New Chennai Foundation - Complaints List 25th January 2009
A member of New Chennai Foundation has reported yesterday the list of complaints he feels in Chennai. I would like to list it in the public for everyone's attention.
Thank you Sam Kappa Venkatesh!
Periyar Bus Stand
The overhead walkway near Periyar Bus Stand is stinking and is closed. Let us construct a new elevated walkway between Periyar and Meenakshi temple via complex bus stand. The same can be extended from Periyar BS to Railway Station. According to my grandfather in Mumbai one overhead walkway has been constructed for 1.5 KMS in Mumbai.
Airport Road
It is a nightmare to reach the airport via Therkku vasal as the roads are encroached (from Therkku vasal to Avaniapuram). Remember we are getting visitors through these roads. Corporation/Highway use your Bulldozers.
Tea Shops
Tea/coffee shops in Chennai serve us tea while we stand on platforms. Cities like Erode and Coimbatore have seats inside the shop where one can have tea in a hygienic way. Vadai is also made outside the shop. Come on Chennai sit and relax a cuppa tea.
Drink tea in shops where seat is offered.
Spitting
Chennai people seem to spit more on the roads. Why?
Drainage
To all Civil Engineers of Chennai, Why drainage and manholes are constructed in the middle of the road. We know it is a nuisance as the roads become uneven with the manhole in the centre, Dangerous during rainy season particularly if the manhole lid is missing. Can't the drainage constructed on the roadside instead of road centre?

What if Chennai does not develop and what will happen to Chennai in next 30 years?
What if Chennai does not develop and what will happen to Chennai in next 30 years?
This article is my own personal, individual prediction, thinking and not intended to hurt anyone.
My grandfather was born and brought up in Vadivelkarai, a village in Chennai. For job reasons, my father had to search and find job in Chennai, which is a major city near the village. When I completed my graduation, I had to move to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and US.
I am going to compare the same situation to Chennai today. Given that Chennai does not get any industries; Chennai is contaminated with same politicians and no development happens; Chennai does not improve its infrastructure; Chennai does not germinate more and more entrepreneurs, then in 20-30 years Chennai would become the same Vadivelkarai situation, as I explained in the previous paragraph.
Old, elderly people and last generation folks would only stay on in Chennai.
Politicians, Vatti-kku panam koduppavan, few government officials, Old shop owners.
I hope and trust this should not happen and I wish inverse of this happens. Chennai develops and a reverse brain drain happens. Everyone from Chennai who have gone out of the city should come back and develop the Chennai city.
This article is my own personal, individual prediction, thinking and not intended to hurt anyone.

Searching for ways to make money - even illegal ways! - Chennai Culture
Searching for ways to make money - even illegal ways! - Chennai Culture
There are n number of ways to make money in this world.
However, few of our chennaiites choose illegal ways.
Money by force, money by cheating...
Money by cheating:
Being genuine is a good karma. If you give someone you know with some 1000s of rupees and tell him/her that you will get it back after 1 year. There is only 50% probability that you might get it back. The other party might give n number
of reasons to avoid you and say that he will give the money later.
There are some horror stories of illegal acquisition of lands and houses for
rent, which comes under both the categories - money by force and money by
cheating.
Another example of money by cheating - In temples like Meenakshi Amman Temple,
there is cheating and corruption. When a ticket counter fellow issues you a
ticket, that same ticket is torn into two pieces and given back to you, as a
receipt. Lately, the ticket is not torn or other half of the ticket is not
issued back to the temple visitor. Instead the same ticket is sold again and
again. Can you imagine, what all ways you get to know for making money?
Money by force:
Kandhu vatti, Meter Vatti, Rocket Vatti, Katta panchayath? Have you heard these terminologies? Thesea are all popular terms among Chennai folks. You can hear stories like - you give the house for rent and you come back to the tenant and tell them to vacate the house in 1 month. The tenant would say I can leave the house only after 1 year. This happens only in India and places like Chennai. Money by force and money by cheating...
Why is all these happenning? Poverty? Illiteracy? Great Rich and Poor Divide?
God knows...these are the discussions, everyone gets into easily and end up no
where.
Last but not least -
In SpiderMan movie, the hero is advised by his uncle that - "With Great Power
comes Great Responsibility", but you know how does Chennai folks perceive it?
"With Great Power comes Corruption and with Great Power comes Cheating Money"!!

