CM announces measures to fill up 20,000 vacancies through direct recruitment
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai announced on Thursday that the Kalyana Karnataka Regional Development Board (KKRDB) will be constituted within 10 days.
Participating in a debate on issues related to the development of Kalyana Karnataka region, Mr. Bommai said the government would take measures to fill about 20,000 vacancies through direct recruitment. He also announced that the ban on new recruitments by government departments would be lifted in the region.
He was responding to the concern expressed by members in the Legislative Assembly that reservation in recruitment provided to the region under Article 371(J) was being deprived due to recruitment ban as part of austerity measures on account of COVID-19.

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.
