Heggadadevana kote

Heggadadevana kote is a taluk or taluk headquarters in Mysore district in the Indian state ofKarnatakaKakana kote forest lies in Heggadadevana kote taluk.

Demographics

As of 2001 India census, Heggadadevanakote had a population of 12,043. Males constitute 51% of the population and females 49%. Heggadadevanakote has an average literacy rate of 66%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 72%, and female literacy is 60%. In Heggadadevanakote, 12% of the population is under 6 years of age.

Agriculture

H D Kote has four reservoirs: the Kabini, Nugu, Hebbala and Taraka reservoirs. Ironically, however, agriculture in this taluk is rain-fed mainly because the government has failed to harness the capacity of the reservoirs. Barring the Kabini reservoir, the other reservoirs are always dry. As a result, farmers who could otherwise raise three crops are able to hardly raise one and are perennially in debt. This is one of the main reasons for the economic backwardness of the taluk and distress migration to cities is common.

Taraka Lift Irrigation Project

The Taraka Lift Irrigation Project was envisaged with a view to alleviating the miseries of the farmers of this taluk. The project entails pumping water 6 km from the Kabini reservoir into the Taraka reservoir; it was completed in 1983. Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited is in charge of this project and claims that 80% of the project is complete. The lift irrigation project was expected to be completed by January 2007.

The Taraka reservoir was in the news in October 2006 as one of the crest gates of the reservoirs breached leading to a major flooding of the villages downstream. This resulted in a major loss of animal life, agricultural produce and property though no human lives were lost.

Sargur

Sargur (also known as Saragur pronounced Saraguru in the Kannada language, as Kannada words end in vowels, which are lost in their Anglicization), a small town located about 80 km from the town of Chamarajanagar in the H D Kote Taluk of Mysore District of KarnatakaIndia. H D Kote (Heggadadevanakote) is about 12 km north of Sargur. It is 55 km from the city of MysoreBangalore International Airport is 200 km away. To be more elaborate, Sargur is 33.8 km from Nanjangud town (Karnataka), 35.1 km from Gundlupet town (Karnataka), 137.8 km fromUdagamandalam town (Ooty) Valley (Tamil Nadu) and 38.8 km from Hunsur town (Karnataka).

Geography

Sargur is located at latitude 11° 58' 60’N and longitude 76° 25' 0 E.[3] It has an average elevation of 686 metres (2253 ft). Suvarnavathy River, tributary of the Kabini river flows through this hamlet which provides for the irrigation needs of the villagers through the Kabini – Nugu River irrigation system. Kabini reservoir and Nugu reservoir and the Bandipur Tiger Reserve are the tourist attractions for people visiting Sargur

Geology

One of the oldest rock types of the state of Karnataka is named after Sargur. In geological terms it is called "Sargur supracrustals" or "Sargur schist" (about 3,300 to 3,000 million years old), an older formation of the two Precambrian craton formations, the other younger formation is theDharwar supracrustals (about 3,000 to 2,600 million year old).
The Sargur schist (within the Peninsular gneiss) belt in H. D. Kote taluk extends from Sargur to Mysore city for about 40 km. This belt was named as Sargur series and it may be the oldest suture zone in the Indian subcontinent. The series comprises a complex series of metasediments and basic igneous rocks. The garnets illuminate gneiss and the associated norites occurring as patches within the genesis of southern Mysore represent the remnants of the older khondalite – charnockite system.[4]

Religious importance

While the town has a number of important old Hindu shrines, it is also known for the Jain temples. Jainism has acquired a special place in the history of the region, of the Ganga, RashtrakutaChalukya and other dynasties, who have ruled Karnataka.
Shravanabelagola (Gomateswara)and other equally important places, mostly in the coastal regions endowed with a rich cultural heritage and Jain legacy are well known. Sargur, which has a large number of resident Jains, also attracts not only Jains, but people of all religions who come here not only for religious reasons but also as tourists to visit the Ananthanatha Swami Jain temple and a Chowmukha which have been recently renovated (The Panchakalyana Pratishta Mahotsav) was held in July 2005).[5][6]
Many of the Hindu temples are in a dilapidated state. In fact, the deity of Srinivasa in an old temple was shifted quite some years back to Jayanagar in Bangalore.

Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM)

SVYM, a NGO founded in 1984 by Dr. R.Balasubramaniam, has undertaken various institution-based and community based health and education projects and also several Community Development initiatives, catering to a populace of about 300,000 comprising, both tribals and non-tribals in the region. SVYM runs the Vivekananda Memorial Hospital, the Viveka School of Excellence and Viveka Tribal Center for Learning and Creation of rural infrastructure – building of low cost houses, toilets, borewells, etc., in Saragur.[7] One of the recent applications of space technology initiated by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is in the field of telemedicine to provide expert medical services to the rural and remote areas. Under the telemedicine project, hospitals/health centres in remote locations are linked via INSAT satellites with super specialty hospitals at major towns/cities, bringing in connectivity between patients at remote end with the specialist doctors for medical consultations and treatment. Telemedicine pilot projects are undertaken by ISRO with the involvement of selected super specialty hospitals located in major cities and smaller health centres in distant and rural areas. Vivekananda Memorial Hospital at Saragur has undertaken this project in cooperation with Narayana Hrudayalaya, a super specialty Hospital for heart care in Bangalore. The Karnataka Task Force on Health and the Government of Karnataka have extended cooperation and support. Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre (KSRSAC), which was established in 1989, is coordinating the telemedicine project.[8] The ‘Sanitation Park,’ a unique park of its kind in the country, has also been developed by SVYM. Located in the premises of Vivekananda Memorial Hospital, various models of toilets are on demonstration – whose construction costs are affordable – for people to choose the kind of toilet that best suits their budget. At places where there is scarcity of water, there are toilets which can suit their respective problems and are environment-friendly also. The park also gives information on the different systems of collection and distribution of waste. In organic farming, this waste is re-utilised in the form of manure and medicine.[9] The emblem of Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement symbolizes the organization in letter and spirit, reflecting its basic tenet of ‘Serving God in Man', as propounded by Swami Vivekananda.