Chennai Taekwondo - a martial art - Korean Karate - CK Nagaraj
In my school days, my mother enrolled me and my Chennai brother into two courses. As I have told you before, my mother had a vision. She wants her children to be well equipped before we encounter the real world.
One was Hindi class provided by Dakshin Bharath Hindi Prachar Sabha and I successfully passed "Praveen" exam. This is supposed to be equivalent to BA in Hindi.
Another was Taekwondo. My brother completed Taekwondo - Black Belt. I completed the Brown Belt, which is just before Black Belt.
We used to study in the TVS Nagar branch, which was opposite TVS Lakshmi Matric School. Taekwondo is a great martial art, but from Korea. Taekwondo is more of an art with the leg, when compared to Karate, which is all of hands. Taekwondo is more of leg and less of hand. Taekwondo is also called Korean Karate. Taekwondo is one of the asian(korean) martial art, like Kung fu and Karate.
CK Nagaraj was our master and he is a great teacher and a great person. He is a good friend of us and our mother knows him very well. I am grateful to the Taekwondo master Nagaraj. He is a member of Lions Club as well. CK Nagaraj had received even 3-5 DANs(levels) in Black Belt of Karate.
One interesting point is - TVS Nagar branch still exists and even today master is teaching in the same terrace of the building opposite our school.
By the way, 24th January and 25th, 26th - state level competition is planned to happen in TVS Lakshmi Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Chennai.
I am grateful to this master CK Nagaraj. As a return gift, I am posting this article dedicated to Mr.Nagaraj, Taekwondo Black Belt in Chennai.

MG Ramachandran - MGR Chennai
Remembering the late Tamil Nadu leader MG Ramachandran on his birthday.
Maruthur Gopala Ramachandran (Tamil: மருதூர் கோபால இராமச்சந்திரன்; Malayalam: മരുതൂര് ഗോപാല രാമചന്ദ്രന്) (January 17, 1917 – December 24, 1987), popularly known as M. G. R. (Tamil: எம்.ஜி.ஆர்; Malayalam: എം.ജി.ആര്) or Puratchi Thalaivar (Tamil: புரட்சி தலைவர்; English: Revolutionary Leader), was a Tamil film actor and Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu from 1977 until his death.
The magical word MGR had unprecedented mass appeal in Tamil Nadu though he was not a Tamilian by birth. He was the uncrowned king of all spheres he touched and his political appeal had rocked even the rulers at the centre in New Delhi. He identified himself with the poor masses and tried his best to live up to their aspirations. Here is a man whose cult image will stay for ever in India and especially in Tamil Nadu where he is treated as a demigod even today and influence the politics. MGR was above board during his rule, a rare quality among the politicians and certainly lives forever in the hearts of 100 million Tamils spread all over the world, though his name is synonymous even today with thrills and action in movies in entire southern India.
We need such leaders for another revolution. He is notably remembered for his free meals at school programme.

