Chittoor: At last the traffic menace in Chittoor city was solved with the municipal authorities and police forcibly removing the encroachments in many places. Chittoor Municipal Commissioner Sachidananda Varma said that encroachments were removed in Ponniamman Koil Street, Church Street and Hospital Road, paving the way for free passage of the public as well as vehicles.

Speaking to The Hans India at Chittoor on Saturday, Sugalies (Banjarans) have occupied two thirds of the bus station against the instructions of higher authorities and hawkers and fruit vendors occupied Ponniamman Koil Street creating heavy traffic jam, he said. "Chittoor DSP Rajeswara Reddy, Urban CI Sudhakar Reddy along with Chittoor MLA CK Babu finalized an action plan to clear the traffic hindrances in the city despite pressures. The encroachments by Sugalis and shops of petty vendors are forcibly evicted," he added.

In a move to beautify the city, water fountains were constructed at the Municipal Office, Gandhi Circle, MSR Cross Roads and other key points. Sale of plastic is strictly banned in the city, the Commissioner added.

He further said modern street lights were installed in the entire city, night sweeping has been undertaken in a big way, big drainages were constructed, digital banners were removed and movement of autorikshaws on the main streets has been restricted.

He felt an absolute need to develop Chittoor Corporation with parks, tourist spots, underground drainages and others. He said, "Chittoor City Beautification Committee has been constituted and the District Collector declared Rs 2 crores for beautifying the city. There are proposals to establish boat club also."

The well decorated Municipal Auditoriums is kept ready for inauguration by the Chief Minister.

Now how many of these things are really worked out. Share your opinions and thoughts and what needs to be done for our Chittoor.

Separate Rayalaseema Yatra - A CHITTOOR Perspective

2012-10-02T10:25:00.000+05:30

Today Byreddy Rajasekhar reddy is starting his padayatra demanding separate Rayalaseema state if state division is inevitable.
If seemandhra is created it is for sure that Rayalseema will be most effected in issues of power, representation and irrigation. Moreover new capital city will be definitely created in Andhra region only.
But is separate Rayalaseema a solution??? . Though it looks good and promising on paper, the very idea has lot many hiccups.
Can a state with 4 districts survive( even if divided into 8 districts). Even minor irrigation projects cannot get funding. Major water resources will be under control of either Telangana or Andhra regions. Already seema is turning into desert and farmers will completely abandon agriculture as a whole.
Separate rayalseema will be the weakest of three new states in all the matters and will be lagging in development by decades.
So what are the options at hand. First option will be Keeping the state in present form seems better but present Telangana situation doesnt allow for this option.
Secondly if seemandhra is carved out, then a second capital needs to be created in seema region. Tirupati will be a best option for this. An autonomous governing council for seema region should be considered with major say in the matters of the governance of the region. But power hungry politicians strongly oppose this proposal and this option will have to face lot many ground issues for implementation.
Thirdly carving out of separate seema state is proposed. No doubt seema is the least developed of three regions as stated by Sri Krishna committee itself. But will separate seema state an answer for this?????
Byreddy hails from kurnool which had been the first capital for Andhra state. But situation in kurnool has never been as grim as in other seema districts. Moreover byreddy ia mostly unknown in major parts of chittoor district. It has to be noted that so far no major political party or leader has endorsed byreddy and his demand.
Though his idea of bringing the core issue of underdeveloped seema to attention is good, byreddy should first understand the ground realities in seema first. His demands should be justified by aspirations of peoples aspirations.
Now coming to the Chittoor perspective, he is almost in dark about the reality here. Does he know that
Chittoor is the only district head quarter in entire seema where a single govt educational institute even a polytechnic doesnt exist. Other 3 headquarters have govt medical college each.
In every aspect, ctr remained being neglected, being the distant most part of the state. Now if kurnool or anantapur is made capital, its not going to change anything. Already3 small and medium software companies are functioning in Ctr. Why is Software park for Chittoor is not being spoken about as it has high potential.
In the entire length of NH4 from Pune to Chennai only the part that passes through chittoor district is unwidened. It is disheartening to note that this stretch till Karnataka border and that from tamilnadu border is already widened leaving this 84 km stretch untouched. NHAI has left just this 84 km stretch from its jurisdiction. All other contemporary roads were 4 laned years back. But not a single sane voice was raised against this part of NH4 left out. Now byreddy doesnt even know this ground reality and has never raised this in his press events.
Chittoor being at the centre of two major metros, has the highest potential for industrial development among all other places in seema. But basic infrastructure creation for attracting investment was never even given a thought. As Bangalore- Nangili railway line is under plans, Chittoor Nangili railway line for which survey has already completed by SWR, will create a shortest route to Bangalore. But no MP or MLA is openly demading this implementation. Why doesn't Byreddy talk about this.

