State will offer incentives to industries and entrepreneurs who provide maximum number of jobs
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that the Karnataka Government will come out with a new employment policy for providing incentives to industries and entrepreneurs who provide the maximum number of jobs. Karnataka would also formulate an R&D policy to promote research and development across all sectors of the economy.
After inaugurating a workshop on ‘Udyami Aagu, Udyoga Needu’ (Be an entrepreneur, become an employer) and Kaigarika (industrial) Adalat at the Palace Grounds in Bengaluru on October 11, the Chief Minister said, “The need of the hour is to provide jobs. Whoever gives more jobs, maximum incentives will be given to them under the (proposed) new employment policy.”

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.
