Home Minister V.S. Acharya said on Saturday that more importance should be given to the tertiary sector in the district. He was speaking after releasing the Udupi District Human Development Report, 2008 here.Dr. Acharya said that the economy of the district could no longer depend on the “money orders” sent by people who had migrated to other places. It was necessary to promote sectors other than agriculture. Industrial development should be promoted taking into account environmental concerns, he said.
Deputy Commissioner P. Hemalatha said that according to the report, Udupi taluk was ahead in income, education and general development sectors, followed by Kundapur and Karkala taluks. But in the health sector, Karkala was in the forefront, followed by Kundapur and Udupi. This was surprising because there were more hospitals in Udupi taluk than in the two other two taluks, she said. Although the district as a whole was in a good position in reproductive care and child health, it had to do a lot in preventing communicable and non-communicable diseases. The infant mortality rate in the district was comparable to the rate in western countries, Ms. Hemalatha said.

Dear Dr.Acharya,
Although this comment is not about the article,i thought there are two issue i need to bring to your urgent attention:
1.The increased incidents of people taking law into their own hands in the name of various organisations,the recent one was the attack on the law minister Sri.Suresh Kumar's residence by KRV activists,i believe the attack 0n PROMOD MUTALIK by Youth Congress activist has given fillip to anto soclial elements to take law into their own hands.Need immediate steps to stop this!!The POLICE DEPARTMENT needs to educate the public(warn the rowdy elelments about the consequences of breaking the LAW.!!
2. If you remember there were two a incidents last year where children lost their lives in one of the entertainment park called SAMMY's DREAM LAND and one youth lost his life in a "BANJEE JUMPING" event in BANGALORE.I suggest you to please vist WONDERLA near KENGERI, one of the ENTERTAINMENET parks promoted by V-GAURD industries!Although i thoroughly enjoyed my day in WONDERLA,I was concerned of the saftey measures implemented by the PROMOTERS.I sincererly feel the governemnet should have a policy in terms of the safety measures to be undertaken by such entertinment parks,SINCE this involves the life of WOMEN and Children!Since the Government earns revenues in the form of ENTRETAINMENT tax,the governement should monitor the SAFTEY precautions adopted by these parks.
REGARDS
PUNEETH KUMAR
Congratulations on the recent Electoral wins!
