 PREFACE

The Economic Survey is published every year by the State Government with an
objective of assessing and evaluating the performance of the State across sectors
and to identify specific gaps and challenges for initiating appropriate action. The
document highlights the macro-economic profile of the State and provides basic
information and data on economic policies and development programmes being
implemented by the Government.

I trust this document will be of relevance to policy makers in different fields,

current and prospective investors both domestic & foreign and entrepreneurs,
researchers, academicians, students and citizens interested in the subject.

We have made concerted efforts to check the accuracy and relevance of the data
and information presented in the document. Our endeavor is to enhance the
analysis of issues and performance. A new chapter "Sustainable Development
Goals", is incorporated as 17th Chapter, which represents the initiatives taken by
the Government to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.

I would like to acknowledge and thank Dr. C.H.Vasundhara Devi, Director,

Sri K.Parappaswamy, Additional Director(I/c), Sri C.Kempaiah, Senior Consultant
and Sri D.Chandrashekaraiah, Joint Director, Directorate of Economics and
Statistics for their tireless and excellent work, to bring out 2019-20 Economic
Survey Report in a timely manner.

The preparation of the Economic Survey has also been supported by inputs from all
nodal officers of the department, at State level.

I would also like to appreciate the substantial contribution of domain expert

Prof. Chaya K.Degaonkar who have greatly enhanced the quality of the final
document.

Last, but certainly not the least, I take this opportunity to thank the officers of the
line departments who have provided data and the information on new initiatives
and challenges. I hope this report will be used to the optimum, as all in the
previous years and spur economic growth in the days to come.

Dr. Shalini Rajneesh I.A.S.,

Additional Chief Secretary
to the Government,
Planning, Programme Monitoring &
Statistics Department.

Goalsetc. The chapter-wise executive summary
of the Economic Survey is presented below.
1.2 STATE ECONOMY
(I) State Income
The Advance estimates of Gross State Domestic
Product (GSDP) of Karnataka for the year 2019-
20 highlights that at constant (2011-12) prices
the GSDP is likely to attain a level of
Rs. 12,01,031 crores with a growth of 6.8%. The
sectoral growth rate of Agriculture, Industry and
Services are expected to grow at 3.9%, 4.8% and
7.9% respectively.
The GSVA growth rate of agriculture sector has
increased to 3.9% in 2019-20 compared to
(-)1.6% in 2018-19. The rise in agriculture sector
in 2019-20 is on account of increase in foodgrain
production from 128 lakh tonnes to 136 lakh
tonnes, oilseeds production from 51 lakh tonnes
to 56 lakh tonnes when compared to 2018-19.
Similarly, in livestock sector, milk production is
anticipated to increase from 79 lakh tonnes to 88
lakh tonnes, egg production from 54 lakh
numbers to 59 lakh numbers and meat
production from 1.1 lakh tonnes to 1.27 lakh
tonnes. Fish production has also boosted in
2019-20 (marine fish 3.6 to 4 lakh tonnes, inland
fish 1.9 to 2.5 lakh tonnes) compared to
2018-19.
The industry sector (comprising mining &
quarrying, manufacturing, construction and
electricity, gas & water supply) is expected to
grow by 4.8% in 2019-20 against a growth of
5.6 % during 2018-19.
Service sector is expected to grow by 7.9% during
2019-20 compared to growth of 9.8% during
2018-19. Service sector is a major contributor of
2 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
overall GSDP of the state as the share of private
corporate sector to this sector is significantly
higher compared to other sectors. In 2019-20,
Other services sector (Education, Health and
other remaining services) with 11.2%, Real
Estate, Professional Services & Ownership of
Dwellings with 8.6%, Public Administration with
8.0%, Trade and Repair Services with 6.5%
growth are the major contributors of service
sector to achieve the overall state economy
growth rate. While preparing the Advance
estimates of service sectors, All India growth rate
is adopted. Hence, the service sector growth has
reduced compared to previous year.
The First Advance Estimates of All India Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) at constant (2011-12)
prices for the year 2019-20 is expected to grow at
5.0%. The sectoral growth rate of Agriculture,
Industry and Services at all India are anticipated
to grow at 2.8%, 2.5% and 6.9% respectively.
(ii) Per capita Income
Per Capita State Income (i.e. per capita NSDP) of
Karnataka at current prices is estimated to be
Rs.2,31,246 showing a rise of 8.8% during 2019-
20, as against Rs.2,12,477 in 2018-19.The Per
Capita National Income is expected to reach Rs.
1,35,050 during 2019-20 from Rs.1,26,521
during 2018-19 with an increase of 6.7%. The
level of per capita state income at constant
(2011-12) prices is also expected to rise from
Rs.1,53,276 during 2018-19 to Rs.1,61,931 for
the year 2019-20 with the growth rate of 5.6%.
(iii) Sectoral Composition of Gross State
Domestic Product
A marginal decrease is evident in the
composition of GSDP of agriculture and industry
sector from 11.18% and 23.67% in 2018-19 to
10.97% and 22.84% in 2019-20 respectively.
Meanwhile, a marginal increase in the
composition of the service sector from 65.15% to
66.19% is apparent. The contribution of 'Real
estate, Professional Services & Ownership of
Dwellings' is highest with (35.31%) in 2019-20
followed by 'Manufacturing (15.32%)', 'Trade
and Repair Services (9.51%)' and 'Crops
(7.44%)'.
(iv) Prices

1970=100) during 2019-20, has increased to
5402 in November 2019 from 4843 in April 2019
with an increase of 11.54%.
1.3 FISCAL DEVELOPMENT AND STATE
FINANCES
(a) Fiscal Consolidation: Karnataka's relative
fiscal performance with reference to 'All States' is
considerably sound. The State's fiscal
consolidation efforts have continued to be
effective with all the fiscal indicators contained
within the stipulated limits of the Karnataka
Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2002 (KFRA). The
broad fiscal indicators continue to perform well
and have largely been within the fiscal rules
prescribed. Driven by various fiscal
consolidation measures, Karnataka while
enhancing its revenues has managed its
expenditure well. In 2019-20, the State has
estimated (i) revenue surplus of Rs.257.97 crore,
(ii) Fiscal Deficit at 2.65% of GSDP and (iii) Total
liabilities at 20.60% of GSDP. Other important
expenditure indicators such as proportion of
State tax revenue in the revenue expenditure
and non-development expenditure in aggregate
disbursements place Karnataka in a better
position.
(b) State Finances: The State's revenue receipts
have increased to181862.96 crore in 2019-20
(BE) from 165896.96 crore in 2018-19 (RE),
9.62% increase in 2019-20 (BE) over 2018-19
(RE). The growth in Revenue receipts is primarily
due to the growth of tax revenue. The per capita
State's own tax revenue has increased from
Rs.15611 in 2018-19 (RE) to Rs.17220 in
2019-20 (BE). The tax revenue is expected to
increase from Rs.106312.41 crore in 2018-19
(RE) to Rs.118992.98 crore in 2019-20 (BE),
thus indicating a growth rate of 11.92%. The
State continues to have an overall revenue
surplus, albeit at reduced levels. As a result, in
2019-20 (BE), Development Expenditure
increased by about 7.01% compared to 2018-19
(RE).
(c) The State's own Tax Revenue: The State's
own tax revenues (SOTR) increased from
Rs.70180 crore in 2014-15 to Rs.118993 crore
during 2019-20 (BE). The ratio of non-tax
revenue to total receipts has not been increasing
over the years. Karnataka is in better position
with respect to proportion of State tax revenue in
3
the revenue receipts (62.50%) when compared to
all States (51.10%) in 2018-19 (BE).
(d) Per-Capita Development Expenditure: The
per capita development expenditure in
Karnataka during 2016-17, 2017-18 (RE) and
2018-19 (BE) was Rs.18864, Rs.20578 and
Rs.23179 respectively as compared to all State's
average of Rs.14181, Rs.15687 and Rs.17171
The high percentage of committed revenue
expenditure to revenue receipts (84%) in
2018-19 (RE) reveals that the State has limited
flexibility in allocation of its resources for new
schemes. Hence the need of the hour is
expenditure rationalization/ re-calibration.
(e) Current Fiscal Challenges and Way
Forward: Despite the State's broad successes in
its fiscal consolidation efforts, the State
government faces several fiscal challenges
arising from limited upside potential for resource
mobilization relative to GSDP, rigidities in the
form of committed expenditure, and weak
linkages between expenditure and development
outcomes.
(f) Capital Outlay: Capital outlay as percent of
GSDP in expenditure front has slightly increased
from 2.38% in 2018-19(RE) to 2.52% in 2019-20
(BE). However, this poses a great challenge and
is a matter of concern for Karnataka due to the
infrastructure inadequacies prevailing in the
State.
(g) Low Non-tax Revenue: Non-tax revenue as a
percentage of revenue receipts is declining over
the past several years. The ratio of Non-tax
revenue to GSDP has been negligible mainly on
account of low and declining cost recoveries,
poor performance of Public Enterprises and
uneconomic pricing of implicit subsidies and
lack of regular and periodic monitoring by the
Administrative Departments.
(h) Removal of Distinction between Plan and
Nonplan: It is expected that with the removal of
this distinction, a direct link between spending
and outcome could be established which will be
useful in assessing the efficiency of public
expenditure. The Union Government removed
this distinction in Government Expenditure
from the Financial Year 2017-18 onwards. For
the reason cited above, the State Government
has also removed this distinction in the
Government Budget from the Financial Year
2017-18.
(i) Comprehensive Decision Support System:
This system would capture information on the
progress of the State Government's Schemes
directly from the implementation points and
4 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
enable the Government to formulate
comprehensive District and Block Plans.
(j) Gender Budget: Gender based budgeting
helps to prioritize and orient public expenditure
to reflect the concerns of women. The State is one
of the pioneers in Gender Budget Initiatives and
preparing Gender Budget documents since
2007-08. The Gender Budget document
indicates the quantum of allocations made
through schemes intended for welfare and
empowerment of women. The Gender Budget
Allocation (BE) for the year 2019-20 is at
Rs.111012.86 crore which is 47.41 percent of
total budget. All government programmes/
Schemes wherein women beneficiaries are at
least thirty percent have been classified into
categories A and B. Category-A covers schemes
which benefit women 100 percent. There are 66
schemes under this category in 2019-20 and
allocation under these schemes is at Rs.5222.46
crore which is about 4.70% of the total Gender
Budget. Category-B covers schemes, where in
women beneficiaries are 30-99 percent. There
are 816 schemes under this category in 2019-20
and allocation for these schemes is at
Rs.105790.39 crore which is about 95.30% of
the Gender Budget.
(k) Goods and Service Tax (GST): GST has been
introduced in the State in 2017-18. GST is
expected to have positive impact on economic
activities in the long run. Awareness and
capacity amongst tax payers as well as within
Government is extremely critical for smooth
transition. The State has taken steps to ensure
that the nuances of GST are comprehensively
explained to all the stake holders. A Central Help
Desk has been established in the Office of the
Commercial Tax Department at headquarters
which will address all the issues relating to GST
on all working days both online and offline.
1.4 INVESTMENT AND EXPORTS
(a) Investment: Karnataka's vast and diversified
resource base has emerged as a reputed
investment destination for investors worldwide.
The State was the first to enact the Industrial
Facilitation Act to help investors. Karnataka has
a single window which acts as a one-stop-shop
for investments in the State. The specific
advantages for Karnataka include i) Good law
and order situation prevailing in Karnataka
which is conducive to foreign direct investments.
ii) Abundant availability of highly skilled
manpower. iii) Karnataka ranks among the top 5
industrially developed States in India. iv)The
State provides excellent logistic support and
connectivity to the investors and v) The State
provides one of the biggest and fast expanding
markets in the Country.
(b) Foreign Direct Investment Inflow in
KARNATAKA (US $ MILLION): Biotechnology
and Information Technology Services has been
authorized as the Single Window Clearance
Agency for investments related to IT sector under
the i4 Policy. All projects below Rs.100 Cr are
approved by State Level Single Window
Clearance Committee (SLSWCC) and above
Rs.100 Cr. by State High Level Clearance
Committee (SHLCC).
Karnataka accounts for a significant share in the
total FDI that flows into India. The State had
15.1% share in the total FDI taking place in India
in 2018-19. Karnataka attracted FDI of US$
42320 from 2000 to 2019 (up to Sep 2019)
constituting 9.5 % of the all India FDI.
(c) Investment in Information Technology:
Bengaluru was the first city in India to set up a
Satellite Earth Station for high speed
communication services to facilitate software
exports in 1992. The State made a giant leap in
the Information Technology sector by
establishing the Country's first extended facility
of the International gateway and network
operations centre at the Software Technology
Park of India (STPI) in the Electronic City.
Karnataka is home to over 5500+ IT/ITES
companies, 750 MNCs contributing to over 58
billion USD (Rs. 58 lakh Crores) of exports,
giving direct employment to over 12 lakh
professionals and creating over 31 lakhs indirect
jobs. The industry contributes to over 25% of the
State's GDP. The share of Karnataka in
Information Technology exports is nearly 40% of
the country's exports of 155 billion USD.
(d) Investment in Biotechnology: Karnataka,
the Biotech Capital of India, is home to one of the
earliest and most thriving biotech ecosystems in
India. The major hubs for Biotechnology include
Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi - Dharwad,
Tumakuru and Mangaluru, with new potential
hubs under development, across the State. The
support for industry and startups comes from
the strong and evolving biotech research base in
Karnataka, comprising of many nationally and
internationally renowned Research Institutions,
Companies and startups. Karnataka is the
preferred destination for biopharma and
bioservices industry, including clinical trials,
contract research and manufacturing activities.
Karnataka is also strong on bioagriculture, bio-
energy, medical devices and bioinformatics.
Currently, Karnataka's Biotech industry
comprises of 400 small, medium and large sized
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
companies and over 270 Start-ups, together
forming 60% of the biotech companies in India.
The number continues to grow with most of the
well-known companies continuing to choose
Karnataka as destination for their operations. In
2016- 17, the biotech export revenues accounted
for US $ 4.91 billion, while the domestic
revenues accounted for US $ 1.88 billion.
Amongst the biotech market segments in
Karnataka, Biopharma is the largest segment,
contributing 65%, followed by Bioservices (16%),
Bioagri (13%), Bioindustrail (3%) and
Bioinformatics (3%). Karnataka holds about 2%
market share of the global biotech industry, 9%
market share in Asia, while in India it commands
an impressive 35% market share. The biotech
industry in Karnataka provides direct and
indirect employment to an estimated 19000
people with men constituting 69% of the
workforce and women 31%. Karnataka accounts
for 54% of India's biotech workforce.
e) Karnataka Start Up policy 2015-2020 : The
Karnataka Government's efforts to facilitate
entrepreneurship in the state can be traced back
to 2015, when “Karnataka Startup Policy 2015-
2020” was launched with a vision to stimulate
the growth of 20,000 tech startups by 2020. The
state government launched several startup-
focused funds that have a corpus of $47.3 Mn
(INR 300 Cr). Over 9000 people have registered
on the Startup Karnataka Portal as Startups,
Mentors, Incubators, Investors, Institutes etc
and more than 1200 startups have been certified
by Karnataka Startup Cell so far, of which
around 359 companies have been funded under
Idea2PoC/ Elevate Grant In Aid Seed Funding.
(f) Exports of Karnataka: Karnataka has a long
tradition of overseas trade. Historically,
Karnataka has been a major exporter of
commodities like coffee, spices, silk, cashew
nuts, handicrafts and agarbathies. In the last
two decades, the State has emerged as a major
player in the export of electronic and computer
software, engineering goods, readymade
garments, petrochemicals, gems and jewellery,
agro and food processing products, chemicals,
minerals and ores, marine products, etc.
Karnataka has carved out a niche for itself in the
global marketplace as the knowledge and
technology capital of the Country. The State has
made rapid and spectacular strides in the new
economy. Information technology, biotechnology
and research and development institutions have
enhanced Karnataka's achievements at national
and global levels. Karnataka accounts for more
than one third of electronics and computer
software exports from the country. It is also a
leader in exports of readymade garments,
5
petrochemicals and engineering commodities
from Southern Region. Karnataka exports as a
percentage of GSDP has a fairly large share and
has also increased significantly over the period.
The share of exports in GSDP which was 7.36%
in 1993-94, has grown to 28.90 during 2018-19.
Karnataka's exports amounted to about
Rs.659425.33 crore in 2018-19 which
constituted about 17.04% of the Country's
exports in that year. The share of merchandise

1.5 RURAL DEVELOPMENT
(i) Rural Development: Development of rural
areas has a bearing on improving agricultural
production and related economic activities,
availability of natural and financial resources
and their development, improvement of service
delivery thereby paving the way for improved
human development. The vision of rural
development is to provide sustainable and
inclusive growth along with empowerment of
Panchayat Raj Institutions. The State has to its
credit entrusting major responsibilities and
devolving all the 29 functions to the panchayats
as enlisted under the Eleventh Schedule of the
Constitution.
(ii) Decentralisation: Karnataka State
comprises of 6021 Gram Panchayats, 177 Taluk
Panchayats and 30 Zilla Panchayats. In recent
years, the Karnataka Government has been
taking a proactive stance to strengthen the
decentralized governance and planning process
and to that effect has introduced many
administrative innovations. 'Activity mapping', a
first of its kind in the country, has evolved a
detailed range of activities for all the three
Panchayats. The decentralized planning process
begins with the determination of annual plan
size at the state level, and allocation of funds to
the district sector.
The Karnataka Panchayath Raj (second
amendment) Act, 2015 has been amended in
December 2015. The salient features of the new
amendment are insertions of new sections 309A
to 309 H of the Principal Act. Section 309(4) and
309-A to 309-H where in it is clearly mentioned
the strategy to follow in preparing the
development plan from the grass root level
Janavasti Sabha. Section 310B has been
inserted to constitute Karnataka state
Decentralised Planning and Development
Committee, headed by Hon'ble Chief Minister of
Karnataka to formulate development plans and
annual economic review to be presented along
with the budget document.

like education, Other Rural Development
Programmes, Medical and Public Health
including Family welfare, welfare of Scheduled
Castes Scheduled Tribes & other Backward
Classes and Nutrition have been the priority
sectors of panchayats, receiving better allocation
compared to other sectors. There is a perceptible
increase in the allocation made to these sectors
across the plan years.
To increase the resources of Grama Panchayats,
the tax levying coverage area and criteria has
been revised. Building and land tax has been
levied based on their market value in Grama
Panchayat limit. Provision has been made for
Grama Panchayats to levy taxes on mobile tower,
wind power electricity generating plants and
solar energy electricity generating plants in
Grama Panchayat area.

population in the State is above national average
in all the census and the gap is increasing over
the years.
7
(I) Urban Housing: Housing is a basic
requirement of human beings. Growth of Urban
cities had led to growing demand for housing. To
meet the growing demand the State Government
has been pro-active in its housing policies.
Further, housing for the poor and down-trodden
assumes greater importance both in rural and
urban areas in the State. The State has
increased the budgetary allocation over time
along with formulation of facilitating policies and
guidelines.
Karnataka is one of the few states, which have
their own housing programmes for the EWS both
in rural and urban areas apart from the centrally
sponsored housing schemes. The Karnataka
Housing Board (KHB) caters to housing needs of
low income, middle income and high-income
groups. Karnataka Housing Board has
constructed 1,21,113houses and 77,793 sites
were developed upto 2018-19.
During 2019-20 under Vajpayee housing
scheme 5705 houses have been completed(upto

completed as against the target of 155 from 2009
to 2019-20 (upto Nov 2019) with an expenditure
of Rs.2529.47 crores.
(iii) Sanitation (Including Sewerage and
Drainage): The Government of India vision for
urban sanitation is set forth as: “All Indian cities
and towns become totally sanitized, healthy and
liveable and ensure and sustain good public
health and environmental outcomes for all their
citizens etc. with a special focus on hygienic and
affordable sanitation facilities for the urban poor
and women”. As per the NSUP 2008, Karnataka
State has proposed the State Sanitation Policy.

crores is utilized by various urban transport
projects as against the allocation of Rs.77.39
crores.
(v) Solid Waste Management: Municipal Solid
Waste Management is one of the basic functions
of the Municipalities. Rapid urbanization,
heterogeneous nature of waste, lack of
awareness among the public and various other
stake holders, lack of appropriate infrastruc-
ture, disintegrated & unscientific approach of
waste management has made the waste
management into an unmanageable situation.
There are totally 281 Urban Local Bodies (276
ULBs in the State 4 notified area including
BBMP) of which, 217 ULBs generates 5020 tons
of municipal solid waste and it is estimated that
61 new ULBs generates about 480 tons of MSW
every day. All the ULBs are responsible for
development of necessary infrastructure for
collection, storage, segre-gation, transportation,
processing and disposal of municipal solid
wastes.
Steps have been taken for disposal of Solid Waste
Management in ULBs. 100% door to door waste
collection is implemented in 6550 wards out of
6635 wards. 100% segregation of waste at
source is implemented in 3442 wards out of
6635 wards. 4981 tons of Municipal Solid Waste
is processed daily. Detailed Project Reports
(DPRs) on Integrated Municipal Solid Waste
Management of 219 ULBs have been approved
by High Power Committee.
(vi) Bruhath Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike
(BBMP): The Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike
(Bengaluru City Corporation) was established in
1949 by merging two separate municipalities,
which were in charge of the administration of the
“City Area” and the Cantonment Area of the city.
BBMP has taken up many infrastructure
projects to improve the infrastructure of the city.
Flyovers, Underpasses, Grade separators, Signal
free roads, road widening has smoothened the

crores has been sanctioned of which Rs.1019.97
crores has been spent for the development of the
city up to end of November 2019.
(vii) Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation
Limited (BMRCL): Metro rail is a vital
component of the transformation of the urban
transport scenario in India. With urban
population continuously growing, there is a need
for green solutions. Mass Rapid Transit Systems
are fast, safe and comfortable to travel. This
alone will encourage people to switch over from
personalized vehicles to public transport.
The Project is being implemented through a
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Bengaluru Metro
Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), with an equal
share holding owned by Government of India and
Government of Karnataka. Bengaluru Metro Rail

