Centre lauds Narendra Modi govt for projects with best land use

The Ministry of Urban Development lauded Gujarat on Wednesday when it showcased two key projects from the state as one of the best models to be followed. The praise for the state came during a presentation on Land Economics at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors International Conference 2013 in Delhi. The meet was attended by delegates from the United Kingdom.

At the meet, which was also attended by minister Kamal Nath, Urban Development Secretary Sudhir Krishna highlighted the best of use of land by two Gujarat projects, Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project and the Surat City Ring Road Project. He also mentioned a Hyderabad project and Bhopal lake project as other two examples of better land use.

"Not one bit of land has to be acquired and commercial land use is made available to parties. Land can pay for itself," said Krishna while taking about Surat City project. He said the Sabarmati project has helped promote the local market.

A month ago, the ministry had advised states to follow the Surat model. Though the project is yet to start, the model has impressed the ministry officials so much that they have asked the states to identify ways to replicate the model for overall development of cities.

The project aims to encourage highrise buildings, toll plazas, commercial spaces along the proposed road, thereby filling the state coffer. The state has also been praised for the best utilisation of Centre's flagship urban scheme, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.

At the meet, minister Kamal Nath said India's land economics was based on historical errors and there was no scientific approach to it. "India has one of the lowest floor area ratios. Delhi is surrounded by states and cannot expand. Share of the formal land market is..

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2...
