Bangalore Infrastructure Policy urban development public transport
Hi,
Centre for infrastructure and Sustainable Transportation & Urban Planning (CiSTP) was inaugurated by Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on the premises of Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in January 2009. CiSTUP is focusing on issues related to urban transport, planning and infrastructure, besides urban local issues such as water supply, sewerage and solid waste management.
Most of the Government of Karnataka Departments and organizations such as Namma Metro, BMTC are now working with this center.
I have arranged a meeting with the chairman of CiSTP Prof. T G Sitharam.
Agenda:
1. To explain activities of CiSTP to praja members. (Prof. Sitharam is already aware of praja)
2. To get feedback from Praja members on upcoming Government of Karnataka policy regaring Urban infratructure development. I will try to get the copy of draft policy before the meeting.
Date/Time: July 18, 2009, Saturday, 11 AM probably till 1 PM.
Venue: CiTSUP office in IISc. To reach this building, Use the entrance located next to Circle Shri Maramma Temple. This is at the north side dead end of Margosa Road where it meets the Sankey road. Once inside, you can see the SID building. CiSSTP building is behind SID and can be reached from left (west side) road.
IMPORTANT: Please carry a photo ID card as Security at the IISc gate may ask for it.

I was trying to check if I could get IISc interested in taking up road design as student projects, my contacts was more with the Product design dept., that links in to my alumni a lttle bit.
But I guess this department is the right one to go to. Is it OK to discuss some of this stuff the Prof once you are finished with the above agenda ?