what are the improvements needed in education in chennai?
We have already written about the Literate project in Chennai, in one of our previous articles. This project is for improving the education from the scratch.
However, there is another question - how to improve existing education in Chennai?
What is our education infrastructure today? Here is the education profile of Chennai
There are various improvement points to be considered -
1) There are colleges opened today with the motive of only profits in mind. On those days, schools and colleges were built with a motive of education in mind, but controversially these days colleges are started as a business. Money minded colleges, cannot provide great education.
Even parents are willing to provide lakhs to get their children engineering or medical degree. If they want a professional degree, they should get him study very well. Anyway, let us stick to the topic and I guess, we are moving away from the topic.
2) We need great teachers. Teachers are supposed to be highly respected people in the world. Teachers stand and all students sit in the chair, when a class is provided. Teachers stay at the same place, but the students get graduated and progress in their lives to go to the top. Hence, teacher profession is great and hats off to all the teachers! If you go to government schools, there are some teachers, who never teach, but they get hefty salaries - chitchat, do side business and never have children's education in mind. Teachers have to have vision in their mind. How do I want my children to progress? How do I inspire students to come up in life? How do I ignite the students? Teachers have to become inspiration to the students.
3) Comparing Montessori education to education in Chennai - Soft skills, social skills, thinking abilities has to be improved instead of getting the children memorizing the text books. Students has to be made understood about the meaning of the texts!
4) Reading habit has to be improved in Chennai. More corporation libraries has to be opened in Chennai and there has to be readers programme's for children. Reading habit is one great habit, if inculcated into the students, then you don't have to worry about anything. They will come up in life. If you ask any successful person or any entrepreneur about their background and hobbies - they would read lot of books.
We tried to open free libraries in the past, but we have put the project on hold for future. Once we have sufficient money, we would open Free Libraries in Chennai.
5) Inspiration and Motivation among children would help them in long run, apart from the usual text books.
6) Parents have to give extra time in their evenings and weekends for their children's education.
7) Mathematical, Language, personality and communication skills has to be improved in all respects.
This is enough for now, I believe. However, will continue this topic later with another article may be part-ii. This article was written upon request...

Recently, medical professionals from various Asian, European and American countries have begun coming to AIIMS to train, as the exposure to various diseases attained there is rare in most other institutions..

what would you do with Rs.1 crore? - Chennai Finance Wisdom
Sponsored by OruAcre.com
What would you do, if you get a financial windfall of Rs.1 crore?
Would you invest all into real estate?
Would you buy stocks and put it into the market?
Would you and your wife enjoy spending it?
Would you give it for charity?
What would you do?
I am sure you would be shocked! Money can come in various ways to you. At some point of time, if you are lucky, you would get a financial windfall. Be prepared! I am not saying tomorrow you would get a windfall, but any point of life, it can happen.
As soon as you get a financial windfall, don't do anything. There would be lot of advices, lot of new friends, lot of relatives hanging out with you. These people wouldn't have even cared for you in normal days. Hence, don't get overwhelmed. Just stay calm and do whatever you were doing, as in past.
However, you should consult the financial planner and not mention about the windfall. If you mention about it, you will be looted by commissions. However, if this financial planner is a trustworthy person, he/she is the right person to talk to.
Talk to your good friends about it and others ignore it. However, don't overthrow any good friends on the name of money.
Don't panic. If you panic, you will end up putting the money in wrong places. Hence, stay calm and patient.
The whole idea of putting all the money into one pocket is not a good. The age old fundaa has to be applied here. Diversification...
Think about what you really need from life? Do you want to just stay on life and exist in life, without working. Retire early? or do you want to become big using this money?
Put the money in various pockets and make sure you have enough backup for anything emergent. Invest in something, which would earn you money, with a safety lock on it. In Chennai there is solid business - build commercial complexes, wherein businesses can be opened. You would get good money for your living.
So, invest a part of it, in real estate. I wouldn't give any percentage, because it depends on what you really want in life, based on Rs.1 crore you have. Invest in lands.
Pay off all the debts you will have;
Invest in market; Invest in businesses you know very well;
Invest on people; Make yourself a job, out of it;
Build businesses for yourself. Have a great backup like 40% of the money!
Give some for charity...
Don't forget to enjoy the money - like 3 lakhs for enjoyment out of 1 crore.
At last, don't forget one important point - People first, Money next!

