Dear Readers,
Thiruvananthapuram was in the news of national media for a
good reason. The credit goes to Haritha V Kumar, who topped the
prestigious Civil Services Examinations this year from our city after
almost twenty two years when Raju Narayanaswamy achieved
the feat way back in 1991. We share the moment of success and
happiness with Haritha and her family, and wish her all the best in
steering the growth of our nation through better governance.
Be it waste management, infrastructure, electricity, water supply
or other amenities, it’s common to hear our citizens blaming the
authorities for the drawbacks we face on a day to day basis. But is it
really the authorities who are solely responsible for such municipal
mismanagement of our city? If not then why are they held singularly
responsible?
Accusing someone else is the easiest way of running away from
our own responsibilities. If you go through world history or epics,
better country is built by its own people along with their rulers.
Comparing to any developed country or developing country of
India’s stature, we are blessed to live with freedom to the most.
Instead of respecting the responsibility of the freedom this country
bestowed upon us, we tend to misuse or abuse it time to time, to
spoil its glory and pride.
It’s each of our responsibility to keep our city developed. The
authorities who rule our city are the ones whom we have chosen
from ourselves, they are not different. They just represent us. Let’s
pledge ourselves to change for the betterment of the society, and
contribute to its lost glory. As committed, Metro Mart continues to
feature further in this edition about our city’s development.
Metro Mart always believes in being part of the noble efforts
initiated by the cityites. With the support of Kalanidhi and FRAT,
Metro Mart got the opportunity to be a helping hand of Manakattu
Vilakattu Veettil Sasidharan Assari’s family in Kadinamkulam who
were adopted by the trio. A carpenter, for the last seven years
Sasidharan Assari was suffering from urinary disease, but was
continuing his work carrying a bag to collect urine. He was detected
with cancer two months ago which brought the entire family into
distress. Assessing the situation, the trio were not only able to give
temporary relief to the family, but a hope to their future.
In this edition of METRO, we are featuring Naz in shopping, Divya
Spa Leela in Beauty, Fab India in Home, UDS in Dining along with
our other regular contents. It’s always encouraging to hear from
you, the only medium for us to improve. You can write to me at
hari@martinfotech.in. Let me take leave till we come out with the
next edition.
Cheerz!

Continuing with our efforts to uphold the develop-
ment process of Thiruvananthapuram, we had begun -
in our last issue - to examine the various development
activities in the city. The responses we received for the
feature were amazing. Further significant suggestions
have been put forward to us by many, relating to our
city and its development.
V Viswanath
Corporation Ltd (KMCL),
the Special Purpose
Vehicle, will implement the
Monorail project.
Off-street parking facilities

traffic congestion on the
roads. Cutting of parking
at regular intervals,
converting roads into
blocks, restricting entry
and exit, encouraging
dependence on public
transport vehicles and
cycles, restricting speed
and diverting traffic via
parallel roads have been
suggested for the arterial
roads.
Development of multi-level
parking at Thampanoor
has been finalized by the
city corporation. It has set
aside Rs 50 lakh from this
year’s plan fund for the
project. Another multi-
level car park is planned
by the government near
the new secretariat
annex. Such multi-level
build-ups would not only
reduce traffic but also
drastically cut down on the
requirement of land, which
is at a dearth in the city.
Development of Waterway
Transport is being
considered in the city.
With multi-modal hub plan
gearing up momentum,
effective use of Parvathy
Puthanar canal has come in
to focus. Union Minister of
State for Civil Aviation K.C.
Venugopal has announced
to start cruise tourism
from the airport side to
the famed beach resort
of Kovalam. Parvathy
Puthanar can connect
to Killipalam, Jagathy,
Pangode, Maruthankuzhi
at Sasthamangalam,
Vattiyoorkavu, Peroorkada
and Vazhayila. If water

