Dipika lost to defending champion Nicol David; Joshna lost to Sivasangari Subramaniam

India’s top squash player Dipika Pallikal Karthik on Saturday, settled for a bronze medal, her second at the Asian Games, after losing her semifinal match to Malaysia’s Nicole David, one of the most formidable players the game has seen.

Later in the day, Joshna Chinappa failed to match up to the level of her 19-year-old opponent, Malaysian Sivasangari Subramaniam, losing 1-3 (10-12 6-11 11-9 7-11).

Both the losing semifinalists win a bronze and there is no bronze-medal play-off.

Saurav Ghosal is the lone Indian squash player remaining in the fray and will take on Hong Kong China’s Au Chun Ming in the men’s singles semifinals later in the day.

Dipika led 5-2 and 4-1 in the first two games but three-time defending champion Nicol had enough experience to race away with a 11-7 11-9 11-6 win in the semifinal.

Dipika, who had won a bronze at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, said playing against former world number one Nicol, currently ranked ninth, was not easy.

“She is experienced and knows how to handle every situation, thrown at her. She was world number one for 10 years for a reason. I am happy I played well. It’s unfortunate that I was in top-half to play with Nicol,” she said.

To focus on team event

The 26-year-old Dipika said she had to forget the defeat and get focused on the winning the gold in women’s team event.

“We have a gold to achieve in team event. you can’t think much about what has happened in the singles. It’s hard to regroup and comeback but we have to do it. We don’t want to celebrate as yet, we have a bigger target to achieve,” she said.

The Indian women’s team had won a silver in Incheon.

Asked if a few calls which went against her perturbed her, Dipika said, “We are used to it. It’s part and parcel of the game. She has been playing Asian Games for a long time, she is very experienced. I think you have take positives out of it. I am only 26, I have few more Asian Games to go. Hopefully I welcome back strong.”

Nicol is 35 years old and still going strong. Dipika said it’s Nicol’s time and she will have to wait for her time.

“Squash is about how fit you are, how much you enjoy the game. We can see she really enjoys the game. This is only my third Asian Games. Let the older one win here and we will comeback after four years and win.”

The Indian squash players have trained without a regular coach for some time.

The SRFI had sent Cyrus Poncha and Bhuvneshwari Kumari as coaches with the contingent but Dipika said the players prefer helping each other.

“All of us like to be coached by the players. Only the player will talk to the players, it works like that for us. It’s a silent decision taken by the players. Harry (Harinderpal Sandhu), Saurav (Ghosal), we are all training together.

Karnataka floods: An exclusive look at how drone technology helped rescue efforts in Kodagu

August 26, 2018Green Initiatives / Environment, Nature, Records, All, Science & Technology, World Opinionadmin

Far beyond social-friendly drone footage, here’s a noble use of drones by an Indian company during flood rescue.

As the state of Kerala is observing its popular festival of Onam, the restrained celebration is a testament to the recent deluge witnessed by the state over the past week. Rehabilitation, rather than celebration, seems to be top priority of the people of Kerala. After a heartbreaking loss of over 300 lives, the state has come to a halt. But while, most of the world’s attention has been targeted at Kerala, the situation was equally grave in the neighboring state of Karnataka. The district of Kodagu, earlier known as Coorg, has been at the receiving end of heavy rains and resulting floods as well.
____________________________________

Highlights

August witnessed heavy rainfall in the Kodagu district of Karnataka, as well as Kerala

Although Kerala suffered loss of over 300 lives, the situation in Karnataka was equally sombre

A Mumbai-based company that works with DRDO coordinated surveillance efforts with its indigenous drones
____________________________________

The relief operation

The crisis began immediately after Independence Day. On the 17th and 18th August, ideaForge reached out to the Governments of Kerala and Karnataka, respectively. The company had already begun internal efforts on August 16 to prepare for operations when needed

Since the situation in Kerala was worsening, the machinery was focussing on getting the defense forces active. Immediate need from Kerala was surveillance and supply drops. Typically in such disaster relief missions, surveillance refers to identifying and locating people stranded in inaccessible areas. Similarly, supply drops refer to airdropping medicines, food packets and other critical needs over inaccessible areas. For the mission, the company identified two of its products – Netra Pro and Q series.

