One of the biggest hurdles in the process of project management in our country is its systematised monitoring, which can actually be powered by software programs and provide better transparency, data and feedback.

Analysis: Strategies, opportunities and challenges in MA 2020
Everyone is excited, as the government has brought forth an implementable plan of action for the first time. Now to frame regulations and policies around it.
Expertspeak: New plan needed to achieve Agenda goals
Tuticorin port recently beat its own record, handling 24,550 mt of pet coke in a single day, but we will need many more record-breakers if we have to achieve the Agenda goals.
Expertspeak: Integration and differentiation needed
Did the MA 2020 miss the proverbial bull’s eye, or is there an explanation beyond bureaucratic and ministerial walls to the fact that there is still no serious mention of connectivity and integration of interests, and of treating shipping and ports differently?
Ports and the state go together
You can see Kerala’s maritime initiatives brewing: In September last year, the cabinet approved a Maritime Board for the state, PPP bids are on, and the stage is now set for the state to see the projects through and to consolidate.
The Gamechanger
After a 20-year wait, the brand new ICTT at Vallarpadam is all set to be Kerala maritime’s best brand ambassador yet, further transforming the maritime and logistics landscape of the region. Shashidhar Nanjundaiah writes from Vallarpadam.
On an infrastructural upswing
The state government states that the growth rate of the state has been growing close to nine per cent, and very soon Kerala will become the fastest growing state in the country.
Export zones: Need new forms of partnership
With 18 industrial parks, Kinfra still believes that Kerala’s best strengths are not fully harnessed. S Ramnath says that facilitation, rather than incentivisation, will be the strategy to attract investment in the export zones.
Expertspeak: The case of the missing treasure map
Has the map gone missing? The targets that the MA 2020 has set are aggressive, but a sense of realism does not set in when a commendable effort to define the 'what' is not followed by a systematic 'how-to'.
