Dear friends,
Following is the comment posted by Mr Ashok. This seemed to be a well thought out comment. CC considers it is worth ponder over it.
Thank You.
I am new to this blog. I grately appreciate the efforts of the blog author for his love towards Chintamani.
I have few suggestions to make regarding Chintamani town development.
1)This town desperately needs a ring road to divert the bus/truck traffic in entering the city
2)Quality of the new roads are pathetic. These news roads hardly lasts for one full year.
3)People of Chintamani deserves good Engineering and Medical college facilities.
4)They need to develop a Industrial township for Manufacturing and IT companies, taking advantage of the close proximity of Chintamani to Bangalore International Airport. They can also improvise the existing industrial estate on bangalore road.
5)Huge water storage damns/tanks should be built at the four corners of Chintamani town, to store rain water, similar to the one at Kailasagiri road.
6)We should develop tourism spots with modern facilities for the travellers, for example, Kaivara (temple tourism), Ambajidurga Hills (Trekking/Adventure Sports), Murugamalla Darga (Religious Tourism), Grape farms/Rose flower farms (Eco-tourism).
Having said all the above, Chintamani is a very scenic beautiful hill town. But the Chintamani town planners lack a long-term vision for this beautiful town.
If someone from this blog has contacts with Chintamani politicians, please raise these issues with them.
Chintamani is close to bangalore, but Chintamani doesn't even have a modern super-speciality hospital. Look at the neighbouring town, Madanapalle in AP. Madanaplle got good engineering colleges, medical hospitals etc. You might be wondering why this town has been a sleepy town for so long, because there is no master plan for chintamani to develop this town into commerical business center.
Chintamani is a major junction for all the major towns in around Bangalore and neighbouring Andhra. Atleast they started now to renovate the KSRTC bus station in Chintamani. They should run more KSRTC services from Chintamani. For example Chintamani to Bangalore route is dominated by private bus operators, this private bus service takes more time and overdose you with those crappy movies and loud music. Why can't they have non-stop KSRTC services from Chintamani to Bangalore/Hoskote, let them start one, and they will find out the demand. KSRTC should also provide more bus services from Chintamani to Tirupati, lot of people from in and around Chintamani go to madanapalle to visit tirupati.
Some of the above issues are very minor, and they can be rectified with minimum effor by our politicians. But our politicians doesn't have a vision to develop new roads, build new colleges, create new industrial townships, and store rain water.
I am always surprised to see that a beautiful town like Chintamani so close to bangalore/devanahalli without proper health/water/road/employment infrastructure.
People of Chintamani cannot survive forever depending on agricultural economy and they need to create new economies for the fture generations.
This is my analysis about Chintamani, please take my suggestions in a positive constructive way.

Dear Ashok,
Thank you for your feedback and surely the readers too will agree with your progressive thoughts.
CC hereby requests you to write articles for CC, anything related to Chintamani. Mail ID guroonath@gmail.com.
Hope you'll consider the request.
I hereby would like to express my feelings on what Mr Ashok has written:
Dear Mr Ashok, i totally agree with all what you have so far opined on.
Yes to a matter of fact we all have been talking about the same issues throughout ages say for 20 years. The development of town or a village whatever is, depends on many factors.
Of course today we can boast of a big stadium, court complex, city corporation, govt college, high school, high school and college for girls etc all being in one central part of the town speaks volumes about a great person behind the scene. Late Mr Anjaneya Reddy, our beloved Ex-MLA of Chintamani hope you know about the significance of what i really mean to. When all these things are in the centre of a town which no town has so far, as far as my knowledge is concerned, is a fruit of visionary thinking of his greatself and by saying this i would mean all the political leaders should have a vision for Chintamani, that Chintamani should be so and so forth so that they and their offspring or future generation would be on par with the other parts of world. I think i have expressed my opinion regarding the political commitment towards having a vision for growth and development.
Having said that it is really not enough. the development of the town or society depends upon the attitude of the people also. Development is replica of a civilised society.
It means the people should have an attitude to "accept and change if neccessary". Focussing on aspect of economy they should be willing to bring a change in the economy of the town. Like you say there are multispecialty hospitals, etc in Madanapalli, these things can only be possible with entrepreneurship attitude of people. I hope you understand what my point is. Chintamani is a rich town where as money is only with limited people who do not want to be enterprising, and are happy with the current state of Chintamani. Then how will business improve without enterprising attitude of people or whatever.
I would actually say Chintamani by this time should have had at least some factories wherein about 2000 people are working,. This has not been possible, i feel, because maybe none of the following political leaders had a vision to make it happen nor the people have the attitude of enterprising nature, nor the voters who vote for them have felt a feeling that their leaders should provide employment for them.
This is just an example. there are so many other things also. it is a very huge complicated matter i feel.
Whatsoever it is, i have just expressed my pain and feeling regarding the progress of my hometown.
Thank you and regards
Wishing all the best for Chintamani
