Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is defined as "a specifically delineated duty free enclave and shall be deemed to be foreign territory for the purposes of trade operations and duties and tariffs." SEZs are an acknowledgement of the potential of export-led development strategy in accelerating economic growth.

The Indian SEZ policy provides for the development of these zones in the government, private or joint sector. This offers equal opportunity to both Indian and international private developers. Units may be set up in SEZ for manufacturing of goods and rendering of services. The units in the zone have to be net foreign exchange earners but they shall not be subjected to any pre-determined value-addition or minimum export performance requirements.

Kerala was the first State in India to set up a Special Economic Zone. The Cochin Special Economic Zone is followed by several others, which are at various stages of completion and offer investment opportunities for infrastructure developers.

According to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India, there are 7 operational SEZs in Kerala.

After the SEZ Rules 2006 came into force; formal approvals were granted to 28 more SEZs in the State.

Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary in Wayanad

It takes a mighty effort to gain access to the place, but once you succeed you find it is worth the trouble. To reach the Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary and Garden, you have to travel a cou ple of kilometres along an unpaved road slithering up another of those jungles in the hilly Wayanad belt. And the moment you enter the Gurukula off Periya, you experience an added tranquillity of nature. There are evergreen forests on all sides.
You can see numerous types of butterflies and birds, like the winged parakeet and Mountain Imperial Pigeon. There is the Nilgiri Langur, the sambar deer and the stripenecked mongoose.
And, now the interesting bit: one man looks after this oasis. He is a German. Wolfgang Theuerkauf came here 40 years ago, fell in love with the place and stayed on. "During my travels to different parts of the world, I came to India and ended up in the Western Ghats," says Theuerkauf. It was in 1981 that he bought a patch of land and started the Gurukula. "As this area was surrounded by forest, no one was willing to look after it," he says. "I decided to do so."
And Theuerkauf felt at home here. "The climate here is fine and it is calm and peaceful," he says. Initially, he had difficulties communicating with the locals, but he managed with sign language. "As for funds, my family in Germany helped me," says Theuerkauf.
"We also received donations from some organisations." But today, the sale of coffee, tapioca and spices has added to the income.
About 10 acres of the 55-acre sanctuary is a garden and nursery, while the rest is restored forest land, fields and grazing areas.
In fact, the Gurukula is home to nearly 2,000 species of plants from the Western Ghats, and is rich in fauna and flora. But there is a hint of danger too. There are more than 20 varieties of snakes, of which seven are very poisonous.
The Gurukula practises organic farming, animal husbandry, and alternate energy mechanisms. They have a programme called `School in the Forest' where schoolchildren and adults live and work in the sanctuary. A five-month-long programme costs Rs 50,000, which includes food, accommodation, instruction and travel. In 1981, Theuerkauf received Indian nationality and married a Malayali, Leelama, from Periya. They have a son, Santheeya and a daughter, Anna. Santheeya helps his parents in the garden and Anna is doing her masters in psychology in Bangalore. Suprabha Seshan, a Tamilian, has been assisting Theuerkauf for the past 16 years. Now, as director of the sanctuary, Suprabha gives classes on the conservation of forests.
"Today, nature has become a commodity to be used and exploited," says Theuerkauf.
"Commercialisation and consumerism have brought the fragile eco system to the verge of extinction. In an industrialised city or a developed country, you may get all the luxuries, but no peace of mind or physical wellbeing. I always prefer places like this."
"A few years ago, there were no discussions about conserving nature or preserving biodiversity. But now for our very survival it is necessary , as you can understand even from Kerala's changing climate," he says.
Theuerkauf says that nature is under tre mendous pressure. "Every plant and living organism is important," he says. "Our aim is to conserve and preserve disappearing species of flora and fauna. We also grow common plants, which are seen everywhere, to make people aware that these are what they neglect." Theuerkauf also breeds fishes. "I want to preserve and show people different species of fish," he says.
His work has received international recognition. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature has named Gurukula as one of the 25 centres of biodiversity in the world. In 2006, he won the Whitley Award, the biggest environment honour in Britain, for the most effective conservation effort across the world.
So, a German from the cold climes of Europe living in India is doing his best to preserve eco systems in one rugged southwestern corner of this vast tropical country.

