Hubballi will see industrial growth under 'Beyond Bengaluru' scheme: DCM Ashwath Narayan
Hubballi, Jul 12: Hubballi and its surrounding areas will see further industrial development due to the state government's 'Beyond Bengaluru' initiative, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan said on Monday.
Speaking to reporters here, Narayan, who holds the IT-BT portfolio, said several industries have already been set up in the region under the government's ESDM (Electronic System Designing and Manufacturing) policy.
Talking about 'Beyond Bengaluru', he said the initiative focuses on industrial development of regions outside Bengaluru.
He was optimistic that the Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM) will facilitate investment for the enterprises which support the digital economy.
He said Artificial Intelligence will be used in a big way in technological development.
Though the Hubballi region has not been left behind with regard to industrial development and employment generation, there will be some bottlenecks depending on the varied market situations, the DCM said.
Narayan said prominent institutions located in the region, including Infosys, Deshpande Foundation and IIT, will certainly influence the industrial ecosystem of the region in a larger way.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