1.7 AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED SECTORS
AND FOOD SECURITY
1.7.1 Agriculture
The agriculture sector plays an important role in
the overall growth of Karnataka's economy
despite a fall in its share in the state domestic
product. It also continues to be the highest
employment generating sector and source of raw
material for various industries. The State has the
vision to accomplish productivity enhancement,
cost reduction for sustainable agriculture to
ensure increased income, farmers' welfare and
food security with an emphasis on small and
marginal farmers. The Agriculture Department
implements various schemes and programmes
9
of the Central and State Government for
enhancing production and productivity by
ensuring timely supply of vital inputs i.e. seeds,
fertilizers, plant protection chemicals, farm
equipments along with effective transfer of
technology through demonstrations to achieve
maximum output and thus enhancing the
overall welfare of the farming community.
During the current year, a new Central Sector
Scheme, namely “Pradhan Mantri Kisan
Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN)” was initiated for
augmenting the income of farmers by providing
income support to all landholder farmers. Under
the scheme, each eligible farmer family is
provided with the financial assistance of
Rs.6000/- in three instalments of Rs.2000/-
each. So far, 47.37 lakh farmers have benefitted
from the scheme. State Government on its part,
has also provided additional assistance of
Rs.4000/- in two instalments of Rs.2000/- each
under PM-KISAN-KARNATAKA scheme.
In addition to the on-going programmes, four
new programmes were initiated during the
current year, namely, i) Zero Budget Natural
Farming – low input, low-risk, climate-resilient
farming practice in harmony with nature ii) Raita
Siri – encouragement for farmers to grow Nutri-
cereals iii) Subsidy for setting up processing,
grading, value addition, packing, labelling and
branding of organic and zero budget natural
farming products and iv) Organic Farming
Adoption and Certification
(i) Monsoon: As 2/3 of the cultivated area in the
State is under rainfed cultivation, the failure of
monsoon leaves a significant impact on
agricultural production. The cumulative rainfall
during the southwest monsoon period from 1st
June to 30th September was 977 mm as against
a normal of 839 mm, but the failure of rains
during June-July and floods during August -
September hampered sowing of Kharif crops.
Rainfall during Northeast monsoon period (1st
October to 31st December) was 288 mm as
against a normal of 188 mm, Rabi sowing was
also hampered due to excess rains during
October and excess soil moisture in many
northern parts. State Government declared 103
taluks during August and 62 taluks during
October as flood-affected taluks, while 49 taluks
were declared as drought-affected taluks.
(ii) Agricultural Area and Production:
Bountiful rains during monsoon season have
improved the prospects of crop production
during the current year compared to the
previous year and the agriculture sector is likely
to achieve a growth rate of 3 to 4% over the
10
previous year. Advance Estimates of agricultural
production based on area coverage under
various Kharif and Rabi crops and likely
coverage during summer indicate food grain
production of 119.40 lakh tonnes against
targetted the production of 138.67 lakh tonnes
(102.03 lakh tonnes Cereals and 17.37 lakh
tonnes of Pulses against the target of 117.22 and
21.45 lakh tonnes, respectively). Oilseeds
production is estimated to be 10.73 lakh tonnes
against the target of 14.71 lakh tonnes.
Production of cotton is likely to be 14.75 lakh
bales against the target of 16.58 lakh bales. The
shortfall in the targetted production can be
attributed to the failure of rains during June-
July and floods during August and October
2019.
(iii) Land Utilization and Operational
Holdings: As per the land utilization statistics
for 2017-18, out of the total 190.50 lakh
hectares geographical area of the State, the net
cropped area was 98.95 lakh hectares
accounting to 51.94% of the total geographical
area. Gross cropped area was 119.94 lakh
hectares including 20.98 lakh hectares area
sown more than once, this works out to 121%
cropping intensity.
Agriculture Census of 2015-16 shows 86.81
lakh farm holdings are operating 118.05 lakh
hectares. Small and marginal holdings account
for 80% of total holdings and operate 44% of the
total operated area, while semi-medium,
medium and large holdings account for 20% of
the total holdings and their operational land
holding is 56% out of the total operational area.
The average size of operational holding is 1.36
hectares. The declining size of land holdings is
making a large number of farm families
economically unviable.
(iv) Distribution of Inputs: For Kharif 2019, the
State Government had projected the
requirement of 22.75 lakh tonnes of different
grades of fertilizers. The State received 20.32
Lakh tonnes of different grades of fertilizers by
the end of Kharif 2019. For Rabi/ summer 2019-
20, the State Government had projected the
requirement of 21.67 lakh tonnes of different
grades of fertilizers and the State has received so
far, 8.93 lakh tonnes of different grades of
fertilizers up to 20th January 2020. The State
Government operated the Buffer Stocking of
Fertilizers to overcome the scarcity of fertilizers
at critical times.
The State Government provides Certified /
Quality seeds to the farmers at subsidized rates
under State sectors Seeds Supply and other
investments Scheme. During Kharif 2019, 4.33
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
lakh quintal seeds were distributed to 13.86 lakh
farmers and Rs.103.89 crore subsidy amount
was utilized. During Rabi and Summer 2.60 lakh
quintals seeds have been distributed to 4.22
lakh farmers by utilizing Rs.61.23 crore subsidy
amount up to end of December 2019.
(v) Watershed Development: The total
geographical area of State is 190.50 lakh
hectares, out of which 129.70 lakh hectares area
is available for watershed interventions. So for
69.85 lakh hectares rainfed area is brought
under watershed interventions. The remaining
area of 59.85 lakh hectares is planned for
scientific watershed interventions in a phased
manner. Karnataka State watershed
development approach/ interventions have been
widely acknowledged for its effective
implementation, community participation and
use of scientific tools. Scientific implementation
of soil and water conservation programmes in
the watershed area has resulted in several
benefits such as reduction in soil erosion,
improvement in the groundwater table,
improvement in crop productivity, crop
diversification, enhanced availability of fodder,
fuel, drinking water for domestic animals and
water for protective irrigation during critical crop
growth period.
(vi) Agricultural Marketing: The State has 162
Agricultural Produce Market Committees
(APMC's) to facilitate and regulate the marketing
of agricultural commodities. The APMCs are
managed by an elected Managing Committees.
The department aims to develop and regulate
participative, transparent and scientific
agricultural marketing system with adequate
infrastructure and user-friendly e-initiatives in
the state.
An online trading system is now introduced in
160 markets so far. Up to the end of December-
2019, totally 50.94 lakh farmers have registered
their names so far, for participating at Unified
Marketing Platform. Through online platform,
6.68 Crore MTs of Agricultural Commodities
worth Rs.1,67,220 Crores have been transacted
up to December 2019.
1.7.2 Horticulture
Horticulture has proved to be the best
diversification option for agricultural land use in
Karnataka, because of assured and the
remunerative returns to the farmers. Karnataka
is the first State in the country to establish a
separate Horticulture Department. It has
contributed more than one third share to the
economy of agriculture and allied sectors. In
2017-18, Horticulture crop covers an area of
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
20.63 lakh hectares and the annual production
is 185.20 lakh Metric Tons. The average
productivity of horticultural crops in the State is
8.98 Metric Tons per hectare. The annual value
of Horticultural products produced in the State
is Rs.44,879 crore which constitutes 32.45% of
the total income from entire agriculture sector.
The share of Horticultural produces in total
GSDP of the state is 3.39%.
4.15 lakh hectares fruits, 4.83 lakh hectares
vegetables, 2.21 lakh hectares spice crops, 9.10
lakh hectares garden plantation, 0.31 lakh
commercial flowers, 0.01 lakh hectares
medicinal plants and 0.02 lakh hectares
aromatic crops are covered out of 20.63 lakh
hectares cultivated during 2017-18
Since inception till 2019-20 (up to November-
2019), an area of 6.57 lakh hectares has been
brought under Micro Irrigation by providing
subsidy of Rs.2575.86 crores for 5.82 lakh
farmers who have installed Drip/ Sprinkler for
Horticulture.
In order to enrich theoretical, practical and
creative knowledge among the rural youth, a
horticulture training Institute was established in
the year 1995-96 in Lalbagh Bengaluru.
Currently, there are 11 training centers
functioning. Every year about 400- 450 Farmer's
children are being trained in this center.
The State Government is implementing National
Horticulture Mission effectively as a
subcomponent of Mission for Integrated
Development of Horticulture (MIDH). Several
initiatives are undertaken under NHM and other
Programmes to boost the growth in this sector.
The major initiatives include 1) Area expansion

During 2019-20, an amount of Rs. 133613.72
lakh has been allocated for the various
programmes of the departmental activities.
1.7.3 Animal Husbandry and Dairy
Development
The Livestock sector plays vital role in
development of rural economy of the State. In
11
Karnataka majority of the population is
dependent on Agriculture, animal husbandry
and dairy activities. To provide health care to the
animals and for improvement and development
of breeds of animals, various programmes are
implemented successfully by the Department of
Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services
through its institutional network.
During 2018-19, the share of Animal Husbandry
in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of
Agriculture and Allied activities was 20.07 per
cent. As per the 19th Livestock Census, the
share of Karnataka in all India livestock and
poultry population was5.41 per centand 7.33
per cent respectively. The density of live stock in
the state was estimated at 151.21 per sq.km and
47468 per lakh human population.
The Karnataka Co-operative Milk Federation has
been formed on Co-operative basis which has
three tier systems-Milk cooperative societies at
primary level, Cooperative unions at district level
and Federation at state level. The organization
has the responsibility of providing remunerative
price and market to the rural milk producers of
the state and supplying quality milk and milk
products to the consumers.

2019-20, an amount of Rs. 28296.14 lakh has
been allocated for the various programmes of the
departmental activities.
1.7.5 Food and Nutrition
To attain the sustainable development goal of
Zero hunger (SDG-2) it is essential to ensure food
and nutrition security. The Public Distribution
System (PDS) is evolved as a system of
management of scarcity and for distribution of
food grains at affordable prices in Karnataka.
There are 19885 Fair Price Shops (FPS) covering
the revenue villages. Annabhagya is a major
scheme introduced combined with National
Food Security Act -2013 (NFSA) to accomplish
the objective of hunger free State. From the Year
2017-18, each member of priority
household(PHH) is being distributed 7 kgs food
grains and Anthyaodaya Anna Yojane (AAY)
households are given 35 kgs food grains at free of
cost. There are 1.31 crore PDS card holders in
the State (upto November 2019) which
constitutes 3.93 crore beneficiaries under Public
Distribution System.
Many measures have been introduced to
improve access, convenience, efficiency and
transparency under the scheme. For the first
time in the country, state government has
introduced innovative schemes such as the free
SMS system to the card holders to know the
entitlement of quantity of food articles and the
amount to be paid to Fair Price Shops (FPS). A
reward scheme has also been introduced to
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
identify ineligible ration cards with active
participation of general public. Department
introduces Intra and Inter-state portability, so
that any beneficiary can avail their entitlement
in any Fair Price shop in the state as well as
outside the state.
PDS is operated under the joint responsibility of
the Central and the State Governments. The
Central Government, through Food Corporation
of India has assumed the responsibility for
procurement, storage, transportation and bulk
allocation of food grains to the State
Governments. Food and Civil Supplies
Department implements Targeted Public
Distribution System. The Padithara Khatari
Scheme, guarantees the availability of food
grains from the first of every month.
AHARAVANI” Toll free No. 1967 and 1800 425
9339 facility has been provided to receive
complaints with regard to the distribution of food
grains under Annabhagya scheme.
Computerization and Digitization of records has
ensured transparency in the system.
Annabhagya Adalat has been introduced from
01.06.2014 to address the public grievances.
The Department of Food and Civil Supplies has a
digitized database of all ration cards. In order to
curb irregularities in the Fair Price Shops,
Electronic Weighing-cum point of Sale Machines
(E-POS) having special features were installed in
3877 fair price shops in the State.
The Department has introduced Mukhya Mantri
Anila Bhagya scheme to make the state kerosene
free and to provide safe fuel to the households.
Presently, a target of 10 lakh beneficiaries has
been fixed for the scheme. As on 14-11-2019
about 3.25 lakh applications have been received,
of which action has been taken to distribute
96,753 gas stoves to the beneficiaries upto the
November-2019. Punarbelaku scheme is being
implemented to the rural ration card holders by
giving rechargeable LED bulb costing Rs.300.
The State efforts have thus contributed
significantly to provide food and nutrition
security for the poor in the State.

generated from these industries are treated and
disposed as per the norms of the board. The
policy of the board is to ensure that, the
industrial effluents are treated to the standards
prescribed by the KSPCB and to use the treated
effluent for Secondary purposes, within the
industry as far as possible and for irrigation/
gardening/green-beltdevelopment and cons-
truction purpose. The Board has established “Air
Care Cell” to monitor the online emission/
effluent Parameters/on continuous basis and
send alerts to the industries, in case of
exceedances, by the way of issuing directions
and refusing the consent.
The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board is
monitoring the quality of water sources in the
State. Water samples from lakes, rivers, ponds,
bore wells, open wells and sea are analysed for
monitoring the water quality. CPCB has
specified water quality criteria depending on the
designated best use and activities in the river
and classified it as five categories namely, Class
A,B,C,D & E. The Board has analysed 90,394

1.10 EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR WELFARE
There is a close nexus between poverty and
unemployment. Therefore, employment
generation becomes important in the context of
achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of
eradicating poverty and hunger. In the policy
context the most critical factor that impinges on
labour supply is the Labour Force Participation
Rate (LFPR).
(a) Labour / Work force Participation: The
LFPR for persons aged 15 years and above
according to UPSS status approach is 51.6% in
Karnataka, whereas this is 49.8% for India. It is
77.8% for males and the gender gap is 51.8
percent. Among comparable states, lowest rate is
in Kerala and the highest rate is in Andhra
Pradesh. This rate is 80.5% for males in rural
Karnataka, which is the highest among the
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
comparable States. With regards to urban
female group it is 22.8% which is third lowest
among comparable States and it is more than the
all India rate of 20.4%.
(b) Worker Population Ratio (WPR): WPR under
UPSS approach for Karnataka is 49.1% which is
more than all India average of 46.8%. This rate is
more in Andhra Pradesh (57.2%) followed by
Tamil Nadu (51.0%) and Telangana (49.8%).
However, it is less in Kerala (41.2%) and Gujarat
(47.4%). The Highest WPR in Karnataka is 77.2%
for rural male and for female it is 27.2%. Both are
more than the all India average of 72.0% and
23.7% respectively. For urban male it is 69.2%
and for urban female it is 21.2% for which the all
India average is 69.3% and 18.2% respectively.
The state average for male and female worker
population ratios are 74.0% and 24.8% which
are higher than all India average.
(c) Unemployment: Under UPSS approach,
Unemployment Rate (UR) of Karnataka is 4.8%
for all persons both urban and rural put together
which is less compared to Unemployment Rate of
India (6.0%). This rate is lowest in Andhra
pradesh (4.5%) whereas it is highest in Kerala
(11.4%). In Karnataka, the unemployment rate
in the rural areas is 4.0% for males and 3.4% for
females. Whereas in urban areas, it is 6.3% for
males and for females it is 7.2%. At all India level,
for males in rural areas it is 5.7% and for females
it is 3.8% and these are lower than all India
average of urban areas.
(d) Distribution of Workers According to Work
Conditions (UPSS Approach): The highest
numbers of persons are self-employed (47.8%).
This is followed by casual labourers with 26.8%
and wage earners with 25.4%. The State has
more number of casual workers than the
National average of 24.9% and wage earners of
22.8%. Among the total working force, self-
employed and casual labourers account for
74.6%. This raises the concern about
sustainable livelihood opportunities for these
workers.
(e) Employment Exchange Statistics
The number of job seekers as per the live register
figures of employment exchanges was 3.46 lakh
as on November-2019 compared to 3.43 lakh at
the end of March-2019, an increase of 0.7
percent. There is an increase of 5.8% in Post
Graduates, 3.3% in Matriculates' and
Stenographers, and 1.8% in Graduates.
(f) State Government Initiatives
The higher rates of Labour Force Participaton
Rate (LFPR) and low rates of unemployment are
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
due to significant interventions by Government
of Karnataka in capacity building and Self
employment and wage employment
programmes. The implementation of projects for
promotion of social security for unorgonised
workers, labour laws, and maintenance of
industrial relations and management of
industrial safety have helped to promote labour
welfare.
1.11. ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE
1.11.1 Power Sector
Karnataka State has been experiencing
conditions of power shortage because of the ever-
growing demand for power influenced by the
rapid economic progress. The State Government
has taken various initiatives to implement
projects in public as well as private sectors for
adding new installed capacities for power
generation and has also introduced power sector
reforms.
The total installed generation capacity both in
the public sector and the private sector including
the state's share in the Central Generation
Stations (CGS) up to November 2019 is 29884.50
MW, which is 11.33 % higher than that in the
same period of the previous year. The installed
capacity in the public sector is 12979 MW
(43.43%) (including CGS allocation) and the
private sector's share is 16905.50 MW (56.57%).
It may be observed that out of the total installed
capacity of 29884.50 MW, the renewable energy
including mini hydel and cogeneration accounts
for 14761.20 MW with a share of 49.39%. The
contribution from wind power is the third
highest at 4817.84 MW after coal thermal and
solar power.
The addition to the installed capacity during
2018-19 was 2705.54 MW, of which 1253.06
MW was under renewable energy. During
2019-20 (up to Nov.2019), though the capacity
addition under renewable energy is 1183.83
MW, the net addition to the total installed
capacity is 1143.83 MW because the CGS
allocation is reduced.
The peak demand met during 2018-19 was
12881 MW and in 2019-20, the anticipated peak
demand is around 13796 MW. The Generation of
electricity during the current year is 33496.45
MU up to November 2019. The total power
generation in 2018-19 was 51184.31 MU as
against 43546.30 MU in 2017-18, which
constitutes 17.5% increase. The Hydro: Thermal
mix in generation in public sector is in the ratio
of about 1:2. Karnataka has successfully
encouraged private sector investments in power
generation from non-conventional or renewable
17
energy sources of generation. There were a few
major Independent Private Power Producers
(IPPs) in the State, who contributed 15721.67
MW to installed capacity during 2018-19.
Karnataka's power sector has reduced its
Transmission & Distribution losses from 22% (in
2009-10) to 16.16% by 2018-19, which will
further be reduced to 15% by March 2020. The
Aggregate Technical & Commercial losses during
2009-10 was 23%, which was brought down to
15.27% in 2018-19.
To improve distribution of power, two Central
Sector Schemes are being implemented, viz.
Integrated Power Development Scheme and
Deena Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana. In
the year 2018-19, agricultural sector accounted
for the highest share of electricity consumed
with a share of 38.98% and domestic sector
occupied second position with a share of
22.14%. All the villages in the State have been
electrified.
The cost of supply of free power to agricultural
sector & Bhagya Jyoti/Kuteera Jyoti
connections has been provided by the State
Government through subsidy. The subsidy
provided by the State Government during
2018-19 was Rs. 9250 crore and in 2019-20
(Upto November 2019) it is Rs.7285.96 crore.
The increasing subsidy burden has remained as
a challenge to the State.
Rural Energy: Based on the cattle population in
the State, 6.80 lakh biogas plants can be
constructed, of which, up to November 2019,
4.59 lakh biogas plants have been constructed.
Beneficiaries are selected at Grama Panchayat
level under 'New National Biogas and Organic
Manure Programme'. Biofuel activities are being
implemented under 'The Karnataka Biofuel
Policy-2009' through Karnataka State Biofuel
Development Board.
To provide a big push to exploitation of solar
energy, the Government has published its Solar
Policy for 2014-2021. Around 12,900 acres of
land has been obtained on lease basis from
farmers for establishing world's largest 2050 MW
capacity Solar Park in Pavagada Taluk of
Tumakuru District. In this Solar Park, 1950 MW
capacity projects have been commissioned up to
the end of November 2019. Action is being taken
for early commissioning of remaining 100 MW
capacity projects.
The State is formulating effective demand and
supply strategies to overcome the energy
shortage in the state. As per 'SDG India Index &
Dashboard 2019-20', Karnataka is placed at 7th
position in the country in Sustainable
18

(g) Telecommunications
The overall teledensity of the State (i.e. number
of telephone connections per 100 population) is
109.64, which is higher than the national
20
average of 90.11. There is also a wide gap
between rural and urban teledensity. The rural
teledensity as on June -2019 stood at 61.69,
while the urban teledensity was 181.71. The
number of landline connections has declined
significantly. The decline in landlines can be
partly attributed due to increased private
participation in the mobile telephony sector and
switchover to mobile phones. The trends in
postal services suggest that there is a sudden
decline in the total number of postoffices for the
year 2018-19. This may be due to merger of
postoffices in urban areas.
1.11.3 Banking and Finance including Co-
operatives

agricultural loans.
1.12 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
1.12.1 Education
Karnataka has been a fast growing economy due
to the large knowledge base of the society, which
can certainly be attributed to significant
achievements and reforms in education sector.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
(a) Literacy: The literacy rate in Karnataka has
increased to 75.36 per cent in 2011 from 66.64
per cent in 2001 exhibiting significant
achievement. Urban male literacy rate has
crossed 90 per cent, however, rural female
literacy rate is yet to cross 60 per cent. The
literacy rank of the State was 9th among 16 major
States (States with a population of more than
100 lakh) during 2001 and the same is
continued even in 2011.
(b) School Education (Elementary and
Secondary): School education in Karnataka is
imparted through Lower Primary Schools (class I
to V), Higher Primary Schools (class I to VII / VIII)
and High Schools (VIII to X). The Education
Department participation in elementary
education is significant with 85.42 percent in the
lower and 59.24 percent in higher primary
schools being managed by the Department.
However, Department's participation is low in
secondary education with only 28.12 percent of
the high schools being managed by the
Government. While the Government schools are
mainly located in rural areas, private schools are
largely urban based. There are 62319
Elementary schools in the State, of which 24316
are LPS and 38003 are HPS during 2019-20. The
State Rules under the RTE Act were notified in
2011. Over the years, the enrolment has
increased marginally in the primary stage.
Enrolment during 2019-20 in primary (class I to
V) and in upper primary (class VI to VIII) stage is
estimated to be 54.33 lakh and 31.24 lakh
respectively. The number of SC / ST children in
class I to VII in the State is 20.18 lakh. During
2019-20, GER and NER at lower primary are
103.80 and 96.40 respectively and at higher
primary stage, they are 99.60 and 79.16
respectively. The dropout rate for LPS and HPS
during the year2019-20 is 1.93% and 2.94%
respectively. As against the sanctioned posts of
3.16 lakh teachers, 2.82 lakh teachers are
working in the LPSs and HPSs during 2019-20.
The average Pupil-Teacher Ratio is 1:26 at the
elementary stage.
With significant gains in primary education, the
State has set in motion the planning process for
universalisation of secondary education to
achieve the target of 85% enrolment in 14-18 age
group in classes 9 to 12. The State has a total of
16808 secondary schools of which 4726 schools
are run by the Department of Education, 300
schools by Social Welfare and Urban Local
Bodies, 3788 by aided managements, 7265 by
private unaided managements and 729 by
others. The concentration of the secondary
schools in the private unaided sector may be one
of the reasons for the low access of children from
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
marginalized groups to higher education. Out of
8.78 lakh girls students enrolled in high schools
during 2019-20, 34.62 percent are enrolled in
Govt. High schools and 65.38 percent of them
study in aided/unaided/other schools. As

teachers in the secondary schools, 38401 are
working in Govt. schools, which constitutes
36%.
(c) Pre-University Education: As per the report
of the Education Commission (1964-66), the
State has adopted the 10+2+3 pattern of
education since 1971-72. All colleges imparting
PU education come under the purview of the
Directorate. The PU-course provides for two
languages and four electives, which are to be
selected from a wide range of subjects classified
under three different subject combinations –
Arts, Science and Commerce. The Government
participation is more in PU-education. It is
observed that there is an attrition of around
11.50% between I and II years of PU-education.
During 2019-20, 6.52 lakh students are enrolled
for Pre-University Education.
(d) Collegiate and Technical Education: The
Department of Collegiate Education oversees the
administration of 430 Government First Grade
Colleges and 319 Private aided colleges affiliated

Kalaburagi. The number of students enrolled in
graduation in both government and aided
institutions during 2019-20 are 5.16 lakh. The
average strength in each government college is
765 and each aided degree colleges is 585. The
Male Female Ratio is 43:57 in favour of girls. This
is a welcoming trend. Enrolment in Science
courses is also very poor.
In 2018-19 there were 530 institutes across the
State ranging from Degree to Diploma, Junior
Technical Schools /Colleges. In order to provide
the Human Resources and enhance the teaching
efficiency of the staff, the teaching faculties have
been deputed to seek higher education and also
improve their skills through short term training

Karnataka is steadily advancing towards
attaining gender equality- an agenda under
SDG-5. However, there are certainly still many
areas like literacy, education, employment,
political participation and violence against
women, etc., where the stark gender differences
are still prevailing with significantly high level of
female disadvantage factors (FDF). They need to
be addressed with greater focus to ensure gender
equality. The Gender Inequality index is high in
the districts of North Karnataka.
The Third Gender Community or the Trans-
genders' Community has been a most neglected
section of the society. There is lack of adequate
data about the population of the community;
their occupation, livelihood etc. Their issues are
very unique and of genuine concern and hence
they must not be relegated to the backyard.
Scheme like Maitri have been promoted for their
livelihood. The Karnataka Government has
released the “Karnataka State Transgenders-
Policy 2017” in December 2017 to provide
Infrastructure, Health, Education Housing and
Livelihoods to transgender people in partnership
with various departments. However, still more
concrete and concerted efforts are needed to
ensure their development.

2019. As against 7108, approved works
3546 have been completed.
1.15 EVALUATION OF GOVERNMENT
PROGRAMMES/SCHEMES
Karnataka was one of the first States in the
Country to evolve an Evaluation Policy in 2000.
Karnataka Evaluation Authority (KEA) was set
up in July 2011 and registered as a Society in
September 2011. The vision of the Karnataka
Evaluation Policy of 2011 is to have a
transparent, effective and efficient Practice of
evaluation of Government's development
policies and programmes for optimal use of
resources for maximizing the intended and
measurable outcomes and citizen satisfaction.
KEA has completed 137 Evaluation Studies and
the findings of these studies have helped the
Departments to take up necessary corrections in
the implementation mechanism to achieve
desired outcomes. At present 70 studies are in
progress. 40 Evaluation Consultant Organi-
zations are empaneled, and 13 independent
assessors are on the panel for assessment of the
evaluation reports and their grading. There are
42 subject experts who assist KEA in technical
and evaluation matters.
New Initiatives
Internship Programme is implemented in the
line departments, Corporations, Boards, Bodies,
Authorities of Government of Karnataka. KEA is
the nodal agency for coordinating and
implementing the Internship Programme. KEA
has established links with foreign universities
for expert advice for evaluation studies
KEA is engaging with State Universities in
Evaluation studies to enhance their capacities in
research and evaluation. Out of 50 evaluation
studies to be taken up in coming year, 25 will be
29
done through Universities. Guidelines are
prepared to take up various studies through
Universities. KEA also has provided support to
Planning department for establishing a
Sustainable Development Goals Coordination
Centre for localization of SDG goals and for
designing the strategy and action plans for
achieving SDGs by 2030 and has designed to
develop knowledge partnership with Centre for
Open Data Research.
KEA is now involved in preparation of Bruhat
Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Human
Development report. KEA is also coordinating in
Transformation of Raichur and Yadgir
Aspirational Districts in Karnataka. KEA has
supported the other Initiatives of NITI Aayog-
India Innovation Index, Ease of Doing Business
Index, Ease of Living Index etc.
The evaluation studies have helped the
Departments to make necessary corrections in
guidelines, implementation procedures. A study
on Fodder situation has recommended for fodder
security policy, a malnutrition study has
recommended for a Nutrition Policy, evaluation
of Bhagya-lakshmi scheme has suggested for
change in guidelines.
KEA intends to take up in-house studies to build
the capacity of young research staff. It will also
develop a real time data collection and
monitoring system for ensuring that field
realities are captured in evaluation reports.
It will initiate the process of preparation of
Output - Outcome analysis document for
Central and different State Govt. Schemes and
support the Sustainable Development Goals
coordination Centre in designing the strategies,
action plans and localization of SDGs to achieve
the set targets of SDGs 2030.
1.16 SKILL DEVELOPMENT,
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND
LIVELIHOOD
In accordance with the National Skill
Development Policy the State Government has
also approved a Skill Development Policy with an
objective of providing suitable skill training for
25 lakhs job seekers by 2020-30 and to provide
them placement. A separate Department in the
name of department of Skill Development,
Entrepreneurship and Livelihood was
established in 2016. Under this department the
following wings are functioning:
r Industrial Training Institutes and Multi
Skill Development Centres
r Karnataka Skill DevelopmentAuthority
30
r Commissionerate of Industrial Training and
Employment
r Centre for Entrepreneurship Development
of Karnataka (CEDoK)
r Government Tool Room & Training Centre
(GTTC)
r Karnataka German Multi Skill Development
Corporation,
r National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM)
r National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM)
r Karnataka Skill Development Corporation
The main objective of the skill department is to
conduct surveys and identify the skill gaps and
to train the youths in the respective trades and to
work as nodal department in providing jobs and
placements. In this direction these wings
carryout the instructions and implement the
Government Orders. The implementation of the
programmes is taken up with the budget share of
Central and State Governments. To accomplish
the desired objectives of State skill policy, the
State established Karnataka Vocational Training
and Skill Development Corporation (KVTSDC)
under the companies Act'1956, with a target of
imparting skills and employment to 12.5 lakhs
persons in the succeeding five years from
inception. KVTSDC and Skill Mission has been
proactively following the agenda of skill
development in the State. The skill development
and entrepreneurship development programmes
are undertaken under DeenDayal National Rural
Livelihood Mission, DAY-NULM, SANJEEVINI-
KSRLPS, CEDOK etc. For dissemination,
motivation and promotion of self employment
Disha Guidance Cells are established in 16
districts. From 2008-09 to 2018-19 nearly
176524 persons have been procured jobs
through melas. During the year 2019-20 for the
period upto November 35,808 persons have been
trained in various skill trades. Under
Community Investment Fund an amount of
Rs.44.56 crore has been disbursed. During
2019-20 nearly 338162 SHGs have been credit
linked with banks, with loan amount of Rs.
2849.90 crore. To provide authentic
information, guidance training and recruitment
for overseas employment the State has
established International Migration Centre
–Karnataka. The skilled persons in the areas of
construction, carpentry, Electrician trade etc.,
can be sent to the needy nations where such
trades have more demand in countries like
France, Indonesia, Italy where the birth rate is
very low and the population in working age group
is very less. For this, IMC-K wing is taking
initiatives to send suitable proposals to the
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Government of India, through the Government of
Karnataka.
The basic challenges are that many programmes
like awareness, training etc., are implemented in
PPP mode involving Self help groups and NGOs.
A suitable mechanism for the monitoring of
these NGOs and Self help groups at district and
taluk level is established. The cooperation of the
Banks in providing the required loans to the
identified, trained entrepreneurs at appropriate
time has to be ensured to achieve the objective of
the schemes. The shortages of faculties in all
wings also need urgent attention. The skill
development mission in the State needs support
and cooperation from different stakeholders for
capacity building of the youths to seek job
opportunities in the global job markets and also
promote self employment for accomplishing the
aspirations of youths and utilization of their
talents and capacities.
1.17 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
(SDGs)
SDGs address the root causes of poverty and
initiate efforts to make a positive change both for
people and planet. Poverty eradication is at the
heart of the 2030 Agenda and so is the
commitment “to leave no-one behind”. In
nutshell it is the universal, inclusive and
indivisible Agenda which calls for action by all
participating countries to improve the lives of the
people and the planet. While the SDG goals and
targets set a global context, they have been
designed in a way so that they can be adapted
locally to meet the specific challenges. SDGs
address multi dimensions of development viz;
Economic, Social and Environmental aspects of
development.
Karnataka has been actively working towards
spreading awareness about SDGs. This involves
disaggregated data from the districts and district
specific targets are set to ensure the effective and
efficient implementation of SDGs by District
Planning Committees (DPC).
The seventeen SDGs are:-
Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere;
Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and
improved nutrition and promote sustainable
agriculture; Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and
promote well-being for all at all ages; Goal 4.
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality
education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all; Goal 5. Achieve gender
equality and empower all women and girls; Goal
6. Ensure availability and sustainable
management of water and sanitation for all;
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable,
sustainable and modern energy for all; Goal 8.
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable
economic growth, full and productive
employment and decent work for all; Goal 9.
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive
and sustainable industrialization and foster
innovation; Goal 10. Reduce inequality within
and among countries; Goal 11. Make cities and
human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable; Goal 12. Ensure sustainable
consumption and production patterns; Goal 13.
Take urgent action to combat climate change
and its impacts; Goal 14. Conserve and
sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine
resources for sustainable development; Goal 15.
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage
forests, combat desertification, and halt and
reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity
loss; Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive
societies for sustainable development, provide
access to justice for all and build effective,
accountable and inclusive institutions at all
levels; Goal 17. Strengthen the means of
31
implementation and revitalize the Global
Partnership for Sustainable Development. The
government is ensuring investments across all
sectors towards achieving SDGs, through
scheme and budget mapping. Mainstreaming
Resource efficiency approach and convergence
strategy in the outcome based development
pathway would go a long way in achieving SDG
Targets by 2030
The 16 Goal Committees have prepared
strategies and action plans to achieve SDGs by
2030. The Goal Committees have identified
around 600 indicators in the State Indicator
Framework which contains 235 national
indicators. The Goal Committes have also done
scheme mapping for each of the SDGs and
projected year-wise budget requirement under
SDGs upto 2030.
The State has formed the Monitoring and
Coordination Committee and the State level
Steering Committee for formulation of effective
and efficient action plans for achieving the
SDGs.

