Bengaluru Airport City Limited (BACL) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bangalore International Airport Limited ( BIAL).

RDE Village is built on the vision of creating a retail and lifestyle destination. Set within a high energy, bustling buzzing Airport environment,  the village is expected to cater to the millennial mindset that is mindset relating to a period of a thousand years. This development is envisioned to have an open fluid environment that seamlessly links multiple zones, through interactive and sensory experiences that encourage longer dwell time and repeat  visits .

The state-of-the-art project would be strategically  located adjacent to the Concert Arena, and the Convention  & Exhibition Centre - a destination which would become a dynamic lifestyle and family entertainment hub for Bengaluru residents and visitors alike.

The project will be developed on a 23 acre land, as  high-end shopping and lifestyle destination, catering to the growing demand of this segment in Bengaluru. Connectivity to the RDE village will be augmented by the BMTC bus service and the upcoming Metro lines.

The RDE Village is built on the vision of creating a new destination with a deep connection to the community, culture and environment, focusing on human-centric design."

Stephen Walsh, the Regional Director for Portland Design said," The RDE Village will be a transformative shopping, dining, and entertainment experience for the communities it will serve in Bengaluru and beyond."

RDE Village will be distinguished through unique experiences like never before. This development will bring unforgettable, distinctive and outstanding global experiences like Las Vegas, Marina Bay Sands Singapore, Times Square New York etc. to Bengaluru.

RDE Village  is set to become THE destination for not just the city of Bengaluru, but as a place of interest for the country as well. Not only this. It seeks to make Bengaluru as a "Vibrant Capital of India", besides being known as the "Knowledge Capital of India."

Alongside mainstream Western culture, a strong indigenous culture exists through Gaelic games, Irish music, Irish language and Irish dance . The island culture shares many features with that of Great Britain including the English language, and sports such as association football, rugby, horse racing, golf and boxing . Ireland has made a large contribution to world literature. Ireland produced four winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature namely George Bernard Shaw, W. B. Yeats, Samuel Beckett, Seamus Heaney.

आखिर पश्चिम चम्पारण के थारू क्यों करने लगे हैं औषधीय पौधों की खेती ?| Tharus of West Champaran

ये जो  क्षेत्र आप देख रहे हैं वह पश्चिम चम्पारण के थारू आदिवासियों का क्षेत्र है।  मनमोहक है न ! मनभावक है न ! यह हिमालय की तलहटी में बसा है। 

थारू आदिवासी बासमती धान की खेती करते हैं, मिर्चा व  आनन्दी धान की खेती करते हैं।  ये सभी धान सुगन्धित होते हैं, देश-विदेश में प्रचलित हैं।  आनन्दी चावल का भूजा बहुत ही स्वादिष्ट होता है।  थारू जनजाति अद्भुत है थरुहट क्षेत्र भी अद्भुत। 

आपको बता दूँ बखरी बाजार के एक थारू हैं योगेन्द्र प्रसाद महतो - इनको 400 से अधिक औषधीय पौधों की जानकारी है और  ये अपनी बारी में अनेक औषधीय पौधे लगाए हुए हैं। 

अब थारू लोग औषधीय पौधों की खेती भी करने लगे हैं - पर यह परिवर्तन क्यों ? 

असल में बात ये है कि जंगल के बीच में रहनेवाले  थारुओं की फसल को सबसे अधिक नुकसान वन्यजीवों से होता है।  सुगन्धित धान की प्रजाति को नीलगाय, हिरन, भालू आदि व्यापक पैमाने पर बर्बाद कर देते हैं जिससे थारुओं की स्थिति अत्यंत दयनीय होती जा रही है। 

यही कारण है कि थारू जनजातियों का झुकाव अब औषधीय फसलों की खेती की  ओर हो रहा है।इन फसलों को जैसे लेमन ग्रास, मशरूम, मेंथा या पिपरमिंट को जंगली  जानवर क्षति नहीं पहुँचाते हैं।  साथ ही इनसे अच्छी आमदनी हो रही है - और प्रशासन भी सहयोग व प्रोत्साहन दे रहा है। 

 तो पश्चिम चम्पारण के थारू आदिवासी  जंगल के भीतर ही खेती के बेहतर विकल्प की खोज कर रहे हैं, औषधीय पौधों की खेती कर रहे हैं। 

साथ ही पर्यटकों के लिए भोजन एवं आवास की व्यवस्था करके भी थारू अर्थार्जन कर रहे हैं, आर्थिक लाभ कमा रहे हैं।
