"Bhagirath" is supposed to have brought the water of Ganges from it's Heavenly abode in Himalaya Mountains to the Indian planes which transformed the region in agro-economic-political sense . The Bhagirath server is named after this legend to signify the similar change to be brought about in each cluster through introduction of working flow of Information and knowledge through a proposed IT HUB .
What is IT HUB ?
IT HUB will be like a central HUB of wheel which acts as meeting point for all peripheral activities of development such as skills development, financial planning for proposed projects, Project management , IT enabled services such as health, education, banking, landscaping and architectural design , marketing , infotainment . The Bhagirath server will act as main repository of all digital content for both software and data to power all above activities as well as store all data generated through such activities carefully .
How IT HUB will be used ?
IT HUB will train local youth to operate various computer based applications hosted on the Bhagirath server through a low cost computer or web appliance connected through local area network with either Ethernet cables of Wireless connection and assist in use of the IT Enabled services . These coordinators will be change agents who will assist to initiate various programs and projects as part of Cluster development . As they will be self employed they will be motivated to promote their services in well identified area and generate revenue by giving benefit of the services in measurable terms .
What type of services will be given through this IT HUB ?
For example Health service agent will actually serve as IT enabled grass root level health worker and take care of various health programs for women, children and also operate public health programs. The revenue will come from government departments, NGOs and eventually subscribers from local community when they see the benefit for themselves from the services. IT enabling part will be to give all required knowledge base as reference , provide management structure to manage the health related data of the members through appropriate application software , provide content for public education in health matters. Services in other areas such as agriculture and education will be similarly enabled through IT HUB .
How will IT HUB get all required Content ?
Lot of useful data is being generated in form of web pages, digital maps, data bases, open source and commercial applications, images, multimedia programs , wikipedia type knowledge banks . Selected information content and software applications will be collected , bought , licensed or created to be stored in the Bhagirath Server . The updates will be regularly provided in form of DVD or online wherever there is broadband connection available for IT HUB. All content will be examined for it's value , tested in pilot environment and documented for it's application / deployment before it is included as part of Bhagirath server .
How will Bhagirath server be configured and managed as a system ?
Bhagirath server will be initially preloaded with essential software components such as operating system, drivers for devices , data base application, web server application, search engine , email server and management console for system level maintenance. Exact configuration of Bhagirath will be designed and upgraded as we learn about the needs for the IT HUB server capability and new versions may be made with compatibility ensured for existing setups.
Training will be given to system administrators to do local configuration such as user account management, back up and restore procedure, power management and start uo and shutdown procedure, communication and networking management functions and security . Trained systems administrators will also act as IT HUB central services coordinators . This work may be managed by local agencies at each Taluka level so that one person can manage 5 to 10 such IT HUBS in the local area if adequate manpower is not available at cluster level to start with.
How can IT HUB started and What would be the costs?
Bhagirath server will be made available as open source design for community deployment by Science & Technology Park at Pune University . Some of the content and software may require subscription charges/ license costs depending on the source of these components . Science & Technology Park will provide options for purchase of such components at centrally negotiated prices for community use. Training will be given for system administrators and IT Services operators by Konkan Corridor Project at central training center in various regions through Science & Technology Park. Contact Science & Technology Park, Pune or Mr.Ashok Saraf at saraf.ashok@gmail.com or 919890905752 for more details at any time . It is expected that pre-loaded Bhagirath Servers would be available in the range of Rs.11000 and above depending on the server configuration to start IT HUB . Besides the Bhagirath Server, host institution or individual will have to invest in power back up system, network and thin client computers for service providers. Low cost solutions will be made available in association with partners for all such hardware resources.
Who can start and operate IT HUB in any cluster ?
Any private individual or organization , Non Governmental Organization ( NGO ), Community group such as local grampanchayat or Cooperative Society , Educational Institution or Government Department willing to participate in Konkan Corridor Project can set up and operate IT HUB for benefit of local cluster . Leadership Council for local cluster development if formed in the cluster can be consulted for feasibility of such operations . IT HUB will be main resource center for the local region and hence host organization should be well aware of the concept of the cluster development . The training and awareness camps can be organized for such group by Konkan Corridor Project.
What would be expected revenue and return on investment ?
IT HUB will earn it's revenue mainly from training of the service providers and share in the revenue of services rendered by them . Small IT HUB with minimum investment and 5 to 10 associated service providers can expect to get return of initial investment through training and continue to earn about 10000Rs per month through services . Each service agent will also earn about 5 to 10000 Rs. per month , after deducting the operating costs for power, subscription for the software / services and maintenance .
What would be additional ICT resources at IT HUB ?
IT HUB could also provide intranet connectivity to server through switch and Ethernet cable in nearby area and through Wireless radio access point and tower in the radius of 1.5 to 5 KM to extend the reach of online services model. The online services may be for e-learning, test and certification for skills development program, and for data management for local projects and growing organizations . Hence as additional resource, network devices such as switches, hubs, cables, wireless access points and towers with antenna and associated power supply systems can be provided .
Can you summarize the proposed IT HUB concept ?
IT HUB is computer center for local use in a typical development cluster which will train and support the IT services agents in rural area to act as change agents or coordinators for various development projects. Such IT HUB will be designed to be economically sustainable and growing to match the needs in the specific cluster area.