 STATE INCOME AND PRICES
INTRODUCTION
Karnataka is a state of diverse cultures and
languages and the economic and social
scenario within the State, in many ways,
mirrors the scenario prevalent in the
country itself. Located in the southern part
of India, along its northern borders lie the
states of Maharashtra and Goa; Andhra
Pradesh and Telangana to the east; Tamil
Nadu and Kerala to the south, while the
Arabian Sea forms the western boundary.
Karnataka has an area of 1,91,791 sq. kms.
which constitutes 5.83 per cent of the total
geographical area and population of
6,10,95,297 accounts for 5.05 per cent of
country's population in 2011. Karnataka is,
in terms of population, the ninth largest
state among India's 28 major states and 8
union territories. The state is becoming
steadily urbanised. In terms of
urbanization, the state has witnessed an
increase of 4.68 per cent in the proportion of
urban population in the last decade. 61.33
per cent are rural residents and 38.67 per
cent are urban residents. It has a larger
proportion of its population living in urban
areas, than the average for the country as a
whole.
This chapter analyses Karnataka's
economic growth in terms of changes in
Aggregate and Per Capita State Income
including stability of prices in the indices of
wholesale as well as retail prices in the
entire state. In addition, this chapter also
provides an analysis of District Income
Estimates along with related Inter-District
Variations.
2.1 STATE ECONOMY
2.1.1 Gross State Domestic Product
Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is the
most important indicator in measuring
33
CHAPTER 2
economic growth of the State. It gives an
overall picture of the state of the economy.
This would enable the policy makers,
administrators and planners for proper
formulation and appraisal of plans for
balanced economic development. Analysis
of this indicator at aggregate and
disaggregated levels leads to the insights of
patterns and sources of growth.
The State Domestic Product is defined as the
“aggregate of the economic value of all goods
and services produced within the
geographical boundaries of the State,
counted without duplication, for a specified
period of time” by convention: a financial
year.
2.1.2 Overview for 2019-20
Karnataka has released the Advance
estimates of GSDP for the year 2019-20. The
GSDP at current prices is estimated to
attain Rs.16,99,115 crore at a growth rate of
10.0% and Rs.12,01,031 crore with an
expected growth of 6.8% at constant
(2011-12) prices.
2.1.3 Comparison of Gross State
Domestic Product and Gross Domestic
Product
In 2019-20, the GSDP of Karnataka is
anticipated to grow at 6.8% whereas the
GDP at national level is 5.0% at constant
(2011-12) prices. At current prices, the
GSDP is anticipated to reach Rs.16,99,115
crore with a growth of 10.0% and GDP is
likely to attain a level of Rs.2,04,42,233
crore with a growth rate of 7.5%.The share of
Karnataka's GSDP in All India GDP is 8.3%
during 2019-20.

2.1.4 Comparison between Advance
Estimates of 2019-20 and First Revised
Estimates of 2018-19
The Gross State Domestic Product of
Karnataka at constant (2011-12) prices for
the year is anticipated to grow by 6.8%.The
GSVA growth rate of agriculture sector has
increased to 3.9% in 2019-20 compared to
(-)1.6% in 2018-19. The rise in agriculture
sector in 2019-20 is on account of increase
in foodgrain production from 128 lakh
tonnes to 136 lakh tonnes, oilseeds
production from 51 lakh tonnes to 56 lakh

tonnes when compared to 2018-19. remaining services) with 11.2%,Real Estate,

Similarly, in livestock sector, milk
production is anticipated to increase from
79 lakh tonnes to 88 lakh tonnes, egg
production from 54 lakh numbers to 59 lakh
numbers and meat production from 1.1
lakh tonnes to 1.27 lakh tonnes. Fish
production has also boosted in 2019-20
(marine fish 3.6 to 4 lakh tonnes, inland fish
1.9 to 2.5 lakh tonnes) compared to 2018-
19. The industry sector (comprising mining
& quarrying, manufacturing, construction
and electricity, gas & water supply) is
expected to grow by 4.8% in 2019-20 against
a growth of 5.6 % during 2018-19. Service
sector is expected to grow by 7.9% during
2019-20 compared to growth of 9.8% during
2018-19. Service sector is a major
contributor of overall GSDP of the state as
the share of private corporate sector to this
sector is significantly higher compared to
other sectors. In 2019-20, Other services
sector (Education, Health and other
Professional Services & Ownership of
Dwellings with 8.6%, Public Administration
with 8.0%, Trade and Repair Services with
6.5% growth are the major contributors of
service sector to achieve the overall state
economy growth rate. While preparing the
Advance estimates of service sectors, All
India growth rate is adopted due to
inadequacy of data at the state level. Hence,
the service sector growth has reduced
compared to previous year.
Whereas, the First Advance Estimates of All
India Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at
constant (2011-12) prices for the year
2019-20 is expected to grow at 5.0%. The
sectoral growth rate of Agriculture, Industry
and Services at all India are anticipated to
grow at 2.8%, 2.5% and 6.9% respectively.
The comparative table of sectoral Growth
Rates of GSDP for 2018-19 and 2019-20 are

2.1.5 Net State Domestic Product 2.1.6. Sectoral Composition of Gross

The estimates of Net State Domestic
Product (NSDP) are derived from the Gross
State Domestic Product (GSDP) by
deducting Consumption of Fixed Capital
(CFC) or Depreciation. For the year 2019-20
at current prices, NSVA growth of
agriculture & allied activities, industry and
service sectors are expected at 7.8%, 5.8%
and 11.5% respectively which has lead the
NSDP to Rs.15,50,297 crore, showing a
growth of 10.0% against 13.8% in 2018-19.
Similarly at constant (2011-12) prices the
NSDP is estimated at Rs.10,85,599 crore
showing a growth of 6.8% (Table 2.4).The
NSVA growth of Agriculture & allied
activities, Industry and Service sectors are
expected to be 4.0%, 4.8% and 7.9%
respectively.
Figure 2.1 shows the GSDP, NSDP and CFC
at current prices from 2011-12 to 2019-20.
The difference in GSDP and NSDP indicates
the extent of consumption of fixed capital or
depreciation.
State Domestic Product
The contribution of Agriculture and
Industry sector to the overall GSDP (from
11.18% to 10.97% and 23.67% to 22.84%,
respectively) saw a marginal decrease in
2019-20 against 2018-19. The services
sector a largest component of GSDP saw a
marginal increase from 65.15% in 2018-19
to 66.19% in 2019-20. The contribution of
'Real estate, Professional Services &
Ownership of Dwellings' is highest with
(35.31%) in 2019-20 followed by
'Manufacturing (15.32%)', 'Trade and Repair
Services (9.51%)' and 'Crops (7.44%)'.
The sectoral composition of GSDP in
2018-19 and 2019-20 at current prices is
given in Table 2.5. The sectoral composition
of GSDP is shown in Figure 2.2 for primary,
secondary and tertiary sectors.

analyse sector-wise district estimates
between any two given points of time as
these estimates have not yet firmed up.
However, a brief description of the broader
sector-wise district estimates is given in
Appendix 2.6.
Bangalore Urban District stood first in the
total District Income as well as per capita
district income for the year 2017-18.
Bengaluru Urban District contributes
36.0% to GSDP at current Prices followed by
Dakshina Kannada (5.9%), Belagavi (4.5%).
At constant (2011-12) prices, contribution
of Belagavi district to the primary sector is
highest in 2017-18, due to a higher
contribution in crop sector. Bengaluru
Urban District tops in secondary and
tertiary sectors due to high concentration of
major industries and infrastructure
facilities.
The per capita income (in rupees) at current
prices for all 30 districts for the year
2017-18 is presented in Figure 2.4.
District income is also a measure of the level
and growth of economic development
prevailing in the district level. It is a useful
policy indicator to monitor the nature and
degree of inter-district variations as well as,
disparities in the process of economic
growth at the State level. A simple statistical
indicator of inter-district variations in the
levels of district income is the coefficient of
variation. Figure 2.5 shows these computed
values across the four divisions and at the
State level.
Figure 2.5 indicates the variations in gross
district and per capita district income
among the revenue regions (divisions) of the
State. The highest variation is evident with
respect to Bengaluru division, if Bengaluru

Urban District is included. Excluding
Bengaluru Urban district, these inter-
district variations in district income and per
capita district income, get remarkably
reduced at the division and State levels. The
growing inter-district variation is an
important indicator and a source of broader
inter-regional disparities in the process of
State's economic development. However, a
low coefficient of variation as such, does not

necessarily imply either a higher or a lower
district economic growth or regional
disparity.
It can be observed from Figure 2.6 that
Kalaburgi the revenue region (comprising
Ballari, Bidar, Kalaburgi, Koppal, Raichuru
and Yadagiri districts), stood lowest in the
per capita income. Kalaburgi region's per
capita income is less than half of the per
capita income of the Bengaluru region.

In India commonly used inflation indices are
the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and the
Consumer Price Index (CPI). As the name
indicates the WPI measures Price at the
wholesale level and CPI at the consumer
level. Beyond the basics, the number and
types of items included in the WPI and CPI
basket differ and so does the weights given
to these items. Food has a larger weight in
CPI than WPI, the CPIs are therefore more
sensitive to changes in prices of food items.
Whereas the fuel group has a much higher
weight in WPI than CPIs.
2.2.3 Wholesale Price Index
Wholesale Price Index measures the average
change in the prices of commodities for bulk
sale at the level of early stage of
transactions. The index basket of the WPI
covers commodities falling under the three
major groups namely Primary Articles, Fuel
and power and manufactured products.
All India Wholesale Price Index: This Index
is released by the Office of Economic Advisor
(OEA), Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and
Industry. The base year for this index is
2011-12=100. The index basket of the
present 2011-12 series has a total of 697
items including 117 items of Primary
Articles,16 items for Fuel and Power and
564 items for Manufactured Products. WPI
basket does not cover services.
Wholesale Price Index is used to estimate
inflation at the Wholesale transaction level.
It is also used for estimating GDP by Central
Statistical Organization (CSO). This index is
released every month at the National as well
as State level.
The details of annual all India wholesale
price index from April to November for the
consecutive years 2017-18, 2018-19 and
2019-20 are presented in Appendix 2.8 and

as a Barometer of inflation, a tool for
monitoring price stability. Also the Dearness
allowance of Government employees and
wage contracts between labour and
employer is based on this index.
2.2.4.1 Consumer Price Index for
Industrial Workers
The target group of CPI-IW is workers of
factories, mining, plantations, motor
transport, docks, railways & electricity. This
index is mainly used to determine the
dearness allowance for the employees in
both the public and private sectors. At the
National level, CPI (IW) for Central series is
constructed for 78 selected industrially
developed centres across the country, with 5

Karnataka
Directorate of Economics & Statistics,
Government of Karnataka, collects retail
prices of a basket of essential commodities
from selected centres in rural and urban
areas in order to assess the price situation in
the State. Rural retail prices are collected
every month and urban retail prices are
collected every week for the construction of
monthly Rural Retail Price Index Numbers
and Urban Retail Price Index Numbers. For
both these index numbers, the base year is
1970=100. These index numbers are based
on un-weighted diagram and focuses on
broad price trends in rural and urban areas,
to guide policy decisions.

2019-20 the URPI which was 3348 in April
2019 rose to 3971 in November 2019
showing an increase of 18.6%. The rise in
index is attributed to the increase in prices
of Onion (275 %), Potato (21.7%) and
Tur dal (16.25%). During this period

 FISCAL DEVELOPMENT
AND STATE FINANCES
Driven by various fiscal consolidation
measures, Karnataka has managed its
expenditure well even while enhancing its
revenues. The State's fiscal deficit has
decreased from 2.85% in 2018-19(RE) to
the level of 2.65% of GSDP in 2019-20(BE),
while the capital expenditure (outside
revenue account) has increased from
Rs.35920.93 crore in 2018-19(RE) to
Rs.40080.13 crore in 2019-20(BE). This
indicates that entire borrowings are
invested under capital outlay. The State's
revenue receipts have increased to
Rs.181862.96 crore in 2019-20(BE) from
Rs.165896.96 crore in 2018-19 (RE). The
State continues to have an overall revenue
surplus, albeit at reduced levels. In 2019-20
(BE) development expenditure has
increased to Rs.165826.18 crore compared
to Rs.154957.43 crore in 2018-19(RE).
Nontax-revenues has increased from
Rs.7287.08 crore in 2018-19(RE) to
Rs.8055.41 crore in 2019-20(BE). Social

3.1 FISCAL CONSOLIDATION
The State's fiscal consolidation efforts have
continued to be effective with all the fiscal
indicators contained within the stipulated
limits of the Karnataka Fiscal Responsibility
Act, 2002 (KFRA). The State has chosen on
its own volition to bring in fiscal discipline in
the management of its finances. The
Government has been maintaining revenue
surplus since 2004-05, as mandated by the
KFRA. State has always maintained fiscal
prudence as one of its policy goals. Over the
last several years, the fiscal deficit could
also be maintained within 3% of GSDP as
mandated by the KFRA prompted by the
Government of India. Time trends in fiscal
and revenue deficits for the period 2014-15
to 2019-20(BE) are presented in Figure 3.1.

3.2 KARNATAKA VIS-A-VIS-OTHER 3.3 STATE FINANCES

STATES
Over the years, the State's major fiscal
indicators continue to compare well with the
'all states' average. This is reflected in the
information on various fiscal indicators
presented in Table 3.1. The State has
achieved revenue surplus consistently.
Further, the State has capital outlay of
86.50% in the GFD as compared 110.54% of
all States average in 2018-19(BE). The fact
that the almost entire fiscal deficit devoted
to Capital Expenditure is welcome as it
helps sustain rapid growth. However, the
State has a challenging task of restoring the
surpluses achieved in the recent past to
enable higher infrastructure investments.
Other important expenditure indicators
such as proportion of State Tax Revenue in
the Revenue Expenditure and Non-
development Expenditure in Aggregate
Disbursements place Karnataka in a better
position compare to All States.
A comparative perspective of Karnataka's
fiscal deficit with other Southern states is
presented in Figure 3.2.
The State's fiscal consolidation efforts have
been largely revenue led owing to the tax
reforms and toning up of tax administration
that have yielded buoyant revenue since
the enactment of the FRA. The State's
revenue receipts have increased from
Rs.104142.15 crore in 2014-15 to
Rs.181862.96 crore in 2019-20(BE) (Table
3.2).
On the expenditure front, capital outlay
(outside the revenue account) as percent of
GSDP has increased from 2.86 % in 2014-15
to 2.93 % in 2019-20(BE). However, this
poses a great challenge and it is a matter of
concern for Karnataka due to the
infrastructure inadequacies prevailing in
the State. In this context, the Expenditure
Reforms Commission (ERC) constituted by
the Government of Karnataka has
recommended that capital outlay needs to
be insulated from revenue adversities.

2014-15 to 2019-20 (BE) accounts for the

State's remarkable performance in its own Liabilities

tax collections (Table 3.3). The State's own
tax revenue constitutes the largest share.
There is an increase in the share of central
taxes from 2.14% of GSDP in 2014-15 to
2.57% of GSDP in 2019-20 (BE). Share of
grants from the central Government has
increased from 1.09% of GSDP in 2018-
19(RE) to1.14% of GSDP in 2019-20(BE).
Non-tax revenue is slightly decreased for the
same period and warrants attention.
The total liabilities of the State Government
is increased slightly from Rs.285508.00
crore in 2018-19(RE) to Rs.327209.00
crore in 2019-20(BE). The total liabilities are
however, within the limit of 25% of GSDP
(prescribed by the 13th Finance
Commission) (Figures 3.3 & 3.4).

Composition of the revenue receipts, as b) The State's Share in Central Taxes:

described earlier, reveals that the State's
own tax revenue has performed very well
during the period under reference. Tax
revenue mainly includes taxes on income &
expenditure, entry tax, property and capital
transactions, VAT, sale of goods,
commodities & services, State excise, motor
vehicle taxes and the State's share in central
taxes. The budgeted tax revenue is
anticipated at Rs.158799.24 crore in
2019-20(BE) as against Rs.142527.70 crore
in 2018-19(RE). Goods and Service Tax is
the main source of tax revenue comprising
about 35.92% of State's own tax revenue in
2019-20(BE). GST Compensation is
expected to increase by 59.71% in 2019-
20(BE) over 2018-19(RE).
The State's share in central taxes is
anticipated to increase by Rs.3590.97
crore i.e. by 9.92% in 2019-20(BE) over
2018-19(RE).
c) Non - tax Revenues: Non-tax revenue
includes receipts from social, economic
and general services, interest and
dividends. The budget for 2019-20(BE)
which has revenue from the above three
services is Rs.8055.41 crore as against
Rs.7287.08 crore in 2018-19(RE). This
is an important fiscal challenge faced by
the State which warrants necessary
measures to recover user charges at
optimal levels. The ratio of non-tax
revenue to total receipts has been
62 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20

continuously very low over the years. 3.4.2.2 Capital Receipts

Further, the State has one of the lowest
Capital receipts include loans from
non-tax revenues to the GSDP ratios in
Government of India, internal debt
the country. It is around 1% mark for
(excluding ways & means, market loans),
the last five to six years. This is due to
public account(net), recoveries of loans &
low recovery of costs. In many
advances and contingency funds(net),
departments, the revision of user
miscellaneous Capital Receipts. Capital
charges, fees & fines and other such
receipts of Rs.45776.92 crore in 2019-
non-tax receipts have not taken place
20(BE) accounts for an increase of 5.87 %
for many years. Even with revision of
over 2018-19(RE) level. Loans from
rates and better collection mechanisms,
the Government of India accounts for
the increase in revenues from this
Rs. 1473.79 crore i.e. 3.22% of the capital
avenue may not be large due to existing
receipts with a growth rate of 23.28% over
low base. Expenditure Reform

focus on social services covering the sectors
such as education, health, housing, water
supply etc., has significantly increased from
Rs.43916.88 crore in 2014-15 to
Rs.85726.41 crore in 2019-20(BE). The

Inter-State Comparison
The State has a larger size of per capita
development expenditure as compared to
the National average and that of many other
States. Development expenditure comprises
of spending incurred by the Government on
programs relating to the social and
economic services which in turn, contribute
to the social and economic development of
the State. The per capita development
expenditure in Karnataka during 2016-
17(A/Cs), 2017-18(RE) and 2018-19(BE)
was Rs.18864, Rs.20578 and Rs.23179
respectively as compared to all State's
Rs.17171. Karnataka has one of the highest
level of per capita development expenditure
during the last three years compared to
major States and All States Average, as can
be seen in Table 3.9.
3.4.3.3 Expenditure Highlights: 2019-20
Sector wise break-up of development and
non-development expenditures are

VAT Compensation was there only in

The growth rate in revenue receipts in 2019-
20(BE) over 2018-19(RE) is 9.62%, whereas
the growth rate in total central receipts is
19.99% for the same reference period.
Similarly, the Central Receipts as a percent
of Revenue Receipts is increased from
16.20% in 2018-19(RE) to 17.74% in 2019-
20(BE).
Trends in the share of plan and non-plan
expenditure in the GSDP during 2012-13 to
2016-17 are presented in Figure 3.8.
Restricting the non-plan expenditure has
been possible due to the austerity measures
adopted by the Government from time to
time such as restrictions on fresh
recruitment, vehicle purchases, foreign
tours and training, holding Government
functions in star hotels and total ban on
travel in business class in flights. However,
the State government still has a fairly large
amount of expenditure locked up under
“committed expenditure” category
discussed below.
Committed expenditure on salaries, pens-
ions, interest, subsidies, administrative
expenditure, devolution to PRIs and ULBs,
etc constitute about 84% of the total
uncommitted revenue receipts i.e. total
revenue receipts less tied grants from
Government of India, during the year
2018-19(RE) (Figure 3.9). The graph below
traces the trends in the share of committed
expenditure to the uncommitted receipts. As
is evident from the graph, approximately
84% of uncommitted revenue receipts in
2018-19(RE) are committed. Hence, only
16% of uncommitted revenue receipts were
available for new initiatives and existing
capital expenditure commitment of the
Government. With such limited fiscal space
available for manoeuvrability, containing
the committed expenditure which is largely
revenue in nature vice-a-versa capital
expenditure would be one of the key
challenges currently faced by the state.

