35-acre business centre planned in Gadag under PPP model
H.K. Patil, Gadag MLA, said that as the project was being implemented through a PPP model, private participants should not view it solely from a profit perspective but also contribute with a sense of public service.
The Gadag-Betageri Business Centre, a proposed 35-acre development in the heart of Gadag, is set to be constructed through a public-private partnership (PPP) model in several phases. H.K. Patil, the Gadag MLA, chaired a meeting with bidders, entrepreneurs, traders, and investors at the district administrative complex on August 22.
Patil emphasized the importance of high-quality construction and infrastructure, stating that the project must be attractive, functional, and suitable for long-term public use. He urged private participants to focus not only on profit but also on public service. The project will be divided into seven sectors and include facilities such as a five-star hotel, commercial establishments, a convention hall, a textile center, a children's entertainment zone, Gandhi Bhavan, landscaped circles, wider roads, and improved transport connectivity.
The Gadag-Betageri Trade, Culture, and Exhibition Authority was allocated nearly 35 acres for the project. Patil invited local traders and investors to submit their requirements and suggestions by September 10 to ensure feasible proposals are considered for finalizing the project. Deputy Commissioner C.N. Sridhar assured adherence to legal compliance and quality standards during implementation.
The project is expected to boost trade, employment, investment, tourism, and urban infrastructure in Gadag.