Airport in Wayanad & Wayanad Package

Kinfra to work on Wayanad airport project
Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (Kinfra) has been directed to conduct a techno-economic feasibility study on the proposed airport project for the backward Wayanad district in north Kerala.Earlier, a technical feasibility report prepared by Airport Authority of India had identified a suitable plot at Panamaram area in Kaniampatta village in the district, an official spokesman said here.

Wayanad Package*Outlay Rs.2500 lakh


Wayanad is a distress district in the state and is the most backward district. In spite of various schemes implemented in the district, the basic problems are hindering the development of the district.

The agrarian economy of the district has been under distress in recent years. Wide fluctuation in prices has brought in high degree of instability in farm incomes. The State and Central Government have come out with intervention packages for the revival of the livelihood of the affected population. Wayanad suffered some economic and environmental shocks mainly from the sharp fall in the prices of pepper and coffee and a long period of unsustainable land use practices. The recent crisis of ginger due to price and disease problem further aggravated the crisis. The low prices of banana added another dimension to the crisis. Pepper is already in the declining phase due to the incidence of pests and diseases, loss of erythrina standards due to insect attack as well as declining productivity.

In order to revive the agrarian economy of the district, it is proposed to implement a cafeteria of focused intervention, with appropriate backward and forward integration.

The component wise break up is shown below.

13 Awareness programme 10


An amount of Rs.150 lakh set apart for the production of planting materials and organic inputs which will be provided to RARS, Ambalawayal and KVK to support the activities under the package. Out of Rs.700 lakh set apart for pepper rehabilitation, Rs. 30 lakh will be provided to KAU for the support of the sugandhi project. A project implementation unit will be set up in the district for the coordination of the project. The implementation unit will support PAO and District collector. The outlay of Rs. 50 lakh will be utilized to hire two senior experts in Agriculture, 10 VHSE trained people for field work, and two post graduates to support the unit. An amount of Rs. 20 lakh is set apart for implementing the village resource centre project focusing on livelihood security & counselling. The five existing village resource centres will be managed by MSSRF in association with the District administration. The functioning of the village resource centres will be restructured to suit the implementation of the package. The amount of Rs. 20 lakh will be provided to MSSRF for the management of the five centres. A committee under the PAO will oversee the functioning of the VRCs. All the farmers will be provided with Kissan credit card and soil health cards. An amount of Rs. 100 lakh is set apart for VFPCK for vegetable development and marketing.

An amount of Rs.200 lakh is set apart for establishing credit revolving fund for JLG groups to operate with co-operative banks for hassle free credit at 4 percent interest rate. The revolving fund will be managed in the VFPCK model by the co-operative. Separate rules will be evolved for the purpose.

In order to support the doorstep service delivery of farmers, four mobile clinics will be set up in the district with audiovisual equipments, technical materials, extension materials, technical equipments for diagnosis of pests and diseases. Diagnostic kits will be purchased for the clinics. Scheduled field visits will be arranged to reach the different panchayats of the district. KAU, IISR, Coffee Board, MSSRF and other institutions will be involved in the project.

An amount of Rs. 100 lakh is set apart for the projects implemented by the district level consortium and voluntary sector to support the project.

An amount of Rs. 25 lakh is set apart for entrepreneurship development programmes proposed for implementation through the Rudseti established by the State Bank of Travancore in Wayanad district. A training centre will be established by the department of agriculture for which Rs. 15 lakh is set apart separately.

The new extension project on LEADS will also be extended to Wayanad district to support the transfer of technology.

An integrated project will be prepared for approval. The ongoing projects supported under BRGF multisectoral development planning, JBIC, NREGS and other schemes will be considered, while integrating the project components. The Panchayati Raj institutions will be involved fully in the implementation of the package. Different technical support groups will be constituted to support the implementation of the package. The farmer clubs, samithies as well as other organized farmer groups will be involved in the implementation of the package. An academic institution will be involved for the monitoring of the package for which an amount of Rs. 5 lakh is set apart out of Rs. 50 lakh set apart for the project implementation unit. A special officer will be designated for the implementation of the package to provide support to the PAO and District Collector.
