He describes his Delhi visit as ‘very successful’
Describing his two-day visit to Delhi as “very successful”, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday said various projects that had been discussed with Central authorities, including a special programme to provide rural connectivity, were making good progress. “I have held consultations with Union Minister of State for IT and Skill Development Rajeev Chandrasekhar in this regard. It is a concept of digitising rural areas through the use of optic fibre and cable network,” Mr. Bommai told reporters in Bengaluru on his arrival from New Delhi. The issue of rural connectivity was felt acutely during lockdown, especially with classes being held remotely and large sections of people working from home after returning to their native places, with schools and several workplaces closed.More Related News
