 Nellore is a City in Andhra Pradesh which has great cultural

heritage and historic importance. Of late it has become a City
with lack of cleanliness, no control over traffic, pollution due to
open canals(Like Sarvepalli) etc.
Here is a Blue Print for a Clean and Green City with all-round
development.

Unwieldy Traffic:
Today no pedestrian dares to walk on Nellore main roads. No
platforms on many roads and no provision to cross the roads
safely. In Important Centres on the Trunk Road like Gandhi Statue
Centre,Pogathota Centre,V.R.College Centre,Madras Bus Stand
Centre KVR Petrol Bunk Centre FOOT OVER BRIDGES have to be
set up for pedestrians to safely cross the Road. They are common
in many small cities also.

Also Zeebra Lines on the Roads should be with special paint

for lastinglong.

MODERNISE THE TRAIN BRIDGES:

New Train Bridges Near Atmakur Bus Stand and South
Station:
The present Rail bridge near Atmakur Bus Stand is are
old and need to be replaced with improvements.

The Sarvepalli Canal Passing through Stone House pet is the

major source of Pollution. Garbage dumped and produces
unbearable smell for the pedestrians. The entire canal
passing through the Nellore City can be cleaned and good
water let in.Once Hardwar was like this, Thanks to the Kumbh
Mela there was remarkable improvement:

 Nellore is a fast growing city with many high rise buildings especially in Magunta Layout. In this area Roof Top Solar and small wind turbines can be encouraged
to supplement power.
Already Wind Turbines are working in the area.

SPSR NELLORE DISTRICT:

Total Wastelands4918.18 Sq. Km
Total Geographical Area: 13076.00 Sq.Km
Percentage: 37.61
Though the data is a bit old not much changes
in converting the Wastelands in Nellore District.
We should learn a lesson from Israel outside
the country and
from Punjab in bringing land
under cultivation. Can Any Nation afford to keep
millions of hectares of land vacant.

I have a Novel Plan:

These vast vacant land can be brought under cultivation by going in for Care-free Growth, Regenerative CAM
Plants. These Cam Plants expand in Night and absorb Carbon Dioxide and contract in Day facilitating
Photosynthesis. Wider cultivation of these plants will act as Carbon Sink.

OPUNTIA AND AGAVE FOR BIOFUEL/BIOGAS FOR POWER AND BIOCHAR:

Agave Competitive Advantages

* Thrives on dry land/marginal land. Most efficient use of
soil, water and light
* Massive production. Year-around harvesting
* Very high yields with very low or no inputs
* Very high quality biomass and sugars
* Very low cost of production. Not a commodity, so prices are
not volatile
* Very versatile: biofuels, byproducts, chemicals
* World-wide geographical distribution
* Enhanced varieties are ready.

 AN INNOVATIVE PLAN:
Wastelands can be given on lease to
Youth(Unemployed) about v10 acres each and
10 such people can farm a co-operative. They
can grow plants like Agave and Opuntia in these
waste lands. Locally Agro industries can be set
up to get Biofuel/biogaspower/biochar. This way
Biogas can be supplied through pipes to
residents in the rural areas(as in China). This
falls in line with Gandhian Philosophy of Agro
Industries utilizing Local Resources and
Resourcefulness. This solves the twin problems
of Unemployment and bringing waste land
under cultivation.

UTILISATION OF RENEWABLES FOR CLEAN ENERGY:

Here is a plan for SPSR Nellore District to utilize Renewables:

Here is an action plan for Andhra Pradesh on Renewables to bring in Rural Prosperity:
1. Promote Offshore Wind Farms.
2. Promote small wind generators as decentralised systems
3. Roof Top PV Solar
4. Energy Park to promote the cause and use of Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation in the country.
5. Wind Farm Co-operatives on the lines of those in Germany,Denmark etc.
6. Solar Co-operatives on the lines of those in US.
7. Energy Conservation by replacing most of the inefficient irrigation electric pump sets(About 30% power can be saved). Agriculture consumes much power next only to
Industry
8. Reading lights with reliable and quality dual powered(Solar/Electricity/USB) to save enormous energy.

9. Biofuel/Biogas for power generation and cooking from Agave/opuntia carefree growth,regenerative and CAM plants. In China Biogas for cooking is
supplied trough pipes.
In the vast vacant land in India Agave and Opuntia can be grown and
power generation established as decentralised locally.
10. Simple Box Type Solar Cooker with frying facility( 3D
approach,Design,Demonstrate and Disseminate)
11.Cost effective vertical and cylindrical,mobile solar water heater design.
12. Low head Micro hydro device to generate power from the head of falling
water from the delivery pipe of Electric/diesel pump
sets.
13. KW size Biogas power/cooking plant for villages.
14. Simple solar drier
15. Growing CAM Plants in Waste and Vacant lands which act as Carbon Sink.
Energy Conservation

TOURISM AS A SOURCE OF INCOME FOR

SPSR NELLORE Dt:

Countries like Philippines,Thailand,Malaysiathrive mostly on toiurism

because of nice beaches. SPSR District Has Nice Beach resorts and when
once developed will be popular resorts.