Economics and Statistics classifies A summary of the total expenditure by

Government expenditure by economic
categories in the annual budget. This is
useful for analyzing the economic
significance of the budgetary transactions of
the State Government. It throws light on the
extent of capital formation out of budgetary
resources, savings of the Government,
drawals of the Government on various
resources of the State's economy and
contribution of the Government to State
income.
economic classification for 2019-20(BE) in
comparison with the preceding two years is
presented in Table 3.12. In 2019-20(BE), in
the final outlays, the Government's
consumption is anticipated to increase by
3.85% over 2018-19(RE). The capital
formation has increased by 4.10%.
Consumption expenditure forms 20.97% of
the total expenditure during the current
year. Transfer payments to the rest of the
economy are anticipated to go up by 15.27%

3.7 SCHEMES IN 2019-20 BUDGET
There are as many as 2235 schemes in
2019-20(BE) with an allocation of
Rs.234152.97 crore, out of these 90
schemes (4% of total schemes) each one has
an allocation of more than Rs.500.00 crore
and the sum of allocation of these 90
schemes is at Rs.153778.01 crore (65.67%
of the Budget Size). For the remaining
schemes the allocation is at Rs. 80374.96
crore. This indicates that the rationalization
of schemes is required so as to have focused
approach on the outcomes by avoiding thin
spread of resources. Distribution of number
of schemes and their allocations in
2019-20(BE) across departments is
presented in Table 3.17.
3.8 DISTRICT SECTOR OUTLAYS FOR
THE YEAR 2019-20
District sector plan outlays from 1996-97 to
2019-20(BE) is given in Appendix 3.1. The
total outlay of the District Sector Schemes
for the year 2019-20(BE) is Rs.39135.19
crore, of which Rs.12262.56 crore for ZP
schemes which constitutes 31.33% of total
district sector outlay. Similarly, an amount
of Rs.21123.96 crore is allocated for TP
Schemes and Rs.5748.67 crore is allocated
for GP Schemes which constitute around
53.98% and 14.69% the total District Sector
Outlay respectively. District wise break-up
of the plan outlay is presented in
Table 3.18.
3.9 EXTERNALLY AIDED PROJECTS
There are eleven externally aided projects
under implementation with assistance from
the World Bank and other external agencies
during the year 2019-20(BE). Of these, three
are in Urban Development, four in Public
Works Department, two in Water Resources
and one in Rural Development and
Panchayat Raj department(project has been
dropped) and another Project, namely,
Sujala III is being implemented by both
Agriculture and Horticulture departments.
Project-wise details are presented in
Table 3.19.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
3.10 CURRENT FISCAL CHALLENGES
AND WAY FORWARD
The challenge for the state would be to
ensure maintaining high tax effort to garner
adequate resources to meet expenditure
requirements of critical sectors of the
economy while adhering to fiscal prudence
norms. Some of the challenges including
those identified earlier have continued to
remain. These are as follows:
1. Tax Effort Plateau: Karnataka over the
years consistently achieved the highest
own tax revenue to GSDP ratio (tax
effort) amongst all other States. Change
in the GSDP base and methodology has
affected this ratio. With increased tax
base in GST, the situation is expected to
improve in mid-run.
2. Rising commitments on the Revenue
Expenditure Front: Though the size of
the budget has gone up over the years, it
is characterized by a substantial
portion being in the nature of
committed expenditure. The committed
expenditure in terms of salary, pension
and interest payments are primarily in
the revenue account. The narrowing
down of the revenue surplus gap is a
clear indicator of the strain on the
revenue budget.
The high percentage of committed
revenue expenditure to revenue
receipts reveals that the State has
limited flexibility in allocation of its
resources for new schemes. Revenue
surplus of only Rs.257.96 crore in
2019-20 (BE) leaves limited
maneuverability for the decision as on
the expenditure side. Hence the need of
the hour is expenditure rationalization/
re-calibration.
3. Capital Expenditure: Since revenue
surplus is expected to be under strain,
the capital expenditure would have to
be met out largely from Capital Receipts
include Non-debt Capital Receipts like
revenue earned from sale of
government assets, recovery of loans &

advances and Borrowings etc., This has
resulted in increasing total liabilities.
By weeding out non-essential schemes,
imposing sunset clauses in schemes
running for more than five years with no
significant benefit, limiting non-
development revenue expenditure and
streamlining revenue collections, the
State would have to target to build up
adequate revenue surplus for use in
capital formation and productive
expenditure. The major challenge
before the State will be to continuously
focus on improving the outcomes of the
expenditure so that the impact is visible
in improvement of Sustainable
Development Indicators for the State
and overall socio-economic growth.
4. Unfunded or Partially Funded
Liabilities: At the macro level,
Government of Karnataka has
maintained the fiscal discipline
mandated by the Legislature through
Karnataka Fiscal Responsibility Act.
However, in these years, the State has
also taken up several commitments
which have the potential of creating
fiscal stress. Therefore, it is important
to build a midterm perspective on
expenditure to keep it sustainable.
5. Review of Public Resources: The
State's revenue expenditure growth is
characterized by a large portion of it
being committed expenditure thereby
leaving little room for maneuverability
for furthering other capital investments
to meet the growing needs of social and
economic infrastructure. The State has
been increasingly relying on Public
Private Partnerships (PPPs) to fill these
investment gaps. However, these
infrastructure challenges remain large
and require public investment to
encourage private investment to
supplement. There is also increasing
demand on the public resources in the
light of statutory legislations like Right
to Education, Food Security Act and
Employment Guarantee measures.
These emerging concerns necessitate a
review of the public resources as a
whole to assess their allocative and
technical efficiency.
84
6. Reduction in Plan Grants Given by
the Central Government: Government
of India has reduced grants for
Centrally Sponsored Schemes. Many of
these Schemes have ongoing
commitments and hence they cannot be
stopped all of a sudden. As a result,
additional burden has been put on the
State to compensate for this reduction.
7. Low Non-tax Revenue: Non-Tax
Revenue as a percentage of revenue
receipts is declining over the past
several years. The ratio of Non-Tax
Revenue to GSDP has been negligible
mainly on account of low and declining
cost recoveries, poor performance of
Public Enterprises and uneconomic
pricing of implicit subsidies. One of the
major reasons for the stagnation of
Non-Tax Revenue is lack of regular and
periodic monitoring by the
Administrative Departments and the
non-revision of user charges
periodically. All the concerned
departments are instructed by the
Committee constituted in this regard to
take forward the measures to increase
the nontax revenue.
8. New Commitments: Increased
expenditure requirements on account
of the farm loan waiver scheme,
including co-operative as well as
commercial banks, large revenue
expenditure on account of 6th Pay
Commission award, Revision of UGC
and AICTE pay scales, increasing
subsidies and push towards target
based subsidy award including DBT
have resulted in reduction in allocation
of other schemes.
9. Timing of Borrowing: It has been
observed that while monthly flow of
State's revenue receipts is more or less
uniform throughout the year,
expenditure shows a clear surge in the
last quarter of a financial year. Thus,
cash flow requires borrowings to be
raised in the 3rd and 4th quarter only,
which also reduce interest burden.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
The following New Initiatives have been
Taken by the State
a. Comprehensive Decision Support
System: The State is implementing a
Comprehensive Integrated Decision
Support System in a time bound
manner for the transparent resource
allocation, better decentralized
monitoring and improved implementation
of all schemes and programmes. This
system would capture information on
the progress of the State Government's
schemes directly from the
implementation points and enable the
Government to formulate comprehensive
District and Block Plans. The system
will ensure need based equitable
distribution of resources to every Block
and District and their better utilization
through decentralized participatory
monitoring.
b. Goods and Service Tax (GST): GST has
been introduced in the State in
2017-18. GST is expected to have
positive impact on economic activities
in the long run; in the medium term the
revenue realization compared to the
existing tax structure is expected to be
negatively impacted. In addition to loss
due to transitional problems, revenue
loss because of the shift from origin
based taxation to destination based
taxation, subsuming of taxes like Entry
Tax, that will only get partially
compensated and a relatively lower
Revenue Neutral Rate. However, this
loss is expected to be compensated by
the Central Government for the first five
years from the date of implementation
of GST. Awareness and capacity
amongst tax payers as well as within
Government is extremely critical for
smooth transition. The State has taken
steps to ensure that the nuances of GST
are comprehensively explained to all the
stake holders. A Central Help Desk has
been established in the Office of the
Commercial Tax Department at head
quarters which will address all the
issues relating to GST on all working
days both online and offline. Under the
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
GST regime, Capacity Building
Programmes for the Officers of the
Commercial Tax have been undertaken
towards the detection of frauds, to
unearth avoidance of tax,to bring better
compliance on part of the taxpayers
under the new laws and also to
maximise revenue.
c. Removal of Distinction between Plan
and Non-plan: The distinction between
Plan and Nonplan in the budgetary
system was brought in when the plan
model of economic growth was adopted
in the country. It is expected that with
the removal of this distinction a direct
link between spending and outcome
could be established which will be
useful in assessing the efficiency of
public expenditure. The Union
Government removed this distinction in
Government Expenditure from the
Financial Year 2017-18 onwards. For
the reason cited above, the State
Government has also removed this
distinction in the Government Budget
from the Financial Year 2017-18.
d. Gender Budget: Gender based
budgeting helps to prioritize and orient
public expenditure to reflect the
concerns of women. The State is one of
the pioneers in Gender Budget
Initiatives and preparing Gender
Budget documents since 2007-08. The
Gender Budget document indicates the
quantum of allocations made through
schemes intended for welfare and
empowerment of women. The Gender
Budget Allocation (BE) for the year
2019-20 is at Rs.111012.86 crore
which is 47.41% of total budget. All
government programmes/ Schemes
wherein women beneficiaries are at
least thirty percent have been classified
into categories A and B. Category-A
covers schemes which benefit women
100 percent. There are 66 schemes
under this category in 2019-20 and
allocation under these schemes is at
Rs.5222.46 crore which is about 4.70 %
of the total Gender Budget. Category-B
covers schemes, wherein women
beneficiaries are 30-99 percent. There
85
are 816 schemes under this category in
2019-20 and allocation for these
schemes is at Rs.105790.39 crore
which is about 95.30% of the Gender
Budget.
e. Khajane II: It is an integrated Financial
management System being
implemented by the Finance
Department Khajane -II and will enable
all Financial Transactions of the
Government of Karnataka on a single
platform in an online integrated
environment with other stake holder
systems.
f. Delegation of Fund Release Powers to
Administrative Departments: With a
view to improve the pace of
implementation of schemes and
thereby improve expenditure, Finance
Department has delegated powers of
release of funds to concerned
Administrative Secretaries for the first
three quarters of the Financial Year
upto 75 per cent of the budget
provision. However, the analysis of
monthly expenditure for the past five
years indicates that with almost 40%
expenditure happening in the last
quarter. It is therefore necessary to
make efforts towards a more equitable
distribution of expenditure through the
year by timely approvals to the
departmental action plans and planned
approach towards implementation of
schemes in the field. From 2015-16
onwards concerned administrative
Secretaries are delegated to release of
funds even in the 4th quarter (upto the
revised estimates) also. This would
improve the pace of expenditure
incurred by Departments.
Way Forward
g. Fiscal Management Review
Committee: Government has
constituted Fiscal Management Review
Committee under the Chief Secretary to
review the fiscal and debt position of the
state and advice the Finance Minister
on the remedial measures to be adopted
to ensure adherence to the parameters
stipulated in KFRA. The following are
86
some of the major recommendations
made by the committee;
(i) Critically examine expenditure and
prioritiese them with a focus on capital
expenditure in order to generate
productive assets that will help the
economy to expand in the longer run.
(ii) Critically assess the existing subsidies
net from the point of their effectiveness
and to prune down non-merit subsidies
in a phased manner to keep
expenditure under sustainable levels.
(iii) The fund allocated under various
centrally sponsored schemes is being
routed directly to the implementing
agencies instated of routing through the
Consolidated Fund of the State which is
the usual practice. This would
adversely impact the budget estimates
of the State as also the accounting of
expenditure. Hence it was decided to
take up the issue with Accountant
General and concerned Ministries in
Government of India so as to ensure
that funds are routed through
Consolidated Fund.
(iv) In order to have better budget estimates
it is decided to bring all Grant-In-Aid
Institutions under HRMS framework.
(v) Continuous review and monitoring of
tax efforts including enforcement to
reach the target set out in budget
estimates.
(vi) Follow up with departments for
improving their non-tax revenues by
regular revision of fees, user charges
etc.
(vii) In order to maintain a correlation with
the actual expenditure needs of the
State, the budgetary borrowings have
been resorted to only in the 3rd and 4th
quarters of the FY 2015-16. FMRC
appreciated the same practice and
advised to continue the practice in
future.
(viii) Approvals for new initiatives and works
requiring implementation over multiple
years to be based on fiscal
sustainability of the total expenditure
rather than expenditure during the year
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
of approval only and thereby avoid build
up of fiscal stress due to unfunded
expenditure commitments.
(ix) Prioriritization needs to be done to use
the available funds first for projects that
are nearing completion so that
immediate benefits accrue to the public.
(x) In order to augment the revenues,
continued efforts be made to improve
own revenue receipts through
increased efficiency in tax
administration as well as monitoring
and to make optimum use of central
funds available under various schemes.
(xi) To rationalize existing Government
schemes so as to have focused
approach on the outcomes by avoiding
thin spread of resources and
multiplicity of similar schemes.
(xii) In order to keep the non developmental
expenditure in check and make more &
more resources available for
developmental expenditure, regulation
on creation of new posts, and filling up
vacancies in non-core spheres be
continued.
(xiii)The Committee instructed that all the
tax collecting departments should be
directed to increase efforts to meet the
targets.
(xiv) The 6th State Pay Commission has
made recommendations on
rationalization of pay and allowances,
increasing the operating staff and
reducing ministerial staff, merging
of cadre and departments,
redeployment of vacant posts. These
recommendations need to be
implemented in order to strengthen the
administration and streamline the
expenditure.
(xv) To decongest the traffic in Cities, it is
required to subsidise the Public
Transport. This can be done by dis
incentivising used of private vehicles. It
was decided to explore the possibilities
of imposing cess on registration of new
vehicles and on consumption of diesel
and petrol which helps to subsidise
public Transport.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
h) 14th Finance Commission: (a) The
14th Finance Commission has
recommended an increase in the share
of the Central devolution to the States
from 32% to 42%. State Government
has made continued effort and a strong
pitch for an increase in the share of the
States and also an increase for
Karnataka within the divisible pool.
(b) Fiscal deficit of all state will be
anchored to an annual limit of 3% of
GSDP.(i) The State will be eligible for
flexibility of 0.25 percent over and above
this for any given year for which
borrowing limits are to be fixed if their
debt-GSDP ratio is less than or equal
to 25 percent in the preceding year.
(ii) States will be further eligible for an
additional borrowing limit of 0.25
percent of GSDP in a given year for
which borrowing limits are to be fixed if
the interest payments are less than or
equal to 10 percent of the revenue
receipts in the preceding year.
87
The above two options under these
flexibility provisions can be availed of by
a State either separately, if any of the
above criteria is fulfilled, or
simultaneously if both the above stated
criteria are fulfilled. Thus, a State can
have a maximum fiscal deficit- GSDP
limit of 3.5 per cent in any given year.
The flexibility in availing the additional limit
under either of the two options or both will
be available to a State only if there is no
revenue deficit in the year in which
borrowing limits are to be fixed and the
immediately preceding year.
If a State is not able to fully utilize its
sanctioned borrowing limit of 3 per cent of
GSDP in any particular year during the first
four years of award period, it will have the
option of availing this un-utilised borrowing
amount only in the following year but within
award period

 INVESTMENT AND EXPORTS
Promotion of private investment has been
high on the agenda of Government of
Karnataka. The concerted efforts by the
State have resulted in a large-scale inflow of
investments during the past few years. The
State has also developed a distinct policy
framework for guiding investments and set
up dedicated institutions that streamline
the approval processes. Karnataka offers
wide range of fiscal and financial incentives
to investors even while nurturing the
supporting infrastructure such as technical
institutions, laboratories and research
institutions. The State's information
technology and biotechnology sectors have
attracted significant investments and
contribute to significant exports from the
country in these sectors. Exports contribute
about 40% of the State's GSDP with
electronic, computer software and
biotechnology contributing a major portion
of the exports. Karnataka's economic
growth can be accelerated further with a
continued emphasis on promotion of private
investment and enhancement of industrial
competitiveness.
4.1. INVESTMENT IN KARNATAKA
Karnataka is a pioneer in introducing many
reform initiatives adopted in India and has
been highly proactive in attracting private
investment. Lucrative policies incentivizing
private domestic and foreign investments
are framed from time to time. These policies
along with an investment friendly climate in
the State have helped the State attract large-
scale private investment, especially in
information and communication technology
(ICT) and biotechnology sectors. KBITS,
established under the Department of IT, BT
and S&T by the Government of Karnataka,
is specially meant for the promotion and
facilitation of investments in the State. On
26th April, 2018, KBITS was renamed as
Karnataka Innovation and Technology
Society (KITS) to enable, promote and drive
89
CHAPTER 4
innovation and entrepreneurship in the
state of Karnataka.
4.1.1 Karnataka's Investment Climate
Karnataka's vast and diversified resource
base has emerged as a reputed investment
destination for investors worldwide. The
State was the first to enact the Industrial
Facilitation Act to help investors. Karnataka
has a single window which acts as a one-
stop-shop for investments in the State. The
specific advantages for Karnataka include i)
Good law and order situation prevailing in
Karnataka which is conducive to foreign
direct investments ii) Abundant availability
of highly skilled manpower iii) Karnataka
ranks among the top 5 industrially
developed States in India iv) The State
provides excellent logistic support and
connectivity to the investors and v) The State
provides one of the biggest and fast
expanding markets in the Country.
Karnataka's investor-friendly and respo-
nsive administration has worked towards
easing administrative procedures and
implementing policy measures for faster
and smoother industrial growth. Some of
the significant measures are as follows:
(a) An investor-friendly responsive
administration
(b) The State-level single window clearance
committee and the State high level
clearance committee facilitate
clearance of proposals in a speedy
manner.
(c) Sector-specific industrial zones and
SEZs that match the natural resources
and capabilities of a region with the
industry requirements.
(d) Creation of World-class, ready-to-use
infrastructure through investments in
power, roads, water, warehouse and
logistic facilities, connectivity through
rails and ports etc.

4.1.2 Investment flows into Karnataka
Karnataka Udyog Mitra (KUM) is a single
contact point for all investors who are
looking at setting up enterprises/business
in Karnataka. As the nodal agency, its role
is to facilitate investments and execute
from the stage of receiving investment
proposals to the eventual implementation of
the project. It acts as a secretariat for State

Karnataka accounts for a significant share
in the total FDI that flows into India. The
statistics provided in TABLE 4.3 reveal that
the State had 15.1% share in the total FDI
taking place in India in 2018-19. Karnataka
attracted FDI of US$ 42320 from 2000 to
2019 (up to Sep 2019) constituting 9.5 % of
the all India FDI as shown in Table 4.3.
4.1.3 Investment in Information
Technology.
The information technology (IT) sector in
Karnataka has become one of the primary
Information Technology Sector in
Karnataka is primarily concentrated in
Bangalore. Lately, other parts of Karnataka
have also seen a growth in IT-related
activities.
Bangalore was the first city in India to set up
a Satellite Earth Station for high speed
communication services to facilitate
software exports in 1992. The State made a
giant leap in the Information Technology
sector by establishing the Country's first
extended facility of the International
gateway and network operations centre at

home to one of the earliest and most thriving
biotech ecosystems in India. The major
hubs for Biotechnology include Bengaluru,
Mysuru, Hubballi - Dharwad, Tumakuru
and Mangaluru, with new potential hubs
under development, across the State. The
support for industry and startups comes
from the strong and evolving biotech
many nationally and internationally
renowned Research Institutions,
Companies and startups. Karnataka is the
preferred destination for biopharma and
bioservices industry, including clinical
trials, contract research and manufacturing
activities. Karnataka is also strong on bio-
agriculture, bio-energy, medical devices and
bioinformatics.
Currently, Karnataka's Biotech industry
comprises of ~400 small, medium and large
sized companies and over 270 Start-ups,
together forming ~60% of the biotech
companies in India. The number continues
to grow with most of the well-known
companies continuing to choose Karnataka
as destination for their operations. In 2016-
17, the biotech export revenues accounted
for US $ 4.91 billion, while the domestic

association for the animation, visual effects,
gaming and comics sector announced a
unique summit, 'Bengaluru B2B AVGC
th th
Summit' on 29 & 30 November,2018 in
Bengaluru.
Bengaluru geared up for the B2B AVGC
summit 2018 on 29th & 30th November and
1st December, where all major buyers and
pitchers came together. The response from
the interested animation and gaming
studios from across the country was
tremendous with applications pouring in for
original animation and gaming pitches.
The B2B animation summit was a unique
platform designed to connect IP owners and
developers; content creators and production
houses interested in producing and co-
producing creative content. The summit
brought selected international and national
studios, producers, broadcasters,
distributors and financiers to participate in
this 'buyer: seller' interface. The B2B
summit was a 'mini market place' initiative
aimed at promoting local IP creation and
providing a platform that matched locally
developed concepts with the needs of global
and local buyers.
Karnataka's new AVGC policy 2.0, launched
in August 2017, provided grants to startups,
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
IP creators and local studios. This gave local
studios the possibility to participate in cross
border initiatives with greater confidence
and resources.
The summit brought together thought
leaders, technocrats, researchers,
innovators, broadcasters, distributors,
producers, investors and policy makers
from different streams. It paved the way for
interdisciplinary dialogues and
collaborations. This led to the emergence of
disruptive technologies, creative IPs, path
breaking products and unique services.
There were also various panel discussions
on topics ranging from Successful co-
productions to 'The Tips and Tricks to
Pitching' to 'Case study about developing,
marketing an IP'. There was also a master
panel with feedbacks and suggestions from
international visitors.
These discussions were conceived keeping
in mind that most of the Indian studios have
faced various difficulties in affording
international market visits and are still not
very clear in their approach towards
pitching the right content to the right
people. This event gave them insights about
how the global AVGC industry works.
To sum it all up, this event was poised to
become the biggest B2B AVGC event our
country has ever witnessed and it aimed to
set a benchmark for the world to follow.

IMPLEMENTATION OF DEPARTMENTAL
SCHEMES
(i) Karnataka Semiconductor Venture
Capital Fund (KARSEMVEN Fund)
Traditionally, Karnataka has been the
favored destination for the technology sector
in IT/ITES, biotechnology and semi-
conductors. Bengaluru has been the
preferred hub of the Government of India
(GoI) defence labs. This coupled with the
talent pool, access to engineering colleges
and attractiveness as an investment
destination for private sector companies,
has created an ecosystem giving Karnataka
a national edge.
Bengaluru is the largest hub of
semiconductor design companies, outside
the Bay Area in California. Nearly 70% of the
country's chip designers work here and
around 80% of the sector's revenues in
design are from this city alone.
Government of Karnataka focuses on 3 key
activities.
1. Promote Karnataka as a semiconductor
design hub.
117
2. Attract investments in high-tech
semiconductor manufacturing.
3. Promote generation and use of green
energy.
Government of Karnataka / KITS (formerly
KBITS) has set up Karnataka Semi-
conductor Venture Capital Fund (KAR-
SEMVEN Fund) for assisting Companies in
the Semiconductor sector. The total fund
size is Rs.92.95Cr. KITS has contributed
Rs.25 Cr to the fund and the balance has
been mobilized from various other investing
banks, financial institutions and Govern-
ment of India (GoI).
The fund has become operational and the
Investment Committee has been setup.The
investment committee of the fund has
invested in companies with growth potential
and had earlier sanctioned Rs. 32.65Cr to
seven companies of which one of the
company has exited from the fund i.e
Graphene Semiconductor Services and the
fund has received Rs.8.00Cr against the
investment of Rs.4.95Cr and this amount
has been redeemed to all the subscribers of
the funding proportion to their contribution.
The details of the investment are shown in
Table 4.15.
(ii) KITVEN Fund-3 (Biotech)
In compliance with the Government of
Karnataka rules and regulations, an
exclusive Bio Venture Capital fund of the
size of Rs. 50.00 Cr has been registered with
SEBI to partner with Government of
Karnataka and launched. This will offer
equity based funding to the biotech
companies in need of mid – to late stage
funding.
The Fund proposes to invest in companies
catering to Biotechnology and such other
allied sectors within the State of Karnataka.
The investment in companies will be in the

4.2 Exports of Karnataka
Karnataka has a long tradition of overseas
trade. Historically, Karnataka has been a
major exporter of commodities like coffee,
spices, silk, cashew nuts, handicrafts and
agarbathies. In the last two decades, the
State has emerged as a major player in the
export of electronic and computer software,
engineering goods, readymade garments,
petrochemicals, gems and jewellery, agro
and food processing products, chemicals,
minerals and ores, marine products, etc.
Karnataka has carved out a niche for itself in
the global marketplace as the knowledge
and technology capital of the Country. The
State has made rapid and spectacular
strides in the new economy. Information
technology, biotechnology and research and
development institutions have enhanced
Karnataka's achievements at national and
global levels. Karnataka accounts for more
than one third of electronics and computer
software exports from the country. It is also
120
a leader in exports of readymade
garments, petrochemicals and engineering
commodities from Southern Region.
4.2.1 Export performance of Karnataka:
Karnataka ranks 1st in software / service
exports and stands 4th in merchandise
exports in the national export basket.
Visvesvaraya Trade Promotion Centre
(VTPC) under the aegis of Department of
Industries and Commerce of the
Government of Karnataka is the official
institution for compilation and publication
of the export data by 19 commodities from
Director General of Commercial Intelligence
and Statistics, Kolkata.
Karnataka overall exports have not shown
any increase during 2018-19 as compared
to the year 2017-18. Karnataka's exports in
terms of value in, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-
19 and 2019-20 (April to November 2019)
are shown in Table 4.17.
Karnataka's exports as a percentage of
GSDP has a fairly large share and has also
increased significantly over the period. The
share of exports in GSDP which was 7.36%
in 1993-94, has grown to 28.90 during
2018-19.
Karnataka's exports amounted to about Rs.
659425.33 crore in 2018-19 which
constituted about 17.04% of the Country's
exports in that year. The share of
merchandise exports in the National exports
constitutes around 5.30% and software /
Figure 4.1 :Exports as percent to GSDP
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
service exports around 39% for the year
2018-19.
Commodities which have substantial
increase in share of Karnataka's exports in
2018-19 as compared to 2017-18 are
Petroleum products (80%), Manganese ore
(30%), Automobile (20%), Spices (100%) and
Agri Processed food (10%). The exports
where in it showed decline as compared to
2017-18 are Gems and Jewel (95%), this
was due to the ban imposed by GOI on 22
carat and above gold medallion export.
The Share of Karnataka's exports in the
State's GSDP from 2014-15 to 2018-19 is
depicted in Fig. 2.2. Higher export
performance is an important determinant of
increasing degree of openness to export
trade. Degree of openness is measured by
the ratio of value of exports to GDP at
National level and by the ratio of value of
exports to GSDP at the State level. This is
remarkably higher than that of all India (at
about 10%). Increasing degree of openness
to trade is an indicator of economic
globalization. From this viewpoint, the
levels of Karnataka's economic globalisation
have been higher than at all India level.
4.2.2 Exports as percent to GSDP as
shown in Figure 4.1.

Foreign trade is in the Central List of the
Indian Constitution. The Government of
India is empowered to formulate all rules

 RURAL DEVELOPMENT
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Real India is still a rural India as 61 percent
of Karnataka's population and 69 percent of
Indian population lives in rural area. With
economic development, the shift of labour
from agriculture to other sectors has
gathered momentum in last two decades. As
a consequence, though the contribution of
agriculture to GDP has come down to 14
percent, yet, the share of agriculture in
employment still remains significant at 54.6
percent in India, and it is 54.8 percent in
Karnataka. Therefore, India and Karnataka
are still largely rural agrarian economies.
Therefore, the focused approach to promote
rural development is the real path to achieve
the desired goals in economic as well as
human development.
The proportion of rural population in total
population is declining over the time period.
The decline is faster in Karnataka as
compared to India. The decline in the
proportion of rural population is 4.58
percent between 2001-2011 for Karnataka,
and it is 3.30 percent for India. This is
evident form the following Table 5.1.

