Our urban development bodies, be it the Corporation, PWD, Roads and Bridges Development Corporation or GCDA lack the vision, manpower or funds to carry out the bludgeoning needs of the urban sets. This is where a few city-oriented working groups and NGOs have stepped in, one of the notable ones being Kerala Urban Development Society. (KUDS)

KUDS is a Cochin based organization formed to offer a holistic approach to the primary peeve: urban planning and sustainable development in our cities. KUDS has in its ranks individuals, groups and Governmental organizations to devise and implement elaborate and systematic plan of action for infrastructure development with the involvement of Public and Private Partnership in Kerala and Cochin in particular.

The idea of  ‘citizens working for the city’ has been successfully tried and tested everywhere in the world. With some very high profile members like Mercy Williams (Cochin Mayor),  EC Jose (Chairman, Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industry)and D. Dhanuraj (Chairman, CPPR) adorning their ranks, KUDS plan to include the expertise from NRIs, professionals and corporates during various phases of job execution.

Only a few months into its formation, KUDS has already envisaged and implemented a few notable projects which could be pivotal for the Queen. The Vytilla Mobililty Hub is heading towards realization, thanks also to the efforts of Mr. Dhanuraj, by influencing the power circles in the state and nation capitals.

Vytilla Mobility Hub Phase I

As a follow-up to the Vytilla terminal, KUDS now has now teamed up with leading architects like Ajith Associates,  planning minor satellite hubs by rearranging bus-stops with integrated mobility and also the MG Road walking plaza.

Exploring environmentally friendly energy sources is one area KUDS concentrate.  Making Cochin Kerala’s first solar-city is an ambitious programme undertaken by the Corporation in association with KUDS.  The main aim of the project is to power the city and promote increased use of renewable energy. Initially, solar lights will be installed at public places including Subhash Chandra Bose Park, Fort Kochi Nehru Park, Kunnara Park, Fort Kochi beach and Jankar Jetty. Early this year KUDS planned and organized a public presentation about a Enviromental and Ecofriendly energy concept in association with Synergy Environics. (details of all activities on KUDS website)

A tele-classroom is a concept introduced with the aim of providing quality education from various institutes in India and abroad to the students residing in remote villages and small towns of India.

A tele-classroom has a large LCD screen, computers and other equipments that enable to conduct classes from educational studios set up in cities to transmit classroom sessions through Internet connectivity. Two-way communication is a notable feature of tele-classroom. Students and teachers can interact with each other like in a real classroom, though they may be located miles apart.

Mr.Ram Mohan, Chief Executive Officer, Edyounet Technologies believes the new concept can bring down the cost of education.

Teleclassroom, definitely seems to be an interesting concept as it could reach those who have cut down on their educational dreams due to financial constraints or for the inability to travel and reside in a far away city or for any other reason.  In the days to come, you and I are probably going to sit in a tele-classroom studio and learn a new language or dance or a management topic from a reputed institute being imparted through Edyounet. Happy learning!

A technology innovation centre is scheduled to open by the end of April at Infopark, Kochi. An MOU was signed between the  representative of Sharjah Chanber of Commerce and Industry and Siddhartha Bhattacharya Infopark CEO.

“It will be a mutually beneficial arrangement for the Sharjah-based companies as well as IT companies in Kerala”, said Dr Ajay Kumar, principal secretary, Information Technology Department, Kerala.

The agenda behind the centre opening is the huge amount of business from this reciprocal business. There are hundreds of companies in Sharjah which could avail the IT services from Kerala based IT companies, which definitely would be a boost for us.

Sharjah is among the top 7 of emirates of the United Arab Emirates in terms of financial adequacy and industrial spread. The Hamriyah Free Zone Authority, an officially backed facility for setting up industrial units, has attracted over 400 Indian companies  over the past few years.

“Though economic slowdown had affected the emirate, it is fast recovering from the situation and new opportunities are emerging; but it is not possible to mention a specific point of time for total recovery”,said General Rashid Al Leem, Hamriyah Free Zone Authority Director  .

We wish all success to this venture !!!
