Stating that work on a new airport will soon be completed to extend flight services to the people of Raichur to ensure better connectivity, the Minister said that the district has the potential for the establishment of industries as it has two major rivers, the Tungabhadra and the Krishna, and good rail and road connectivity to major cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Hubballi and others.

He also appealed to young entrepreneurs to come forward to set up industries there.

Deputy Commissioner Nitish K. said that the district administration has made all arrangements to provide free training for entrepreneurs to get Start-up India information.