CHAPTER 5
5.2 RURAL DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMMES
Development of rural areas has a bearing on
improving agricultural production and
related economic activities, availability of
natural and financial resources and their
development. The rural development
programmes are implemented through
Rural Development and Panchayat Raj
department towards promoting effective and
inclusive rural development. The rural
development programmes focus on
providing quality life to the rural people
through provision of housing, drinking
water, sanitation, roads and connectivity
and employment.
a) Rural Housing
Housing is a basic and very important need
for every citizen. Housing not only provides
social security to human beings but also
provides status in the society. Housing has
evolved as a prime component over the
period of time not only in providing shelter
but also providing employment
opportunities and in development of
locations. To meet the growing demand of

5.4 WAGE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMES
5.4.1 Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(MGNREGS)
The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Employment Guarantee Act is being
implemented in all the districts with an
objective to enhance livelihood security in
rural areas by providing 100 days of
guaranteed wage employment in a financial
year to every household whose adult
members volunteered to do unskilled
manual work as per demand, resulting in
evaluation of productive assets of prescribed
quality and durability, Strengthening the
livelihood resource base of the poor, Pro
actively ensuring social inclusion and
strengthening of PRIs.
In comparison with the erstwhile
employment programmes MGNREGS is
different, as it has been emerged under the
Act. It has a separate salient features which
are as follows:
1. It is largest employment programmes.
Its a bottom-up, people-centered,
demand-driven, self-selecting, rights-
based design is distinct and
unprecedented
2. The MGNREGA provides a legal
guaranteed for wage employment.
3. It is a demand based programme where
work can be given to the wage seekers
on demand.
4. Legal provisions are made under the Act
to pay unemployment allowance and
compensation allowance in case of
failure to provide work on demand and
delays in payment of wages for the
works undertaken.
5. Funds will be shared between the GoI &
GoK in the ratio of 90:10 Labour and
material ratio shall be maintained at
60:40. labour portion is fully borne by
Government of India & Material portion
is to be shared between GoI & GoK in
the ratio of 75:25
6. For all the works taken by the GPs and
other implementing agencies, the cost
of the material component including the
wages of the skilled and semi-skilled
works shall not exceed 40% at the
District level.
During 2019-20, an amount of Rs 3755.10
crores has been released as against the
allocation of Rs. 1816.00 crores, of which Rs
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
3723.81 crores has been utilized (utilizing
the opening balance amount) to generate
812.40 lakh mandays upto Nov 2019. 19.47
lakhs households have been provided
employment as against the demand of 21.92
lakh during the current year. 8.37 lakh
works have been undertaken of which 2.30
lakh works are completed and the remaining
6.07 lakhs works are under progress.
5.4.2 Karnataka State Rural Livelihood
Promotional Society (KSRLPS)
The Government of India, Ministry of Rural
Development has restructured SGSY as
“Aajeevika”- National Rural Livelihoods
Mission (NRLM) and being implemented
from 2010-2011. The State Government is
implementing this scheme in the phased
manner through Karnataka State Rural
Livelihoods Promotion Society which was
established on 11.12.2011 and the society
was named as “Sanjeevini”.
Institution Building and Capacity
Building
Mobilization of poor to form their 'own
institutions' is the most important
prerequisite and the core investment for
large scale poverty reduction. NRLM would
organize all poor households (women) in to
aggregate institutions of the poor that
provide them with voice, space and
resources. These platforms 'of the poor' and
'for the poor' would partner with local self-
governments, public service providers,
banks, private sector and other mainstream
institutions to facilitate delivery of social
and economic services to the poor. Building
and sustaining institutions of the poor at
various levels would be for collective action,
greater solidarity, bargaining power,
economies of scale and larger linkages.
The Gram Panchayat Level Federation will
select a local Community Resource Person
(CRP), to carry the social mobilization and
capacity building process. The federations
will then analyze training requirements and
conduct training to the existing SHGs & new
SHGs formed. In addition, the GPLF will
facilitate preparation of MIP which will be
used to release Community Investment
Fund (CIF) to the Self Help Groups.
135
The federation will also facilitate bank
linkage and identification of left out families
to be mobilized into SHGs and federations.
As a part of rural livelihood programme
Gram Panchayat level federation will take
up convergence activities with Gram
Panchayat.
The progress achieved under NRLM through
KSRLPS during 2019-20 under different
components is of Rs. 197.09 crore (utilizing
opening balance funds) as against the
allocation of Rs. 150.00 crore up to end of
November 2019.
5.5 RURAL GOVERNANCE
5.5.1 Decentralized Planning as the
Strategy
Accelerating rural development and ensure
benefits of development reach equitably to
all for the evolution of an appropriate rural
development planning strategy - a strategy
that strengthens various indicators of rural
development as also brings a qualitative
change in their reach to all sections of the
society. In order to achieve this objective, the
Government of India opted for a strategy of
decentralized planning and entrusted the
responsibility of planning and implementing
rural development programs to the
decentralized government bodies like PRIs
in rural areas and urban local bodies in
urban areas. With the 73rd Constitutional
Amendment 1993 the PRIs have acquired a
statutory status, become integral part of our
polity and more importantly, they have been
recognized as 'institutions of self-
government'. They have been given the
important responsibilities of preparation
and implementation of Plans to ensure
economic development in rural areas and to
ensure social justice in the distribution of
benefits of such development process.
Consequently, decentralized governance
and planning have emerged as strategies for
initiating socio-economic transformation in
rural areas with the prime objective of
developing rural infrastructure and
improving the living conditions of the rural
people, especially the weaker sections.
Gram Panchayaths has to prepare 5years
development plan on the basis of basic
needs of the people and other local
136
necessities. These vision plans has to
include priority basis schemes and this has
to be submitted to the Taluk Planning and
development committee for consideration.
Taluk Planning and development committee
has to examine development plan and
submit it to the District Planning Committee
for further consideration. District planning
committee after scrutinizing all these plan
schemes submit consolidated report to the
state decentralized planning and
development committee which is headed by
the Honorable Chief Minister.
5.5.2 Decentralised Planning in
Karnataka
After effecting the 73rd Amendment to the
Constitution, Karnataka was the first State
to pass a new legislation in 1993, viz., The
Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act, 1993. The Act
provides for a three-tier structure of
Panchayati Raj with Zilla Panchayats (at the
district level) Taluk Panchayats (at the
Taluk level) and Gram Panchayats (at the
village level). The Bill for constituting
panchayats, which was introduced on 1st
April 1993, came into force from May 18,
1993. In conformity with the Eleventh
Schedule of the Constitution, the 1993 Act
has entrusted a wide range of functions
(Schedule I, II and III) to panchayats. To
carry out these functions, the Gram
Panchayats receive an annual grant of Rs.
10 lakh per GP - for GPs with population of
less than 8000 and for those with more than
8000 population an increment of Rs. 1 lakh
for every 1000 population is provided. Rs.
902.99 crore has been allocated to the
grama panchayats during 2019-20. GPs
also have powers to levy tax on buildings
and lands, levy water rate, tax on
entertainment, vehicles, advertisement and
hoarding and collect market fee, fee on bus
stands and on grazing cattle. Both the Taluk
and Zilla Panchayats are allowed to charge
fee on their property used by others and they
do not have powers to levy taxes. In addition,
both the Grama Panchayats and the Taluk
Panchayats get proceeds from cess on land
revenue, surcharge on stamp duty levied by
the State Government. Except for these, the
panchayats have to depend solely on the
resources transferred from the Government.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
The powers and functions of the Grama,
Taluk and Zilla Panchayats have been listed
in sections 58, 145 and 184 of KPR ACT,
1993. As per the three schedules (I, II, III) the
panchayats are authorised to carry out
functions such as preparation of annual
plans, annual budgets and sectoral
schemes for promotion of agriculture,
animal husbandry, rural housing, drinking
water, roads and bridges, rural
electrification, education, rural sanitation,
public health, women and child
development, social welfare, public
distribution system, maintenance of
community assets, co-operative activities
and promotion of libraries. Section 309 of
1993 Act provides for the preparation of
development plan by the grama panchayats,
taluk panchayats and zilla panchayats.
Further, Section 310 of the Act makes it
mandatory for the state to constitute
District Planning Committees (DPCs) in
each district which are required to
consolidate the plans prepared by the
panchayats and municipal bodies and to
prepare the draft district development plan
of the district by taking into consideration
the needs of the spatial planning, physical
and natural resources and the level of
infrastructure development. Dr. D M
Nanjundappa's Report on Redressal of
Regional Imbalances also recommended
that DPCs in each district should do the
planning keeping 'taluk' as the primary unit
in the planning process.
The PRIs prepare the action plans as per the
allocations, discuss them in the various
Standing Committees and place them in the
general body meetings and seek guidance of
the District Planning Committees after
which the implementing officers start
executing the plans/programmes. In the
preparation of plans the ward sabhas and
grama sabhas play a crucial role and their
recommendations and suggestions do figure
in such action plans emphasising the fact
that the plans so prepared are the byproduct
of people's wishes and demands. Thus, the
entire planning process can be termed as
“Participatory planning processes”.

5.5.3 Initiatives to strengthen
Decentralised Planning Process
Karnataka comprises of 6,021 Gram
Panchayats, 177 Taluk Panchayats and 30
Zilla Panchayats. The State has its credit
entrusting major responsibilities and
devolving all the 29 functions to the
panchayats as enlisted under the Eleventh
Schedule of the Constitution. In recent
years, the State Government has been
taking a proactive stance to strengthen the
decentralised governance and planning
process and to that effect has introduced
many administrative innovations.
The Karnataka Panchayath Raj (second
amendment) Act, 2015 has been amended
in December 2015. The salient features of
the new amendment are insertions of new
sections 309A to 309 H of the Principal Act.
Section 309(4) and 309-A to 309-H where in
it is clearly mentioned the strategy to follow
in preparing the development plan from the
grass root level Janavasti Sabha. These
planning proposal has to be scrutinized at
the gram panchayat level and also at
G.P./T.P/Z.P development committees.
Vision plan has to be prepared at the Gram
Panchayat level on the basis of the necessity
and available Grants.
Section 310B has been inserted to
constitute Karnataka state Decentralised
Planning and Development Committee,
headed by Hon'ble Chief Minister of
Karnataka to formulate development plans
and annual economic review to be presented
along with the budget document.
5.5.4 The functions of the Karnataka
State Decentralized Planning and
Development committee are
a). The Karnataka state decentralized
planning and development committee
(KSDPDC) shall link the plans of
districts and other planning units to
provide for mutual consultation and
negotiations between them and also
provide the framework for integrating
the sectoral and spatial aspects of
urban and rural plans.
b). The process of consolidation and
integration by the KSDPDC shall not
alter the plans prepared by the districts.
137
c). The committe while preparing the
consolidated plan, consult such
institutions and organizations as the
Government may, by order, specify.
d). Soon after the process of consolidation
and integration is completed, the
committee shall forward the
consolidated plan to the Government.
e). The committee shall also look after
formulation of policy matters related to
local development and regional
development, co-ordination of districts
and state plans and designing policies
to strengthen local bodies.
Other Activities carried out by the
Committee
i) To formulate the plans from bottom to
top approach a detailed guidelines/
circulars have been issued.
ii) Holding of KDP meetings has been
extended to GP level.
iii) 5 districts have been allocated to each
expert member of the Karnataka State
Decentralised planning and
Development Committee to oversee the
planning process.
5.5.5 Activity Mapping
The State has evolved a detailed range of
'Activity Mapping' for all the three
panchayats. Broadly, the activity mapping
visualizes both Zilla Panchayats and Taluk
Panchayats as planners, facilitators and
owners of common executive machinery,
Grama Panchayats as the cutting edge of
local service provision, and Grama Sabha
and Ward Sabhas as instruments of
downward accountability. The new activity
mapping framework devolving functions has
to be accompanied by adequate devolution
of finances and functionaries. To translate
this into reality, the Department of Rural
Development and Panchayat Raj in
coordination with other departments has
devolved certain functions, functionaries
and finances to PRIs.
All the 29 subjects enumerated in part IX of
the constitutions have been transferred to
the PRI Institutions along with funds,
functions and functionaries. Accordingly,
138 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20

activity map is issued as per section 240 of
the KPR Act 1993. Role and responsibility in
implementing the schemes of these subjects
are clearly mentioned in activity map.
5.6 DECENTRALIZED PLANNING

 URBAN DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
Urbanization is sine quo non of economic
development. The State today is in rapid
process of urbanization. It is expected to
reach an urban population proportion of
50% by 2026. Urbanization gives rise to
various issues and problems like
r Urban poverty and Slums.
r Increased pressure on basic
services/civic amenities of housing,
water supply, sanitation, electricity,
r Increased demand for urban schooling
and healthcare,
r Environment pollution and
degradation.
r Solid waste management and
maintenance of roads - a big challenge
for the State Government.
The Urban Development sector is
responsible for overseeing all the aspects of
development of urban areas in the State.

Karnataka is the 7 most urbanized State in
India. As per 2011 Census, 38.6% (i.e. 2.35
crore) of total population in the state reside
in urban areas. (Decennial trends in
urbanization is shown in Table.6.1). In
terms of urbanization, the State has
witnessed an increase of 4.59 per cent in the
proportion of urban population during the
period 2001 to 2011. For the first time since
independence, absolute increase in
population has been more in urban areas
than in rural areas. Karnataka's urban
population has grown by 31.27% between
2001 and 2011, compared with 28.85% in
the previous decade. The growth of urban
population between 2001 and 2011 is also
higher as compared to 7.63% growth in the
rural population in the same period. The
percentage of Urban population in the State
is above national average in all the censuses
and the gap is increasing over the years. The

b) Sub-Urban Rail System for Bengaluru:
The Directorate is also coordinating for the
development of Suburban Rail Network
connecting in Bangalore.
I. GoK has accorded approval for phase-
wise implementation of Bengaluru
Suburban Rail System on a joint
venture with Ministry of Railways at a
cost of Rs. 345 crores. Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) was signed by the
State Government with Ministry of
Railways on 16.01.2017 to take up
conversion of 15 pairs of conventional
trains to MEMU services and
augmenting MEMU maintenance
facilities at Banaswadi on 80:20 cost
sharing pattern between Government of
Karnataka and Ministry of Railways
respectively. So far 16 units of MEMU
rakes are procured and converted to 10
pair of trains. The Government has so
far released Rs.100 crores to SWR
towards GoK share.
II. The formation of SPV, as a subsidiary of
Rail Infrastructure Development
Corporation- Karnataka (K-RIDE)
which is State Joint Venture Company
of MoR and GoK, is approved by the
board of K-RIDE and the process of
setting up SPV is underway.
III. South Western Railways had identified
priority projects that are to be
implemented through Special Purpose
Vehicle (SPV).Accordingly, GoK has
sanctioned the identified projects worth
Rs.1745 Crores of Doubling,
Electrification, Automatic Signaling
and Procurement of Rakes to be
implemented by SPV.
IV. Subsequently, South Western Railways
submitted Detailed Project Report for
Bengaluru Sub-Urban Rail. The
completion cost for dedicated Bangalore
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Sub Urban Rail Corridor is estimated at
Rs. 18,621 crores. The proposed
alignment has 62 stations and details of
the four corridors with a total route
length of 148.17 kms. GoK has
accorded approval to this revised
project. Approval of MoR is awaited for
start of implementation of the project.
For the year 2019-20 an amount of Rs.
400.00 crores is provided for
implementation of Bengaluru Sub
Urban Rail Project. Expenditure is
anticipated during the last quarter of
F.Y.
C) Public Bicycle Sharing System in
Bengaluru:
The public bicycle sharing system in
Bengaluru is a dock-less model, where
multiple private bicycle sharing operators
will offer their services in various parts of the
city. The cycles can be located and unlocked
using a mobile phone application provided
by the service provider and the user will be
charged based on the duration of usage. The
Public Bicycle Sharing System in Bengaluru
is branded as “Trin-Trin”, in lines with the
Mysuru Public Bicycle Sharing System.
In first phase, DULT identified over 400
bicycle parking hubs in a closely spaced
network across areas like HSR Layout,
Koramangala, Indiranagar, CBD, Vidhana
Soudha etc. and at all the Namma Metro
stations (40 nos). Presently over 3000 cycles
are available to public and is expected to be
expanded to 6000 cycles. The Trin-Trin
system will be expanded to other areas with
potential for high usage like tech parks in a
phased manner.
DULT has issued permit to operate bicycle
sharing in the city to 4 operators, namely,
Yulu, PEDL by Zoomcar, Lejonet and
Bounce. The PBS will be handled by the
newly formed society, called Karnataka
Non-Motorized Transport Agency (KNMTA)
The Government of Karnataka has initially
allocated an amount of Rs. 80.18 crore for
the implementation of the PBS system in
Bengaluru. 50% of this amount will be met
out from State Urban Transport Fund
(SUTF) and the balance 50% of grants will be
earmarked from the budget allocation.
During the year 2018-19 GoK has released
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Rs. 5.00 crores and for the year 2019-20 an
amount of Rs. 10.00 crores has been
budgeted. Rs. 17.38 crores under SUTF to
KNMTA Society for implementation.B.B.M.P
has awarded the contract for construction of
273 hubs. However there were certain
issues with regard to identified hubs for
which resurvey was conducted jointly by
B.B.M.P and DULT and the modified hubs
are now being taken up for construction.
The expenditure is anticipated during the
last quarter of this F.Y.
d) Green Links Programme of NMT
Projects in District Headquarters:
Directorate of Urban Land Transport has
formulated “Green Links” programe to take
up non-motorised transport projects and
District Headquarters in the State for
planning, design, funding and
implementation in collaboration with the
local ULBs. Under this program, at the start
of every financial year, KNMTA shall invite
proposals from ULB's, Government
Agencies/Statutory Bodies for availing
financial assistance for development of NMT
infrastructure in ULBs. The activities would
involve improvement of pedestrian and
cycling infrastructure in important areas of
central business area or active commercial
corridors. Full pedestrianization of locations
around heritage monuments, city core
areas, market street etc., will also be taken
up.
Guidelines for identification of projects
under this programme is finalized.
Proposals are invited from concerned ULB's
to propose stretches of road up to 5 km that
meets the guidelines framed for the
programme. Accordingly, proposals from 06
Urban Local Bodies of Vijayapura, Bellary,
Raichur, Tumkur, Chitradurga and
Mangalore are received for development of
footpaths/cycle path in the respective City
Business Divisions. Based on these
proposals and the guidelines of the
programme, concept reports were prepared
by DULT and handed over to these Urban
LocalBodies for preparation and submission
of Detailed Project Reports by November
2019. The actual implementation of the
projects is likely to commence from January
2020. In the meantime proposals are invited
155
from other Urban Local Bodies to avail the
financial assistance under this programme.
6.4.7 State Urban Transport Fund:
The State Urban Transport Fund has been
leveraged to promote DULT's mandate. It
includes assistance provided for
introduction of Public Transport System in
cities of Karnataka, assistance for
construction of Transit Infrastructure in
cities, implementation of Cycle Tracks in the
neighbourhoods of Bangalore, passenger
information for TTMCs in Bangalore etc.
Since 2011-12 up till November 2019. An
amount of Rs. 441.57 Crores was
earmarked as against which Rs. 322.68
Crores has been released for implemen-
tation. During the year 2019-20, 49 ongoing
projects are in progress, 03 of new projects
for providing assistance are approved and
04 projects are completed, which include
projects on augmentation of buses,
construction of bus infrastructure facilities,
footpath improvements, cycling
infrastructures, etc. An amount of Rs. 23.39
crores is utilized by various urban transport
projects as against the allocation of Rs.
77.39 crores.
6.5 URBAN ENVIRONMENT
The geographical expansion and
demographic growth of urban areas have
exerted an adverse impact on the urban
environment. The large scale conversion of
agricultural land in the urban periphery for
urban uses like industries, housing and
infrastructure has resulted not only in loss
of greenery but in creation of urban heat
islands. The increase in motor vehicular
traffic in cities and industrialization has
contributed to air pollution which in turn
has an adverse effect on the health of the
people. The increasing consumption of
water is leading to depletion of water
resources, particularly underground water.
The enormous quantities of waste generated
in cities, proliferation of slums and lack of
sanitation are serious environmental
hazards. These issues need to be addressed
to meet environmental goals.
6.5.1 Solid Waste Management:
Solid Waste Management is one of the basic
functions of the Municipalities. Rapid
156
urbanization, heterogeneous nature of
waste, lack of awareness among the public
and various other stake holders, lack of
appropriate infrastructure, disintegrated &
unscientific approach of waste management
has made the waste management into an
unmanageable situation.
There are totally 281 Urban Local Bodies
(ULBs) in the State (including 4 notified area
commissioned & BBMP). Excluding BBMP,
217 ULBs generates 5020 tons of municipal
solid waste and it is estimated that 61 new
ULBs generates about 480 tons of MSW
every day. AS per the Solid Waste
Management Rules, 2016 of Ministry of
Environment, Forest and Climate Change,
all the ULBs are responsible for
development of necessary infrastructure for
collection, storage, segregation,
transportation, processing and disposal of
municipal solid wastes.
Initiatives Taken Up in BBMP.
The Government of Karnataka (GoK) with an
objective to improve the quality of Solid
Waste Management (SWM) services in the
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike
(BBMP) area has proposed to establish Solid
Waste processing, treatment and disposal
facilities. The Karnataka Urban

plants, private operators have been
appointed through a “Performance Based
Management Contract” for carrying out day-
to-day operations in an efficient and
effective manner.
The details of the mechanical composting
facilities and the current status are as
follows;
r Fire fighting works in 3 plants are
final stage (Lingadheeranahalli,
Subbarayanapalya &
Doddabidarkallu).
The overall expenditure is Rs.313 crore as
on November 2019.

6.5.5 Environmental Challenges (air
pollution, water pollution, noise
pollution etc.):
Some of the most critical problems facing
our cities concern are the health impacts of
urban pollution generated by inadequate
water, sanitation, drainage, poor waste
management and air pollution. This set of
problems known as the 'Brown Agenda'
combined with what are called the 'Green
Issues' such as depletion of water and forest
resources, up gradation of environmentally
fragile lands, occupation of areas prone to
flooding, landslides etc. and the carbon
emissions from energy use, heating,
industry and transport now known as
'Climate Change Issues' all pose serious
challenges to the health of the eco system of
a city and its people. To tackle these issues,
an Urban Environmental Management
Action Plan must be formulated. A city
specific plan would be required for large
cities such as Bengaluru, Hubballi-
Dharwad, Mysuru and Mangalore and a
common strategy can be evolved for other
towns and smaller cities in the State. The
major components of the action plan could
be the following:
159
i) Conservation of Water Resources:
The objective should be to reduce the
demand for fresh water. Conservation
measures such as rain water harvesting
should be made mandatory.
ii) Waste Water Management: The
recycling and re-use of waste water
should be encouraged in cities which
generate substantial quantities of
sewerage and silage. Decentralized
waste water treatment plants must be
set up at appropriate places.
iii) Controlling Air pollution: Air quality
monitoring systems must be set up to
measure various pollutants like carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide etc
Controlling air pollution depend upon
factors such as density of vehicular
traffic and emission from industries.
The Prevention of Air Pollution Act will
have to be enforced strictly.
iv) Energy Conservation: Cities consume
enormous quantities of energy. In view
of the shortage of electrical power, it is
imperative to promote the use of
renewable energy such as solar and
wind power and other energy efficiency
measures. Urban design will have to
take into account the efficient use of
energy and promote green buildings.
6.5.6 Urban Conservation and Urban
Heritage:
Urban conservation has been defined as
follows:
“Urban conservation seeks to retain that
part of the urban environment whose
character is improvement of national or
local heritage. It also seeks to enhance the
environmental character by ensuring that
the sitting and the design of any new
development is complementary to it”.
This heritage may be in the form of:
r Buildings or places of architectural,
historical or cultural importance.
r Unique temples, mosques, and other
monuments
r Designed environments such as Russell
Market or City Market in Bengaluru,
Connaught Place in Delhi etc.
160
r Water front areas: lakes, rivers or sea.
r Centres of recreation and tourism -
natural or man made “Other items may
be added depending on their
significance to heritage”.
6.5.7 Waste Water Management (WWM):
The city of Bengaluru has a total area of 800
Sq. Kms which includes core area,
CMC/TMCs and 110 villages of BBMP
limits. BWSSB has the jurisdiction in this
area to supply potable water to the citizens
and to collect, convey and to treat the
wastewater generated. Several schemes
have been implemented to supply potable
water to the city. For collection of
wastewater generated in the city, about
5994 Kms of smaller diameter pipelines are
laid. To convey the collected wastewater to
the treatment plants, 720 Kms of higher
diameter pipes are laid. Some of the
pipelines were laid about 40 to 50 years
back. Due to various reasons, viz. ageing of
sewers, encroachment of sewers, damages
in the sewerage system, crown corrosion of
sewers, abuse of sewers, direct discharges
from the houses built on the side of Storm
Water Drain, direct discharges from
apartments, new layouts etc., a part of
wastewater is flowing through Storm Water
Drains.
To avoid waste water flowing in storm water
drains and to convey the waste water to the
nearby waste water treatment plants, the
Board has carried out the following projects:
a) Environmental Action Plan (EAP) – A:
This plan was initiated during 2001. 33
Kms of the existing trunk sewers were
replaced at a cost of Rs.54.00 crore.
There was an increase of 40 MLD of
sewage inflow into the STPs there by,
reduction in wastewater flow in the
SWD.
b) Hebbal Valley Scheme: In this scheme
18 Kms of trunk sewers were replaced
at a cost of Rs. 45.00 Crore. The benefits
of the scheme would be zero flow in the
SWD upto Nagavara Lake, there is no
entry of sewage to Hebbal and Nagavara
Lakes from core area. The STP at Hebbal
would be completely utilized. The
increase in flow is 40 MLD.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
c) Environmental Action Plan–B: The
project consists of replacement of 70
Kms of trunk sewers. The works of this
scheme has been completed and about
150 MLD of sewage flowing in SWDs has
been diverted through the pipe network
to the treatment plants.
For treating the waste water, BWSSB has
established the following 25 Waste water
treatment plants with a capacity of 1067.50
MLD.
Further, under Megacity Revolving Funds
the Board has taken up the following four
projects with a total cost of Rs.1203 crore.
These works are targeted for completion by
the end of 2020.
a) 150 MLD wastewater treatment plant at
V Valley at a cost of Rs.470.93 Crore
b) 100 MLD wastewater treatment plant at
Hebbal at a cost of Rs.360.77 Crore
c) 150 MLD wastewater treatment plant at
K & C Valley at a cost of Rs.297.37 Crore
d) 40 MLD wastewater treatment plant at
Doddabele at a cost of Rs.73.93 Crore
Under AMRUT Scheme, the following
projects have been taken up in Waste Water
Management Zone. These works are under
progress and targeted for completion by end
of 2020.
1) 5 MLD wastewater treatment plant at
Sarakki at a cost of Rs.14.50 crore.
2) 5 MLD wastewater treatment plant at
Chikkabegur at a cost of Rs.13.90 crore.