mart
transport is enabled in this
canal it would become the
most preferred mode of
transport in the city.
Railways development in
Thiruvananthapuram has
been steady, even though
in a slow pace. Mainline
Electric Multiple Units
service has been started
between Kollam-Nagercoil
in the last year. AC
Duronto service to Chennai
has started from the city.
With track doubling of
Thiruvananthapuram-
Kanyakumari sector and
increasing passenger trains
between these stations
would be a boon to the
commuters in the southern
end of the city.
Kochu Veli Terminus
is being developed to
ease the congestion in
Thiruvananthapuram
Central Station. Basic
amenities in this station
needs to be improved to
be passenger-friendly.
Remoteness of the
station is to be addressed.
Connectivity to city center
has to be improved. A foot
overbridge connecting
platforms on eastern
and western side is long
pending.
Even though Nemom
railway station has been
considered as another
terminal in the city,
development works
are yet to take off. This
station is also considered
to become coach
maintenance hub of the
division. At the recently
presented Railway Budget,
the city received a new
weekly train from Kochu
Veli to Lokmanya Tilak.
The Guwahati-
Ernakulam Express
train was extended to
Thiruvananthapuram.
In view of the growth in
various sectors in the city
connectivity problems
across the country is
bound to rise. To prevent
this frequency and
number of trains has to be
increased sufficiently.
For quite a long time there
have been demands for a
High Court bench in the
city, although it has not
materialized yet. Union
Minister Shashi Tharoor
stated in a press note that
the decades-old demand
for the setting up of a
high court bench at the
state capital should be
considered seriously.
The Union power ministry
has decided to include
Thiruvananthapuram
in the Restructured
Accelerated Power
Reforms & Development
Programme (R-APDRP)
mooted by the Centre.
The programme aims at
bringing revolutionary
changes in power
transmission like laying
underground cables for
electric supply, formation
of a common network that
establishes connectivity
among all electricity
offices, a swift system to
address the grievances of
the consumers and online
“Only when we create basic infrastructure facilities
will we be able to invite more investment. Only
then will we be able to provide more job opportuni-
ties and thereby increase the purchasing power of
the people.”

billing system.
From Aruvikkara to
Peroorkada Kerala Water
Authority has been laying
“unbreakable” ductile iron
pipes, in place of the usual
pre-stressed concrete
pipes to prevent pipe
bursts. Repeated pipe
bursts can be prevented by
complete replacement of
old prestressed concrete
pipes with mild steel
pipes. The ultimate water
demand in the service
area by 2031 is 410 mld at
the rate of 200lpcd for
urban, domestic use along
with a provision of non-
domestic and industrial
requirements and 135lpcd
for peripheral areas.
Augmentation of
water supply scheme
in the city is of utmost
importance to meet this
requirement. The state
government has decided
to set up Kerala Drinking
Water Supply Company
Limited (KDWSCL) for
drinking water supply
in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Water Supply project
assisted by Japanese
International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) currently
underway in the state
capital is to benefit around
84,000 people. Out of
this around 30% would be
having the facility of piped
water for the first time.
Rain water harvesting is
a technique which should
be promoted for effective
utilization of natural
resources. The presence of
a large number of ponds
and water tanks is a boon
to the people of the city.
However, the lack of
maintenance is a problem
faced. If cleaned up
properly and adequately
maintained, these ponds
and rivulets would reduce

Thiruvananthapuram too,
it is creating difficulties to
the civic administration.
It is seen from records
that Corporation gave
importance to sanitation
works right from 1897
when push carts were
used for cleaning duties.
Plastic usage is a factor in
increasing waste disposal
problem.
The city corporation
has started promoting
various methods like pipe
compost for managing
the waste at the
source. Small Industries
Development Corporation
had purchased a truck-
(on the basis of hydro-
graphic surveys, both
manual and dredging),
freshwater fisheries
development (scientific
aquaculture, replenishing
of disappearing species,
releasing native fish etc.,),
setting up a laboratory
for water quality
assessment, weed control,
conservation of flora and
fauna, and awareness
creation among user-
groups and other social
activities to protect the
lake.
Waste disposal is a major
problem faced by almost
all developing cities. In

