Its chairman was nominated in July 2020; action plans, supposed to be approved by the board, are now going to the State government for approval The ongoing legislature session has had the Opposition Congress repeatedly slamming the government for “neglecting” the Kalyana Karnataka region, while Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has reeled out figures about funds sanctioned. However, inordinate delay in setting up an administrative machinery crucial to liaise between agencies has gone under the radar.
To this day, the Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB), which was formed under Article 371(J) of the Constitution that offered Special Status to the region, remains paralysed, with no members appointed, except for its chairman.
