To commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of Indian Independence, the State Government will launch a slew of special programmes in rural and urban development, health, sports, farming and social sectors, estimated to cost over ₹720 crore. Announcing 11 special programmes on Sunday at the Independence Day parade here, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who outlined the measures initiated in the State, said that prosperity of the entire Karnataka was the priority of the Government. "The growth of only Bengaluru is not enough. The Tier two cities too have to grow and the pace of growth seen in Bengaluru should resonate in district centres too. Regional imbalance should diminish. Therefore, the Government would focus on not only mega projects, but also mini projects." The 11 special programmes announced on Sunday are Amrith Gram Panchayat, Amrith Rural Housing scheme, Amrith Farmer Producer Organisations, Amrith Nirmala Nagara, Amrith Anganwadi Centres, Amrith Self Help Micro Enterprises, Amrith Community Development programme, Amrith Health Infrastructure Upgradation programme, Amrith Skill Training programme and Amrith sports adoption programme.More Related News
