SITE DISCRIPTION:-
The Government of Tamil Nadu, in an effort to augment
the Tourism potential of Mamallapuram has embarked
on a unique and novel concept of developing an
Oceanarium near Mamallapuram in PPP mode. Apart
from promoting tourism, the proposed project is
envisaged to provide facilities for propagating awareness
about marine environment and biodiversity.
The Government of Tamil Nadu has announced that a
world-class Oceanarium with state of the art facility will
come up at a cost of about Rs 253 Crores at
Mamallapuram through State Fisheries Department
under PPP mode. The Public Private Partnership project
will highlight the marine tropical resources.

Project Information:-
The proposal is to establish an Oceanarium in the 15 acres
nominated site at Mahabalipuram in PPP mode. The Oceanarium
apart from its commercial and educational supremacy will have
alliances with the Universities and Marine Biology Research Centers
to undertake marine biological research projects in collaboration
with similar reputed centers around the world. Oceanarium is a
massive center for marine education and entertainment whereas
aquarium is one or few standalone tanks in display with fresh or
marine water exhibits. The meticulously created SeaWorld will have
thousands of marine species, collected from the Ocean, moving
amidst corals and reef just like they live in Ocean for all to see. The
creation will include an artificial ocean enabling people to walk
under the water through an acrylic tunnel, directly experiencing the
unique wonders available at the bottom of the ocean, without
getting wet.
The Oceanarium is a complex adventure providing visitors, of all
ages with entertainment, enjoyment and education. Each facility has
a number of entertainment and educational attractions, which
transform short visits in to memorable occasions. As this facility will
become a “MUST SEE” for all visitors and locals to the place of
establishment. This attraction mentally and visually removes the
viewing public from their everyday environment and transports
them to the bottom of the ocean. The transformation is started at
the moment of entry into the main exhibition lobby. Strategic and
suitable displays, exhibits, touch pools; Oceanarium, dangerous
creatures and marine artifacts entice the visitor through the pre-
determined route on the journey to the main Oceanarium tank of
thousands of marine animals and plants with its submerged acrylic
tunnel. The proposed SEAWORLD Complex shall incorporate a large
Oceanarium of many millions of litres of processed water
surrounding the walk - through acrylic tunnel. Within the tank a
complete marine ecosystem shall be established where the
rockwork and general layout of the tank reflects ocean conditions,
giving visitors a clear understanding of the marine environment.

 HABIBGANJ
RAILWAY STATION
PROJECT STATUS:-
REDEVELOPMENT AND PRIVATALIZATION OF INDIA’S FIRST RAILWAY
STATION, HABIBGANJ (MADHYA PRADESH), India

INTRODUCTION:-
PRIVATE RAILWAY STATIONS WERE A LOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE
RAPID GROWTH IN RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION DURING THE 19TH
CENTURY. WHEREAS FINANCIERS LOOKED TO PLACE THEIR STATIONS
SO AS TO BALANCE THE COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION WITH
EXPECTED REVENUE FROM THE NEARBY POPULACE, WEALTHY
PEOPLE UTILISED THIS NEW MODE OF TRANSPORT BY CREATING A
HALT SOLELY FOR THE USE OF THEIR FAMILY, GUESTS AND STAFF.

BEFORE PRIVATELIZATION AFTER PRIVATELIZATION

I.T.M. SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND TOWN PLANNING,LUCKNOW

AIM:-
TO PROVIDE A RAILWAY STATION ON INTERNATIONAL BASIS HAVING
ALL TYPES OF FUNCTION AND ABILITIES IN IT. IT IS DESIGNED LIKE AN
AIRPORT HAVING ALL TYPES OF MECHANICAL FASCILITIES LIKE LIFT,
ESCALLATORS, ETC

OBJECTIVE:-
AT THE PRESENT TIME THE RATE OF LAND IS INCREASES UP AND WE
SEE THAT THE AREA AROUND THE RAILWAY STATION IS WASTING. SO
AFTER PRIVATELIZATION THE ARE WHICH IS NOT USED BY THE
RAILWAY IS USED AS A MALL. MULTIPEX, SHOPS ETC.
IT ALSO BECOME THE ATTRACTION CENTRE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
LEAVE AT THAT PLACE FOR THE MARKETTING.
THE REVENUE WHICH IS GENERATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AFTER
PRIVATELIZATION IS USED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RAILWAY
STATION AND ALSO IT INCREASES THE PROFIT OF THE INDIAN
RAILWAY.

METHODOLOGY:-
IN IT ALL TYPES OF AMINITIES IS PROVIDED SUCH AS RAILWAY
STATION, SHOPS, KIOSKS, ETC. IN THE STATION PROPER ELEVATOR
LIFTS,ESCALLATORS, ETC ARE PROVIDED FOR MAKING THE PUBLIC
TRAVELLING EASY. IT IS SO HUGE THAT THE INCREASING OF THE
POPULATION CAN’T DISTURB ITS MOVEMENT AREA.
ON THE UPPER FLOOR MALLS ARE MADE BECAUSE AT THE PRESENT
TIME THE UPPER PART OF THE RAILWAY STATION IS TOTALLY WASTED.
SO FOR DECREASING THIS WASTE AND USING THAT AREA MALL AND
OTHER MARKET AREA IS MADE. IT IS DESIGNED AS AN
INTERNATIONAL LEVEL WHICH ALSO ATTRACT THE FOREIGN TOURIST
TOWARD IT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION WHICH IS TAKEN BY
OUR GOVERNMENT TO USE THE WASTE AREA.