These are only few aspects of injustice in Chittoor. Unless byreddy speaks about these matters and brings them to light, he cannot expect even little support from people of Chittoor.
Hope Byreddys padayatra in Chittoor will help him understand these.

TRAFFIC MENACE AND ROAD CONGESTION IN CHITTOOR CITY

2012-08-21T18:42:00.000+05:30

Chittoor traffic has increased many fold and road congestion is visible on every road. Roads need to be widened on emergency basis.

One auto stopped because of some problem on overbridge and with in 10 mins traffic was jammed from Gandhi circle to RTC busstand. if this is the situation then think about an year or two later.

No one planned for future. but that lack of planning is now showing its ugly face.

Roads immediately possible for expansion:

1. MSR to Nutrine
2. Kattamanchi to Murakambattu
3. RTC busstand to FCI

These roads can be taken up immediately and need Lesser land acquisitions and demolitions.

High road and Santhapet road needs lot of demolitions and will have to face lot of court cases. So this might be delayed temporarily.

Widening and strengthening the Bye pass roads and Masonics to Greamspet will ease some traffic.

Puttur road widening works are going on in full swing as shown in picture. But this 4 lane. road is from FCI to Thana only. What about the traffic entering the city.

Another great example of mindless ignorance and lack of planning is sanctoning of 5 crores for Kattamanchi bridge on neeva river. 5 Crores will only be sufficient for 2 lane bridge which will not relieve the traffic problem on important road.

Lets stop with this temporary solutions and think and plan for future of Chittoor.

BEST ROAD IN CHITTOOR

2012-08-20T21:38:00.000+05:30

The road from Kattamanchi railway bridge to Municipal busstand via RTC busstand is widened to 150 ft with beautiful divider.

The plants once lining the road edge are included in the newly built divider enhancing the look.

30 lakhs have been sanctioned for central lighting in this road.

Once all the works are completed this will be the best road in Chittoor with railway station on one side and kattamanchi lake on the other. '

Here is the transformation of Chittoor Railway Station seen through pictures :

Chittoor has been an important railway station in madras presidency built and maintained by The Great South Indian Railway Company headquartered in Madras.

After independence the railway line and station were transferred to Indian railways. Due to geopolitical reasons development almost stalled for decades together. Only one express (Meenakshi) and 2-3 pairs of metre gauge passengers used to run in this line.

STATION ENTRANCE

The proposals for gauge conversion started in 1980s and continuously delayed till 2003 when finally it was completed and inagurated on August 22nd

AFTER BROAD GAUGE CONVERSION

As this line forms and important connection between North and South and reduces 51 KMS in distance the electrification work immediately started. Tata projects was awarded contract and electrification was finally completed in 2007 and was inagurated by Lalu Prasad Yadav on December 8th. Still the station lacked most of the facilities. The platforms 2/3 which had cover over platforms even during metre gauge period was left bland.

AFTER ELECTRIFICATION

Many long distance trains were diverted in this route. As the revenues incresed many fold, The Chittoor station was declared A class Commercial station.In the last 4 years Chittoor railway station has witnessed rapid transformation.

