കണ്ണൂർ മട്ടനൂർ ഇന്റർനേഷനൽ ഏയർപ്പോർട്ട് (KIAL)

ഇത് കേരളത്തിലെ നാലാമനാണ്. അഞ്ചാമൻ ആറന്മുളയാവാൻ സാദ്ധ്യതയുണ്ട്.

കണ്ണൂർ വിമാനത്താവളത്തിന്റെ നിർമ്മാണം ലാർസൻ ആന്റ് ട്യൂബ്രോ എന്ന കമ്പനിക്ക് കൊടുക്കാൻ ഈയ്യിടെ തീരുമാനിച്ചു. (Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has been awarded the engineering, procurement, construction (ഇ പി സി) contract for Kannur airport.)

'എല്ലെൻടി' കമ്പനിയാണു New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore എന്നീ വിമാനത്താവളങ്ങൾ നിർമ്മിച്ചത്.

The KIAL board had cleared the detailed project report prepared by AECOM Asia. A consortium led by the Hong Kong-based AECOM Asia Pvt. Ltd., and comprising AECOM India Pvt. Ltd. and CRISIL, was the project consultant.

The EPC for the airside included earthwork, and works on the runway, taxiway, apron, and ground lighting. Associated infrastructure such as perimeter wall and operational wall would come under the EPC.

The work on EPC II to ensure that the first flight takes off from the airport in December 2015 is also in full swing. The request for qualification (RFQ) for the EPC II will be floated in January next and the aim was to award the work by April 2014, sources said.The integrated terminal building, air traffic control tower, administrative and technical blocks, and facilities in the buildings such as aerobridges, escalators, elevators, and counters would be included in EPC II. Environment clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests for the project was received in July this year and the 800 hectares needed had been notified. The KIAL was in possession of 511.2 hectares of land and the remaining was to be handed over soon.

Official sources said all mandatory clearances including that from the local municipality and the panchayat had been received for the project.

The airport was coming up in the Keezhallur grama panchayat and the Mattannur municipality at an estimated cost of Rs.1,542 crore on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis. It will be set up on a build, own, operate (BOO) model.

If all goes well the airport is expected to commission by December 2015. But inaugaurated finally 9th Dec 2018 with 15 flights on the same day.

ഡിജിറ്റൽ ഇൻഷൂറൻസ് അക്കൗണ്ട്

എല്ലാ വിധ ഇൻഷൂറൻസ് പോളിസികളും പേപ്പറിന്റെ ആവശ്യമില്ലാതെ ഡിജിറ്റലായി സൗജന്യമായി  സൂക്ഷിക്കാൻ ഒരിടം. "ഇ- ഇൻഷൂറൻസ് അക്കൗണ്ട്" ആരംഭിക്കാനുള്ള അനുമതി നൽകിക്കഴിഞ്ഞു. Insurance Repository is a new concept not only in India but across the world. India is the pioneer in  Electronic Record Keeping of Insurance Policies.

The Insurance regulator, IRDA, has licensed "Insurance Repository (IR)" to offer e Insurance Account (eIA),  a facility to help policy holders buy, hold and maintain insurance policies in electronic form,  rather than as a paper document.

With an eIA, the policy holder can buy and keep all insurance policies in electronic mode - initially for  life policies and soon for pension, health and general policies - issued by various Insurers under this single  account. An individual can have only one eIA. If you already have insurance policies, you can open an  eIA as the first step and submit a request to convert your paper policies to electronic. If you do not have  insurance policy, it‘'s best to open an eIA and quote your eIA number whenever you buy a policy. It does  not cost you anything to open and maintain an eIA account.

ഈ സർവീസ്  നടത്തുന്ന ഒരു കമ്പനിയാണ്  CAMSRep ( a group company of CAMS, ). ഇതുകൊണ്ടുള്ള പ്രയോജനങ്ങൾ എന്തൊക്കെ?

Safety: Your electronic policies remain safe and secure with the Repository, eliminating the risk of loss or damage of a policy as may happen with paper policies.

Convenience: Details of all your policies are available in a single account and this can be accessed at any time online. Renewal Premium payment for all the policies in your eIA and service requests can be done online.

Single Point of Service: Repository can be your single point of service for your service needs across all your policies in your eIA account. No more running around with different Insurance companies or agents.

Less Paper work: You do not have to repeat KYC when you buy new policies if you have an e IA. Any change to your contact details can be done with all the Insurers through a single request to the Repository. 

കുറിപ്പ്: പൊതു വിവരത്തിനു വേണ്ടി മാത്രമായിട്ടാണ് ഈ ലേഖനം ഇവിടെ പ്രസിദ്ധീകരിച്ചിട്ടുള്ളത്. അക്കൗണ്ട്  തുടങ്ങുന്നതിനു മുൻപ്  സ്വന്തം ധന  വിധഗ്ദന്മാരുടെ അഭിപ്രായം തേടി തീരുമാനിക്കുക.
