BELAGAVI, December 19 – The Karnataka Legislative Assembly passed resolutions on Thursday that could potentially bolster the development of North Karnataka and improve the welfare of farmers in the region. Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister HK Patil introduced the resolutions which were passed unanimously.
One of the key resolutions requested the Central Government to expedite the establishment of an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Raichur district, a long-standing demand of Kalyana Karnataka region. The CM Siddaramaiah has been making continuous efforts towards this goal.
In addition, the assembly demanded immediate action on Phase-III of Upper Krishna Project (UKP-III), a move aimed at benefiting farmers in the region. The resolutions also requested the Central Government to relocate at least 25 major research institutions from Bengaluru-Mysuru region to North Karnataka and Kalyana Karnataka, a decision that could further stimulate the growth of these regions.
The passing of these resolutions marks a significant step by the state government towards addressing the development needs of North Karnataka and farmers’ welfare in the region.
