deterrent.

2006 was allowed at the rate of Rs.250 per square meter for residential,
institutional and other categories whereas Rs.500 per square meter was
fixed for commercial/industrial buildings.

decided not to give any further extension for construction of buildings
on the plots allotted by it beyond March 31, 2006. A large number of
allottees applied for completion certificate on or just before March 31,
2006. These requests required processing in the Estate Office before
completion certificate could be issued and a large number of request for
giving extension beyond March 31, 2006 were also received. Keeping in
view a sympathetic view on the requests, the Administration has extended
the date to give an opportunity to those who have got their building

the need and the approach to developing a long-term vision and an
integrated strategic plan for the Region, which is most critical for
sustainable competitiveness, he further said.
According to Mr. Vivek Atray, Director Tourism, Chandigarh
Administration, "One of the biggest achievements of N'Tour was that it
set a platform for a Joint Action Plan (JAP) by the entire sector. The
JAP will help boost the growth in an organized and structured manner by
covering critical issues like common branding for North India Tourism ,
capacity building of human resource , policy issues including the
requirements of infrastructure and sharing of resources by Public
Private Partnership (PPP) for consolidation and growth as well as
addressing environmental issues. Mr Atray further said that going by the
success of the first edition of the Conclave, the Administration plans it
to make it an annual feature.
Deliberating on the sustainability of the Tourism with a specific
reference to Green Tourism, Mr Niranjan Khatri, General Manager, ITC

energy, material & chemical Intensity, Initiate "Greening of the Supply
chain", focus on Innovative Water Management RWH, DSM, &Use of H2O
frugal devices, enhance Eco Literacy in the entire Value Chain including
customers, initiate Triple Bottom Line concept: Economic, Environment &
Social and Travel Agencies and & Tour Operators to engage the tourists in
responsible tourism."

on the promotion of Medical Tourism in the Region and recommended for
setting up PPP in healthcare sector to improve the infrastructure in
existing public hospitals and their expansion with the earnings from
foreigners, to provide good health care to the nation. He also
highlighted the need for huge investment in hardware (equipment) as well
as software (training, skill) in healthcare at this stage
Eco Tourism was another subject which was discussed at length by Ms Vibha
Butial, Managing Partner, Hotel Amber. She highlighted that to conserve
the rich ecological and cultural heritage of the state on sustainable
basis, the involvement of local communities in Eco-tourism is extremely
vital as it would support their livelihood needs and consequently create
their direct stake in conservation of local culture, ecology and
environment.
"As a conscientious member of the Indian adventure industry, we must make
a conscious effort to promote minimum impact tourism. Our motto is the
rule of the great outdoors " TAKE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS LEAVE ONLY FOOT
PRINTS" and our eco code of conduct is an indelible part of our
operations" said Mr Shaukat Sikand, Markhor Adventures, while talking
about the promotion of Adventure Tourism.
Mr Manmohan Singh, Chairman, N'Tour, weaving all the sessions together,
aptly summed up that the Conclave enabled all the stake holders explore
the vast potential of tourism sector in North India. He further

land under his jurisdiction.

| 07.21.06 (11:20 pm) [edit] |
|
Chandigarh, July 21:Mr. Neel Rattan, Executive Director Business
Solutions, Price Waterhouse Coopers, said that need of the hour for
country like India is to put citizens first, and empower them and focus on
governance rather than the technology, which is just an enabler.
Speaking on the first plenary session of e-revolution 2006 on global
trends in e-governance, he emphasized that public-private partnership can
speed up the process of delivering services to the citizens effectively
and efficiently.
Mr. Vinesh Paperwala, District Manager South East Asia, Intel, said that
in order to implement the e-governance issue and take the transformation
in the fields of health, education, training, rural is no longer rural,
since it concerns citizens all across the country, Intel was involved
working closely with the state governments and had been at the forefront
in training over 550,000 teachers in various states including Panjab.
He informed that Intel was engaged in localizing the technology to meet
the needs of each country and said that special PCs are being developed in
their facility in Bangalore which are rugged and can face the rigours of
operating them in rural environments, and similarly new tablet computer is
being developed, again in Bangalore, for children in school.
Niraj Prakash, General Manager Solutions and Technologies, Oracle India,
informed that the company was working on various software solutions for
the state and central government departments not only to manage the rural
and urban development projects but also enabling internal efficiency
within the departments.
Dr. Jai Menon, Director IT and Innovation, Bharti Airtel Limited, said
that number of telecom users are on the rise but average revenue per user
continues to decline. We are one of the lowest in the globe in terms of
the revenue per minute, which is fantastic for the Indian masses making it
affordable. This has helped integrate government services to the
citizens through telecom innovations.
Mobile is no longer a communication devices it is about complete portal
and a handheld pc available with the citizens to access host of services
they need irrespective of the fact whether they are in urban or rural
areas using diverse technological resources at the back end bringing
together truly integrated innovative utility model, said Menon.