Irrigation projects

The comprehensive Kabini Reservoir Project exists close to Sargur. The project comprises 
a) Reservoir across Kabini River near Bidarahally and Beechana villages in Heggadadevanakote Taluk, Mysore with canals on both the banks – 732 m long dam was constructed in 1974 for the twin purpose of irrigation and hydel power generation. At full reservoir level, the lake has a water spread of 6,020 ha and storage capacity of 553 million m3.
b) Reservoir across Bandigadu stream near Sagaredoddakere in Heggadadevanakote taluk with canals on both the banks,
c) Reservoir across river Nugu upstream of the existing Nugu Dam with Right Bank High Level Canal and d) Lifting arrangement for lifting 28.00 TMC of water in the 4 monsoon months from the foreshore of Kabini Dam to the combined system of Sagaredoddakere and Upper Nugu Dams. This project also provides for the irrigation needs of the villagers of Sargur town.
Nugu Reservoir, in Beerwal village in H.D.Kote Taluk, has a catchment area of 984.00 km2 with a reservoir water spread of 1410 ha. The Nugu High Level Canal provides irrigation to an area of 20,899 acres (84.58 km2).[11]

National Park

Bandipur Tiger Reserve, situated in the Mysore district of Karnataka, was among the first nine Tiger Reserves created in India at the launch of Project Tiger in 1973. It is contiguous to Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu state to south and Wynad Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala state to the south-west. To the north-west lies Nagarhole National Park. Bandipur Tiger Reserve was formed by including most of the forest area of the then Venugopala Wildlife Park and its sanctum sanctorum at Bandipur, in the year 1973 and named Bandipur National Park. All the forests included in the Reserve are reserved forests notified prior to independence. Notification for the proposed Bandipur National Park was issued in 1985. This park is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve – the first 'Biosphere Reserve' of India.
The Nugu in the centre, Moyar towards the south and the Kabini between Bandipur and Nagarahole are the rivers that feed this area perennially. Numerous natural and artificial pools are found in Bandipur. The Gopalaswamy hill (1,454.5 m), which houses the famous Venugoplaswamy temple, is one of the highest peaks and Kannegals at 680m is the lowest.
Bandipur is also known as elephant country. It is one of the few reserves that has survived and flourished.
Forest Types are dry deciduous scrub, Southern Tropical/Dry Deciduous & Southern Tropical Moist Mixed deciduous forests cover the reserve area.
Major Fauna comprises Tiger, Leopard, Elephant, Gaur, Sambar, Spotted deer, Sloth bear, Mouse deer, Wild dog, Four horned Antelope and the Endangered Species Tiger, Four horned Antelope, Gaur, Elephant, Panther, Sloth bear, Crocodiles, Mouse deer, Python, Osprey, Pea fowl.

Watching the sunset from a plateau above the town is considered a spectacular sight. As forests and the towering Western Ghats ring the town situated near the backwaters of the Kabini Reservoir, the sunset, when visible on a clear day, is considered breathtaking. One vantage point is the plateau above the town, about 5 km after the Sri Vivekananda Hospital. The other option is to go to Nugu Dam, which is about 8 km from Saragur. Both the plateau and Nugu Dam provide some awesome backdrops for sunsets.

KABINI DAM
The Kabini, also called Kabani and Kapila, is a river of southern India. It originates in Wayanad District of Kerala state, south India from the confluence of the Panamaram River and Mananthavady River, and flows eastward to join the Kaveri River at Tirumakudal Narasipur in Karnataka, which empties into the Bay of Bengal.
Close to the town of H D Kote it forms the huge Kabini Reservoir. The backwaters of the Kabini reservoir are very rich in wildlife especially in summer when the water level recedes to form rich grassy meadows.
The Kabini dam is 2,284 feet (696 m) in height with a gross storage of 19.52tmcft but has  reduced considerably due to silt accumulation. Kabini Dam is situated between villages Beechanahalli and Bidarahalli having distance of 14 km from H.D.Kote town, Mysore district.
Kabini is one of the most popular wildlife destinations of Karnataka, probably because of its easy accessibility, lush green landscape surrounding a large picturesque lake, and fantastic sightings of large herds of elephants. It is 80 km away from Mysore and 205 km from Bangalore, and comprises the south-eastern part of Nagarole National Park. Situated on the banks of River Kabini, this forest reserve is spread over 55 acres (220,000 m2) of forestland, steep valleys, and
water bodies. Once a private hunting lodge of the Maharaja of Mysore, Kabini was a popular shikar hotspot for British Viceroys and Indian royalty. Now it is considered to be one of the best wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka, famous for its spectacular wildlife and bird life.

Kms and subsequently enlarged to include the adjoining areas of Mysore district and now extends over an area of 643.39 sq. kms which was given the status of a National Park in 1983.
The park is usually closed for safaris during mating season of animals and during monsoon. Traffic movement is restricted to 6 am to 6 pm everyday and the gates are closed on either sides of entry into the forest.
The forest department houses visitors in lodges in the Murkal guest houses (approx 220 km from Bangalore) and also near the RFO office in the park itself. Safaris are organized in the Forest department vans two times a day, early morning and evening.
Regular education camps are conducted for school children and the forest department provides special concessions for tours organized for school children.