Transporting drone batteries is a critical component of the whole operation. Since civil aviation rules do not currently allow transporting drone batteries, the company requested the two governments to allow transporting them through the military sorties that were being carried out from Mumbai.

The team reached Kodagu the next day on August 20. The team had received a request from the Kodagu district collector for drone surveillance to identify people stranded in remote places. The company sourced the relevant products, carried out necessary testing procedures and safety checks before embarking on the surveillance and airdrop mission.

Meanwhile, the District Collector in Madikeri needed help with post damage assessment. The team reached Coorg on Monday, and sought permissions to fly. The team did a recce while on standby. After receiving permissions, they carried out their first surveillance and mapping operation on Wednesday, August 22. The Q Series and Netra Pro drones were used for this purpose.

In less than a day, the report was submitted to the District Collector. Currently, the Karnataka State Police Department, Commissioner’s Office, National Highway Authority of India, Tribal Welfare Department and the local PWD are collectively using the images for rebuilding and rehabilitation operations. Over Friday, August 24 and as of writing this report, drones are carrying out operations in the deeper tribal areas to survey and rescue any stranded victims.

According to Ankit Mehta, co-founder of ideaForge, “Being at the forefront of UAV technology, we will do our best to leverage this tech in times of need. For us it is about saving one life or at least helping one family in whatever way to recover from this natural disaster”

There’s more to drones than toying around

ideaForge develops drones that has been used by DRDO for its unmanned aerial vehicle program. It is led by Ankit Mehta alongwith Ashish Bhat and Rahul Singh who are alumnis of IIT Bombay. As students, they were part of the Innovation Cell at IIT Bombay, and took a special interest in foraging broken down bikes and scooters to create a hovercraft. The idea back then was to fly over the Powai lake situated near the IIT Bombay campus. After a couple of failures, and some significant mishaps that included connection cables getting chopped by the propeller, they finally managed to get a working prototype up and running.

Mehta is glad he didn’t cease his efforts there. After the initial disappointments, they got an opportunity to build a data loggers for UAVs from the Department of Aerospace at IIT Bombay. One thing led to the other, and the initial idea of flying over Powai lake gave birth to the company ideaForge, which was created at the Innovation Hub of IIT Bombay. Years later, ideaForge built and handed over the world’s smallest and lightest autopilot to DRDO. After an agreement was signed with the DRDO, ideaForge has worked with DRDO and NDRF for collaborating in rescue efforts during natural calamities. During the 2015 earthquake that rocked Nepal, drones made by the company aided with rescue efforts, relaying critical geographical and infrastructure status reports and information to the rescue team to plan out operations.

Far beyond viral video footage, we’re used to seeing on Facebook and YouTube, this is one novel use of drones that has resulted in saving critical human lives. The relaying of valuable information despite ground level challenges has been invaluable. The company has also mentioned its channel partner Arista Risk and Corporate Solutions in enabling necessary connections with government bodies and law enforcement authorities to seek necessary permissions.

‘Re-seeding’ Kerala and Kodagu

NGO to donate indigenous vegetable seeds to farmers to ‘bring back diversity lost in the floods’

After the deluge, it is time to pick up the pieces. For many who are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood, it is going to be a start from scratch. A not-for-profit headquartered in Bengaluru is now offering to help farmers with the first steps.

Annadana Soil and Seed Savers Network, which, among other things, conserves heritage seeds, plans to donate indigenous vegetable seeds to “bring back the diversity that has been lost in the devastating floods in Kerala and Kodagu”.

These species, said founding trustee and chairperson Sangita Sharma, were taken from the same places that they will be going back to and include ginger, turmeric, chilli, brinjal, tomato, gourds, and radish.

“Annadana has been conserving heritage seeds for 17 years. Each year, around 20,000 to 30,000 seeds are given to farmers. We participate in seed exchange and sharing sessions and we have varieties collected during our visits to Kerala. We plan to give these indigenous seeds to Kerala and connect them back with them. After these floods, there is a need to revive the diversity that has been lost,” she said.