How to Invest in Konkan Corridor Project
There are 3 steps of investments required for development of Clusters in Konkan Corridor project.
Step 1 : Initiation of Cluster development efforts in the local area . This requires minimal investment in the range of Rs. 10,000 to support the cost of hosting meetings and starting a resource center in one of the primary village of the cluster . At the end of this phase, the Cluster development model would be initiated for the specific cluster . This investment is expected from individuals and organizations interested in development of specific home cluster.
Step 2 : Base Investment to identify specific projects and prepare Detailed Project Reports for cluster development . This step involves GIS based mapping of existing resources and land use and setting up of Information and Communication infrastructure required for project preparation phases of survey , analysis and planning for all identified projects . This investment is in the range of 7.5 to 10 Lakh Rs. and will be used for procurement of infrastructure, data , meetings with various stakeholders and basic operational services. This investment will probably be made by individuals and organizations planning to become stakeholders in the development projects in the specific cluster or by government and non government agencies willing to adopt the inclusive development model for cluster based development as part of their development agenda .
Step 3 : Investment required for actual development projects . This could vary from few thousands to few hundred crores depending on the nature and size of the project.
This investment will be raised from open market for funds on the merit of the viability and Return on investment (ROI) for the specific projects. Some of the projects may get benefit of various government schemes for subsidies and soft loans.
With launching of resource centers for all 17 Talukas in the Ratnagiri and Sindhudurga Districts, we expect to get the step 1 process started in the specific clusters.
Any Individual or Organization interested in providing initiation funds for specific cluster in Konkan Corridor should contact Gokul Prakalp Pratishthan, Lanja or Science & Technology Park , Pune. All expenses incurred will be reported to maintain 100% transparency in the financial transactions.

Farmers Training in Enterpreneurship and Growth Lab
For your information and guidance and participation ,
As discussed with Mr. Gangavane today, we need to support an oncoming program for Growth Lab centers at each cluster in Konkan corridor project for entrepreneurship based activation of various growth programs for farm based enterprise promotion .
Govt of Maharashtra , Dept of Agriculture has promised to help and associate with such entrepreneurship model to be encouraged. It seems they have ongoing farmers training program for empowerment of farmers to become capable of handling their fate in better way .
Late Prof. Shripad Dabholkar had proposed and tried out an excellent pedagogical approach of Prayog Pariwar and it had produced good results in the area of Grapes which he had said was just an example he had chosen to try out the concept of generation of knowledge through sharing of real life experiments at social level. Vasant Gangavane ji had prepared a program document with him about 11 years back and he will find and send the copy of same for our reference.
We need to organize support from DST NSTEDB side for conducting such EDP in each cluster . On administrative side, we will set up the skillnet web site to include names of all farmers in each cluster by using the data from voters list so that we can manage the large numbers of participants efficiently .
Mr Gangavane is working on identifying the local agencies to support in coordinating the ground level work for such training in each of the 17 Talukas.
For local use we will need to put up server workstation in each of these 17 taluka centers with all the GISDA and other components built in. I expect that the hardware component will cost about 15000 Rs only and the local entrepreneur will be able to raise the same if we can make it as part of the EDP profile .
I will prepare the detailed proposal and reaquire ideas and guidelines from all of you .
I would like to communicate with Mr Zope who is coordinating the farmers training and would like to get his email if someone knows.

Pre Kick off meeting
Hi,
Mr. Vasant Gangavane, veteran IITan from Gokul Prakalpa Pratishthan , Lanja, Konkan , is now moving through all 117 Clusters identified by him as focus for inclusive development model at grass root and getting good response from local population to this offer of partnerships by IITans and professionals to make the development model work without change of land ownership .
The Jatha started on 18th Feb as planned , from southernmost taluka of Dodamarg in Sindhudurga district and covered Dodamarg and Wengurla taluka so far . Today it is at Sawantwadi .
Science & Technology Park , University of Pune is knowledge partner in this proposed Kokan Corridor Project and there will be kick off meeting in 14th / 15th March to coincide with end of Golden Jubilee year of IITB Golden Jubilee celebrations, at Agriculture university campus at Dapoli .
In Dodamarg taluka , villagers have agreed to partner and create a 500 Hector Rural Business Hub with land offered as equity by the locals to develop modern urban township to halt the long distance migration and settle the local population in business opportunities brought closer to them in this way . Growth Lab model for business incubation through Knowledge partnership by S& T Park will be used to create such opportunities through skills development . It is expected that in each of the 117 clusters in 2 districts , there will be one such RBH .
It is hoped that there will be reverse migration to finance the construction of the eco housing based homes and workspaces in the Rural Business Hub . Many developers have shown interest in creating their dreams of developpment come true in this fashion where there is no investment for land tarnsfer and a farmers owned enterprise becomes host for the modern city right in the midst of lush green Konkan area .
In each cluster there will be one representative and 10 student associates and 50 farmers as Contact persons for seeding the activities of konkan corridor . Local self help groups and NGOs working with such groups are also joining in for taking up skills development and growth programs to suit their agenda .
In each cluster of 15000 hectors, the availability of computerised data for land use, population , soil , water , forest cover from state governement will facilitate the planning ans self administration by rural panchayat and the open source based software developed by S&T Park will empower local youth to take on these tasks on professional basis to manage the various projects as Managers / entrepreneurs .
Let us all wish grand success nto this jatha and hope that the end of Golden Jubilee celebration year of IIT Bombay starts a new era where IITans partner with rural masses to builod the India 2020 vision hector by hector .
You are welcome to send your queries and ideas to support or question this Konkan Corridor ,
