PM Modi inaugurates Kendriya Vidyalaya in Chikkamagaluru, fulfilling a long-pending demand, benefiting students with new infrastructure.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the building of Kendriya Vidyalaya in Chikkamagaluru on Tuesday. The school has come up with 10 acres of land at a cost of ₹27 crore.
Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Shobha Karandlaje, speaking on the occasion, said the school building in Chikkamagaluru had been a long-pending demand. “Now the school has a well-built structure. It will benefit students,” he said.
The Union Minister said the Union government had sanctioned ₹400 crore for the construction of a highway connecting Chikkamagaluru-Mudigere. Soon, the work on railway connectivity between Belur and Chikkamagaluru will begin, she said.
The Prime Minister inaugurated 220 works spread across the country virtually on the day. Mudigere MLA Nayana Motamma, Deputy Commissioner Meena Nagaraj, SP Vikram Amathe, Zilla Panchayat CEO B. Gopalakrishna and others were present at the programme.

When reporters brought to her notice the claim by villagers that the late maharaja of Mysore Sri Jayachamaraja Wadiyar had gifted the land to them, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar said she is not aware of the matter, but sought to assure people that no effort will be made to take back the land that had been gifted by the late maharaja.
