The Below story in less no ordinary since it inspires one to be an entrepreneur and how to be on self , well this is what a corporate India is heading to and none the less RK Patil CEO of Belgaum based Vyavya Labs has already taken th lead
BANGALORE: With the wait for jobs getting longer, the number of B-school graduates turning to start-ups is also increasing. A first-year student at
IIM Bangalore launched a start-up called NextGen this year which deals in clean technology. NextGen recently bagged clean technology projects from the ministry of renewable energy and Yes Bank and companies like Intel, Infosys, MindTree, and now boasts of presence in Singapore and Portugal.
“There is a lot of pressure on companies to go green and reduce the carbon footprint. We are now working on a biogas plant based on food wastes to produce fuel. IISc is helping us in this and we are setting up a pilot project in BITS Pilani and on the Intel campus,” said the 22-year-old student. “Although the primary objective is to make money, there is also the need to create sustainable sources of energy for rural areas.”
Eximus, an entrepreneurship summit held in IIM Bangalore which focussed on start-ups this year, saw around 1,500 registrations. Some 300 IIM students applied for business plans and some 25 venture capitalists showed interest to participate. Close to 120 IIM students applied to get live projects from start-ups, said Sabyasachi Senapati, senior co-ordinator, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Cell, and an IIM-B student.
Start-ups like 8KMiles are willing to give live projects dealing in cost-effective and secure outsourcing of software done online to prospective entrepreneurs while Justbooks, which promotes e-books, is willing to award projects to understand the impact of digitisation of music and film industry and draw parallels to digitisation of books.
Similarly, projects from Vyavya Labs, headquartered in Belgaum, touch on engineering services and how to take semiconductor and embedded software products to the market in a short time. Lawrence Dale, based in Ooty, offers expertise on ways to optimise real estate space and farms to increase cash flow.
First-year IIM-B student Abhinav Jain, 24, is one of the students attending an interview to get the live project as he wants to launch a start-up in the technology space. “The idea is to understand how start-ups work, know the challenges and how to interact with potential clients,” said Mr Jain. Kanchan Mishra, 24, another first-year IIM-B student is also interested to get hooked to start-ups.
“Students want live projects. Crederety, an identity and credentials verification service start-up incubated in Wharton Business School, will award live projects to students on the market entry strategy for the Indian market,” she said.
“This clearly indicates that there is growing interest in start-ups. The Eximus programme is a students’ initiative,” said A Suryanarayanan, COO, NS Raghavan Centre of Entrepreneurial Learning. “To start an entrepreneurial journey, all you need is an idea,” Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, founder and CMD of Biocon said while addressing entrepreneurs at IIM-B.

Belgaum’s growing Technological profile, Why IIT Belgaum still far ?
In the recent past at Belgaum two new Engineering collages took shape, SCET ( Shaikh Collage of Engineering and Technology)of PEST Education Society and SGBT Shri S.G. Balekundri collage of Engineering taking the total number of engineering collages to five in the city The new generation of talent pool is taking shape in the little known city of Belgaum to the real world outside.
The IIT Belgaum demand has submerged somewhere not known Why? Just in wait and what next to happen. The Belgaumites are yet to be awakened, and the sorry state of our elected representatives goes as usual.
The area near Buthramatti is growing more out of an educational township since many collage is housing up here and even the MLA who’s soul had woken up for IIT Belgaum suggested the same area.
Now from here where would we go ? When is the reality of Veer Rani Chanamma University would be taking shape and if so in near future, will it still have the same shabby old building , I though believe there is no derth of architects to design an University in Belgaum with both modern and historic blends to shape it off.
On The VTU as I wrote about its name sake survival in Belgaum before and both the center of excellence of VTU been developed in Mysore and Bangalore, where international collaboration were involved , do we prefer to get the same no-preferential and discriminatory treatment from state government to come in near future , “If NO” then I appeal first the Belgaumites and our elected representatives and finally the State government to stop enough unfair treatment to Belgaum and get on with sanction of IIT at Belgaum immediately, and none the less even relocate the center of excellence back to Belgaum at VTU Premises.