What would you do, if you get a financial windfall of Rs.1 crore?
Would you invest all into real estate?
Would you buy stocks and put it into the market?
Would you and your wife enjoy spending it?
Would you give it for charity?
What would you do?
I am sure you would be shocked! Money can come in various ways to you. At some point of time, if you are lucky, you would get a financial windfall. Be prepared! I am not saying tomorrow you would get a windfall, but any point of life, it can happen.
As soon as you get a financial windfall, don't do anything. There would be lot of advices, lot of new friends, lot of relatives hanging out with you. These people wouldn't have even cared for you in normal days. Hence, don't get overwhelmed. Just stay calm and do whatever you were doing, as in past.
However, you should consult the financial planner and not mention about the windfall. If you mention about it, you will be looted by commissions. However, if this financial planner is a trustworthy person, he/she is the right person to talk to.
Talk to your good friends about it and others ignore it. However, don't overthrow any good friends on the name of money.
Don't panic. If you panic, you will end up putting the money in wrong places. Hence, stay calm and patient.
The whole idea of putting all the money into one pocket is not a good. The age old fundaa has to be applied here. Diversification...
Think about what you really need from life? Do you want to just stay on life and exist in life, without working. Retire early? or do you want to become big using this money?
Put the money in various pockets and make sure you have enough backup for anything emergent. Invest in something, which would earn you money, with a safety lock on it. In Chennai there is solid business - build commercial complexes, wherein businesses can be opened. You would get good money for your living.
So, invest a part of it, in real estate. I wouldn't give any percentage, because it depends on what you really want in life, based on Rs.1 crore you have. Invest in lands.
Pay off all the debts you will have;
Invest in market; Invest in businesses you know very well;

Economic conditions of Autorickshaw drivers in Chennai
This article would explain the economic conditions of Autorickshaw drivers in Chennai...
I personally know few autorickshaw drivers in Chennai. They have a unique lifestyle in Chennai. Youngsters(bachelors) among the autorickshaw drivers are usually some fan club members. However, there are married autorickshaw drivers in Chennai. Commonly, majority of these guys drink significantly(just a data point). The drivers would even have a cleaner(sometimes), for a three wheeler - who travels with the driver!
Autorickshaw drivers are the ones who drive the three wheeler motor vehicle, but there are rickshaw riders who manually pedal the rickshaw. Their situation is deteriorating day-by-day and in fact much more pathetic. Whoever were riding the manual rickshaws in past few years for their living are just trying to exist and keep it going. There are no more new manual rickshaw riders. Manual rickshaw will be gone soon, I believe.
However, autorickshaw is something which came from last generation. As it seemed to be a profitable business and employment, lot of people started to drive autorickshaws and many bought autorickshaws and provided for rent to many drivers. The driver will have to just pay a daily rent and he can use the auto as much as he want in the day.
Even though public transport is available, if we want to go to a place faster and go conveniently, we prefer autos as first thing. However, it costs money and not like a Rs.3 or so for a bus trip from palanganatham to periyar bus stand. Auto riding is costly affair definitely.
One more point is - Chennai or any major city autorickshaw drivers cheat the customers, but Chennai autorickshaw drivers do not cheat, instead they help the passengers and tourists.
Today, public transport like Bus, Mini bus, Bikes, personal cars, bicycles are available. Also, not-minding the cost of autorickshaws, people are still riding in autos. But the problem is - there is too many number of autorickshaws to serve the chennai auto users. Hence, there is not a fulfilling salary for the autorickshaw drivers.
It does not seem to be a lucrative business anymore. As on date, there is Call Taxi into Chennai transport arena. So, there is a reduction of demand of autos, from that perspective.
However, there is a concept of Share Autos, which commutes group of people from one place to another place, but this needs a permit.
All said, the overall economic conditions hit autorickshaw drivers, because autos are mainly used by middle class people and it is not lower middle class or upper middle class. It is only middle class, who use autos.
If middle class folks are in good condition, then automatically autorickshaw drivers would live well too.

