BTS should focus on turbulence-hit agriculture sector: Vice President
The Hindu
M. Venkaiah Naidu says, ‘Innovations should be for the happiness of people of all sections’
Communities who depend on the agriculture sector are going through turbulent times due to market disruptions and climatic changes, and therefore tech expositions like Bengaluru Technology Summit (BTS) should focus on innovations to solve the woes of these people, said Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu in Bengaluru on November 17.
“I would like this summit to focus more on agriculture, which is the basic culture of our country and also across the globe. So, you must come out with scientific ideas and tech innovations, which will bring happiness and changes in the lives of people of all sections,” he said at the inaugural session of BTS 2021, the annual tech event.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
