Proposed KHIR City around Bengaluru will be a GDP booster: Minister MB Patil

Exciting news for Bengaluru! The Karnataka government has made a big announcement. Get ready for the groundbreaking KHIR (Knowledge, Health, Innovation, and Research) city right here in the heart of Bengaluru.

Picture this: a mega project that’s set to reel in a whopping Rs 40,000 crores in investments across knowledge, health, innovation, and research. And that’s not all – brace yourselves for the creation of around 80,000 shiny new job opportunities. Karnataka Industries Minister MB Patil revealed this, emphasizing how this initiative will crank up the economic activity in the state.

Talking to the press, Patil shared, “Karnataka is all about that public-private partnership magic, and we’re taking it up a notch with the KHIR city. This is not just a game-changer; it’s a GDP booster for our state. We’re ready to roll out the red carpet for investments.”

According to Patil, Karnataka is the golden goose for any kind of investment. From medical research centres, bio technology to IT infrastructure, from top-notch education to cutting-edge bio-tech, Karnataka’s got it all. Patil confidently declared, “Global companies, get ready to be impressed. We’re not just aiming for investments; we’re making KHIR a model city that’ll set the bar high for the entire country.”

Now, the big question – where’s this dreamy KHIR city going to pop up? Well, that’s still up in the air, but word has it that it’s going to cozy up around Bengaluru, close enough to the international airport for that extra dash of convenience.

Karnataka’s IT Minister Priyank Kharge chimed in, hyping up the crowd. He envisions KHIR turning Bengaluru into a global hotshot. “Bengaluru’s already on the map for innovation and start-ups. But guess what? We’re not stopping there. Medical tourism’s on our radar, and we’re turning the spotlight on all sectors, not just IT and start-ups. The KHIR city is set to put us in a league of our own.”
