The strength of Unity never die or fail, for the first time in Belgaum all the eighteen MLA and and two MPs and our industry bigwigs have come together and forged an alliance for further proceedings of establishment of IIT Belgaum .Thanks to MLA Mr Abhay Patil who has taken the lead for this.
Like VTU though head quartered in Belgaum its center of excellence like Tool room R & D center and E learning studio is based in Mysore , Belgumites must not be discriminated any more and we should have full fledge IIT here at Belgaum. In past when Mr Mahima Patel was in H D Kumarswamys ministry at Delhi brought up the opening of International American university from USA at Belgaum but it never materialized. Hubli Dharwad got IITB Banglore branch, Gulbarga got Central University and Bangaluru have IISC, so It is Belgaum to have IIT now.
Belgaum which is an distinguished place for its industrial strata and acquired global accolades in industrial revolution from starting of Hydraulics to Coach building has got a very valid stand for ITT to be established soon here.
Most prominent personalities of City from Industries , Educational establishment came together and presented and shared information and further road map for establishment of Belgaum IIT which includes , Industrialist Mr.Sudhir Dharekar , Mr Vinay Jathar Mr Vitthal Hegde, Mr Naryan Pai Mr Vishal Hangirkar and Educationalists ,Former IIT Prof Dr Joshi Mr Kori from VTU , KLE Principal Dr S.S. Pilly GIT Principal Dr..D. H. Rao BBCI President Mr .B. Kaggangi. The meeting took place at Hotel Panhmukhi resort in Belgaum.
Support form neighboring states too poured in, Two MPs from Goa & MLAs from Maharashtra mainly Kolhapur district have come forward in their interest and support for establishment of Belgaum IIT. I wish Mr Bommi district in charge Minister for Belgaum support this as well and stand by Belgaumites and why not ? I will benefit North Karnataka also I wish all Belgaumites and people from North Karnataka would be happy on IIT Belgaums establishment soon.

Railways in Belgaum a wishes of Belgaumites
Belgaumites Railway needs. Why Blame Momtaa Diii
An unheard protest recently took place at Basavan Bagewadi station where Belgaum Miraj Passenger train was held up for half an hour. The youth here were asking for up gradation of platform and facilities at Bagewadi station and very importantly they also submitted a demand list including Belgaum Dharwad direct railway line immediately. Our District in charge Minister from Hubli Mr Bommi (Good for Nothing) visited Belgaum recently just to pass by to see whats happening on Kalsa Banduri project , because this is going to supply water to Hubli Dharwad , what is good for then being Palak Mantri.
I would wish to throw some light on whole issue
Are Belgaumites so dumb and careless that we can just go away with “Kisko kya padai hai” and “aree chalta hai chalne do”. Should we not have bigger aspiration for citys development
Even Bagalkot and Bijapur cites with least than 2 Lakhs of population have trains connecting Bangalore, and for We Belgaumites a BIG NOTHING!!!! , are we all not responsible for this NOTHING!!!
The railway budget has nothing for Belgaum this time as our urges and requirements were never carried forward in parliament thorough our elected representative.
Think !!! Some benefits of Belgaum Dharwad rail line become reality
Reduction of travel time and access to Historical sites of Kittur, bringing this place on Deccan Odyssey network.
Few trains can Originate form Belgaum towards Bangalore
Belgaum Bangalore Intercity express
Belgaum Kittur Dharwad Hubli (intercity express and passenger trains )
Belgaum Hubli Bangalore Chennai Express
Belgaum Mysore Express
Belgaum Kochiveli Express
Belgaum Gadag Express
Belgaum Solhapur
Belgaum Vijaywada
Slip Coaches for Vasco Howrah Express to Londa
Slip coaches for Hydrabad to Hubli
Slip coaches for Madgaon to connect Mandovi express to Mumbai
Slip coaches for Madgaon to connect Konkan Kanya express to Mumbai
This line should be doubled and become trunk route in Karnataka till Bangalore.
Well there are infrastructure facilities required which need immediate consideration for all the above things to happen
Marshalling yard at Sambra station for gods train
Pit lines for siding of trains at Belgaum
Fourth platform on the southern end of Belgaum giving better access to people coming
form south suburb of city
Second foot over bridge.
Well this my dream and wish though staying abroad and looking one day Belgaum could have it all soon , and sure will happen some day but We Belgaumites need to thrive for it , I request some prominent citizen of Belgaum to become Member for Rail user committee and attend meeting at SWR HQ Hubli and have our say. Meet our public representative to put forward proposals and requests which I had posted along with Uday on Belgaum Railway development