With the full impact of the devastation yet to be known, making it difficult to know the number of farmers affected and the number of seeds required, the NGO intends to distribute the free seeds to farmers in Kerala and Kodagu through networks of farmers. It also plans to offer technical expertise as well in helping farmers regenerate their soil through its ‘empowered farmers’ who double as master trainers.

“There is total devastation right now. Crops such as rubber, coconut, teak, and timber do not have the water-holding capacity like the forest species have. Forests must remain forests. The entire ecosystem has been shaken up in the recent past. The farmers in these regions now have a lot of work. They need to find out what was coexisting there and reintroduce that. Forests will have to be revived. We want to offer our expertise and revive food species. If the soil is healthy, indigenous varieties will quickly adapt themselves,” added Ms. Sharma.

Fresh trouble brews for Kodagu coffee growers

August 26, 2018Agriculture, Business & Economy, Coffee, Kodagu (Coorg), Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, Green Initiatives / Environment, Nature, Records, Alladmin

After rains, coffee planters in Kodagu are gripped by the fear of black rot disease and berry droppings. Spices like black pepper and cardamom produced in the coffee estates have also perished, beside paddy fields being washed away.

The district, which is known for its coffee production worldwide, may have abysmally low coffee and agriculture output this year. The coffee growers, especially small planters, will be hit by the black rot disease, increase in berry droppings and fungal disease to the crop.

Naj Chengappa, a coffee planter, said, “The disease will affect both Arabica and Robusta coffee due to excess rainfall. The most striking symptoms are blackening and rotting of the leaves and tender berries.”

The growers are already worried about falling coffee prices in the past two years. The diseases following the flood will add to their sufferings. Black pepper crop, grown extensively in coffee plantations in the district, also suffers from droppings and fungal diseases. Cardamom is grown in parts of North Kodagu. The crop has suffered heavy damages due to landslides and flood. “Since there is no proper sunlight in Kodagu for almost a month now, this will cause fungal disease to coffee, black pepper and cardamom grown particularly in the North Kodagu areas like Madikeri, Napoklu, and Somwarpet,” said Naj.

According to Kaibulira Harish Appaiah, president of Kodagu Growers’ Association, the rain this year has caused 60% loss for coffee and pepper crops in the district. “Due to rain-related disease to coffee, 98.5% small growers will be affected. The crop requires at least two years to recover from rain-related diseases.” “The government has to waive the loans of farmers and come out with relief packages to compensate for the crop damages,” he said. According to sources in the Horticulture department, an estimated 47,000 hectares of arecanut plantations have been affected due to heavy rain. Arecanut is majorly grown in DK, Uttara Kannada, Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru and Shivamogga. “The rain has caused fungal diseases in arecanut crop, which will affect the output this year,” said Y S Patil, horticulture department commissioner.

Bopanna dedicates gold to Kodagu flood victims

August 26, 2018Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, Inspiration / Positive News and Features, Records, All, Sports, World Opinionadmin

Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan of India celebrate after winning the Asian Games doubles gold against Aleksandr Bublik and Denis Yevseyev of Kazakhstan. l — Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan of India celebrate after winning the Asian Games doubles gold against Aleksandr Bublik and Denis Yevseyev of Kazakhstan.

Rohan Bopanna fought a wave of emotions as the Indian flag went up to the tune of the National anthem in the background. Even as he and Divij Sharan soaked in the maiden Asian Games gold triumph, his thoughts flew to home district Kodagu, which has been ravaged by floods. The 38-year-old dedicated his medal to the flood victims.

“I am really happy we could deliver a gold for India. I think more than me winning the gold medal it is sending a big, positive message from Palembang to Coorg. Everyday I have been talking to my parents, friends, seen so many people going through such hard times.

“I dedicate this medal to them, to all those who are constantly giving support. That’s why I was flooded with emotions when the national anthem was playing,” Bopanna told DH.