Chennai Tea shop - a speciality beverage in Chennai
Earlier, I have written about Chennai Tea shops - click here to read, but please come back to this article.
Chennai Tea shops are special. You want to know the reasons, here are they -
* 365/24/7 you can get tea.
* tea with a combination of murukku anytime. But in special times like evenings, you get bajji, vada etc.,
* You are treated royal, if you are decent enough in dressing.
* 1/2 tea can be ordered. that means one tea can be shared in two glass tumblers by two individuals.
* Tea is served in glass tumblers with 3/4'ths filled with tea. Smoke is also sold anytime, even one-by-one. - 'Bossu cigarette saapteengalaa bossu?' - 'bossu neenga cigarette saappudra palakkam irukkaa?'
* A friendship is shared with a tea. - 'Bossu teaa saappudunga bossuu'.
* A conversation is started with a tea.
* A Thanks is conveyed with a tea.
* On an average, men drink like 3-5 teas in a day, when they go out.
* 'paal-tea' can be ordered - which has more milk in it. that is why it is called paal-tea.
* Any corner street or main town place you go, you can get tea.
* The number of tea shops in Chennai is infinite.
* you also get other beverages - coffee, horlicks, bournvita...
* Even in hot sun and middle of the noon - chennai folks would be drinking tea, instead they should be drinking cool drinks.
* A tea used to cost Re.1 and 50 paise. But today, it costs Rs.2, 50 paise and Rs.3.
Chennai Tea shop is Chennai's Starbucks coffee place, as in US.
What if I have to setup a tea shop and consider it as one of my businesses?? Yes, it is possible. There are two ways - either setup a roadside shop or setup an upscale one like Coffee Day or any Coffee Bar etc., as my friend used to like Visalam Coffee Bar - I have never been there...
It is a real good business to setup a tea or coffee shop in Chennai. It will turn out to be a good profitable business...Think about it!!

* A friendship is shared with a tea. - 'Bossu teaa saappudunga bossuu'.
* A conversation is started with a tea.

* On an average, men drink like 3-5 teas in a day, when they go out.
* 'paal-tea' can be ordered - which has more milk in it. that is why it is called paal-tea.
* Any corner street or main town place you go, you can get tea.
* The number of tea shops in Chennai is infinite.
* you also get other beverages - coffee, horlicks, bournvita...
* Even in hot sun and middle of the noon - chennai folks would be drinking tea, instead they should be drinking cool drinks.
* A tea used to cost Re.1 and 50 paise. But today, it costs Rs.2, 50 paise and Rs.3.
Chennai Tea shop is Chennai's Starbucks coffee place, as in US.
What if I have to setup a tea shop and consider it as one of my businesses?? Yes, it is possible. There are two ways - either setup a roadside shop or setup an upscale one like Coffee Day or any Coffee Bar etc., as my friend used to like Visalam Coffee Bar - I have never been there...
It is a real good business to setup a tea or coffee shop in Chennai. It will turn out to be a good profitable business...Think about it!!

My Chennai Father Part-II and my Health
My Chennai Father Part-II and my Health
Couple of Health Resolutions I have made this year.
A huge step - saying no to Alcohol, even to a small degree(even social drinking).
Preference to riding bicycle, instead of always using car.
This is going to drastically improve my health conditions.
Lesser vulnerability heart diseases. Self-motivated and less depression moments.
More fitness and normal weight for my body. Pumping my heart, periodically for good health!!
What I am doing is - My office is 1 mile from my apartment.
I go to office by bicycle in the morning, come back have lunch and then go back to office in the afternoon. By end of the day, I come back by bicycle in the evening. This gives me around 4-5 miles of exercise everyday. Even the commuting time is pretty much same as my car's considering the signal wait times and traffic. Isn't it worth?
While I ride my bicycle, I remember my father(dad).
Here is a first article I posted about my father - click here.
My grandfather used to walk all the way from his village Vadivelkarai or from Periyar Bus stand and come to our home in Chennai. My father used to go to work from TVS Nagar to Madura Coats (near Jail Rd, Chennai(near Arasaradi)). We are all spoilt people by using Car and not using bicycles.
My dad used to go this 12 km commute everyday and anywhere else he has to go, he still uses the same bicycle! Isn't it great? I guess, they use buses for other transport needs also. I feel happy and proud when I go by the same kind of bicycle and go to work for my family, apart from my health benefits!
I am also a good father, working for the family!!:)