Whats More Belgaum is One up for IIT MLA support count up from all sides
BJP MLA drums up support for IIT in Belgaum

BANGALORE: Union Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Veerappa Moily may want to express gratitude to his voters of Chikballapur parliamentary constituency by establishing an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) there.
But the legislators in Karnataka, cutting across party lines, have a different desire.
They want the new IIT to be established in Belgaum, the second capital of Karnataka. They have already begun lobbying to have the IIT in the foundry city and have roped in even parliamentarians from Maharashtra and Goa for support.
Abhay Kumar Patil, MLA from Belgaum South Assembly segment, has already obtained signatures of 126 MLAs and 12 ministers from Karnataka.
Eight MPs from Maharashtra and two MPs from Goa have already promised support for the cause.
Patil, who has already hosted three meetings in Belgaum in this regard, is involving retired and working scientists, professors and heads of all educational institutions, including VTU, in addition to the people’s representatives in his efforts.
Next week, a delegation of likeminded people will meet Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa to apprise him about the necessity of having an IIT in Belgaum and to convince him to take a delegation to Union Minister for Human Resources Kapil Sibal, in this matter next month.
The delegation plans to ask for defence research as one of the subjects to be taught at the planned IIT there, since Belgaum has a defence base and that subject is not taught in any other IIT.
Bangalore is already overcrowded with research institutions.
So it is essential to decentralise the system, it is felt.
Since other major cities Mysore and Hubli-Dharwad already have enough institutions, it is the turn of Belgaum to have an IIT, Patil argues.
Once an IIT is established in Belgaum, it will have all the potential to grow faster, since it will have feeder educational institutions from Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa states.
Belgaum is located at the centre for these states.
Belgaum has good connectivity by road, by air, by sea and by rail.
There are seven engineering, two medical and 3,200 other educational institutions in Belgaum district alone.
Patil pointed out that Belgaum was next to Bangalore in exporting goods to other countries.
Automobile spares, garments and aluminium powder from Belgaum are exported to many European countries, he added.
Moreover, there is 2,300 acres of government land available at Suttagatti in Belgaum, out of which 800 acres can be given to the IIT immediately, goes the argument in favour of Belgaum.

IIT Belgaum……. would it be a near Reality !!!
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.

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

Industrial Plans for Belgaum
The below recent statements is about industrial plan for Karnataka in genrel and Belgaum in perticular. May I request Hon Minister Mr. Nirani to be focused on overal development of region and look forward for Belgaum's development mainly in infrastructural capabilities, such as Belgaum Dharwad Railway line and Belgaum Bagalkot and Raichur , well Goa Belgaum road four laning is in [rogress , a new Karnataka quadrilatiral , connecting Banglaore Chitradurga Gulbarga Bijapur Belgaum Karwar Mangalore Mysore is alos an imminent need.
Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd (IL&FS), KPMG, Infrastructure Development Corporation Karnataka Ltd (iDeCK) and IDBI are among the 19 companies that have evinced interest in providing consultancy services to Karnataka on developing the proposed industrial corridors along National Highways 4 and 17 to attract investment and create employment opportunities for people in North Karnataka.
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.
Nirani said the government will also complete the land acquisition process before holding the long-pending Global Investors Meet (GIM) in Bangalore in December.
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.