Structure Plan:-
The structure plan prepared by the BMRDA
in 1998 based on the availability and future
prospects in respect of the natural resources
and infrastructure and the trend of
urbanization in the region was approved by
the Government during 2005. As per the
Structure Plan, the areas suitable for
urbanization have been categorized as Area
Planning Zones (APZs) and areas where
agriculture is a predominant occupation
and forestry is abundant, conservation has
been stressed more and such areas have
been classified as Interstitial Zones (IZs).
The Structure Plan prepared by the BMRDA
is in the nature of a broad area development
plan for the entire BMR and requires
preparation of detailed sector specific and
area specific plans. Separate Planning
Authorities and Urban Development
Authorities have been constituted for the
various Local Planning Areas under the
Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act,
1961 and other Acts for preparation of
detailed Master Plans and enforcement of

6.8 URBAN PLANNING
Urban planning in the State, as in the rest of
the country, has been largely identified with
town planning or land use, planning. It is
necessary to broaden the vision of the urban
planning process and integrate spatial
planning with economic development
planning. The main components of urban
Planning are:
6.8.1 Integrating spatial planning with
economic development planning:
The 74th CAA has provided a new
framework to the planning process and
mandates:
a) Constitution of a District Planning
Committee at the district level charged
with the responsibility of preparing a
draft District Development Plan.
b) Constitution of a Metropolitan Planning
Committee in every metropolitan area
which would be responsible to prepare a
draft development plan for the
metropolitan area.
c) Municipalities are responsible for
urban planning including town
planning and for preparation of plans
for economic development and social
justice.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
6.8.2 State Level Spatial Planning:
The approach to urban development in the
Five Year Plans has been ad hoc and
piecemeal. As pointed out by the National
Commission on Urbanization, there has
been a lack of spatial concern in the
planning process, and no efforts have been
made to link the process of urbanization
with the general pattern of economic
development. Spatial planning deals with a
hierarchical system of settlements and
plays a vital role in investment decisions
depending on the growth potential of
different settlements. Planned economic
development should take into account the
spatial aspects of development. The
objective of spatial planning is to generate a
process of spatial development which
optimizes utilization of resources, reduces
regional, spatial and economic imbalances,
strengthens rural and urban relationships,
protects the environment and maintains an
ecological balance.
6.8.3 Regional perspectives:
The Industrial Policy of the state aims at
industrialization in backward regions and
also development of industrial corridors and
identifying potential locations to set up
industries. In this context, it is essential to
identify a spatial configuration of the
existing and future urbanization in or near
future cities and along emerging urban
corridors.
a) Planning for metropolitan areas:
Although Bengaluru is the only
metropolitan city in Karnataka at present,
Hubballi-Dharwad and Mysuru are fast
emerging as metros and as such, it is
necessary to plan for orderly development of
these three metropolitan areas in the State.
The Bengaluru metropolitan area covers an
extent of about 1307 sq. kms of which about
420 sq. kms is earmarked as agricultural
land or green belt. The Bengaluru City
Corporation or BBMP which has been
extended recently from an area of 223 sq.
kms to 820 sq. kms comes within the
metropolitan planning area. The Bengaluru
Development Authority is the Planning
Authority for the metropolitan area and is
also responsible for land development and
169
housing. With increasing urbanization in its
hinterland; Bengaluru is facing enormous
challenges in providing infrastructure and
services to meet the needs of the growing
population. The BMRDA was set up in 1985
to address the problems of the region and
prepare a Structure Plan. The Bengaluru
Metropolitan Comiittee has been
constituted for the Bengaluru Metropolitan
Region covering Bengaluru Urban,
Bengaluru Rural and Ramanagaram
districts. In order to deal effectively with the
planning and development issues of
Hubballi- Dharwad and Mysuru,
Metropolitan Planning Committees must be
set up for these two cities to plan for their
future growth. The physical jurisdiction of
these two metropolitan areas must be
carefully demarcated taking into
consideration the peripheral outgrowths
and potential for urban expansion.
b) Planning at the city level:
Under the Constitution, urban planning,
town planning, social and economic
development and protection of the
environment are to be performed by the
urban local bodies. Once the scope of the
municipal functions is expanded, municipal
management will acquire a new dimension.
To the traditional municipal functions of
water supply, sanitation, solid waste
management and regulatory functions such
as licensing, construction of buildings,
regulation of food establishments etc. will be
added. At present, Master Plans under the
KTCP Act are prepared by the Local planning
Authorities or UDAs. It is proposed to
prepare only one plan at the city level which
includes the spatial plan, development plan
and development control measures by the
Municipality. The capacity building of ULBs
is essential to take up the planning
responsibilities.
The time frame for different plans will be as
follows:
(a) A 15 – 20 year Spatial Perspective Plan
for the State.
(b) A five year development plan for the
district/ metropolitan area.
( c) A five year plan for each municipality
with city / town.
170
(d) Annual plan for the district and the
local body with budgetary allocations.
c) Town and Country Planning:
Preparation of Master Plans is essential for
the orderly development of cities, towns and
villages in the State and providing technical
assistance to Urban Development
Authorities/ Planning Authorities and Local
Bodies in the State for the implementation &
enforcement of these plans and schemes.
The Karnataka Town and Country Planning
Act, 1961 has been extended to 157 urban
centres in the State so far and Statutory
Authorities have been constituted in these
urban centres by declaring Local Planning
Area. Accordingly, 30 Urban Development
Authorities excluding Bangalore
Development Authority and 52 Planning
Authorities are functioning in the State and
for 74 Towns, Municipal/ Town Panchayath
limits are declared as Local Planning Areas
and the respective Municipal Councils are
functioning as Planning Authorities and as
per 74th Constitutional Amendment Act,
these Local Bodies are required to function
as Planning Authorities and have to perform
the planning functions also.
The Department is technically assisting the
Planning Authorities in preparation of
Master Plans for the respective Local
Planning Areas and as on date, Government
has approved Master Plans for 100 Cities/
Towns in the State.
The Department extends technical
assistance to Karnataka Housing Board,
Karnataka Industrial Area Development
Board, Karnataka Slum Development
Board in preparation of layout plans
Further, the Department is extending
technical assistance to Local Bodies / other
government agencies Housing Redevelop-
ment schemes, Rehabilitation schemes,
Ashraya schemes.
The minister for Urban Development is the
Chairman and The Director of Town and
Country Planning is working as the Member
Secretary to the Karnataka State Town

6.9 FINANCING URBAN DEVELOPMENT
The resource base of the Urban Local Bodies
are Own revenue (tax and non-tax),
Government grants, User charges and
External assistance (loans). The Urban
Local Bodies require the financial resources
for Provision of municipal services,
Operation and Maintenance of assets
(O&M), Infrastructure Development and
Debt Servicing
In general the ULBs are characterized by low
municipal receipts leading to low municipal
expenditure and low level of municipal
services. This can be explained by low
elasticity and buoyancy of local taxes, poor
tax administration and lack of financial
autonomy for local governments.
6.9.1 Grants from State Finance
Commission
The state's devolution of revenue grants
thus takes place through the institution of
the SFC. The framework of devolution
suggested by the SFCs demarcated the
amount of state resources to be made
available to the local governments and
applied a percentage share on that amount
for devolution to rural and urban local
bodies. The 3rd Finance Commission in its
2009 report recommended for providing 10
% of state NLNORR funds to Urban Local
Bodies and also recommended a formula to
distribution of the fund. In order to decide
the ULBs share it is recommended to
consider NLNORR instead of NLGORR and
government has decided to reach the target
beginning from 8.5% of NLNORR from 2011-
12 to 10 % during 2015-16 in a phased
manner.
Highlights of SFC untied Grants:
The State Government grants is being
released through SFC. As per the 3rd SFC
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
ULBs share was 6% which was later
increased to 10% in the year 2009-10.

6.10.2 Tax Revenue:
Municipalities are empowered to levy taxes
on i) buildings or lands, ii) advertisements,
iii) toll on vehicles other than those taxed
under Karnataka Motor Vehicles Taxation
Act, 1957 iv) water rate on water supplied by
the Municipalities. Property tax is the major
source of tax revenue for ULBs, an average
of 53% of own revenues. The ARV system
which was in vogue in the state has been
replaced by the Capital Value System. The
new system is more rational and has come to
be accepted by all municipalities. It is,
however, necessary to take measures to
improve tax administration in terms of
coverage of properties. and collection
efficiency. The performance varies across
different classes of ULBs in tax collection.
6.10.3 Pricing of Services – Tariff Policy:
Local taxes should be viewed as a form of
benefit tax or user charge for services
provided at the local level. In this premise, it
is now being argued that services such as
water supply, sanitation and solid waste
management should be priced on the basis
of the cost of provision. The aim is not just
recovering the cost but to ensure that under
pricing does not lead to over consumption.
At the same time, it is important to
remember that it is the State's responsibility
to provide the minimum level of basic
services for all sections of the population
irrespective of their status and affordability.
It must be borne in mind that traditionally
property tax has been regarded as a general
purpose tax to take care of the civic services

to be provided by the municipalities. The municipal bonds. It is essential to enhance

increased revenue may help to provide
quality services.
6.10.4 Funding Capital Expenditure:
Capital expenditure is usually met through
budget provision and institutional finance.
Institutions such as HUDCO and
multilateral agencies like ADB and World
Bank have been extending financial
assistance to ULBs and other urban
development authorities to build
infrastructure and housing. What Land is
the most productive asset owned by
Municipalities and UDAs. They can increase
their revenues through:
a) Betterment levies, impact charges,
development charges etc.
b) Transfer of Development Rights (TDR).
c) Levy of a Fee on tapping of ground
water.
6.10.5 Access to capital markets:
Cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and
Ahmadabad etc. have raised funds through
credit worthiness of municipalities to raise
funds from capital market. Multilateral
institutions like the World Bank, ADB and
JBIC provide long term debt with
comfortable terms of repayment. Karnataka
has been availing funds from this source
during the last 10-12 years. Public-Private
Partnership is being increasingly advocated
for infrastructure development in recent
years. Karnataka Government has issued
policy guidelines on PPPs. Negotiating and
operating PPPs require a professional
approach and as such ULBs and urban
authorities should equip themselves
adequately for the implementation of PPP
ventures. Private sector participation in
delivery of municipal services is seen as
contributing to efficiency and cost
effectiveness. There are different options for
private sector such as service contract,
management contract, lease, concession
and BOT/ BOOT. Options must be exercised
carefully depending on the nature of the
project and expected outcomes. There is a
view that business must be made to
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
participate in the process of creating new
social assets in the city as social wealth is
created over generations and its exploitation
for private profit without participation in its
creation and upkeep is not fair. It is their
Corporate Social Responsibility also. A
system can be devised whereby businesses
are given exemptions or incentives when
they create assets such as housing and
infrastructure.
6.11 URBAN GOVERNANCE
The structure of urban governance in
Karnataka and in India general, in the
context of a local government, stands very
far from the philosophy of the Constitution
and the theory of decentralization. The
colonial authoritarian structure of city
governance continues to this day with
resistance to sharing political power with
local urban institutions. It is therefore, one
could find a scenario where apart from
urban local bodies, there is a host of
parastatal Urban Development and
departmental agencies dealing with urban
services. This is particularly so in
metropolitan cities where there are separate
government agencies dealing with water
supply and sewerage, transport, land and
infrastructure development etc. This multi
institutional approach has led to lack of
holistic look at urban development.
6.11.1 - 74th Constitutional Amendment
Act:
The passage of 74th CAA has provided new
opportunities for urban governance reforms
in the country. The municipal bodies have
for the first time been provided the
constitutional status of the third tier of
government. They have been vested with
increased responsibilities as a result of the
devolution of 18 functions through the 12th
schedule to the Constitution. Clearly, the
intention of the Constitution is to provide a
decentralized democratic structure of
governance at the local level.
Local democracy is based on the principle of
subsidiarity i.e., functions which are local in
nature should be performed by the local
government. Thus, public health, water
supply, sanitation, public works, public
safety, welfare, recreation and regulation of
173
construction, food and trade activities all
these come within the domain of the local
bodies. Besides these traditional core
functions of municipalities, the
Constitution has also included certain other
functions like planning for economic
development and social justice, urban
poverty alleviation, and urban and town
planning. However, while recognizing local
governments and providing a list of
functions which could be performed by
them, the Constitution does not directly
endow them with any functions,
responsibilities and powers. They derive
their powers and functions from the States
through specific legislation. Thus, in
practice, it is the state governments which
determine the degree of decentralization and
autonomy of the local bodies.
6.11.2 New Institutional Arrangements:
The image of local government is equally
characterized by democracy and efficiency.
This should be the guiding principle. The
elected representatives formulate the policy
and set the targets. The administration's
task is to support the elected
representatives in this endeavor and reach
the defined targets without detailed political
supervision.

6.11.3 Specific Challenges and the
Future Outlook of the Department:
The Urban Local Bodies have to provide
basic services to the citizens and have a vital
role in the State's socio economic transfor-
mation. Most of the ULBs are severely
stressed in terms of infrastructure and
effective service delivery. The major
challenges of the ULBs are indicated below.
Urban Challenges
r Present Urban Population is 2.36 crore.
The increase in the growth of urban
Population and upcoming new ULBs
need more resources to meet the
requirements of the people..
r Migration from Rural to Urban Areas.
r Widening urban infrastructure deficit -
Water Supply, Improving, Monitoring
and Delivery of Public Services.
r Addressing Regional Imbalances.
r UGD, Solid Waste Management
r Power supply and shortage.
 AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED
SECTORS AND FOOD SECURITY
7.1 AGRICULTURE
The Department of Agriculture implements
various schemes and programmes of the
Central and State Government for overall
welfare of the farming community and
ensures timely supply of important inputs
i.e. seeds, fertilizers, plant protection
chemicals, farm equipments along with
effective transfer of technology from lab to
land through demonstrations to achieve
maximum output from the available natural
resources viz. soil, water, etc. This, in turn,
leads to enhancement in the economic
status of the farming community and food
grain needs of the people. Though the
contribution of the agricultural sector in the
Gross State Domestic Product is decreasing,
agriculture remains to be the major
employment generating activity.
Vision:
r To accomplish productivity
enhancement, cost reduction for
sustainable agriculture to ensure
increased income, farmers' welfare and
food security in Karnataka.
Mission:
r Accomplish 4.5% sustained growth rate
in the agriculture sector.
r Promote climate-resilient agriculture
with adequate drought-proofing and
natural resources conservation.
r Promote farmer-friendly Research &
Development, education and effective
technology transfer for cost reduction.
r Institutionalize aggregation of farmers
like Farmer Producer Organizations
(FPOs), farmer's organizations,
federations to roll out Public-Private
Partnership for Integrated Agriculture
Development (PPP- IAD).
r Encourage Rural youth to engage in
agribusiness enterprise with
appropriate policy support.
175
CHAPTER 7
r Accelerate farm mechanization and
post-harvest technology development
with appropriate value chain linkages.
r Convergence of policies, programmes
and technologies for planned
agriculture development.
r Strengthen effective and timely delivery
mechanism of all inputs and related
developmental programmes.
Budgets for Agriculture:
For the year 2019-20, an amount of
Rs.4267.79 crores has been earmarked for
agriculture department both for Plan
scheme and Non-Plan schemes. For
comprehensive development of agriculture,
thrust has been given on department
flagship programmes viz., “Soil Health
Mission”, “Krishi Bhagya”, “Farm
Mechanization”, “Custom Hiring Centers”,
“Micro-irrigation”, and “Zero Budget Natural
Farming”. Besides, emphasizing millet
production and processing aspects.
In the current year, “Raitha Siri”- an
incentive oriented Millet production progra-
mme, “Karavali Package –an incentive
oriented Paddy Production Programme” and
“Encouragement for Value Addition and
Strengthening of Organic Market” are three
new schemes being implemented to
enhance the organic and millet production
which are the Next Generation Smart Foods.
7.2 MONSOON IN 2019
Pre-monsoon Rainfall:
Pre-monsoon rainfall during April-May was
69 mm as against a normal of 118 mm thus
deficit by 42% and it affected normal sowing
of early kharif crops in parts of Mysuru,
Chamarajnagar, Mandya, Chikkamagalur,
Chitradurga and Tumakuru districts.
Southwest Monsoon :
Southwest monsoon advanced in Coastal
and some parts of Southern districts on 12th
176
June and covered all parts of the State by
26th June. Rainfall during June was below
normal in major parts and further deficit
rainfall during July caused set back in
sowing progress of rainfed kharif crops.
Widespread rainfall in August helped to
take-up sowings briskly in many parts the
State. At the same time heavy to very heavy
rainfall and excess water flow in major rivers
led to flood situation in many Northern and
some Southern parts. As a result, crop loss
was reported in 7.21 lakh hectares and the
State Government declared 103 taluks of 22
districts as flood-affected. Further, during
September also excess rainfall occurred in
malnad and coastal regions.
In spite of late onset of monsoon onset and
deficient rainfall during June and July the
seasonal rainfall ended in normal category
with +16% against the normal rainfall.
Cumulative rainfall during southwest
monsoon period from 1st June to 30th
September was 977mm as against a normal
of 839mm and it was deficit in 22 taluks.
Southwest monsoon withdrew from the
th
State on 16 October 2019.
Northeast Monsoon :
Northeast monsoon rains during October
were excess/normal in all districts of the
State, except Yadgir and 62 taluks were
declared as flood affected during October.
During November, rainfall was deficit except
in Ramnagar, Mysuru, Mandya, Bidar,
Belgavi, Bagalkote, Vijaypura, Gadag,
Dharwad, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi
districts. South Interior, Malnad and
Dakshina Kannada and Udupi in Coastal
regions experienced moderate rainfall
during December, while light rainfall was
observed in major parts of North Interior
region. Cumulative rainfall during
st
northeast monsoon period from 1 October
st
to 31 December was 288mm as against a
normal of 188mm, thus excess by 54%.
Details of District-wise and Month-wise
rainfall received during pre-monsoon,
southwest monsoon and northeast
monsoon during the year 2019 are given in
Appendix– 7.1.

7.3 AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION-
PERFORMANCE AND PROSPECTS
The advance estimates of production based
on area coverage under various crops, loss
of crops due to excess rains/floods in some
parts and deficit rainfall in some parts
during 2019-20 indicate likely production of
102.03 lakh tonnes Cereals and 17.37 lakh
tonnes of Pulses against the target of 117.22
and 21.45 lakh tonnes, respectively.
Oilseeds production is estimated to be 10.73
lakh tonnes against the target of 14.71 lakh
tonnes. Production of cotton is likely to be
14.75 lakh bales against the target of 16.58
lakh bales. The shortfall in production
against the set target can be attributed to
i) failure of rains during June and July,
ii) excess rainfall/floods in several parts
during August, September and October iii)
below normal area coverage under Rabi
crops due to excess soil moisture in some
northern parts. However, the current year
agriculture production is anticipated to be
better than the previous year. Area and
Production of Major crops are given in
Table 7.1.

7.4 LAND UTILIZATION AND
OPERATIONAL HOLDINGS
7.4.1 Land Utilization :
As per the land utilization statistics of
2017-18, out of the total 190.50 lakh
hectares geographical area of the State, the
net cropped area was 98.95 lakh hectares
accounting to 51.94%. Gross cropped area
was 119.94 lakh hectares including 20.98
lakh hectares area sown more than once,
this works out to 121% cropping intensity.
Around 16.13% of the area was covered
under forests, 7.88% area was under non-
agricultural uses, 4.16% of the land was
barren and uncultivable land and 2.10% of
the land was a cultivable waste. Permanent
pastures, grazing land and miscellaneous
tree crops constituted 6.19% of the total
geographical area. About 11.58% of the total
area falls under current fallow and other
fallow lands. The details of the Land
Utilization are presented in Table 7.3,
Appendix 7.9(a) and 7.9(b).
7.4.2 Agriculture Land Holdings :
As per Agriculture Census 2015-16, there
are 86.81 lakh farm holdings operating an
area of 118.05 lakh hectares. The average
size of holding is 1.36 hectare. Small and
marginal holdings account for 80% of total
holdings and operate 44% of the total
operated area, while semi-medium, medium
and large holdings account for 20% of the
total holdings and their operational land
holding is 56% out of the total operational
area. Details of Agricultural Land Holdings
in Karnataka is given in Table 7.4.
7.5 CROPPING PATTERN
Karnataka State falls is in Zone X (Southern
Plateau and Hilly region) and Zone XII (West
Coast Plains and Ghats region) as per the
Agro-climatic Regional Planning of Planning
Commission. The State is divided into 10
Agro-climatic zones on the basis of soil
structure, humidity, elevation, topography,
vegetation, rainfall and other agro-climatic
factors.
On account of this varied agro-climatic
features, almost all cereals, pulses, oilseeds
and commercial crops are cultivated in
different parts of the State. Farmers in
Karnataka are very innovative and take lead
in diversification as per the market trends.
The average area (2014-15 to 2018-19) of
agriculture crops grown in three seasons'
viz. Kharif (67.16 lakh ha.), Rabi (30.07 lakh
ha.) & summer (3.64 lakh ha.) is 100.87
lakh hectares. Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds,
Cotton, Sugarcane and Tobacco account for
46%, 30%, 13%, 6%, 6% and 1%

Agriculture
7.7.3.1. Soil Health Mission:
Sustaining agricultural productivity
depends on the quality and availability of
natural resources like soil and water.
Agricultural growth can be sustained by
promoting conservation and sustainable
use of these scarce natural resources
through appropriate location-specific
measures. The components of soils are
mineral, organic matter, water and air, the
proportions of which vary and together form
a system for plant growth. Soils are studied
and classified according to their use. Soil
Testing is a part of the discipline of Fertilizer
Use and Management.
In Karnataka, 86.81 lakh farm holdings
exist. At present, 30 Soil testing laboratories
(29 static & 1 mobile soil testing lab) of
Agriculture Department are catering to the
needs of State farmers in respect of soil
testing. Soil health cards are issued to all
the farm holdings once in every two years.
1. To issue soil health cards to all farmers
of the Karnataka in a span of every two
years, to provide a basis to include
nutrient deficiencies in fertilization
practices.
2. To diagnose soil fertility related
constraints with standardized
procedures for sampling and analysis
and design taluka/block level fertilizer
recommendations in targeted districts.
3. To develop crops specific nutrient
management in the districts for
enhancing nutrient use efficiency.
4. To promote soil test based balancing of
nutrients to manage fertility-related
risks for higher production.
5. To conduct demonstrations with
diversified crops to quantify benefits of
improved nutrient management
practices in terms of increased crop
yields and economic viability of farmers.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
The pay for the outsourced staff of soil
testing labs and Data Entry Operators,
building and electricity cost, purchase of
equipment/filter paper/chemicals and cost
for maintenance of soil health centres are
borne under this programme. Table 7.16
Expected Outcome:
r It will promote a balanced and judicious
use of plant nutrients.
r Promotion of integrated nutrient system
is expected to reduce the consumption
of chemical fertilizers by 20%.
r The productivity of selected crops is
expected to increase by about 20%.
r The demand for organic sources of plant
nutrient like bio-fertilizers, organic
manure, vermi-compost, slow-release
nitrogenous fertilizer like
Neem/Sulphur coated urea will
increase, which in turn improve the soil
fertility as well nutrient use efficiency.
7.7.3.2. Soil Health Management :
During 2018-19, 143 village-level soil
testing projects have been established by
providing financial assistance to selected
beneficiaries. 2 soil testing laboratories and
3 fertilizer quality control laboratories of the
Agriculture department have been
strengthened. During 2019-20, an action
plan for Rs. 500.00 lakhs for promotion &
distribution of micronutrients have been
submitted to GoI. Approval of the action

7.7.3.3. Soil Health Cards :
It requires a long period to analyze the soil
samples from all the farm holdings and
issue soil health cards. Soil test values will
remain varied for three years. So, for at least
3 years once soil analysis should be done.
Government of India has launched soil
health card scheme under National Mission
for Sustainable Agriculture to issue soil
health cards to all the farm holdings once in
every 2 years. So, State Government is
implementing the programme intending to
analyze the samples from all the farm
holdings and issue soil health cards once in
every two years. First (2015-16 & 2016-17)
& Second (2017-8 & 2018-19) cycle of soil
health card programme has been
successfully completed. During 2019-20,
this programme is limited to pilot project,
wherein one village in each taluk is selected
as model village and in these model villages'
soil sample collection and distribution of soil
health cards is based on farm holdings.
Sharing pattern for this programme during
2018-19 is 60:40 (Central:State). 177
villages are selected and the target for 2019-
20 is 65,034 soil health card distributions.
So far 48,137 soil health cards are
distributed. Details of soil testing
programme are given in Table 7.17.