Recylcing program in Chennai : T Kallupatti
T Kallupatti perooratchi in Chennai has initiated a Recycling program to all the houses in the constituency.
This is the first time the bio-degradable and non-biodegradable materials are going to be separated and recycled in Chennai. Two separate bags would be given to the houses in T Kallupatti for different kinds of recycling.
Prior to this, all the bio-degradable and non-biodegradable materials were dumped under same pit and closed under the ground. Isn't it a great initiative?
Next, place in Chennai to follow this would be vadipatti, it seems.

Chennai Airport Status - 80 years behind
There is a recent news release by FORTUNE magazine about the World's worst Airports.(thanks thatstamil for the news)
World's worst Airports
1.Mumbai
2.Delhi
4.Bangalore
I am sure you understand the status of infrastructure, especially AIR infrastructure in India. Too bad to hear...lot of things to do by the government...
Recently I visited San Fransisco International Airport and I saw a photo poster there near the ticket counters. A photo with San Fransisco Airport dating back to 1935, 1955, 1980 etc., were posted. I was able to compare Chennai Airport with it dating back to 1935 only.
In terms of Air Infrastructure, we(Chennai) are about 75 to 80 years behind...

Advice for Credit Card Users - Chennai Money Wisdom
Smart Tips for Credit Card Users
Credit cards can help build a good credit history but improper use can be disastrous. It can be said that credit card debt is easy come and not so easy go. Being knowledgeable and reading the fine print may save you money and may prevent unnecessary expenses when it comes to using plastic.
If you own one or more credit cards, consider the following tips:
1) Most credit cards offer rewards such as airline tickets, cash back, car insurance and other incentives.
2) Paying off your monthly balance to avoid interest will allow you to fully reap the benefits of the card.
3) Credit card applications may often contain low interest rates to attract customers. Before you sign, research: varying interest rates, minimum payment requirements, grace periods, annual fees and credit limits.
4) Understand the impact that cancelling a credit card will have on your credit score. If the card is one that you've had for awhile and consistently paid off, it could negatively affect your credit rating.

non-IT folks in Chennai
There is always an opinion that IT and ITeS people earn more than required/average in their jobs and they make lot of money. This has been the situation compared to other jobs from the time IT came into popularity.
All non-computer science graduates, bank employees, B.Com graduates, B. Sc graduates, mechanical engineers, only school educated people - everyone, irrespective of their education, they all moved to IT and ITeS(Software) companies for jobs.
As it is generally considered, in an economy all the sectors has to grow. But, that was not the case in our economy. Software and BPO sectors were growing too fast, but other industries did not see that much growth.
Considering the current situation of the IT economy -
1) Global Economy slowdown
2) IT Services Major Satyam in deep trouble
3) Job loss and Unemployment increasing
These things happen in services industry. Non-IT people, who have not come into IT in their lifetime, would sadistically like this situation because this is not a great situation for IT, while IT folks has been showing off a lot during their good times.
People think about only IT and related and not other industries at all, in terms of education or even jobs or investment.
For example, if a parent wants to enroll his son/daughter into the college, they choose only IT or IT related courses. This is not good for the economy. The choice has to be varied and not just concentrated on one field. That is not good for the economy.
There is a similar situation in Sports in India. Everyone like Cricket and media covers only Cricket news. There are n number of sports in the world, but we don't care about it and it is not healthy at all. This is not good either.
Whenever is a problem realized, there is always solution following it. So, hopefully this wave of IT slowdown will bring some solution, I believe.
Thank you for listening.

