Anti-rowdy squad to be set up in Bengaluru: CM
Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced several initiatives for Bengaluru on Independence Day. The state will establish an anti-rowdy squad to ensure safety and an AI university in Bengaluru to prepare its young population for a technology-driven future. New programs aim to introduce AI education in schools, with AI certificate courses starting in January 2027.
Shivakumar highlighted that Rs 1.56 lakh crore projects have been sanctioned for Bengaluru, which he considers Karnataka's economic engine. He emphasized that Bengaluru's growth should align with the development of smaller cities. The state will also introduce AI education from Class VI in schools and transform 1,000 government schools into Karnataka Public Schools over two years.
Additionally, the government plans to make Karnataka greener by reducing water wastage and promoting horticulture and dairy farming.