Belgaum Task Force for beautification and cleanliness
Dear Belgaumites,
Belgaum is going to have a task force for beautification and cleanliness, I would appeal you all to put in your valuable comments information or even pictures which would help the government bodies to look up on and do the needful, this task force should be people driven,should be propogated to collages youth forums and I request all Belgaumites from respective areas need to put in their comments, picture and valuable thoughts to enhance the effectivness of the task force, the future movement should be based on Peoples agendas.
I have few comments to share and apply
All the boards should be in Kannada, Marathi and English, because Belgaum is a cosmopolitan city, I appeal KRV activist to respect value for living and respect for Human beings and Belgaumites, Respect for your fellow neighbors no matter Who they are Kannada Marathi Urdu or any other language.
The fort at Belgaum entrance is at Mess create a small city private terminal for Buses and with proper infrastructure like landscape garden and also the small dwellers hawkers can have galas with much better waste disposal facility, who are now encroaching the road side areas at Bus stand .
The Belgaum bus stand need to be revived, Move the divisional workshop (Main depot no 1) to outskirts and expand the bus station with more platforms. Connect an foot over bridge with city bus station.
BUDA should take control of uneven growth of New Gandhi nagar towards Railway track. and make a proper plan for sanitation and water, draining.
Float a green earth policy, plant at least one tree a month in your locality , have public youth forums in doing so.
Move the illegal vegitable wholesale market near fort and one behind Sankam residencey to APMC, with proper infrastructure or to the Proposed Food and agriculture park at Belgaum.
The Vaccine Depot is being created into natures paradise add up recreation facilities for children like toy train and boating, bird watching.
We have good number of MLA’s and MP’s but Belgaum Gokak road, which starts from Mahantesh Nagr is in total mess the Belgaum task force should see to make four lane city access road till Ramteerth or Ashte.
The Belgaum city cantonment should double the road with divider between, Sanchayani circles to Station cross. And also should be come part of this task force.
So Friends whatever I knew being away from Belgaum for last fifteen years have shared , but there much more active people have knowledge and info pertaining to their respective areas and also nitty gritties of their localities so do come forward share and we would take them to government bodies, I 100% aliases with my blog buddy Uday for his Brand Belgaum concept and I hope it would start from here.

Global Accolades for Quest Belgaum
Frost & Sullivan Honours QuEST Global for Its Exceptional Competitive Strategy Leadership
Source:http://www.frost.com.
Last update: 1:30 p.m. EDT Oct. 13, 2008
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct 13, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The 2008 Competitive Strategy Leadership Award for Global Commercial Aviation Suppliers Based in India is presented to QuEST Global. The company's successful venture into manufacturing aero structures, aero engine parts and sub-assemblies for aerospace Tier 1 suppliers and OEM's has been followed by an exciting venture -- the establishment of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Belgaum (India) for precision engineering. This strategy aims at optimally capitalizing on the opportunities in the aerospace sector, while catering to the complete aerospace supply chain on a long term basis.
"The precision engineering SEZ being promoted by QuEST Global will provide best-in-class facilities and infrastructure for the global aerospace industry," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst John Siddharth. "The SEZ, set to be operational by year end, is spread over 300 acres and will provide an ecosystem for OEMs, their suppliers, all ancillary and related end user industries to set up precision manufacturing and engineering units."
The SEZ will have a direct impact on the supply chain of the Indian aerospace industry. Currently, the industry is segmented. The SEZ aims at creating a complete supply chain for both the Indian as well as the global aerospace industry. It will act as a platform for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into India.
The SEZ is strategically located and offers greater scope for expansion. It has access to a large talent pool of machinists. Belgaum, in the state of Karnataka (India), is a Tier-III city, and development/expansion in Tier-III cities is typically easier, less expensive and less cumbersome. Moreover, the SEZ is close to three sea ports and is linked to key cities through major highways. Belgaum also has an airport of its own, besides 2 other airports within 90 minutes drive.
Till date, four units catering to various areas of the aerospace supply chain have initiated the setting up their operations in the SEZ. QuEST Global is planning to double the size of the SEZ based on the growth needs of the companies.
QuEST Global is working with Aerospace OEM's and Tier-1's that are looking to globalize their supply chain to leverage the aerospace precision engineering ecosystem, by establishing facilities in the SEZ. QuEST Global is, itself, expanding its precision machining activities in the SEZ, and is also setting up a special processing company as a joint venture called Aerospace Processing India (API) with Magellan Aerospace. In addition, there will be a sheet metal unit and an engineering design unit in the SEZ.
"The strategic advantage of having players across the value chain in aerospace manufacturing in the SEZ, would be the amount of time saved for logistics, which is highly time consuming in the case of aerospace systems and assemblies," remarks Siddharth. "Since each unit in the SEZ would be a specialist in their own segment, this presents a win-win situation."
Importantly, the SEZ will allow QuEST Global to offer complete design to build services, right from the concept to the finished product that can be used to build an aircraft. This is a unique offering from QuEST Global that is set to gain widespread appeal in the aerospace industry, as companies consolidate their supply chain and look for more value-add from their suppliers.
QuEST Global has been growing substantially, with year on year growth averaging nearly 45 per cent over the last 3 years. In 2008-2009, QuEST Global is anticipating an over 75 per cent growth in revenues. On completion of the SEZ, the company's overall growth is set to rise more rapidly than the current rate.
The Frost & Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy Leadership is presented to the company whose competitive strategy has yielded significant gains in market share during the research period. Often, the recognised company has taken advantage of recent market changes that facilitate the introduction of never-before seen methods of capturing and solidifying market presence. Alternatively, the Award recipient may have executed an innovative strategy within the existing competitive landscape, empowering the company to overtake the competition. In either case, the company captures the attention of the competition, which quickly adjusts in order to protect its own market position. Frost & Sullivan analysts expect such innovations to produce lasting, precedent-setting trends in the industry.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognise companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