7.8 MAJOR PROGRAMMES
7.8.1 Krishi Bhagya
Karnataka is predominantly an agrarian
state wherein nearly 68% of the cultivated
area is under rainfed farming. The scope for
increasing the irrigation potential in the
state is limited given its geographical
position as an upper riparian state and
further the close analysis of rainfall pattern
of the state, indicates that 3 to 4 years in
every decade face severe drought,
sometimes consecutively also. A vast
majority of dryland area receive an annual
average rainfall of 450 to 700 mm, which is
highly erratic and unevenly distributed in
cropping seasons. Reduced rainy days and
increased rainfall intensity as a resultant of
climate change has added undesirable
dimension to the sustainability of rainfed
ecosystem in the state.
To address these issues, Krishi Bhagya
scheme is being implemented in the state
from 2014-15 mainly to help farmers by
making dry land farming not only
sustainable but also lucrative by harvesting
195
surplus rain water and using it as a
lifesaving resource.
Mode of Implementation:
The program was implemented in 23
districts of the state during 2014-15
covering 107 taluks of 5 major dryland areas
and further during the year 2015-16, the
scheme was extended to 131 taluks of 25
districts where the average annual rainfall
was less than 850 mm. During 2016-17
another taluk was added making the total
132 taluks across 25 districts. From 2017-
18, owing to the demand from the farming
community, the scheme is extended to all
the districts of the state excluding command
areas.
Objectives
The main objective of the scheme is to
improve rain fed agriculture scenario with
the efficient management of rain water, to
enhance the farm productivity. Thrust is
being given to conserve rain water and
utilization of the collected water to irrigate
the crop at critical stages of the crop growth
Components:
Krishi Bhagya was implemented in from of
package from the year 2014-15. The
components provided to farmers under
subsidy during this year are construction of
Farm Ponds to collect runoff water, Lining of
ponds with Polythene Lining/alternate
lining to avoid percolation losses,
distribution of Diesel Pump sets to lift the
stored water, distribution of Micro irrigation
(Sprinkler/Drip) sets to irrigate the crops
and shade nets around the farm ponds to
avoid evaporation losses and accidental
deaths.
Allocation, Releases and Expenditure under
Krishi Bhagya from 2016-17 to 2019-20 are
given in Table 7.23.
Outcome
From the year 2014-15 to 30.11.2019,
totally 3.02 lakhs. (Krishi Bhagya-Farm
ponds-2,79,291 and convergence with
watershed dept-26,801 farm ponds and
2460 poly house/shade net) farmers have
been benefitted under the scheme by
utilizing Rs.2786.55 crore (Krishi Bhagya-

schemes Rs.193.26 Crores)
Further, as per the evaluation reports of the
University of Agricultural Sciences
Bangalore, Dharwad and Shimoga, this
scheme has enabled the farmers:
1. Grow high-value vegetables and flower
crops in poly houses/shade net fetching
higher yield and income.
2. It has helped in generating employment
and thus preventing the migration of
youths from the rural area
3. Use of stored water through
drip/sprinkler has lead to increase in
water use efficiency and area under
irrigation.
4. Adoption of the scheme has helped in
improving the standard of living and
socio-economic status of the farmers.
5. Increase in value of the farm assets.
7.8.2 Organic farming promotional
activities:
This mega programme initiated during the
latter part of 2013-14 is an extension of the
earlier Organic village/site programme to
hobli level with few modifications in its
implementation viz. developing good
marketing linkages and market
development to the organic produce of the
state. This programme is being
discontinued from 2019-20 except for
providing certification assistance to the
eligible SBY groups.

certification programme through Karnataka
State Organic Certification Agency (KSOCA).
Further, to facilitate systematic marketing
of organic produce, Govt. of Karnataka has
facilitated setting up of 15 regional
federations of organic farmers' associations
throughout the State. It is proposed to take
up collection, grading, value addition,
processing, packing, brand development,
marketing of organic produce, consumer
awareness programme and other activities
through these Regional Federations. It is
expected to improve the economic condition
of the organic farmers with the expected
premium price for their organic produce.
Karnataka State Cooperative Organic
Marketing Federation Ltd. has been set up
in the state.
In addition following New Programmes from
2019-20 are being implemented in the
State:
1. Zero Budget Natural Farming.
2. Raita Siri.
3. Subsidy for setting up Processing,
Grading, Value addition, packing,
Labelling and Branding of Organic &
ZBNF products.
4. Organic Farming Adoption &
Certification.
I. Zero Budget Natural farming:
Zero Budget Natural Farming is a low-input,
low-risk farming practice and a climate-
resilient model since it is in harmony with
nature. Pioneered by Shri. Subhash
Palekar, an innovative farmer from
Maharashtra, ZBNF has been in vogue on
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
small scale across several farms in the
country for over a decade now. In Karnataka
Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is
being proposed for the First time under the
State Scheme by Hon'ble Chief Minister of
Karnataka.
Mode of implementation:
r Nodal Department: Karnataka State
Department of Agriculture
r Implementation: Through the
concerned State Agriculture/
Horticulture Universities
r Project area: 2000 hectares in each of
the 10 Agro Climatic Zones on pilot
basis.
r Target: To cover 1.00 lakh hectares in
the next 5 years.
r Mode of implementation:
Demonstrations / Experimental trials
in the farmer's field and Research
Stations on Operational Research
Project (ORP) mode.
Budget allocation:
A budget of Rs. 50.00 crores and Rs. 40
crores earmarked during the year 2018-19
& 2019-20 respectively.
Progress achieved:
In the first phase, experimental trials are
being conducted at research stations
coming under 5 SAU's of Karnataka. In the
second phase, demonstrations are being
conducted at selected farmer's field and the
progress achieved is as below:
r 2000 hectares of area target is fixed per
zone on cluster basis with minimum 20
hectare per a cluster.
r Training to selected Community
Assistant/Community Resource
Persons have been conducted at each
zone by SAU's
r Baseline survey of the selected farmers
have been carried out.
r Analysis of soil samples drawn from
selected farmers is in progress.
r Training and exposure visits have been
conducted for selected farmers.
197
r Implementation of ZBNF at farmers
field is planned as per Crop-wise
technical information for each zone
prepared by Zone head of SAU's.
r 31,622 Farmers / 18,500 hectares of
area has been identified for ZBNF
practice in the state.
II. Raita Siri- Encouragement for farmers
to grow minor millets
Millets contain higher protein, fibre,
calcium and minerals than the widely
consumed fine cereals, and can ensure
nutritional security to the poor people who
cannot afford a variety of food items in their
diet. Millets are rich in nutrients as
compared to cereals and can grow well
under dryland conditions and relatively
poor soils and require low inputs. The state
government has been encouraging
cultivation of millet crops in the state for the
past few years, in continuation to this
various melas including National and
International Fairs has been organized to
create awareness amongst farmers,
businessmen and consumers regarding
benefits of millets besides creating
/facilitating market linkages.
During the year 2019-20, a new scheme
called “Raita Siri” has been announced to
encourage farmers to take up minor millets
in a big way. It is proposed to promote area of
6 Nutri Cereals viz., Foxtail millet (Navane),
Little millet (Saame), Kodo millet (Haraka),
Porso millet (Baragu), Barnyard millet
(Oodhalu) and Brown top millet (Korale). The
scheme will be implemented in all the
districts of Karnataka. This will encourage a
large number of farmers to grow nutria
cereals by which the area & production
would be increased.
Components under Raita Siri:
1. Assistance to farmers through DBT @
Rs. 10,000/- per ha.
2. Assistance for establishment of Nutri
Cereals processing units at 50%
Subsidy - maximum of Rs.10.00 lakh
per unit.
198
Objectives:
r Encouraging farmers to cultivate nutri
cereals by creating awareness among
the farmers by incentivizing farmers
through DBT.
r Area expansion of Nutri cereals in the
State.
r Recognizing the lack of modern
processing facilities as one of the major
obstacles in promoting millets across
Karnataka state.
r Improve or setting up processing units.
Targetted Beneficiaries:
Any Farmer taking up minor millet
cultivation as the main crop are eligible.
While the assistance to the primary
processing units will be given to Farmer
Entrepreneurs/ SHG/FPO of the local area
by inviting applications.
Outcome:
Enhancement of area under Nutri cereals
from the proposed expansion of cropped
area under minor millets. Since the
processing of millets is still a big challenge,
Nutri cereals processing are also being
encouraged under this scheme by way of
assisting suitable nutri cereal processing
units. Nutri cereals when processed and
polished are sold at double the price in the
markets. The value-added products are in

great demand among all sections of society.
In turn, it would lead to an increase in the
income of the farmer who grows Nutri
Cereals.
III. Subsidy for setting up Processing,
Grading, Value addition, Packing,
Labelling and Branding of Organic &
ZBNF products.
Under this Programme subsidy of 50%
limited to Rs. 10.00 lakhs is provided to
farmers, farmer groups, FPOs, Startups,
Entrepreneurs to setup Processing,
Grading, Value addition, Packing, Labeling
and Branding of Organic & ZBNF products.
An amount of Rs. 2.00 crores is earmarked
for 2019-20. This is a proposal based
programme.
IV. Organic Farming Adoption &
Certification.
Under this programme farmers and farmer
groups are provided 75% subsidy for the
construction of Vermi Compost units, Bio-
digesters, Cattle floor along with bearing the
cost of Certification charges. This is also a
proposal based programme which is being
implemented through Karnataka State
Seeds and Organic Certification Agency.

recommend suitable policy measures to
ensure remunerative prices to farmers.
Karnataka is the first state in the country to
form the Agricultural Price Commission.
Since 2014-15 KAPC is involved in the
scientific estimation of cost of cultivation of
major agriculture and horticulture crops
and submitting the reports annually by
analyzing the cost of cultivation data,
supply and price situation with overall
scenario of agriculture sector in the state.
Based on the KAPC report and its
recommendation the state government is
regularly undertaking market interventions
to stabilize market prices.
KAPC as an advisory body is keeping abreast
with national-level policies related to
agriculture market and prices. To ensure
remunerative prices GoI initiated new three
schemes Viz., “1. Market Assurance
Scheme, 2. (MAS)”, “Price Deficiency
Payment Scheme (PDPS)” & 3. Private
Procurement and Stockiest Scheme (PPSS)”.
Recently KAPC organized a National
Workshop on these schemes by inviting all
the stakeholders and the policymakers from
different parts of the country. On its part,
KAPC has submitted recommendations to
State Government is contemplating to
implement PDPS for Onion and Tomato by
considering the experience of Haryana.
During 2018-19 for the first time, the state
government has introduced Price Deficiency
Payment Scheme (PDPS) for Onion and
Mango, by considering its success during
2019-20 state government has made
separate budgetary allocation for this
purpose.

During 2019-20 the State Government has
announced an additional incentive of
Rs. 300/- per quintal of Tur over MSP
announced by Central Government and
made required arrangements for
procurement of Paddy, Ragi, Jowar and Tur.
KAPC will be submitting its 2019-20 report
with scientific analysis of production cost,
price forecasting, marketing etc., of 27
major Agriculture and Horticulture by
collecting data from 2050 farmers in 90
taluks distributed across 24 districts with
the assistance of Cost of Cultivation &
Market Intelligence Cells (COC MI) setup in
5 universities of Agricultural sciences in the
state.
During 2019-20 KAPC is holding wider
consultation with farmers and policymakers
to achieve self-sufficiency in producing good
grains required under PDS to achieve the
twin objective of increasing the production
millets such as Ragi and Jowar and rainfed
paddy and assuring assured price to
farmers by procuring the same at Minimum
Support Price. A detailed report with road
map will be submitted to the government
shortly.
KAPC strive to provide good market and
remunerative prices to the farmers and
thereby enhancing the farmers' income and
welfare through integrated measures. KAPC
is working on the task through a
coordinated effort of universities,
development departments, district
administration, institutions etc., In this
regard, KAPC has initiated Pilot Project on
“Enhancing Farmers Income & Welfare in
selected 8 Villages across different Agro
Climatic Zones in Collaboration with KVK's.
KAPC in collaboration with national level
prestigious institutions viz., ISEC, IIHR,
IIPM, and National Law College etc. has
taken up studies on 19 different policy-
related issues concerned with agriculture
growth and development. Based on the
outcome of these studies KAPC has
submitted a report to the Government with
policy recommendation.
Price Commission is also putting its efforts
on developing web-based Decision Support
System (DSS) platform for analyzing the
201
market situation, price forecasting which
help the policymakers to decide on market
intervention. One such online Dash Board
called “Krishi Dharane Vishleshana Phalak
– KRIPA” has been launched. KAPC in
collaboration with Software Giant IBM India
Ltd. has developed an online web-based
dashboard for supply projections and price
forecasting of Tomato and Maize in selected
districts on a pilot basis to explore the
possibility developing AI & ML (Artificial
Intelligence & Machine learning) based
state of the art solutions to agriculture.
This dash board can be accessed at
kapc.mybluemix.net.
Price Commission has also looked into Non-
Price measures to enhance farmers' income.
Study on quantification of reduction in the
cost of cultivation by the use of farm
machinery in major agriculture and
horticulture crops has helped to increase
the use of machinery among farmers and
thereby enhancing their income. KAPC in
partnership with state agriculture and
horticulture universities has brought out an
elaborate list of existing low-cost
technologies and same is incorporated in its
report- 'Assured Prices and Stable Market
for Farmers' Produce'.
Another important aspect of remunerative
prices to farmers is to enhance their
bargaining capacity through group
marketing. In this regard KAPC during
2019-20 in collaboration with Indian
Institute of Plantation Management (IIPM),
Bengaluru has brought out a book entitled
“GROUP APPROACH ON MARKETING OF
FARM COMMODITIES: A ROAD MAP FOR
GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA”,
consisting of eleven papers on different
aspects of group marketing with policy
recommendations. This book is designed to
meet the requirements of the farming
community, particularly Farmers Producer
Organizations (FPOs) and the policymakers
of the Government.
In addition to this, KAPC is continuously
interacting and exchanging views with
Farmers, Farmer Leaders, experts, NGOs,
Various Government Departments and
other senior officers through discussions,
Seminars, Workshops etc., to bring in
202
harmony between farmers and the
Government. Details of Allocation, Release
& Expenditure of KAPC are furnished in

also minimizes the loss due to any weather
aberrations.
7.10. OUTCOME OF VARIOUS
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
The department is initiating necessary
strategies to maintain the agriculture
203
production and welfare of farming
community. As major part of the cultivated
area in the State is under rainfed farming,
the Government has concentrated more on
sustainable production and farmers' income
through flagship programmes i.e. “Krishi
Bhagya” for sustaining the rainfed
production, “Micro-Irrigation” for judicious
use of water, “Raita Siri” for promoting Nutri
cereals “Farm Mechanization” for solving
the scarcity of agricultural labour, “Krishi
Yanthra Dhare” for providing agricultural
implements on rental basis to carry out the
agricultural operations in time and to
reduce the cost of cultivation. The various
development programmes and schemes
implemented by the Government have
resulted in achieving sustainable
production.
Major constraints confronting Agriculture
Sector-
r Predominantly rainfed agriculture,
r Sub-division and fragmentation of
landholdings,
r Inadequate and injudicious use of
irrigation facilities,
r Low level of public investment,
r Exhaustion of the yield potential of new
high yielding varieties,
r Technological & Extension Constraints,
r Environmental degradation and
impaired soil fertility,
r Depleting water resources,
r Adverse impacts of climate change,
r The rising cost of production,
r Diminishing agricultural labour
availability,
r Inadequate post-harvest value
addition,
r Inadequate infrastructure facilities
(lack of proper storage and
transportation facilities warehouses,
cold and dry storage facilities for
perishable goods) &
r Farmers' reduced interest in
agriculture.

a) Karnataka Agricultural Marketing
Policy 2013 and Implementation of an
online trading system
In order to improve the agricultural
marketing system in the state, the
Government had appointed a Committee
under the Chairmanship of Additional
Secretary to Government, Department of
Co-operation. The Agricultural Marketing
Reforms Committee appointed by the State
Government in March 2013 submitted its
report in May 2013. The State Government
has accepted the recommendations of the
Reforms Committee and came out with the
Karnataka State Agricultural Marketing
Policy- 2013 on 4th September 2013. A
Special Purpose Vehicle has been
established on 20-1-2014 for the
implementation of reforms measures.
Implementation of Agricultural Marketing
Policy will help the farmers to get
competitive prices for their commodities,
bring transparency in the system and
facilitate simplification of various activities
in the market yards.
On line trading system is being implemented
to sell the agricultural produce of the
farmers in the markets through the
electronic trading system. Actions are being
taken to ensure transparency, simplify the
marketing procedures, ensure competitive
price for farmers' produce by introducing
technology in all market activities including
auction system, price discovery and
payment of sale proceeds to farmers on line.
Arrangements are being made to link
different markets in the state by the
introduction of technology and facilitating
the traders of different markets in the state
to participate in buying of commodities
online from any of the markets of the state
where the farmers have offered for sale.

b) Minimum Floor Price scheme:
To ensure sustainable development and
stability in agricultural sector and to protect
the interest of the farmers against distress
sale of agricultural commodities, whenever
the rates of such commodities go down, the
Floor Price Scheme for Agricultural/
Horticultural commodities in Karnataka is
being implemented. The scheme is
applicable to all the notified Agricultural &
Horticultural commodities as per Karnataka
Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation
& Development) Act 1966. In addition to this
Scheme, the Price Support Scheme of
Government of India is also being
implemented. By implementing this scheme
it is possible to stabilize the prices in the
markets and ensure a better price for
farmers' produce by avoiding distress sale of
commodities.
The Scheme has come into effect
from 24.11.1999. For the successful
implementation of the said scheme, a
corpus of Revolving Fund was created. As
per Karnataka Agricultural Produce
Marketing (R&D) act 1966, and as per the
decision taken by the Agriculture/
Horticulture Commodities Price
Stabilization Cabinet Sub-Committee, the
Karnataka State Agricultural Marketing
Board is authorized to operate the Revolving
Fund.

B) National Food Security Mission
(NFSM):
In India, every year about 144 lakh tons of
edible oil is being imported at a total cost of
Rs.65,000.00 crores per annum. Therefore,
in order to decrease National foreign
exchange and achieve self sufficiency in
edible oil production, both Central and State
Govt. are encouraging oil palm cultivation
since 1990-91. The financial sharing
pattern between Central and State
Governments is in the ratio of 60:40.
Objectives of the scheme:
r To increase area and productivity of oil
palm crop in the state
r To bring about crop diversity in the
state.
r To improve the economic status of
farmers through oil palm cultivation.
r To bridge the existing gap between
demand and supply of edible oil in the
country.
r To achieve self sustainability in edible
oil production and save foreign
exchange involved in importing edible
oil.
It is known from survey that in Karnataka,
an area of about 2.60 lakh ha. Has potential
for oil palm cultivation. Since, Oil Palm is a
water loving crop, its cultivation is being
taken up by farmers in the districts which
come under Command areas of Cauvery,
Bhadra, Thungabhadra, Krishna,
221
Malaprabha and Ghattaprabha through
Government approved oil palm
entrepreneurs.
For integrated oil palm development, the
responsibility of nursery raising, area
expansion, distribution of inputs,
procurement of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFBs)
and establishment of processing mill has
been entrusted to Private partners. Hence,
this programme is being implemented in a
Public Private Participation (PPP) module.
Currently, 3 entrepreneurs are operating in
Karnataka. In order to protect the interest
of oil palm farmers, oil palm entrepreneurs
and oil palm industry as a whole, the State
Government has passed the “Oil Palm
Cultivation, Production and Processing
regulation Bill” during the year 2013.
Currently in the State, around 6200 farmers
are cultivating oil palm in an area of about
7749 ha out of which 4500 ha is under
bearing. The annual production of oil palm
FFBs is about 13240 M.T, out of which
about 2278 M.T of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is
being extracted.
In order to encourage the farmers to take up
oil palm cultivation, the farmers are being
provided with various kinds of assistance.
To establish oil palm plantations, farmers
are given input assistance at the rate of
Rs.20,000/- per hectare in the form of
inorganic fertilizers for an initial period of
four years or pre-bearing period and
planting material subsidy at Rs.11,912/-
per hectare. Subsidies are also extended for
the purchase of various implements; inter
cropping, borewell, and diesel pumpset.
Farmers are also taken on exposure visits
and imparted training on advance
cultivation practices.
As on November-2019, 1,48,291 seedlings
have been distributed to the farmers for area
expansion.
Well-Organized Marketing Facility:
Under Oil Palm Development Programme, in
order to purchase the produce of farmers,
there is a well-organized buy-back
arrangement. The oil palm entrepreneurs, to
whom specific areas have been allotted,
procure the FFBs from the farmers at a price
222
declared by the Government. The prices are
decided based on scientific formula
approved by Price Fixation Committee, in
which the oil palm farmers, oil palm
entrepreneurs are the members. The
Committee is headed by Principal Secretary
to Government, Horticulture Department.
The entrepreneurs make payment to the
farmers once in a month directly to their
bank account through ECS. The FFBs price
for the month of October-2019 has been
fixed at Rs.7015/- per ton of FFBs.
The Central Govt. has allocated an amount
of Rs.332.54 lakhs for the year 2019-20.
Under State Sector an amount of
Rs.1051.31 lakh and under District Sector
program an amount of Rs.55.20 lakh has
been allocated. The physical and financial
achievements of the oil palm development
program are given in Table 7.37.
C) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee
Yojana (PMKSY):
Water is the most important input in
Agriculture sector especially for
Horticulture crops. Micro Irrigation system
not only increases the water use efficiency, it
also helps in improving yield, quality of
produce, reduced dependency on labour
and in reducing weed menace.
Karnataka is one of the pioneering states in
recognizing the advantages of Micro-
Irrigation (Drip Irrigation and Sprinkler
Irrigation) and has been promoting its use

Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Various important programmes
implemented under RKVY:
a) Incentives for Post Harvest
Management Activities in
Horticulture :
In the state, horticulture crops are grown to
an extent of 20.63 lakh ha, with an annual
production of 185.20 lakh tons. The diverse
agro climatic conditions and crop diversity
prevailing in Karnataka, makes it possible to
grow various types of horticultural crops.
Though, the production of horticultural
crops is steadily increasing, approximately
20-30% of the fruits and vegetables are
wasted due to improper Post Harvest
Management practices.
Aims and Objectives:
r To give greater impetus to Post Harvest
handling, Processing and Value
addition of Horticultural crops.
r To encourage farmers groups and
entrepreneurs to establish horticultural
crop based processing and value
addition units, suiting to the
requirements of the region and the
needs of the consumer.
The annual targets and achievements for
the period 2018-19 to 2019-20 are given in
Table 7.41.
b) Precision Farming in
Banana/Horticulture Crops:
There is scope to increase the yield of
banana up to 40–50% by application of
necessary inputs and adoption of improved
cultivation practices. Precision Farming in
banana programme was taken up under
RKVY in all the 30 districts from 2011-12

onwards. During 2016-17, in addition to
banana, various other horticulture crops
have been included under this project.
The main objective of the programme is to
raise the productivity levels by educating
the farmers about scientific cultivation,
using tissue culture plants, drip irrigation,
fertigation, mulching, integrated nutrition
and appropriate plant protection measures.
During the year 2018-19 an amount of
Rs.100.00 lakh was released with a financial
achievement of Rs. 99.97 lakh covering
about 634.77 acres of Horticulture crop area
under precision farming techniques. Under
this scheme, the benefits were extended
exclusively for scheduled caste and
scheduled tribes' beneficiaries. 305
scheduled caste and 181 scheduled tribe
beneficiaries' availed benefits during 2018-
19.
In 2019-20, the scheme is not being
implemented as there is shortfall in the total
fund allocation for RKVY projects from the
Govt of India.
c) Mechanization :
It has become very essential to encourage
production and post harvest activities in
horticulture with the increase in the value of
horticulture production in the state.
Horticultural Mechanization is a solution for
the problems like drastic shortage of
agricultural labourers and sharp increase in
labour cost.
The main objective of the programme is to
reduce the investment cost in horticulture
and to decrease the cost of cultivation by
reducing dependence on labour.

f) Computerisation of Horticulture
Department:
The Department of Horticulture currently
manages various subsidy schemes under
which funds are released to farmers
throughout the year. Currently the entire
process from identification of beneficiaries
to final disbursement of subsidy is carried
out manually by the Department. As a
consequence, there is lot of difficulties faced
ranging from non-transparent selection
process to difference between the actual
amounts disbursed versus that reported by
the various taluk officials at any given point
of time. The processing and reporting
functions are also very cumbersome.
With the above points in mind, the
Department of Horticulture has taken up
computerization project covering all aspects
of processing of subsidy schemes and all the
stake holders including farmers and offices
involved therein. The project has been
approved during 2015-16 and allocation
has been made under Rashtriya Krishi
Vikas Yojana (RKVY). An amount of
Rs.1045.00 lakh was released during 2016-
17 for this project. The project was
continued during 2017-18 with an
allocation of Rs. 374.00 lakh. During 2018-
19, an amount of Rs.487.00 lakh was
allocated out of which the entire amount
was released for Computerisation of
Horticulture Department. The last
instalment funds of Rs. 162.00 lakh was
released in the fag end of the year. Hence, an
amount of Rs. 325.00 Lakh only could be
utilised during 2018-19 for Software and
Hardware development of Horticulture
Department in the State/Districts and
taluks. The unspent balance amount of
Rs.162.00 lakh has been revalidated and
released during 2019-20 for the approved
programme of 2018-19. Action is in progress
for its utilization in the current year.

g) Development of Farmer Producers
Organisation (FPO):
Collectivization of producers, especially
small and marginal farmers, into producer
organizations has emerged as one of the
most effective pathways to address the
many challenges faced by farmers. Most
importantly, this provides improved access
to investments, technology and inputs and
markets. Department of Agriculture and Co-
operation, Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of
India has identified farmer producers
organizations registered under the special
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 as
the most appropriate institutional form to
mobilize farmers and build their capacity to
collectively leverage their production and
marketing strength.
Objectives :
1. Mobilizing farmers into groups of
between 15- 20 members at the village
level (called Farmer Interest Groups or
FIGs) and building up their associations
to an appropriate federating point i.e.,
Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs)
consisting of 1000 members from 50
FIGs so as to plan and implement
product-specific cluster/commercial
crop cycles.
2. Enhancing productivity through best
agricultural practices
3. Ensuring usage of quality inputs and
services for intensive agriculture
production and enhancing cluster
competitiveness.
4. Facilitating access to fair and
remunerative markets by linking
producer groups to marketing
opportunities through market
aggregators.
During 2016-17, Rs. 326.25 lakh and
Rs.608.64 lakh has been deposited to SFAC
for II year maintenance of 25 new FPOs and
III year maintenance of 48 FPOs
respectively. During 2017-18 and 2018-19
no amount was deposited to SFAC, since the
progress was less. For the year 2019-20,
Rs.205.00 lakh has been earmarked for III
year maintenance of 25 FPOs. Till date no
budget has been released.