KWA. One such initiative
is the restoration of
the freshwater body of
Vellayani Lake with an
Rs.26-crore project.
The project plans to
include activities such
as controlling the
encroachment of the
lake, compensation to
‘kayal’ land owners, agro-
forestry, soil and water
conservation, afforestation
of adjoining areas,
sustainable agriculture

effluent treatment
methods), de-silting

Culture & Crafts through
various promotional
activities. International
Film Festival of Kerala is
conducted annually at
Thiruvananthapuram. The
city has been the centre
of cultural activities from
early days. Scope for
international multicultural
activity is accentuated by
the presence of Goethe
Zentrum – the German
language institution,
Alliance Francaise –
the French language
institution, and the Russian
Cultural Centre in the city.
Kerala State Chalachitra
Academy is based in the
city. Renovation work
is being carried out at
Tagore Theatre adding
a total of 7000 sq.ft. to
the existing 32000 sq.ft.
theatre complex. Another
3 cultural venues, including
two mini-auditoriums and
an open-air amphitheatre
is being added to the
complex. The theatre
would be equipped with
state-of-the-art audio-
visual equipment, acoustic
panels, aircraft quality
sheets, projection facilities
and reflective ceilings.
Kerala Crafts Village at
Vellar near Kovalam is
witnessing renovation
and expansion works. The
village aims to showcase
the traditional arts and
crafts of Kerala.
The government has
begun Capital Region
Development Program
Phase II this year. 10
projects are envisioned.
The fiscal year of 2013-14
would see taking up of
four projects.
Health Minister V.S.
Sivakumar said the four
projects that were given
the nod for initiation in the
forthcoming fiscal were
ring and link roads for 42
km of city roads that were
being developed now;
parking plazas; expansion
of shopping centres and
markets; and planting of
one lakh tree saplings as a
part of green initiative.
TRIDA chairman P.K.
Venugopal said, “As
an immediate step,
we are planning to
take up the widening
of Maruthamkuzhi-
Vattiyoorkavu-Nettayam
stretch and improvement
of Vattiyoorkavu junction.”
He also stated cleaning
work of Parvathy Puthanar
will be taken up by water
resources department.
The remaining projects
in this phase include
Cleaning of waterways
and water bodies,
Connectivity improvement
(Wi-Fi, Broadband, etc.),
formation of Heritage
commission and building
centres of music and
arts, alternative source
of Energy development,
ensuring Drinking water
facility to all, and efficient
Sewerage treatment
system.
Chief Town Planner
Eappen Varughese,
Additional Chief Town
mart

Planner Jacob Easow,
and Town Planners S.
Ajayakumar and K. Baiju
have prepared a Master
Plan for the city dividing
the town in to four areas.
Department of Town and
Country Planning has
prepared this as a master
plan for the city up to 2031.
The guidelines in this plan
include connecting the
waterways of Kovalam-
Thiruvallom and Veli-
Akkulam to city center,
Mobility hub at Veli, Court
complex at Kazhakkootam,
Logistic hub at Vizhinjam,
Kovalam-Thiruvallom
Tourist hub, Techno hub
at Kazhakkootam, among
others.
Two intermediate ring
roads, outer ring road,
Parassala-Kazhakkootam
bypass, radial roads,
development of major
junctions and waterways
are also included in the
plan. Monorail from
Technocity-Neyyatinkara
is planned to be
commissioned by 2018.
Proposed 32 safe cycling
paths connecting different
areas is a major boost in
the environmental aspect.
In 2011,
Thiruvananthapuram
had a population of
3,307,284 of which
male and female were
1,584,200 and 1,723,084
respectively. The rate of
growth in population is
2.5% compared to 2001.
The initial provisional data
released by census India
2011, shows that density
of Thiruvananthapuram
district for 2011 is 1,509
people per sq. km.
Population density per sq.
km is 1509 compared to
1476 in 2001. The increase
in population leads to
shortage of land. One of
the main aspects which
hinder development is lack
of vacant space and the
increasing value of land.
An example of this is the
120 acres that was required
for the construction of
an integrated terminal
building and associated
facilities of the Trivandrum
International Airport. Only
38 acres could be handed
over in phase I. The
government will be able
to acquire the remaining
82 acres only in a phased
manner. Again at Vizhinjam
it was a Herculean task
to acquire land. The
government has acquired
the land for Vizhinjam
project giving market value
for the land, market value
for houses if any, free land
for affected landowner
and hardship allowance for
six months.
The growth in population
has lead to tremendous
pressure on development
initiatives in the city.
KPCC President Ramesh