Will Belgaum miss the car plant
Belgaum ideal for Nano plant
2,611 acres of land available at Vantamuri’Belgaum has good infrastructure, says Abhay Kumar Patil, MLA
Tata Motors can take a look at an “ideal site” in Belgaum before taking any decision on relocating its Nano car manufacturing plant said Mr.patil.
Belgaum, which had moderate and pleasant climate, was ideal for the plant. Belgaum had infrastructure such as airport, railway station, and express highway (NH 4), and Goa port was just 150 km away.
The city had well-established industries, including those manufacturing automobile components, and skilled work force.
Belgaum Chamber of Commerce and Industry would extend its support to Tata Motors if it established its car manufacturing plant in Belgaum.
A proposal to Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa stating that there was 2,611 acres of government revenue land in and around Vantamuri in Belgaum and Hukkeri taluks, part of which could be given to Tata Motors to establish its car manufacturing plant.
This blog was the first one to mention about Nano being getting out of Bengal and may be it will come to Dharwad, but it seems to be making its way to Gujrat as of now. I would request all the Members of the chambers and the MLA to call on the Tatas directly to come and see the place. Now they will give a memorandum to the CM, then the CM will look at it and by this time the Nano will come out on the road from the Gujrat factory.
We need to be very reactive and urgency in action is required, I Guess.

New IT parks for Belgaum and Hubli
Well before you will read the below post, I have the latest update on Belgaum IT park by KSSIA (Karnataka State Small Industry Association) . This park is yet to take shape , the total area is about 41 Acres next to Belgaum Golf academy at Desur , the plot cost may vary and approximately will go for 2 lakhs per gunta, there are four international companies on whose behalf I had approached the Jt Director and the office in charge , he even gave update on Waghwade IT park of 150 acres with earth station from STPI is yet to take shape.
The KASSIA IT park will only sell plots where as the Waghwade IT park will have some added facilities, such as Banks , Government clearing agencies and international convention centre, unfortunately the IT park at Waghwade is gone into rough weather due to villagers and few politicians had in hand.
Now Hon Minister Mr Katta Subramanya Naidu announces 200 acres of new IT park for Belgaum and 500 acres for Hubli , I don’t know what will materialise of these loose talks when the commitments of earlier announcements have not been met,
The time will tell whether we are going to see more of such announcements or realty taking shape.

BANGALORE: The IT City will soon have another IT park, but with a difference. The 2,000-acre facility housing IT, BT, hardware, nano and aviation industries, will come up not on a single piece of contiguous land but will be more like a chain of industrial areas linked by good roads. It will be set up under the public private partnership (PPP) mode. IT-BT minister Katta Subramanya Naidu told reporters here on Wednesday that such an effort will not only retain industries in Bangalore, but also invite more industries to the city. “We have received several requests for large tracts of land by many industries. This project will fulfil all their needs,’’ Naidu said. According to him, the government plans to drop the process of compulsory land acquisition for this park and explore other options. A smaller IT and small and micro industries park will come up in Bangalore on a 25-acre area. Nearly 300 firms have already submitted requests for land in the park. It will be taken up under the PPP model by the state-run electronic industries corporation Keonics. The state also plans to set up a 500-acre IT park in Hubli and a 200-acre IT park in Belgaum. The minister has already met representatives of the chambers of commerce and industries from Hubli and Belgaum. “IT parks will also come up in other tier-II cities like Shimoga, Gulbarga, Mangalore and Mysore. The state is considering a request by Wipro technologies for a 100-acre land in Mysore for a faculty training university,’’ he said.

