Udupi, Apr 22: The Congress party on Monday April 22 released its new booklet on development in Udupi - after 12 years - a booklet called ‘Vision Udupi–2025’.

'Vision Udupi–2025' in essence is the manifesto of the Udupi Congress, about development plans which Congress promises to undertake if it comes to power. The party declared that this particular booklet will be distributed door-to-door in Udupi constituency.

Pramod Madhwaraj, president, block Congress, told the media that Udupi will be a model district by 2025. The vision involves all the aspects of Udupi including drinking water deficiency. “The party is planning to provide drinking water 24x7 for 365 days.

Hi-tech bridge and roads will be constructed, tourism will be encouraged, fishing industry will be facilitated, education and health will be prioritized so also sports. Self-reliant industry agriculture will be uplifted.”

He also added that the electric terminals situated in Udupi should fulfill local needs rather than that of other districts. “Congress will do the needful for implementing this in the district. There will be enough substations and transformers formed to reach electricity everywhere.”

“A super specialty hospital will be constructed at a cost of Rs 500 crore. Better drainage facility will be provided to Manipal, Parkala, Malpe Kalyanpura, Ambagilu, and Biloor. The solid waste management system will be sophisticated. BPO and IT companies will be brought to the district to provide maximum job opportunity to the youth. Revenue and public issues will be sorted out especially issues like transfer, registration and title deeds etc.,” said Madhwaraj.

“The booklet talks about each and every field of life. Krishna Hegde, MLA from Mumbai is also an observer. As per the order of A K Anthony he will come here and next week Sonia Gandhi will be visiting Dakshina Kannada and Chikmagalur. We have young candidates here and expect 100 percent victory. I will be reporting the day-to-day activities of the district to the All India Congress committee. I have gone through all the problems faced by the district. Corruption should be weeded out,” he added.

Meenakshi Madhav Bannanje, president, Mahila Congress, Yathish Karkera, president,Youth Congress, Divakar Kunder, member, zilla panchayat, Pratab Hegde, and Laxman Shenoy were also present.

    This is the begining of Real Democratic election now. THis is how a democratic parties go for election, You give your master plan for development by written then public will ask you about that in next election. Its really pathetic to fool people with 1 rupee rice and Laptops, that doesnt improve the poor peoples standard of living. By infrastructure development poor as well as rich peoples standard of living will improve. Religion caste, creed,hatred speech etc wont help anyone to improve the society,state and country as a whole. When more progress and infra work going on corruption will prevail

    Why a 500 crore multi speciality hospital when KMC Manipal is only 6 Kms away??? I think this plan is to exhume public funds & reel off money for devious deeds....Udupi is far advanced & better off now than the statistics of Congress party mentions

    Why not salute Pramod for his brilliant vision for a small town? Jeevan, ravi, dinesh..I am ashamed of your jealousy!! If this vision is implemented...you may dislike but will help 99.99% people of Udupi and surrounding areas. Everyone knows the ability of opposition above! The way town planning functioned for past few years is enough evidence!! Being positive and optimistic towards good cause and bright vision is good for mankind. Dinesh, Jeevan...nobody likes pessimists!! Wish dynamic Pramod succeeds implementing his wonderful vision!!

    THIS MANIFESTO SHOWS REAL COURAGE TO PUBLISH AND I BELIEVE MR PRAMOD IS ABLE TO HANDLE IT SINCE HE IS BIZ MAN.
    'PLAN YR WORK,THEN WORK YR PLAN', SO THIS MANIFESTO SHOWS THAT HE HAS STUDIED THE SITUATION AND THE REQUIREMNTS OF THE EVERY CITIZENS.
    VISION 2025 IS A REAL DARING ISSUE, OFF COURSE THERE R BACK STABBING PEOPLE N THEY WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.
    AT THE MOMENT THE YOUNGER GENERATION NEED A YOUNG AND HONEST LEADER TO LEAD THEM, BCOZ IN UDIPI DIST WE KNOW WE ALL R WELL EDUCATED, BUT LACK OF GOOD LEADERS, OUR SOCIETY IS BEEN DIVIDED BY SOME POLITICAL PARTIES N THIER GROUPS IN THE NAME OF RELIGION/CASTE.
    THIS YOUNG LEADER CAN CHANGE MANY THINGS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL CITIZENS AND THIS 'VISION 2025' WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
    WE HV SEEN SAME KIND OF DEVELOPMENTS HERE IN GULF AND IT IS TAKING PLACE ON A DAY TODAY BASIS AND CHANGES HV COME AND THEY ARE NOW OFFCOURSE ON THIER VISION.
    I REQUEST ALL UDIPI CITIZENS TAKE THIS MANIFEST AS A TOKEN AND START WORKING ON IT SO TOGETHER WE CAN AND WE WILL.
    HERE WE SALUTE THE PERSON NOT THE PARTY OR POLITICS.
    I WISH HIM A GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES.
    IN CASE IF MR PRAMOD DIDNOT WIN THE ELECTION NO PROBLEM BUT STILL WE CAN BUILD OUR VISON THRU OUR SOCIETY.

