Commission must be formed for development of N.Karnataka: Datta
'Alvas Nudisiri' Akhanda Karnataka Special lecture
Mangaluru: Funds getting released for the North Karnataka districts is at a very low level, as the funds in the state budget are not being distributed equally. There is a need to form a new commission for the development of the North Karnataka, opined YSV Datta.
He delivered a special lecture on Akhand Karnataka during Alvas Nudisiri in a seminar held at the Ratnakar Vedike in St. Shishunal Shareef Hall in Moodabidri.
If three hoblis of south Karnataka are joined, it will be equal to one hobli of North Karnataka. Consequently, North Karnataka is becoming a mirage during the budget allocation. The need to review this has become most significant that ever. Money should be adequately distributed to build Akhand Karnataka, he said.
North Karnataka has been cheated in wealth distribution. Deposits in the nationalized banks in the districts of North Karnataka are at the highest level. Belagavi has Rs. 13,350 crore, Dharwad Rs. 10,919 crore, Ballary Rs 7,280 crore, Uttar Kannada Rs. 6,200 crore, Gulbarga Rs. 5,444 crore, Bagalkot Rs. 4,265 crore, Raichur Rs. 3,229 crore, Haveri Rs. 2,300 crore, Bidar Rs. 2,000 crore, and Gadag has Rs. 2081 crore deposit. The cash flow of North Karnataka, except Vijayapura, Haveri, Koppal and Yadgir districts, is higher than the average cash flow of the state. While the 21.2 is of the state, it is 40 of the North Karnataka. Even after this, priority was not given for the North Karnataka in the budget, he said.
Alva's Nudisiri president Dr. Mallika S. Ghanti, Alva's Foundation Chairman Mohan Alva and others were present.