BANGALORE: The new Director-General and Inspector-General of Police R. Srikumar on Monday hinted that police commissionerates would soon be set up in Mangalore, Gulbarga and Belgaum.
Responding to a question from presspersons on the status of the long-pending proposal to create police commissionerates in the three cities, Mr. Srikumar said: “You will soon hear good news in this regard.”
However, he did not elaborate.
In view of the increase in the population of Belgaum, Mangalore and Gulbarga and , and the resultant rise in crime and law and order problems, the State Government had planned to set up police commissionerates, headed by a police commissioner.
The three cities are now part of the respective district police units, headed by Superintendent of Police.
After taking over as State police chief from K.R. Srinivasan, who retired on superannuation, Mr. Srikumar said he would strive to “make the Karnataka police technology-oriented professionals.”
Mr. Srikumar, who is an electrical engineering graduate from the Indian Institute of Technology, said he would focus on extensive use of technology to ensure that people of Karnataka get “top class” police service.
“We will ensure that people’s aspirations are fulfilled and their grievances addressed. Subhadra Karnataka-Suraksha Karnataka would be our motive,” he remarked.
The State police website would be re-launched in a couple of days and every activity of the police would be available on the Net on “need-to-know basis,” he said.Corruption
Mr. Srikumar said there would be “zero-tolerance” towards corruption, and efficient officers would be encouraged. Any complaint of corruption against the police would be properly probed. “I will provide all assistance to the Lokayukta to check corruption. A few minutes ago, I had an informal conversation in this regard with Additional Director-General of Police (Lokayukta) R.K. Dutta,” he said.
Mr. Srikumar said steps would be taken to build the capacity and skills of policemen. Admitting that there was shortage of manpower in the department, he said various proposals for augmenting the manpower were pending with the Government.
Replying to a question on his strategy for checking the naxalite menace, Mr. Srikumar said naxalism was a social problem, and in a democracy there would always be voices of dissent. “If dissent is expressed through violence, the rule of law will take over. The police would take actions on the instructions of the Government,” he observed.
Terming terrorism as a global phenomenon, the State police chief said top priority would be accorded to contain terrorist activities. He said steps were being taken to strengthen the anti-terrorist cell. “There should be more cooperation from the public and the media to check terrorism,” he said.
Profit:
Mr. Srikumar, who was till now Chairman and Managing Director of Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation Ltd., said that for the first time since its inception, the corporation had earned a profit of Rs. 13 crore during 2007-2008. The board of directors had decided to pay 100 per cent dividend to the State Government, he said.
Mr. Srinivasan thanked his colleagues for the cooperation they had extended to him during his 36 years of service and hoped that the State police force would do better under Mr. Srikumar’s leadership.

Replying to a question on his strategy for checking the naxalite menace, Mr. Srikumar said naxalism was a social problem, and in a democracy there would always be voices of dissent. “If dissent is expressed through violence, the rule of law will take over. The police would take actions on the instructions of the Government,” he observed.
Terming terrorism as a global phenomenon, the State police chief said top priority would be accorded to contain terrorist activities. He said steps were being taken to strengthen the anti-terrorist cell. “There should be more cooperation from the public and the media to check terrorism,” he said.
Profit:
Mr. Srikumar, who was till now Chairman and Managing Director of Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation Ltd., said that for the first time since its inception, the corporation had earned a profit of Rs. 13 crore during 2007-2008. The board of directors had decided to pay 100 per cent dividend to the State Government, he said.
Mr. Srinivasan thanked his colleagues for the cooperation they had extended to him during his 36 years of service and hoped that the State police force would do better under Mr. Srikumar’s leadership.