    Dear Pramod Madhwaraj, I wish your dream would come true one day but for your vision 2025, I have alternative concrete plan to implement the same. I.e. No need to construct Hi-tech Bridge and roads instead please press your UPA Government to release the funds to complete the current 4 lane NH66 reconstruction works. In Udupi region no need to give advertisement for tourism since this is the historical place and even new born child too know the importance of Udupi place famously called as “City of Temples” but please concentrate on infrastructure rather. We need few more Jetty or Quay Walls or Mini Port to facilitate fishing industry in our region which will remain in your dream only. Udupi and Manipal are already under World Map for Education and Health Sectors. Can you press for Cricket Stadium in Udupi region? No need to uplift the agriculture sectors in our region but only they need is Insurance coverage for their cultivation which may get spoiled due to flood situation or scarcity of water. Instead you may consult Oscar since he had “similar dream vision” few decades ago too!!

    'Vision Udupi-2025' is a bunch of jokes & lies. Even though the congress were in power for so many years in udupi what development did they do, look at BJP development work good roads, good parks, lot of parking spaces & so many other good development work. The congress can never match the development work of BJP, so congress leaders stop fooling your general public.

    Dear Dinesh,
    Without the building of strong economic foundation for India by strong leaders including from both Cong and some BJP, Yeddi and team had no chance to corrupt the system and loot!! But alas, those who are able to read and write (and use internet)today are blaming others who did the spadework and toiled. Please try to see the sacrifices of yester-years to realize better tomorrow.

    Dear Pramod Madhwaraj, may your vision and mission may materialize.
    Along with development what our Country needs is :
    1. Character reformation, we have more School/colleges but character is diminishing! Crime, rapes and injustices are increasing!
    2. Cleanliness: We have more Doctors but health of the people is deteriorating! Need environment protection.
    3. Political reformation: We have so many parties but values and ethics are diminishing!
    4. Justice delivery systems: As our population is raising, so as cases in courts! Justice delivery system should be speedily reformed to to give quick justice.
    5. Economic development together with upliftment of poor: Real development of the nation is poverty alleviation and reduction of Rich and poor Gap.
    Strangely in our country economic development has widened rich poor gap.

    you are absolutely right dinesh ...BJP has given great vision. It has done everything in last 5 years which has been not done in past 65 years in karnataka.For example watching blue film in vidhana saudha, keeping illegal relationships, 2 Deputy CM for the first time of karnataka history, Operation Kamala, Resort politics,etc...and of course last month former Udupi Bjp Mla showed his tremendous improvement throgh video:):) what a vision:)

    Dear Sir,
    I read your message as being in the negative tone in the first part and spiritual one in the later but failed to get the message. I believe, Mr. Pramod knows what he has promised and is also capable of delivering many part of the promises, if not all!! Also, I believe, he will not sit idle without trying. Good luck to Udupi people.

    It look like an ambitious plan. However if all the people adhere to their promises and work sincerely for the district - indeed all the promises will be fulfilled. The need of the day is dedication and sincerity of purpose. These should not remain as ELECTION ASSURANCES but ELECTION REALITIES. I join scores of people in wishing the people concerned the best of everything and MAY ALL THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE.

    Very vague plan, I feel this is a ploy for votes. Where will the bridges be built? What is a "sophisticated" waste management systes. How will you make electricity reliable, where will you build the substations and where will the money to pay for these facilities come from?

    All these questions remain unanswered, but must be answered.
