    UNDERSTANDING: PRESENT SCENARIO

    VARANASI

    ISSUES:

    1. Lack of public awareness, participation hindering proper


    implementation of plans and maintenance of heritage properties.
    2. Exceeded carrying capacity indiscriminate disposal of solid waste; lack
    of public amenities, facilities.
    3. Degradation of rivers and ghats to sewage disposal; public neglect and
    ignorance.
    4. Unorganized informal activities.
    5. Limited accessibility by motorized means not friendly to differently
    abled; no signage.
    6. The Riverfront city proposal to be enlisted in UNESCOs Heritage List
    mixed cultural landscape- rejected due to management issues.
    Present Status of infrastructure facilities in the region to facilitate export

    Apart from Malikghat Phool Bazar there are eight flower markets in the
    adjoining districts. Presently infrastructure facilities to for export of
    floriculture viz. pack houses, cool transport, auction house., facilities for
    information dissemination and training are almost non existent. Only
    three markets at Rajarhat , Panskura and Kalighat have cool vehicles and
    only the Thakurnagar market has cold storage facilities. Despite these
    inadequacies the export figures of flowers in 2009 2010 was
    Rs 76, 11,406.
    There are few large export oriented Floriculture Projects coming up in
    West Bengal and Sikkim which are concentrated mainly in North Bengal.
    Such products are expected to be sent to Mallickghat Flower Market for
    auctioning.
    Some of the major policy initiatives taken by Department of FPI & H.
    GoWB for overall development of agro industry that will also benefit the
    floriculture are:
    Development of five AEZ in different parts of the state.
    Facilitating the private sector, joint sector, and PSU initiatives.
    Encouragement of state of art pack houses with multipurpose cold
    strange facilities for post harvest management.