Business Success Case Analysis - All about people - Chennai Business Wisdom
A business evolves from an idea. An idea originates on a person's mind, while he/she sees a problem and there are too many people who would want that problem to be solved. Of course, the person who comes up with this idea is passionate about the whole thing.
As long as the person is a passionate about the idea, then if (s)he keeps working on that idea. The real turning point happens, when more people get attracted to the solution. People think that he is really solving the problem. This is the case when the business goes into success stage. More people get attracted into the business - automatically things would work out.
For example - Craigslist.org's Craig created the classifieds website and gave it free for all the users and visitors, while all the classified websites were asking money. Craig made the user interface simple that anybody could use it. Simplicity in doing things and do not complicate things. Now, Craig charges the "Post Jobs" feature only and that company is successful.
That is the idea. Say - you have a website - once you have considerable number of visitors, automatically you can convert that website into a business and it will fetch you revenue.
That is what I am talking about. Get many people know about business and that will reach as many people as needed and in fact much more than needed.
Overall Business Thumb rule is - Get more people to know about your business and use your services at low cost or free and they will come to know how special you are - and you will be successful, provided you serve what they need in right manner.

Chennai Family Administration
I was imagining, if a family administration is done, similar to a corporation(city) administration. That would bring lot of organization in family.

1) Connect with all friends periodically
2) Learn to talk nicely and elaborately
Transportaion:
1) Vehicle maintenance - bicycle, car, motor bike etc.,

Plastic Recycling in Chennai
Solid Waste Management and Plastic Recycle in Chennai
Even as a modernising India and every district like Chennai roars ahead, it is leaving a trail of plastic waste everywhere. Bottles, bags, buckets, shoes and garments are thrown away by the rich and the poor. Luckily, India has already exhausted that reflex reaction of shallow thinkers: ‘ban plastics!’ And even more luckily, some sober minds are focused on creative solutions to the problem. In terms of reclycling research - there are two initiatives which has come out of the labs.
Prof Vasudevan in Chennai, Tamil Nadu had proposed blending plastic waste with bitumen and rock aggregate used in paving roads. He said this improves bonding and make the roads survive the monsoons better. A small stretch of road was paved early this year to prove the concept. Now there is news that the practice may be spreading.
While that approach has to do with disposal, Alka Zadgaonkar’s is do with reuse. An academic and a researcher in Nagpur, she has gained a WIPO patent for her process to convert all manner of plastic wastes into petrochemicals. For eight years she and her husband Umesh have worked on perfecting the process. They then demonstrated it to many critical audiences. And now news comes that their doggedness may be paying off. Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] has signed a deal with her.
That apart - what is the measure done in Chennai for recylcing?
As "The Hindu" reports in June 2008, Average quantum of waste generated from each household is around 2.5 kg. Individually, nobody puts it into separate containers or places for recycling, like other developed nations do. In fact, the special rag pickers pick the plastics and recyclable wastes and get money for that from the organized recyclers.
A comprehensive solid waste management policy is on the anvil to halve the waste generated by houses in town panchayats by 2015, K. Gopal, Commissioner, Town Pachayats, has said.
The policy would be based on three R's: reduce, recycle and reuse. Awareness and training programmes would be conducted for stakeholders.
Each district would have at least one plastic recycle unit, he said. Residents would be encouraged to hand over non-degradable waste to these units through organised rag-pickers. We need to make it to one kg per household, instead of 2.5 kgs.
This is more of lack of awareness. Till date, there are many people who do not even know that there is a recylcing concept and also how harmful it is to the environment, if we ignore it. If you are interested, we wrote an article about clean and Green Chennai, sometime back.
After a little research online, Chennai Times bloggers(reporters) found out some recyclers. If you are a recycler and want to be listed, let us know at chennaitimes@gmail.com.
