Union Minister Kumaraswamy directs officials to develop Mandya district using Central Government schemes, emphasizing efficient fund utilization and new programs.
Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H. D. Kumaraswamy has directed officials to devise a plan for development of Mandya district from the Central Government schemes.
During first visit to Mandya on June 15 after becoming a Minister in the Union Cabinet, Mr. Kumaraswamy held a road show, which was accorded a rousing reception by his supporters. Later, he inaugurated the MP’s office and proceeded to the Deputy Commissioner’s office and held a meeting with the officials.
He informed the officials that there were several Central Government programmes and the officials should come up with a plan for the development of the district by making use of the schemes.
Calling upon the officials to make use of funds released by the Government in an optimum and transparent manner, Mr. Kumaraswamy regretted that he had observed under-utilisation of Government funds in Mandya district when he was the Chief Minister.
The Union Minister also pointed out that farmers comprised a large population in Mandya district. “The district was blessed with a lot of natural resources and there was scope for more development of Mandya,” he said.
He also asked the officials to devise new programmes such as starting model schools, colleges, hospitals and sports stadia through either Central Government schemes or even Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds.
Deputy Commissioner of Mandya, Kumara, who was also present at the meeting, informed the MP that the district administration had prepared a project to prevent accidents on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway and sent the same to the Centre. Also, three projects had been submitted by Mandya District Co-operative Milk Producers Society’s Union Limited (ManMul) to the Centre under the National Programme for Dairy Development.