According to Murugesh Nirani, Karnataka’s minister for large and medium industries, the industrial corridors will be developed on the public-private partnership model.
Recently, the state government had invited an expression of interest from reputed consultancy firms to prepare detailed project report and advise the state government on the model to execute the new industrial corridor projects.
“Apart from these two Indian companies we have also received a proposal from an internationally-reputed foreign agency to participate in the project. We are evaluating their proposals and will soon finalise the bids,” Nirani told Business Standard.
The industrial corridors are planned along the Chennai-Mumbai national highways via Bangalore, Davanagere, Hubli, Belgaum and Pune. Cities falling on the National Highways NH-4 and NH-17 like Bangalore to Belgaum will be developed as a major corridor and Bangalore to Bidar on NH-17, Shimoga to Davanagere and Shimoga to Mangalore. It has been planned to create industrial townships in seven sectors like steel, cement, textile, automobile, food processing, oil & chemicals and fertiliser.
The minister said cement industries will be encouraged in Gulbarga, Bagalkot and Chitradurga, iron and steel industries in Bellary, Koppal and Tumkur. Automobile industries will be promoted in Belgaum, Hubli and Mysore. Meanwhile, Bangalore will be promoted further as a preferred destination for information technology and biotechnology, electronics and general engineering. He said, basic infrastructure will be upgraded in these cities to enable industry to progress. Star category industries will be provided facilities including residential townships and other infrastructure.
In addition, Nirani said centres of horticulture like Bagalkot, Bijapur, Belgaum, Shimoga districts could have food processing units.
A foundry zone will be developed in Belgaum. The government is in the process of identifying 500 acres on the outskirts of Belgaum for the proposed foundry park. Land acquisition is in progress, he said.

The GIM will be held in December this year. The government is in the process of finalising the knowledge partner, event partner and media partner for the event.

Valuable thoughts
Dear Readers I would like to share a letter sent to me, It really means and worth a well-off words not just for we NRI's but for every fellow Belgaumties and All Indians too.
Dear Satish, I am an NRI, worry for my country, I am sending the following thoughts, which I feel is must to save our next generations.
I think a thorough cleansing is needed in our system, right from thinking level to attitude of every individual. Some new era, or new air has to be in our system.We need to have the value based education system, and philosophy in our education.These are the main factors which are lagging in us, thus resulting into crimes, underdeveloped status, and loss making. Why are we deprived of basic needs such as water, roads, electricity (since 30 years+). Plus behavior, attitude, all are reaching to alarming state. We are under false illusion that we are developed, in what?? Is there any solution? Yes we have, Allow NRIs, clean professionals to be as a part of the system and see the improvement. All our leaders are either criminals, or money busters. Can you show a single leader who can really worry about our people and motherland? Stop this idiotic system, develop a think tank party and admit only leaned, NRIs and professionals with zero crimes, and see the difference. In Singapore, if a person is graduated from the top University, Government will invite and provide a MP seat, can we do it by providing a corporate seat atliest?
We worry about a lot in language issues, but language is a code our ancestors developed to communicate, but what we are doing? fight for language, blacken the boards written in Kannada/Marathi. Is it not an attitude problems? Has any party fought for drinking water, unemployment, roads or hunger. But they fight for language, temples, religion? Are we not idiots and ignorant fools? What is the difference between other underdeveloped countries and us? we are all more or the less same right? THUS WE NEED A CLEANSING.