mart
Chennithala had said at
a function that the state
needs to think about
bringing a law which will
control the purchase of
land by non-natives of the
state.
The spotlight has
been turned at
Thiruvananthapuram
by a number of
companies. Microsoft
Corporation India Pvt
Ltd, in conjunction
with NGO partner Aide
et Action, launched in
Thiruvananthapuram
their second YouthSpark
center in India. The
Thiruvananthapuram
center will focus on
Information Technology
enabled services (ITES),
automobile, hospitality
and retail. There has
been many new private
television channels started
in the state which has
established studios in
Thiruvananthapuram.
The advancement of
Medical care facilities and
medical tourism is bringing
in more visitors to the city.
People wanting to settle
down after retirement
are also attracted to
Thiruvananthapuram due
to its laid-back and quiet-
city nature.
The tropical climate
of the city due to its
proximity to sea and the
weather being pleasant
throughout the year
works magic on visitors.
The strong connection
with its traditional culture
also makes the city
fascinating. Low cost of
living – yet another factor
– leads people choose
Thiruvananthapuram over
other cities in India.
It was the tertiary
sector – employed in
the government offices
– which formed around
60% of the population
in Thiruvananthapuram
in the beginning of the
new millennium. With
the advent of IT parks
and increasing number
of associated services
this has changed. At
present, professionals in
the field of construction,
IT, Healthcare, Tourism,
etc. are present in greater
proportions in the city
when compared. However,
basic infrastructure
facilities need to be
boosted for all around
prosperity.
Any and all enterprises
taken up for the upliftment
of a city are interlinked.
When an area is developed
as a tourist centre, it
eventually leads to the
upliftment of people
around the area by means
of improved roads, better
sanitation, etc.
For example the
completion of Enchakkal
new bus terminal would
increase the land value of
the area as well as bring on
many other developmental
initiatives in the area.
Mayor K. Chandrika,
said the clean-up of the
Parvathy Puthanar is
directly connected to
the completion of the
Muttathara sewage
mart

treatment plant, which
is being constructed
at a cost of Rs 72 core.
The interconnection of
development initiatives is
evident from this too.
The final goal of all
planning is development.
Development should
be all around and for
everyone in a society. The
developmental activities
taken up should not
reduce our resources.
Conservation of resources
should be kept in
mind while initiating
various programs for
development. Growth-
oriented programs should
not side-track issues
relating to environment.
However, long-term gains
and long-lasting returns
should be uppermost in
mind while deciding upon
developmental schemes.
Society as a whole should
be taken into account.
Huge development in
the city would attract
big businesses and offer
expanded employment
opportunities. This would
result in people from
the outskirts of the city
migrating to the city limits.
Housing, transportation,
piped water supply,
waste disposal, health
infrastructure, and other
civic services would be
highly used up.
Hence, the government
should foresee the
requirements of the future
and take measures to
address the necessities
which would arise. The
city’s steady growth in
the commercial, tourism
and other sectors would
benefit greatly if these
development initiatives
are carried out in a timely
fashion.

LEADER SPEAK
What is your view on
tourism in Kerala?
Kerala is a beautiful place.
We have a lot of resources.
Considering tourism,
we have ayurveda,
backwaters, wildlife,
beaches and others. But
the nature that god has
given us is being spoiled.
been witnessing various
development activities.
Are there any areas where
more focus is needed?
When we speak
of development in
Thiruvananthapuram,
there are two areas where
immediate attention is
needed. Many tourists
complain regarding this.
They are cleanliness and
infrastructure. Foreigners
and people from other
Prasad Manjali,
Corporate Director of
Uday Samudra Leisure
Beach Hotel & Spa,
has a vast experience
in the hospitality in-
dustry. He is a person
who keeps track of
the changing sce-
narios in the hotel and
tourism industry.
As a person who has
had consistent contact
with the guests at
Uday Samudra and
also keeps an eye on
their suggestions and
views online, Prasad
Manjali comments
on the necessities of
further development
activities in Thiruvana-
nthapuram.
mart

