TNHB to join hands with land owners for projects

Having exhausted most of its land bank, the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) is planning to take up joint ventures with private land owners in the city, as well as in other parts of the State.

According to sources in TNHB, the proposal has been initiated as there is a paucity of land availability in and around the city. Moreover, the Board is facing difficulties in acquiring land for housing development.

In a bid to continue to develop projects, it has decided to procure property from private land owners,Glass Tile and glassmosaic for less at the Glass Mosaic Outlet. and construct apartments on a joint venture basis. “We are willing to develop property in less than one acre of land too.Latex moldmaking compound costs around $10 for a pint, However, it has to be free of encroachments and have a proper approach road as well as access to transport,” said an official.

TNHB is looking for land in the city, as well as within a 40 km radius of Chennai. It will also consider plots within a 15 km radius around all district headquarters across Tamil Nadu.HellermannTyton manufactures a full line of high quality cableties in a variety of styles,

“We have not identified any sites so far. We are looking at various agreement options with land-owners that would be profitable for both sides, be it providing a share in the apartments built or a profit,” said a source.

Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Limited has made a study on the documentation process and will help in arriving at a consensus about the type of agreement to be had with land owners.

TNHB also plans to demolish flat complexes which are 30-40 years old, with low floor space index (FSI) and develop them with more built-up area according to the FSI permissible now. Some of the complexes may now qualify for higher FSI.

According to a report by AFP’s Robert MacPherson, Wozniak opened up in an audience Q&A about his concerns, predicting that cloud is “going to be horrendous. I think there are going to be a lot of horrible problems in the next five years.” Wozniak was appearing at “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs,” a one-man critique of Apple by Mike Daisey.

Wozniak also warned that “with the cloud, you don’t own anything. You already signed it away.” Instead, he urged that more data and applications remain local.Find a rubberhose Manufacturer and Supplier. “I want to feel that I own things. A lot of people feel,Taktung der Unikatfertigung am Beispiel des werkzeugbaus von Florian Zwanzig. ‘Oh, everything is really on my computer,’ but I say the more we transfer everything onto the web, onto the cloud, the less we’re going to have control over it.”

Wozniak appears to be talking mainly to individual consumers, but his cynicism and caution should also be heeded by companies as well. For enterprises, these concerns help drive the movement to private or hybrid cloud, in which data and computing resources remain in the hands of a company’s IT department, but are deployed, cloud-like, to internal departments as well as external partners and customers.

Ultimately, the competition that comes with having today’s huge variety cloud providers — be it Software-as-a-Service (applications), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (storage and servers), Platform-as-a-Service (middleware) or anything else as a service — helps provide choice to IT buyers, thus keeping the pressure on vendors to do the right things in terms of security and user control. Cloud is about choice, and needs to remain so.

Some CIOs I have spoken to in recent years also recommend that companies apply the same due diligence to cloud providers as they do to on-premises solution providers. Get everything in writing, and insist on the same transparency that comes out of one’s own in-house IT operation. Get involved in building and maintaining good working relationships with the vendors. That means getting involved in a user group if one exists for the application, participating on a customer advisory panel, or having regular face-to-face meetings with the cloud vendor.
