#Bengaluru architects’ plan wins Teppakulam redevelopment competition Local bodies working closely with urban planners is something that all towns and cities badly needs right now. #Trichy #TOI timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/trichy/be…

An incubation hub for the gem and jewellery industry will come up at NIT #Trichy campus to offer innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology support in the sector. @timesofindia timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/trichy/ge…

#Thanjavur domestic airport may take off soon, things moving fast in #AAI. Max 2 ATRs per day planned for domestic routes. #Trichy airport's new ATC whose height revised at 53M will become operational by 2027. @timesofindia

#Thanjavur big temple moat. After rehabilitation.

@Paars101 Exactly.

@dkarthikTOI I don't think it will help people. 300 capacity is very less. It looks like mainly for popular figures to land in the city skipping Trichy highway

#Thanjavur domestic airport very soon to be a reality. Land handed over by state government (previous govt) to AAI. In-principal approval awaited. Project cost: Rs 100 crores Terminal building will be constructed, ATC shared with Indian Air Force. Capacity: 300 pax/day

Celebrating 12 years of growth & transformation in aviation sector, #Trichy int'l airport organizes a series of passenger, community outreach, environmental, and cultural initiatives involving stakeholders, edu institutions on June 15. @aaiTRZairport Live Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) demonstrations and interactive sessions for students and visitors. Airport familiarization and career guidance sessions for college students. @timesofindia

@ganie006 SG and AAI will do it if terminal building construction work was taken up once, that's their agreement. Curved road right?

@dkarthikTOI That's great news. But as per AAI, the primary issue for Thanjavur Airport is a direct road link from the terminal to the highway. If the state hands over the land means AAI will construct approach road ?

@bigblackeey True. Just like dozens of failed airport infra up north.

@dkarthikTOI It won't break even

@bigblackeey Same question. They say domestic need is there. Especially from tourists, for temples. Will help politicians and bureaucrats to travel quickly for darshan, cutting down road movement by 50 km.

@dkarthikTOI but why ??? We have trichy airport right

@Thiruprakashcb @TrichyCorp So there also buses will be parked on roads, commuters like you will say, I cannot waste time travelling there, keep buses in Chathiram and Central, what's the point? Why waste public money.

@dkarthikTOI @TrichyCorp solution will be to build another bus stand in the North Trichy! to travel north side from Trichy.

Changing bus routes and removing encroachments are on cards after the #TOI story about Chathiram bus stand chaos. But the only solution is to shift mofussil.buses to Panjapur KKBT. #Trichy Collector inspected & reviewed with officials based on the article that mentioned 5 woes.

@Thiruprakashcb @TrichyCorp Procure land ah? Where in Chathiram bus stand do you have land to buy for halting buses, do you have any idea about the land cost there now? and got any idea about legal hurdles in land acquisition? Why build an integrated bus terminus then?

@dkarthikTOI SHIFTING BUS STANDS IS THE WORST IDEA! PROCURE LAND AND WIDEN THE ROADS, GIVE A PEDESTRIAL FRIENDLY CITY, ONLY THEN PEOPLE WILL BE HAPPY TO GET DOWN AT BUS STOPS AND WALK! IF ITS IS NOT WALKABLE THEY GET DOWN ANYWHERE FOR THEIR CONVIENIENCE. @TrichyCorp

‘Centre holds up TN’s successful tribal development model as example for all states’ Tamil Nadu has been ranked as the best-performing state in the country, while Kallakurichi district has been recognised as the best-performing district at the all-India level for implementing the Integrated Tribal Development Programme (ITDP) by the Union ministry. The recognition was announced at a tribal development conclave held in New Delhi, where the performance of Integrated Tribal Development Agencies (ITDAs) and programmes across states was assessed. Tamil Nadu implements its ITDP strategy across nine designated areas spread over seven districts with a significant Scheduled Tribe population. “Tamil Nadu has been ranked as the best state and highlighted as a model for others to emulate. Across parameters including administrative efficiency, scheme coordination, data management, protection of tribal rights, livelihood enhancement, institutional capacity, risk management and project implementation, Tamil Nadu scored highly. It was also designated as a ‘Data-Driven Tribal Mission Unit’,” director of tribal welfare S Annadurai said. Meanwhile, Kallakurichi district was given the ‘Best Performing ITDP/ITDA’ in the country and was awarded a cash prize of ₹5 lakh by the Union ministry at the conclave hosted by the Union ministry of tribal affairs in New Delhi. Officials attributed the achievement to a series of initiatives undertaken in tribal areas, particularly in the Kalvarayan Hills. “In Kallakurichi, students have achieved notable success in higher education and entrance examinations over the past few years. Several pioneering initiatives have also been implemented, including boosting tapioca production and establishing value-addition units in the Kalvarayan Hills; setting up solar-powered millet processing units for tribal women's self-help groups; providing skill development training to tribal youth and facilitating their employment in leading companies; forming horticultural producer groups for tribal farmers; and securing land rights by issuing 9,547 forest rights titles under the Forest Rights Act,” the department said. In recent years, tribal students from Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) and other institutions have excelled academically, with many cracking competitive examinations and securing admission to premier institutes across the country. So far this year, two students have cleared the CLAT and secured admission — one to a National Law University and another to a law university in Haryana. Apart from this, 48 tribal students have joined the Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management (IITTM), Noida, this year, compared to 11 last year. IITTM is an institution functioning under the Union ministry. @VanniTamizhVCK @thirumaofficial @WriterRavikumar @CMOTamilnadu