states alike think that
Kerala is a very clean place.
But the sight of garbage
piled up beside the roads
puts them off.
Garbage heaped up high
along the roads makes the
tourists wonder about the
civic sense or rather the
lack of it in Kerala being
the state with high literacy
rate.
The organization South
Kerala Hotelier’s Forum
(SKHF) is actively involved
in sanitation drives, etc.
We should have provision
for effective garbage
disposal. Public and
government should not
close their eyes.
A permanent solution
need to be found for this
problem or else image
of Kerala would take
a beating. If a city like
Chennai can get their
Coovum River cleared up,
we should also be able to
get our Parvathy Puthanar
cleaned. We have been
taking a lot about Parvathy
Puthanar, but nothing
seems to get done.
We know Uday Samudra
does certain programmes
to promote cleanliness
and create awareness
among public. Could you
elaborate on them?
UDS gets beach cleaning
done in Samudra beach
by our gardeners every
day. Every morning and
evening, our people clean
the beach and the adjacent
parts. Plastic bottles,
papers, all that waste
items are removed and
bagged.
Other than this, Uday
Samudra on its own is
taking a lot of initiatives
in terms of cleaning up
the local area. To create
awareness on cleanliness
and sanitation, we have
small programmes
conducted in various
junctions. That is also not
enough.
Secondly, we are also
trying to do cleaning on
one side. Thirdly, we are
creating a mechanism
where we have a
monitoring system which
includes SKHF members,
municipality, corporation,
and local police. That
is also needed for a
long-lasting effect to our
cleanliness drive.
We would be very active
on this programme by the
end of June. Before the
rains we would clean up
the major part and then
it is only the maintenance
part remaining.
In your opinion what
sort of infrastructure is
required currently?
International tourists
panic at the sight of traffic
congestion and state of
roads. Connecting other
tourist locations such as
Alleppey and Thekkady to
Thiruvananthapuram too
needs to be prioritized.
If proper roads are built,
the rest all will fall in
place. Some governments
back there was a plan
for express highway;
however, it has not come
up. Express Highway is
also something which is
very critical for Kerala.
Comparing other states,
we are very much
backward.
Governments should come
up with bold decisions. If
such an express highway
comes up in the long run
there will be changes
in the economy. We
should be thinking of the
requirements of 50 years
from today.
20 years before there
was nothing in Malaysia.
First thing they did was
construct a highway
from one end of
Malaysia to the other. All
developmental activities
there including flyovers,
bylane development

mart
and other infrastructure
came up once that road
was built. Their tourist
inflow increased because
of the infrastructure
development.
The proposed helicopter
tourism will have a lot of
takers because people
are scared to travel on
the roads that are there
now. If the government
has fund shortage,
then they can make it a
phase by phase process.
Thiruvananthapuram
Airport director Mr.
Chandran is a very dynamic
person. He has come up
with a concept where
Thiruvananthapuram
Airport would have water,
road, and railway along
with air connectivity. This
proposed multi-modal hub
if executed is a beautiful
plan.
Would Vizhinjam Port be
a fillip to development in
Thiruvananthapuram?
The coming up of
Vizhinjam Port will
definitely be an
economic boost to
Thiruvananthapuram.
The hotels itself will be
benefiting, because there
will be a lot of guests
traveling in and out of
the city. However, some
hotels will be facing the
problem of acquisition
and demolitions. This is a
direct effect. There is an
indirect part to this. Today,
Kovalam is one of the best
beaches. The port coming
up nearby will affect the
beach. This is proven in a
number of other places.
The tourist inflow will
gradually reduce. It is two
sides of the coin.
What are the Corporate
Social Responsibility
initiatives by Uday
Samudra?
As part of Uday
Samudra’s CSR initiatives,
the roundabouts at
Vellayambalam, Chackai,
mart

