequired standards. Also, there are nosafe placesor an overnight stay. The tourists have to suffer due to limited facilities available. Lack of promotional activities In spite of being crowded with local tourist and close to Surat, Dandi is almostobscured from the eyes of tourists. It has not been able to be among the first choice tovisit by them. It has mostly been visited as ECO CHEM SALES & SERVICES Page | 102 2014_ECSS_EIACR_1400098 EIA REPORT FOR CRZ CLEARANCE DANDI L&E WORLD last minute hurried visit or as filler by thetravel agency in their holiday packages. Targeted promotional activities related to Dandcan further attract tourist to explore this place. 5.1.3 Opportunity(O) Increasing arrival of tourist Gujarat has 1600 km long beach front and still there are only a few good beach resortsavailable that can attracts foreign tourist, and develop taste for beach frontcelebrations. Recently Tourism department of Gujarat has also declared interest todevelop beaches. So, along with the positive developmental activities in collaboration with the Tourism department, numbers of tourist is expected to experience a rise in the upcoming years. Under-utilization of assets The locally available resources are not utilized to its full potential. If the available resources like beach, lake, flora & fauna and thehuman resources can be optimally utilized, the tourism industry has enough scope of expansion. This under-utilization of assets can be taken as an opportunity for the planned and sustainable approach indeveloping tourism, especially beach tourism in the unexplored areas like Dandi. Local tourism Recent data shows that the travelling pattern and behavior of tourists in Gujarat ischanging. People are spending more time visiting new places rather than places visited earlier. Many people plan trips to other tourist spots nationally or internationally in lack of available nearby tourist attractions. If local tourists are targeted towards a locally available resort, the outflow of tourists out of Gujarat may be reduced as well as inflow of foreign tourists may be increased. Easy road access As Dandi is situated very easily connected with NH8, it has got an opportunity toflourish. The highway is one of the most peaceful and pleasant one to ride, manyother link roads have also been opened around Dandi which has made the place moreaccessible to tourists. In future star category resorts, with good stay and dining facility, amusement parks, theme parks and water parks with direct air service will alsoattract tourists from all over India. 5.1.4 Threat (T) Competition for the limited time of tourists Dandi has to compete with various other tourist locations for the limited number of tourists due to Daman and Devka Beach front in central territory. Not all touristscoming to India know about Dandi and they hesitate to take risk which can otherwise ruin their holidays and many other happy moments of life. So, Dandi has toovercome this threat by conducting different promotional activities and by buildingother attractions in and around Dandi. Climate change ECO CHEM SALES & SERVICES Page | 103 2014_ECSS_EIACR_1400098 EIA REPORT FOR CRZ CLEARANCE DANDI L&E WORLD Climate change has caused irregularity in the climate pattern all over the world. Beinglocated in the lap of Arabian Sea, the impact of this climate change can also be expected here. Also, due to salt water intrusion, ground water is salty and cannot be used for potable purposes. Pollution Pollution of all form, may it be air pollution, water pollution, land pollution or noisepollution has an adverse effect in the life of locals, tourists, wildlife and plant andvegettation. It is also detrimental for the quality of environment required for serene,ranquil and a panoramic atmosphere. 5.2 ALTERNATE SITE STUDY ANALYSIS Figure 5.1:Site Alternatives Apart from “Dandi beach” there are two alternate sites near Navsari districtwhich were studied for the same project. 1.)

  • Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (Three Case Stories)
    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • Join Us As We Cycle Mahatma Gandhi's Famous Salt March Route
    CYCLE THE SALT RIDE Join us as we cycle Mahatma Gandhi’s famous Salt March route from Ahmedabad to Dandi THE DANDI RETREAT 17th to 22nd December 2019 Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi Beach Thirty-five years before Dr. Martin Luther King marched from Selma to Montgomery, a 60-year-old Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi led dozens of his followers on a 384 km journey from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a small village on the Arabian Sea, to protest British rule. Leaning on a long walking stick and dressed as always in modest homespun clothes, Gandhi hoped to bring worldwide attention to the growing Indian independence movement by highlighting the injustice of Britain’s colonial salt laws, which forbid Indians from producing or selling their own salt. The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March or the Salt Satyagra- ha, began on March 12, 1930, near Gandhi’s religious retreat in Sabar- mati Ashram, and proceeded some 384 km southward over 24 days toward the coastal village of Dandi, where a crowd of thousands watched as Gandhi and his followers deliberately broke the law by evaporating seawater to make their own salt. Go Dharmic will be celebrating the completion of 50 libraries for underprivileged children and also launching the campaign to plant 1 million trees. Join us on the 16th of December 2019 to raise awareness for the vast array of issues facing our environment by riding the route of Mahatma Gandhi’s famous salt march. We will cycle from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to Dandi Beach and make a stand for our planet and raise funds for Go Dharmic and its campaigns.

This can result in significant undercounting of COVID- 19 attributable deaths, making it challenging to understand the total mortality burden of the pandemic. Excess mortality, which is defined as the increase in observed death counts compared to a baseline expectation, provides an alternate measure of the mor- tality shock of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Coastline of Gujarat 2012
    INTRODUCTION India has a coastline of about 7,500 km , with nearly 250 million people living within 50 km of the coast. The coastal area accounts for 130 cities and a very significant share of India's economic infrastructure.