Bopanna was happy the way he and Divij stuck through the tough quarterfinal and semifinal matches before prevailing over Kazakhstan’s Aleksandr Bublik and Denis Yevseyev in the final.

“The way Divij has been playing this entire year, we were confident. He is a very positive person on the court. But having said that with the format of no ad scoring and super-tie breaks you never know. We played a couple of teams which you play regularly on Challengers and a few on ATP circuit. It can always get tricky. But I am really glad that we just focused on one match, and one particular opponent,” he said.

Divij, who won his second Asian Games medal, was equally thrilled. “It was very special to win, I have never experienced something like this. I have been putting in a lot of hard work and this year has been really good for me.”

Speaking on their chemistry, the 32-year-old Delhi boy said: “Rohan and I have known each other for a long time, we have both been employed at Indian Oil and have practised quite a lot together. We came through tough matches to the final which gave us the confidence and we settled into each other’s style. In the final we played the deuce points well.”

New doubles pair?

While none would comment on the last-minute pull out of Leander Paes, the two were eager to be paired up together for Davis Cup. “If we are asked to play together then nothing like it. We will surely play whenever we get the opportunity, we have combined well and done well together. So why not? I don’t see a reason why we would not play,” Bopanna admitted.

The next stop for them is the US Open as the two rushed to the airport shortly after the victory ceremony. Until then they can bask under the gleam of a hard-earned gold.

UAE’s Kodava community tense as landslides batter Coorg

August 22, 2018Amazing Feats, Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Green Initiatives / Environment, Inspiration / Positive News and Features, Nri's / Pio's, Records, All, World Opinionadmin

Kodavas, or Coorgis, living and working in the UAE are uniting together to send relief funds and supplies to their loved ones back home.

The Kodava community in the UAE is in a state of worry and panic as incessant rains in their hometown Coorg has destroyed their homes and infrastructure. Ravaged by rain, Coorg, the rural district in Kerala’s neighbouring state Karnataka, has suffered massive landslides.

Kodavas, or Coorgis, living and working in the UAE are uniting together to send relief funds and supplies to their loved ones back home. There are approximately a little over 250 Kodava community people living in the UAE.

Known for its coffee plantations, Coorg has very rugged terrain, making rescue operations a challenge in the district. Furthermore, according to the Kodavas in the UAE, heavy rains are not uncommon in Coorg. “What has shocked us is the landslides. This has caused massive damage to property,” said Shilpa Chinnappa, a Dubai- based marketing professional.

Her home is in a town called Kakkabe, which is 32km away from the central city of Madikeri. “Another problem Coorg is facing is poor connectivity. There is no cell phone range in a vast area across the entire district of Coorg, so it is hard to connect with people, and if they are stuck, they will not be able to communicate,” said Chinnappa. In her case, her father has been charging phone with a car battery. Residents also said that loads of construction debris and muck has settled into residential houses, and cleaning it out would be a challenge.

The community of Coorgis in the UAE are small. “We’ve been connecting with the community over social media, and several individuals have been sending cash relief.”

She added: “The main challenge is getting rescue operations to Coorg. There are no places to land helicopters.”

Given the current situation, the community has requested for drones to sight if anyone needs any help.

Nithin Chand, another Kodava and civil defence employee who has been living in the UAE for a little over three years,said: “Kaveri river is on the right-side of the road near my home. Even though there is a road that separates the home and the river, due to the back flow of water, my house has been completely flooded,” he said.

“Almost all houses in this area are covered. Agriculture and everything in the area have gone for a toss. Fortunately, my parents shifted to a friend’s place.”

He added: “We are sending supplies and cash contributions because they can use the money back home. District administration has started something called the Kodava Relief Fund, and the state government is also working to repair the damage.”

Prakash Chinnappa Choundira, a Dubai-resident since 2002, said: “Since the outbreak of the floods, Coorg has received very little media attention. Small-time vernacular press has covered our plight and the Kodava Samaj in other major cities in Karnataka are working together to help.” Those interested in sending relief funds and supplies to the Kodavas in Coorg can write to volunteers on this email: teamcoorguae@gmail.com.