Kallumoodu, and Airport
Arrival are being spruced
up and maintained by us.
Ponnara Sreedhar Park at
Thampanoor is also being
taken care of by Uday
Samudra.
We have employed staff
at each of these places for
proper upkeep of these
parks. We would definitely
look in to maintenance
of further areas if there
is an initiative from
the government or
corporation’s part.
Uday Samudra has taken
up several causes as part
of our corporate social
responsibility. We have
teams going about the
Vellar area who talk to
people on maintaining
their places. We do
medical camps. We tell
them that they should
keep their surroundings
clean and hygienic in
order to achieve good
health. In the entire
Thiruvananthapuram
region, we do marathons.
Every year, we have
one marathon which is
primarily focused on clean
Thiruvananthapuram.
We have anti-tobacco
campaign in schools and
colleges, where we try and
create as much awareness
as possible. We have props
created for the anti-
tobacco day. Last year we
did a skeleton with smoke
coming out of the mouth,
with a board saying this
is what smokers would
eventually become.
The campaigns are
designed in such a way
that people are able to
see and understand the
ill-effects of tobacco.
In the last one year, in
association with Round
Table we have planted
more than 800 trees in
various public places like
school compounds. It has
been done continuously
for the last two years.

mart
“Evaluate all aspects of the society”
In the current scenario,
we are unable to analyze
what would happen in
the next two years. We
have a large number of
projects announced, but
the number of projects
implemented is almost nil.
There are contradictory
statements about projects
for Thiruvananthapuram.
This puts a dampener
on the programme
‘Vision 2030’ projected
by the Chief Minister.
Speaking about
Thiruvananthapuram
development at this
juncture is futile. From
an economic viewpoint,
prices of all commodities
have gone up and still
increasing.
Even though government
intervention is seen to
prevent this, there should
be a detailed study by
the government. The
salary hike to nursing
and other allied staff in
hospitals declared by
Labour Minister Shibu
Baby John is a requisite
for the employees due to
the price rise. However,
the standard of clients at
private hospitals should
be considered while fixing
salaries.
Mostly financially well-off
patients visit high-profile
hospitals in the city,
while hospitals in the
panchayats and taluks
would have patients from
the low-income group.
Hospital running cost in
all these is the same. Even
though this is a charity
hospital, government sees
the hospital as having
a commercial interest.
They do not give value
to charitable hospitals.
LEADER SPEAK
Faizal Khan, Managing Director, NIMS
mart

“Waste Management should be decentralized”
Common people’s life is
not given attention.
To provide salaries to a
section of society, another
section of society would
have to be deprived
of treatment facilities.
Low-income patients
in this area have to get
treatment here since
there is no other better
facility available nearby.
The government has to
take all this together.
Coordination of different
ministries is required and
suitable studies should be
conducted. Classification
of hospitals must be after
taking in to account of the
multifarious aspects.
In order to provide the
announced salary increase,
the government needs to
take appropriate measures
such as supporting non-
city hospitals.
Government hospitals
in the rural areas do not
have neurosurgeon,
cardiologist and at times
full-time physicians. There
is no dialysis facility or ICU.
This makes the common
folk to approach hospitals
like NIMS to get quality
treatment.
If the proposed salary
increase is implemented,
even hospitals in the rural
area will have to increase
the cost of treatment.
Either government
should provide complete
insurance coverage or
provide full-fledged
treatment facilities in
government hospitals to
reduce the hardships of
the common man.
Waste collection
should be set up at
various centres such
as Ulloor, Peroorkada,
Pappanamcode, etc. It
should be consolidated in
a major collection centre.
Scientific effectiveness
treatment should be
brought into waste
disposal. In Delhi, waste
bins are automatically
loaded on to lorries.
Entrepreneurship
should be promoted in
productive activities to
increase employment
opportunities. Parking
space has to be designed.
Dr. V. Santhosh, Chief - Perspective Planning Division
Kerala State Planning Board
Increase fee for high-end
cars with hourly payment.
This would promote use
of public conveyance.
Pedestrians should be
given primary importance.
Encourage cycling which
would ensure decreased
environment pollution.
Vision and goals can
be achieved with
strategic planning. We
have to design smart,
clean, green cities with