*The Cover over platforms was extended on Platform one, and also provided on Platforms 2/3.

*The platform lighting was replaced by modern and efficient fluoroscent lights.

*Train information display boards and coach guidance boards are provided throughout the station.

*The jaggery godowns on railway station road were shifted, and new parks were developed on either side.

LALTEST PHOTOGRAPH

Around 40 trains run on this route daily. The proposals for doubling the track has already been submitted to railway board. Yet lot need to be done as only thing we are lacking is political will and support.

CRTA (Chittoor Rail Travellers Association) was formed for this purpose, and is a group of voluntary people from Chittoor, constatntly trying to update railway authorities regarding problems in Chittoor railway station and appealing for improved facilities. Currently we are trying for

1. Fast action for doubling the route.

2. The station building is same since independence. Nothing has improved even with incresed trains and subsequent passengers. The station building and circulating area needs lot of improvement.

3. Several trains including Madurai-Tirupati, Yeswantpur-Howrah, Rameshwaram-Okha via Shirdi, Tata-Yeswantpur donot have stoppage at Chittoor.

4. The reservation counter is very much crowded and is obstructing the passenger movement. It needs to be immediately shifted.

5. The platform edges are damaged and cracked. Anti slip Tiles needs to be immediately provided.

2011-10-30T20:34:00.015+05:30

Another credit in the feather of Manachittoor & CRTA.

One anonymous reader brought attention to the fact that stoppage for Yesvantpur-Tirupati train : 12543/12544 stop is being lifted off at Chittoor from 15 october 2011. The Chittoor station name is removed from train stop list on reservation sites too.

This train is the fastest train from Chittoor to Bangalore and just takes 4 hours to reach KR puram with a cost of Just 89 Rs

CRTA (Chittoor Rail Travellers Association) came in to picture and we started numerous petitions and requests to South Central Railway. Finally as per the public demand the railway authorities budged and extended stoppage at Chittoor till June 2012 which we are sure will further continue.

Now little more details on this train:

Exclusive Interview with PRAVEEN NALLAPOTHULA-The IT Architect of SOFTTOWN in Chittoor

2011-10-20T22:39:00.097+05:30

Our sincere thanks to Mr Praveen Nallapothula for obliging our request and giving this exclusive interview.

# Personal Information briefly to intoduce Mr Praveen to all CTRians

*SoftTown is promoted by Mr. Praveen Nallapothula s/o. Late Sri N. Soundarraja Naidu, a leading labor and industrial law advocate.

*Mr. Praveen is a native of Aragonda Gollapalli which is about 20 Kms from Chittoor. Praveen did his schooling in Chittoor till 12th grade in schools like Chittoor Nursery Convent(1st – 5th Grade), B.Z.High School (6th – 10th Grade) and PCR College (11th and 12th grade).

*Praveen graduated in BE in Computer Science Engineering from Bharath Institute of Science and Technology affiliated to University of Madras in Chennai and went on to complete his Masters in Computer Science from Western Kentucky University – Kentucky, USA.

*Praveen Worked for Motorola ( Cellular Infrastructure Group) for about 9 years and started a company called TeleDNA in 2001 – which deals in providing world class software products for mobile telecom service providers around the world. TeleDNA is based in Bangalore, India and provides employment to about 250 high tech graduates. Praveen was CEO & Managing director for TeleDNA since its inception till May 2011 and was responsible in building the company from zero resources to about 250 resources, raising the required private equity financing and ran it profitably. Under Praveen’s vision TeleDNA has won a prestigious awards by NASSCOM and Ministry of Telecom for being a successful Telecom Product based Indian Company – when most indian companies are service companies.

*Praveen also served as a Board Member in famous Kanipakam Varasidhi Vinayaka Swamy Devasthanam under the guidance of Shri Galla Aruna Kumari – Present Hon Minister for Mines. Praveen is also currently the Chittoor District Chapter Chairman for Young India (YI) which is an affiliated arm for CII.

