In an attempt to put the Kalaburagi Vision 2050 programme on track, Minister for Mines and Geology and Kalaburagi district in-charge Murugesh Nirani on Monday held a meeting in virtual mode with the Deputy Commissioner, senior officials, subject experts and former bureaucrats. As the meeting began, the Minister told the participants that Kalaburagi Vision 2050 is a programme aimed at ushering in overall development in the district for the next 30 years to ensure that the district gets rid of the backward tag and urged experts and former bureaucrats to share their ideas and views on the endeavour. Additional Chief Secretary (retd.) V. Balasubramanian, who was invited to the meeting, made several suggestions to lift the district from backwardness. He said that the government should give thrust to sericulture and other crops to help farmers boost the rural economy. He urged the Minister to send the Sericulture Department chief to Kalaburagi and assess the condition for mulberry cultivation and cocoon production.