Strong infrastructure and
sustainable transport

Thiruvananthapuram Development – Some Ideas
Captain K A Pillai of National Club writes in detail how to make our
city better. He was involved in preparing project report for Vallar-
padam, Vizhinjam, Inland Water Transport Corporation, and Super
Express Highway.
Transportation is the
greatest challenge
of a modern city.
Communication has
become seamless and no
more a challenge. Growing
cities such as Kolkatta,
Mumbai, Bangkok, Jakarta,
Manila and Beijing are
clogged by traffic.
Beijing recorded the
world’s highest level of air
pollution and fog. If we
want to save Trivandrum
from these future
problems we have to act
now. Transportation is one
sector in which the citizens
are helpless and the state
action is the only solution.
Circular Outer Ring
System
This can be monorail or
normal railway system.
Powering can be electricity
or compressed air. The
routes to be connected
are Airport, Anchuthengu,
Varkala, Kallambalam,
Kilimanoor, Palode,
Nedumangad, Kattakkada,
Neyyattinkara, Vizhinjam,
Kovalam, and back to
Airport.
Radial Rail System
The centre of the system
is to be Thampanoor. The
circular ring stations are
to be connected by radial
system to Thampanoor.
Inter State Bus Terminal
Interstate bus terminal
is to be located near the
Airport. Like in London, an
air traveler must be able
to pick up his luggage in a
trolley and walk down to
the interstate terminal.
City Bus Terminal
City bus terminal located
in Thampanoor is to be
connected with interstate
terminal. Wide flyovers
to be constructed from
city terminal to rail station
so that passengers can
walk from bus terminal to
railway station.
Current Transport Policy
Current transport
facilities are designed
for the benefits of auto
drivers, taxi drivers,
KSRTC employees and
porters. This policy is to be
changed to the benefit of
travelers.
Taxi Meters
Auto and taxi must charge
only the metered charges.
The rates if required can
be enhanced. But the
police must strictly enforce
pay by meter rule.
FEATURE ARTICLE

Public Transport
By improving the quality
of public transport system,
the need for self-driven
cars and two wheelers
will come down. This will
reduce the number of
vehicles on the road and
air pollution.
City Map
The corporation and
Tourism department must
act together and produce
a city map like the one in
Singapore. With the aid
of this street map any
traveler can reach his
destination.
Time Table
BEST the Mumbai
transport service printed
and published a timetable
in 1984. This is still valid
and strictly followed. A
good published timetable
will help reduce traffic
problems.
Public Toilets
At least 1000 public
toilets are required for
Trivandrum city alone.
Some can be free and
some can be pay and use.
Private investment can be
attracted to this sector.
Cycle Paths
All the roads must be
converted to cycle path.
This will reduce pollution.
Cycling will help exercise
and healthy life.
Coastal Cycle Way
A coastal cycle path from
Vizhinjam to Varkala will
attract tourists.
Kayaking & Canoeing
Canal network from
Vellayani to Varkala need
to be dredged to facilitate
Kayaking, Canoeing and
Boating.
Clean up Parvathyputhanar
- All canals and waterways
need to be cleaned and
dredged.
Chalai Shopping Mall
Chalai is to be redesigned
to accommodate all the
existing shops. The new
mall is to be citizen-friendly
and clean.
Garbage Disposal
The primary duty of City
Corporation is to collect
and dispose garbage
safely. Distributed garbage
processing will cause
pollution of groundwater
table. The entire process
is to be centralized and
automated.
Expatriate Workers
Photo identity cards are to
be issued to all expatriate
workers.
Pest Control
Dogs, cats, rats and
mosquitoes are to be
controlled as per existing
law.
Citizen Policing
Police network is to
be increased through
volunteers from Residents
Associations.
Distributed Development
Development can be
distributed all over the
district. Concentration
will lead to congestion,
pollution and crime.