*Praveen has a lot of passion towards his home town, state and country and wants to be pioneer in making the objectives of SoftTown succeed which are some of challenges that our state and nation is facing today.

*Praveen has always been inspired by his Father Late Shri N. SoundarRaja Naidu a famous and leading labor and industrial lawyer from Chittoor. He always remembers his fathers repeated saying “ No matter what you do and where you stay now, you need to come back and do something good to your parents, home village, town, state and country that has given you the opportunity to become who you are today. Look at Galla Aruna Kumari and Ramchandra Naidu and learn from them….They have left a comfortable life in US and come back ”.

“ My simple goal is to see 2000 families living happily in their own rural villages, breathing green air through direct employment in SoftTown by end of year 2016. And I want these employees not to forget their roots and still help farming to make our nation self sufficient in the food we eat”

#What was the initiative and idea behind Softtown

*Goal of SoftTown is to establish rural IT parks so the rural IT graduates would be able to work in their hometowns only. This will prevent IT workers moving away to nearby cities – thereby leading to economical, social, environmental and agro-industrial imbalance. Every aspect of it will have a huge impact on our nation. Take for example, agro-industrial imbalance. Today most of our villages are empty because most of the farming parents are getting their children a IT degree and once they get a job, they are leaving their village and settling down in nearby cities. And our fore fathers and mothers who become aged can’t do farming. Due to this one day, India as a nation has a risk of not generating its own food grains.

*Countries like Singapore can buy everything because they are a controlled and small country. However, India with a billion population can’t afford to do this. To prevent our nation from this risk, if these IT parks are situated in easily commutable places to villages, I hope that our farmers children will help and work on their existing land during morning and evening hours – by still going to their IT jobs. This IT income can also make them invest in farming. Today just by doing farming, survival has become a issue for farmers due to fluctuations in prices and other environmental issues. My wish is to see younger crowd also in villages when I go to these villages and want them still continue to go for a morning walk to their lands with a neem stick in their mouth – rather than spending a lot of time in Gym’s and walking track parks in cities.

*Like this every aspect I have mentioned above (economical, social, environmental imbalances) will have a huge impact on our nation, if we can establish IT centers in nearby commutable rural areas.

With a brand name of SoftTown, we have started this concept – Software in Towns.

#Why CHITTOOR was selected

*As I am a native of Chittoor, I wanted to start off this concept in Chittoor. I also feel Chittoor is in midst of two big IT cities, just 3 hrs away from both and will have a great advantage of logistics and proximity to world wide customers.

#Tell us about NGIT

*NGIT will undertake outsourcing IT projects from government and private sectors. NGIT also provide last mile corporate training for new IT graduates. These graduates do not have to go to Hyderabad or Chennai or Bangalore spending a lot of money to get this kind of training – which is very much required to make them employable today.

*NGIT has a state of the art facility with all amenities that a City style IT office provides.

#Tell us about Recruitment & Vacancies

*Training and Recruitment process has already started in the Company.

#Does SOFTTOWN lease office space to other firms interested

*Yes, If anyone also have similar goals and ambitions, we can help them with the infrastructure

#Future plans & Expansion

*The goal of NGIT is to employ 100 IT graduates who has Btech-CS, IT and MCA degrees within 1 year from now i.e by end of Dec 2012, 300 by end of Dec 2013 and about 2000 by end of 2016.

*The current infra structure can accommodate 300 people. Infrastructure expansion will happen from Jan 2013, so we can accommodate more people by then.

#How Do you feel for being pioneer in bringing such huge thing as IT to chittoor

*My parents, my well wishers, my native town, my nation and god has given me the skills I have today. I want to utilize those skills to help people and our nation in need. IT is my skill and Chittoor is my native town..hence IT in Chittoor.

#Thank you sir. Wishing you all success and Glory in your present and future endeavours.

**Thankyou venkatesh. I want to appreciate you for spending some time bringing Chittoor into limelite and make it visible to world wide audience. Great job and it is great that you are also spending some time for the sake of Chittoor and our nation
