It is time for Belgaum NEXT
7:10 PM Posted by ukmad
AAB had posted a story Systematic development to make Belgaum a model eco cityand the same was well received by all Belgaumites.
Taking this forward and giving it a concrete shape, today at the first preliminary meet was held at Hotel Effa. For any city to be developed in a proper and systematic and scientific manner a conference has been envisaged which will be held in July where prominent speakers will speak on Urban Planning, Use of Greener and efficient energy, Good and Bad practices in Developing Cities, Modeling the complexity of the evolving city, Integrated Infrastructures for Sustainable Cities, Necessary infrastructure required for Industrial development of Belgaum & Sustainable water conservation systems.
At todays meet various issues and what needs to be done to make Belgaum an eco city was discussed.
“Belgaum Next” would be a new banner under which all Belgaumites striving to see their home town develop and progress but in a systematic manner. Here there is no place for any bias, if one is a true Belgaumite and he or she wants to do something for the city, can come under the aegis of Belgaum Next and work towards the success of the conference.
Belgaum Next is not limited to the conference alone, this will be an ongoing activity to see Belgaum gets all it needs.
To take this concept forward we will require a lot of efforts from the readers as each one will have to spread the word about the conference and once this is done, the govt. officials will have no option but to listen to the people. In a democracy the bureaucrats work on their will, but if the people come together and make them listen what a city really needs, they will have to hear us.
Belgaum Next is just the beginning of a new revolution. And why does one need to be a part of a revolution, one can himself or herself can be a revolutionist.
AllAboutBelgaum.com and ITBelgaum.com will support the event in their capacities.
Todays meet was attended by various persons from different fields such as Pharma, Auto accessories, Aerospace, IT Belgaum, Media, Real estate and many others.
So think for Belgaum Next.

Radio needed License
11:44 AM Posted by ukmad
From a bulky box at the center of family life to a gizmo for the iFirst generation, the radio has shrunk in size. The memories haven’t.
Then one has to have a license from the Director General P&T to operate the radio.
The bulky radios of the 1960s that came with valves, aerial wiring and earthing and took long minutes to warm up before the first cackle came through are now the stuff of reminiscences and mostly a Murphy.
Here is a journey back to the 1960's after one sees that Radio License issued on 6-3-1968 to Smt.Deshpande of Hindwadi. The license fees were Rs.15 for a new one and Rs.3 for renewal every year. An additional radio in the same premises meant another Rs.3 as fees.
For the new generation who haven't seen Murphy radio and never knew that a license was needed yes, the license raj did exist then. Later on it was removed with time.
All the images have been shared by Uday Deshpande.
Thanks to him for preserving a part of history.