When choosing a country,
bear in mind that the style

generally accepted that
the further north in Europe
you are, the more you will

in terms of planning

south you are, the more

Universities in America are
extremely competitive. A
minimum GPA of a 2:2 is
usually expected. Like all
other countries, they will
also take other factors
into consideration such
as sufficient financial
resources, proficiency
in the English language
and other academic
and extracurricular

It is a good idea to apply to
more than one university,
as you may not be
accepted on to your first
choice. Scholarships and
grants are available in the
US, although competition
for them may be high.
As an international
student, you should
be prepared to pay up
to $13,000 a year at a
state university and up
to $35,000 for a private

in North America do,
you will probably have
living expenses of $3,000
to $5,000 per annum in
addition to your fees.
A real benefit to studying
in Europe is that the
tuition fees can be a lot

time.
It would play a big part
in enlightening all those
hotel and tour operators
who want to expand
their businesses online.
ICTT will be beneficial for
Hotels and Resorts who
wants to build new client
partnerships with tour
operators and develop
strategies for doing
business with direct clients
and the corporate.
Delegates – Indian and

“Around 52% of potential travelers depend on
internet for booking their tours. Earlier, foreign
tourists would contact a tour operator at their
base place who will in turn contact their Indian
counterpart and then arrange the tour – it was
a time-consuming process. The current trend is
finding and direct booking of tours through online.
This necessitates the need to educate the
domestic tourism stakeholders on web marketing
and how online resources can be used to further
their businesses. ICTT would fulfill this necessity.
We are expecting around 400 delegates to

Trivandrum emerges winner in Housing

group has published ‘best
cities’ survey results to
highlight the liveability of
our cities. In the “Housing
and Transport” category
Thiruvananthapuram
emerged as the Best
City and Rajkot as the
Emerging City.
The report says, “2% of
Thiruvananthapuram’s
total population lives in
slums, the lowest among
the 50 cities in India; 44%
of the city’s residents use
public transport and 49%
residents take less than
five minutes to cover 5km
in their neighbourhood,
only 13% can do the same
in Mumbai”. Also, in
the overall category,
Thiruvananthapuram
is positioned at 15th,
whereas Chennai is placed
at first position followed
by Chandigarh, Mumbai
and Hyderabad.
The survey assesses
each cities under nine
categories-housing and
transport, education,
entertainment,
environment, crime and
safety, public services,
healthcare, investment
and economy. In addition
to these categories, the
survey also compiles all
into an overall category.
The survey results
give a glimpse of the
performance of various
cities and its state
governments. The future
of India, in many ways,
depends on the prosperity
of its cities, therefore India
Today have chosen to
assess the performance of
50 cities, all of which have
a population of around
1 million people. India is
urbanizing rapidly.
In 2001, around 270 million
Indians lived in cities. By
2012, that number had
grown to almost 370
million, which is one third
of India’s total population.
It is estimated that by
2020, there will be more
than 500 million people
living in urban areas.
Therefore it is necessary
to periodically identify the
liveability of cities.

THE LAST LEAF
It is good to note that Thiruvananthapuram is on its fast track for develop-
ment, achieving new milestones with a number of initiatives.
Thiruvananthapuram Technopark grows by 4,000,000 square feet with a
capacity to accommodate over 40,000 technology professionals. It would
probably result in about Rs. 4,000 crores of annual IT exports and bring in
more than Rs. 1,200 crores to the local economy as disposable income and
taxes.
City Connect is another notable development initiative to improve city’s in-
frastructure through sustainable development. This program brings various
urban stakeholders outside the government together on a single platform.
In tourism sector, the Union Tourism Ministry has sanctioned Rs. 13.60
crores for development of common amenities at the famous coastal tour-
ism spot Kovalam. It will change the face of Kovalam and should attract
more tourists to the destination. DTPC has started its project for developing
Shangumugham as one of the best tourist spots in Kerala.
Infrastructure development is another highlighted area on developmental
process. The widening of the existing 29 km of two lanes to four lanes from
Karamana to Kaliyikkavila would be of international standard.
Thiruvananthapuram development initiatives will be accompanied by de-
tailed and continuous interfacing with various development stakeholders
- citizens’ groups, business community and Government - to discuss, debate
and to develop new ideas and initiatives to transform Thiruvananthapuram
into a Metropolis of the 21st Century along with constant monitoring to
ensure that development does not falter.
Development is the need of the hour!