h) Center of Excellence (Training) in
Maddur:
In Integrated horticulture development, on-
farm production and use of bio-inputs and
micronutrient mixtures by the farming
community is decreasing day by day,
whereas non judicious use of chemical
inputs is increasing every day in farm
activities. This will largely envisage the
degradation of soil fertility and
environmental hazards. The cost of
production is high due to large consumption
of chemical inputs resulting in low income
and socio- economic problems among the
farming community. The alternate remedy
is to reduce the use of chemical inputs and
increase the application of bio-inputs and
micronutrient mixture for crop production
with proper soil testing. This will enhance
the soil organic matter and microbial
activity resulting in good crop growth and
increased revenue to the farmers. This
project will cater to the skill training to
farmers and departmental extension
functionaries on on-farm production of bio-
inputs and micronutrient mixtures and
their use in crop production, which is a step
forward in acquiring production skills and
adoption of technology by the farming
community. Thus, COE can encourage
Integrated Horticulture Development for
farmers, officers, visitors and tourist.
During 2018-19, an amount of Rs. 200.00
lakh was earmarked for integrated
horticulture development, on-farm
production and use of bio-inputs and
micronutrient mixtures by the farming
community and procurement of production
protocols for vermiwash technology. As on
March 2019, an amount of Rs.161.00 lakh
was released for the implementation of
activities targeted to be taken up under this
project and an amount of Rs.158.08 lakh
was utilized. The unspent balance amount
will be spent in the current year.
For the year 2019-20, the project for Mass
production of micronutrient mixture is
proposed in this center for an amount of
Rs.100.00 lakh. The project is approved and
the funds are yet to be released.

i) Strengthening Of Center Of
Excellence For Floriculture at Tunga
Horticulture Farm, Shivamogga.
Karnataka is known for Flower cultivation
since ages. The most grown kinds of flowers
are Tuberose, Marigold, Jasmine,
Chrysanthemum, Aster, Gerbera, field
grown rose, white and yellow
Chrysanthemum, Gladiolus, Dutch Rose of
various colors, Anthurium, Orchids and
Bird of Paradise. All these flowers are grown
mostly by small and marginal farmers. Most
of them practice this as a family avocation.
The cultivation of traditional flower is
mainly meant to supply flowers to the needs
of the local folk, for religious functions, for
hair decoration and garland preparation.
In Shimoga greenhouse cultivation is of
recent origin and in the past 10 years
Gerbera, Carnation, Anthurium, and
Orchids etc., is extensively grown under 15
structures. These units are of small size
varying from 500 sq.mt to 1.5 acres.
Farmers incur an additional expenditure
towards transportation and have poor
facilities for grading and packing. As a result
the produce loses its quality and the price
offered in the market goes down many folds.
So in this regard, as progressive farmers
have already started flower cultivation
under green houses, there is lot of enquires
for further expansion of area under
floriculture. So there is absolute need for
imparting practical knowledge to the
farmers. In this view, there is a vision to
develop an International standard
Technology and Knowledge Driven
Floriculture Resource Hub with excellent
facilities, market focus products and
customized services aimed for achieving
sustainability in Floriculture sector and
enhancing economic development of the
farming community.
During 2018-19, an amount of Rs. 100.00
lakh was earmarked for this project for
infrastructure development of the Center.
An amount of Rs.80.00 lakh was released
and the entire amount was spent for
infrastructure development and purchase of
input materials. During 2019-20, the
remaining amount of Rs. 20.00 lakh has

j) Strengthening of Center Of
Excellence for Protected Cultivation
of Horticulture Crops:
Present trend in horticulture is to increase
the productivity per square meter area
through adoption of horticulture
technologies under protected cultivation.
The farmers need to be trained in this line to
cultivate the low volume but high value
crops in mass so that the production,
productivity and profitability can be
increased.
Farming Technologies both under protected
cultivation and open cultivation are the
need of the hour. This can be achieved
by hands on training to farmers and officers
of the department by conducting
demonstration of crops in departmental
farms, field days, seminars and exposure
visit to various national institutes and
Center of Excellence in horticulture crops in
the state as well as outside the state.
Center Of Excellence for Protected
Cultivation of Horticulture Crops, located at
Somanahalli Kaval, Hassan aims at
suppling good quality planting material of
Vegetable/Flower/Spices crops for farming
cumunity, to demonstrate Hi-tech protected
cultivation technologies, promotion of
Organic farming, efficient use of water and
fertigation through automization and
training to farmers, Officers, NGO, Private
Entrepreneurs etc.
During 2018-19, an amount of Rs. 270.00
lakh was earmarked for this project for
infrastructure development of the Center
and production aspects. An amount of
Rs.270.00 lakh was released and Rs. 200.00
lakh was spent for infrastructure
development and purchase of input
materials for production of vegetable crops
under protected conditions. The remaining
Rs.70.00 lakh which was released in the far
end of the financial year has been
revalidated for 2019-20 and action has been
taken for its utilization.

Development:
There is an urgent need to bring about
changes in the following aspects to set right
drawbacks in the chain of Horticulture
development in the State.
r Adopting precision farming in the field
of production.
r Scientific and effective management of
water.
r Post harvest management.
r Processing, value addition, market and

a) Farmer Producers Organizations b) Post Harvest Management:

(FPO's) :
As part of its efforts to strengthen Integrated
Horticultural Development, Department of
Horticulture, Government of Karnataka
(DoH-GoK) has been promoting Farmer
Producer Organisations (FPOs) as
institutional vehicles for mainstreaming of
producers in horticultural value chains. The
primary goal of an FPO is to provide services
that support producers in their farming
activities, including marketing of farm
products. Most shareholders in FPCs
promoted by DoH-GoK are small and
marginal farmers. DoH-GoK has taken
proactive measures to empower the newly
formed FPOs by providing a range of
financial and non-financial assistance such
as working capital in the form of revolving
fund, infrastructure development
assistance along with custom hiring centers
(CHCs) and various other types of technical
and institutional benefits. Year wise support
provided for strengthening FPOs. The
details are given in Table 7.42a.
Post harvest management is a component
under CHD scheme and have been
implementing from 2014-15. Since
Horticulture produce like fruits, vegetables
and flower are perishable, it is important to
provide proper post harvest management
practices for these produces. The primary
processing units who have taken 40 %
subsidy under centrally sponsored scheme
such as NHM/NHB/CDB will be eligible in
this scheme for taking matching grants of
50% maximum upto Rs. 10.00 lakh. It
includes primary processing activities kike
grape dehydration, red chilli powdering,
vanilla processing, wine making unit and
desiccated coconut powder units etc.
Details of progress of activities for post
harvest management are given in

7.13.9A Apiculture Development
Programme :
Apiculture being beneficial to mankind
is emerging as a profitable industry
providing export opportunity. Apiculture
plays a major role in providing financial
independence to the practicing bee keepers.
As Honey bees help cross-pollination in
Horticulture and Agriculture crops, high
and good quality yield can be obtained.
Having many medicinal properties, Honey is
the gift of nature to the human kind and Bee
keeping can be practiced without much
investment by landless small and marginal
farmers, women and handicapped. During
2019-20 the State Government is giving
special emphasis for promotion of
beekeeping.
The department of Horticulture is
implementing various programmes for bee
keeping development under State/District
sectors and National Horticulture Mission
schemes.

a) “Vegetable Seeds Kit Distribution
Program”:
Currently farmers are eager to grow
advanced / hybrid breeding / open polyned
vegetable cultivars profitably. In this
context, a new program called "Vegetable
Seeds Kit Distribution Program" is being
implemented under the Krushi Baghya
Scheme during 2017-18, which will be able
to help farmers with in reducing the cost of
vegetable production by providing vegetable
seeds kits to eligible small and marginal
farmers.

The Karnataka Water Development Program
(KWDP)-II, SUJALA-III (Horticulture
Component) project is under implementation
since 2013-14 in 11 districts viz., Bidar,
Kalaburgi, Yadgir, Koppal, Gadag,
Davanagere, Chamarajnagar, Raichur,
Tumkuru, Vijayapura and Chikkamagaluru
through the Department of Horticulture.
The horticulture component has six sub
components viz., Extension and Demonstration
for Productivity Improvement, Farmer
Horticulture Soil and Crop Monitoring,
Strengthening Model Nurseries, Post-
Harvest Management, Strengthening
Market Linkages for Horticulture Farmers
and Horticulture Service Support. All the
sub components of the project are either
implemented successfully or under
implementation in all the project districts in
the sub watershed and micro watershed
areas by preparing a strategic plan, detailed
action plan (DAP) with targets and time line.
The progress, achievements and success
are now being brought out in the form of

Constraints
Constraints under KWDP-II SUJALA-
III(Horti)
1. Extension and Demonstration: Since
the Sujala Project is a science based
project and LRI is an important aspect
of the project, in many cases, the
horticulture crops suggested is not in
line with the existing crops. Hence
there is resistance for immediate
acceptance of the suggested crops. It
requires a lot of awareness creation,
capacity building and convincing of the
farmers to take up LRI based cropping.
2. Hydrology: Work on hydrology which is
a crucial input is still under progress.
3. Post Harvest and Marketing
Management (PHM): The Project
consists of establishment of post
harvest facilities at the Farmer
Producer Organisations (FPOs). It has
not been easy for the FPOs to procure
land for setting up of the PHM and
Marketing facilities. Procurement of
land by the FPOs for their activities
requires some stream lining and policy
by the Government.
4. Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO):
Formation of the FPOs and
implementing of the activities of the
FPOs majorly is one of the activities
under the Sujala Project. Since the FPO
is a new concept for the farmers, its
operation, management and specifically
business operations by the FPO is
taking time. It takes a lot of time and
effort in training and capacity building
and handholding of the FPOs.
252
5. Marketing of produce through FPOs:
Output marketing is one of the main
activities of the FPOs. Though the
buyers are willing and ready, it is
becoming difficult for the FPO to
actually execute the output business
orders as it involves several activities
such as aggregation of produce, grading
and meeting buyers specifications,
price negotiations, logistics, packing
etc., It is taking time for the FPOs to
understand and absorb the
requirements.

Success Story:
Smt. Mutthakka W/O Late.Koragappa Alva
resident of Neerkaje, Kepu Village Bantwal
Taluk started rearing of cows 10 years back
with just one cow and she could not buy
more cows due to financial problems . There
was ample demand for milk as the milk
production in the area was not sufficient to
met the local demand. But getting financial
assistance from RKVY Schme and
Karnataka bank she started increasing the
number of cows by purchase as well as by
rearing calves produced through artificial
insemination. Presently she has 3 milch
cows and 2 heifers with her and is being
managed by herself and her son. She gets
on an average of 15 liter of milk / day /cow.
She produced green fodder required for her
cows with her available land and manure
produced from her cows. Dairy farming has
been supporting her family through years
and she wishes to continue with this
venture.
Future Challenges and Constraints:
The 12th Five year plan which laid greater
emphasis on Agriculture, farming and
development of need based and market
demand driven programmes would pave for
augmented productivity in livestock and
poultry sector. This could be achieved
through conservation and development of
animal genetic resources, establishment of
milk traits and value addition by training
and extension methods, professional
efficiency development programmes and
quality health coverage system and disease
control programme.

7.15.7. Infrastructure in Fisheries
Sector:
The state government has given importance
for the development of infrastructure
facilities like fishing harbours, landing
centres, auction halls, ice plants, cold
storages, freezing plants and frozen
storages. An overview of the infrastructure
in fisheries sector is given in Table 7.71a.
7.15.8. Labour Employed in Fisheries
Sector:
Fisheries sector has been faring high in
terms of its foreign exchange, earning
potential and employability of vast majority
of coastal community in fisheries sectors
associated with fishing. Improvements in
technology has led to unbridled capital
investment in this sector and has attracted
more and more people from the adjacent

coastal transects who do not necessarily
belong to the fishing community. Seafood
exports from Karnataka is exploring new
heights with increasing opportunities for
value addition and branding of products.
Further, over the years, there is increase in
the coastal fisher folk population inducing
more and more people into fishing and allied
activities. Employment status and
opportunities in marine fisheries sector of
Karnataka has increased over the years
along with mechanization and increased
replacement of l abour-intensive fishing
technologies. Fish, being a highly perishable
product, needs the services of several people
for its fast movement from harvesting point
to consuming centres without deterioration
in its quality. The size of fisher folk in

7.16 FOOD SECURITY THROUGH
PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
7.16.1 Provision of Food to the Poor
through Public Distribution System in
Karnataka
1. The Public Distribution System (PDS)
evolved as a system of management of
scarcity and for distribution of food
grains at affordable prices. Over the
years, PDS has become an important
part of Government's policy for
management of food economy in the
country. PDS is supplemental in nature
and is not intended to make available
the entire requirement of any of the
commodities distributed under it to a
household or a section of the society.
2. PDS is operated under the joint
responsibility of the Central and the
State Governments. The Central
Government, through Food Corporation
of India (FCI) has assumed the
responsibility for procurement, storage,
transportation and bulk allocation of
food grains to the State Government.
Food grains are distributed through the
PDS to the poor at fixed rates
throughout the year. The PDS runs
parallel with the market mechanisms to
provide food at free and controlled rates
to the poor to provide sustenance and
food security to the people for whom
food at market prices are beyond reach.
As in other States, rice, wheat, sugar
and kerosene oil are distributed
through the Fair Price Shops (FPSs) in
Karnataka as well. Distribution of sugar
has been discontinued from April 2017.
3. The operational responsibility
including allocation within State,
identification of families below the
poverty line, issue of Ration Cards and
supervision of the functioning of FPS,
rests with the State Governments.
7.16.2 Targeted Public Distribution
System (TPDS)
The PDS was revamped as Targeted Public
Distribution System (TPDS) in1997 in order
to target the system towards the poor. The
State Government identifies such poor
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
families that shall be eligible for PDS
entitlement under Antyodaya Anna Yojana
(AAY) and Below Poverty Line (BPL)
categories. Necessary arrangements are
made for the delivery of qualitative, fixed
quantity of food grains at free and
concessional rate in a transparent and
accountable manner to the poor through the
Fair Price Shops (FPSs). The term BPL has
been discontinued under National Food
Security Act (NFSA) and instead the term
Priority Household has been introduced in
place of BPL. This indicates wider coverage
as compared to the earlier concept of BPL.
Accordingly, the State Government in its
order dated16-08-2016, 25-03-2017 and
20-05-2017 has notified 04 exclusion
criteria. The same is given below:
1) Without considering salary, all
permanent employees of Government or
Government Aided Organisation or
Government sponsored Government
owned organisations/ Boards/
Corporations/Deemed organizations
and all families remitting Income
Tax/Service Tax/ VAT/Professional
Tax.
2) 3 Hectares Dry land or equivalent
Irrigation land in Rural areas or in
Urban areas, families owning self
owned pakka house with a dimension of
not more than 1000 square feet.
3) Families owning four wheeler other
than those owning one self driven
commercial vehicle either Tractor,
Maxicab, Taxi etc for livelihood
purpose.
4) Those who are not within the Income
limit of Rs.1,20,000/-.
National Food Security Act-2013 has been
implemented in the State from January
2014. Under this Act, Central Government
releases 35 kg of foodgrains to AAY and 5 kg
foodgrains for each unit or member of
priority household in the State. Households
belonging to both AAY and Priority
Household (PHH) families are being
distributed foodgrains as specified under
NFSA and as per the NFSA foodgrain
allocation. But the foodgrains are
distributed free of cost by the State
Government.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
7.16.3 Wholesale Depots and Fair Price
Shops
At present, release of foodgrains to the state
from the Central Government are being
lifted from the district FCI godowns to the
taluk wholesale depots by the Wholesale
transporters, selected by the department
through a process of tender. As per the
earlier practice, foodgrains from the taluk
wholesale godowns upto the fair price shops
were lifted by the respective fair price shop
owners. With the implementation of Door
Step Delivery system, foodgrains from the
Taluk Wholesale Godowns upto the Fair
Price Shops are being lifted by the Retail
Transporters who are selected through the
tender process. In Taluks where retail
transporters have not been selected,
foodgrains from the wholesale godowns are
lifted by the Fair Price Shop Owners.
Depending on the topography and existing
cardholders, there is one FPS in every
Revenue village. Keeping in view the
economic viability of the Fair Price Shops,
minimum number of ration cards in fair
price shops in rural and urban areas has
been specified in the Karnataka Essential
Commodities Public Distribution System
(Control) Order 2016. In the hilly areas of
Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu, Raichur,
Mysore and Chamarajanagara, 9 mobile
FPSs are also working which are operated by
the Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies
Corporation. Around 19885 FPSs are
operating in the State as on November-
2019. Details of the number of FPSs in
various districts of the State are given in
Appendix 12.5.
7.16.4 National Food Security Act-2013
(NFSA)
National Food Security Act-2013 is in force
w.e.f. January-2014 in the State. NFSA has
adopted the concept of “Priority households”
and “Non-Priority households” in place of
BPL and APL. Under this Act the Central
Government has specified percentage
population coverage under priority
household as 76.04 % in rural area and in
49.36% urban area. In Karnataka State AAY
and BPL cards families has been considered
as Priority Families under this Act.
297
According to this Act AAY families are
entitled to 35 kgs of foodgrains and each
member of the Priority household are
entitled to 5 kg foodgrains under NFSA.
Besides 5 kg foodgrains, an additional 2 kg
foodgrains is being distributed to each
member of priority household. During
November-2019 there are around 3.93
Crore PHH beneficiaries under Public
Distribution System which is according to
the directions of the Central Government.
APL families are considered as Non-priority
families and they have been issued
foodgrains at concessional rate with effect
from June 2015. Presently the Central
Government is releasing 2,17,403 MTs of
rice to the State as NFSA allocation. The
State Government requires around 75000
MT of additional foodgrain to meet the
requirement of 2 kg allocation given by the
State. The entire expenditure of the said
additional quantity is borne by the State
Government.
PDS is being implemented based on the
NFSA guidelines. Which emphasises mainly
on food security with respect to hunger
index. State also tried to improve nutritional
quality in PDS.
7.16.5 Anthyodaya Anna Yojane (AAY)
The Central Government has implemented
Anthyodaya Anna Yojane (AAY) which is in
force w.e.f. August-2002 in the State. It
considers the poorest of the poor and the
concept has been evolved for those who are
not able to afford two square meals per day.
They are the poorest segment of the BPL
population such as landless agricultural
laborers, households headed by widows,
terminally-ill persons affected by HIV,
households headed by old age person with
meagre income or non-income come under
this scheme. Such beneficiaries are
identified in the Grama Sabha by the
concerned Grama Panchayath. Under this
scheme 35 kgs of foodgrain is being
distributed to each AAY family. Accordingly,
during November-2019 around 7,64,745
cardholders have been identified as AAY and
these families have availed 35 kgs of
foodgrains under NFSA.

7.16.9 Action taken to implement
Annabhagya yojane effectively
To implement Annabhagya yojane
effectively and transparently, the State
Government has taken sustainable
measures. It is necessary that the
functioning of Fair Price Shop is
transparent. It is also necessary that
sufficient information regarding the PDS
entitlement, rates etc. is provided to the
ratin cardholders so that they obtain the
same without fail. In order to avoid the
possibility of misuse of PDS foodgrains by
negative elements in the society the
following measures have been undertaken
by the State.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
r Computerisation of Public
Distribution System
The PDS identified every beneficiary
through their Aadhar demographic and
biometric records. Also complete supply
chain management is made online and
targeted beneficiary is being issued the

They also have a right to know other
information about their FPSs like the
number of cards attached to the shop, the
actual entitlement of PDS commodities
received by the shop, rate at which the PDS
commodities are to be distributed, timings
of distribution etc. Hence each FPS should
maintain basic information with regard to
number of cards, category of such cards
assigned to their shops, name of the card
holder, the number of units of each card etc.
Districtwise, Taluk wise Fair price shop wise
allotment and card wise details have been
made available on the department's website
www.ahara.kar.nic.in for public
information and scrutiny.
r Statement of Eligible beneficiaries

7.16.18 Establishment of E-POS
Machines
In order to curb irregularities in the Fair
Price Shops, Electronic Weighing-cum point
of Sale Machines (E-POS) having special
features were established in 3877 fair price
shops in the State by the Government itself
and it was intended to install such POS in all
the fair price shops in the State. But the
scheme has been dropped due to huge
expenditure that could be incurred on
installation and maintenance of such
machines. The Department adopted coupon
system to distribute PDS commodites. As
per this system, the beneficiaries could
obtain monthly coupon from the designated
kiosks like Bangalore One, Karnataka One,
Jansnehi Kendra, Gram Panchayat and
authorised Private Centres against their
biometric authentication. The printed
coupons contained information regarding
the PDS commodities, quantity and price
which the beneficiary is entitled to. This
ensured awareness among PDS
beneficiaries regarding their monthly
entitlement and assured them a right to
obtain the same with due clarity. The system
of obtaining coupon was further simplified
by providing Interactive Voice Response
307
System (IVRS) service wherein the
beneficiary could obtain coupon code on
his/her registered (with aadhaar number)
mobile number by dialling 1614. The
beneficiary could generate One-Time
Password (OTP) and obtain coupon.
Through the coupon system aadhaar based
bio authenticated distribution of foodgrain
was introduced. And further the sytem was
simplified by introducing distribution of
foodgrains through POS machines. Fair
Price Shop owners could use
computer/laptop/tablet or any smart phone
as POS and utilise the web based service to
distribute foodgrains to the cardholders.
Fair Price shop owners are paid and
additional retail margin of Rs.17/- per
quintal for POS transactions. During
November-2019, out of 19885 fair price
shops, around 19487 fair price shops have
installed POS.

allowance if their entitlement is denied.
NFSA has been implemented from January
2014 in the State. Accordingly AAY card
holders are given 35 kg and each member of
PHH ration card are being given 5 kg
foodgrains as NFSA allocation. Besides 5 kg
PHH beneficiaries are being given additional
2 kg foodgrains. The entire expense incurred
towards 2 kg additional foodgrains is
completely borne by the State Government.

7.16.23 Expected Outcome of
Annabhagya
Annabhagya Scheme was introduced with
the vision of creating hungerfree State. This
scheme has to a large extent achieved this
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
vision by distributing foodgrains in the form
of rice, wheat, ragi and jowar, double
fortified edible oil, double fortified salt and
pulses either free of cost or at subsidized
prices thereby fulfilling the nutritional
needs of the card holders. This has
contributed to the purchasing capacity of
the card holder i.e. the cardholder has been
able to afford purchase of other day to day
essentials due to fulfilment of basic need.
The distribution of ragi and jowar procured
309
from the local farmers under MSP
operations under Annabhagya Scheme has
helped the local farmers to get assured rates
and a market for their commodity. This has
not only contributed to the financial security
of farmers but has also given a boost to
production of these commodities locally. It
may be concluded that Annabhagya Scheme
has improved the standard of living,
ensured food security and assured a life
with dignity to all the beneficiaries.

 NATURAL RESOURCES
AND ENVIRONMENT
8.1 FORESTS
Forests are an integral part of the natural
resources and integral part of
environmental and ecological systems. The
State's dense forests are located in the
Western Ghats region. About 60% of the
Western Ghats of the country is located in
the State. In order to protect and
develop bio-diversity, the State has formed
4467 Bio-diversity Management
Committees at Grama Panchayat level. Bio-
diversity heritage sites (such as the 400-
year old tamarind grooves at Nallur,
Devanahalli taluk) have been developed to
conserve and develop the unique genetic
diversities.
In recent years, due to fundamental and
proximate factors, Western Ghats, one of the
hot spots of the world's bio-diversity has
been under severe threat. Although the
depletion of forest cover is halted to a
large extent and forest cover has
quantitatively increased in the recent years,
the natural forest stock is qualitatively
still under degradation. Increased
deforestation and degradation of the
environmental resource base has serious
implications for production and resilience of
the ecosystem.
Forest resources significantly contribute to
the State's Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
by being a major source of timber, medicinal
plants, Non timber forest products (NTFPs),
grazing, recreational activities, carbon
sequestration, watershed provisions etc.
Forest resources are under severe pressure
due to rapid population growth and in this
scenario, meeting developmental,
livelihood, agricultural and industrial needs
and conserving forests for productive and
ecological services is a major challenge. The
main factors responsible for the depletion of
the forest resource base are diversion of
forest areas for developmental activities,
encroachment of forest area, destruction of
311
CHAPTER 8
natural habitat, mining and quarrying,
wildlife poaching, smuggling of timber,
erosion of common property resources,
excessive fuel wood collection and live
stock grazing. The Forest Department
of Karnataka has succeeded in halting
quantitative depletion of forest cover
through afforestation programmes but
the deteriorating quality of forests
continues to be a major threat to the
sustainability of both human beings and
animals.
8.1.1 Area under forests:
Karnataka's geographical area of 191,791
sq. km. constitutes 5.83% of India's area.
Forest accounts for the second largest land
use after agriculture. As on November 2019,
the total area under forests in the state is
42,200.44 sq. km. Thus, about 22% of the
State's geographical area is under forest
(Table 8 .1).
The estimates of Forest Survey of India (FSI
2017) on the basis of satellite data show that
the forest cover within and outside recorded
forest area of the State is 43263 sq.km,
which is lower than the State's estimates
Thereby, about 22.56% of the geographical
area of the state is under forest and tree
cover (Table 8.2). The estimation of forest
cover, classified on the basis of forest
canopy density, shows that the State has
4502 sq. km of very dense forest, 20,444 sq.
km of moderately dense forest and 12,604
sq.km of open forest. District wise forest
canopy density estimates along with the
changes (as compared to the 2013
assessment) are given in (Table 8.3),
Figure 8.2
(A) Reasons for change detected in 2017
assessment:
The main reason for net increase of
1101sq.km in forest cover and 161sq.km in
tree cover in the state can be attributed to
plantations and conservation activities both

within and outside the recorded forest area
as well as improvement in interpretation
due to better radiometric resolution of the
recent satellite data from Resourcesat-2.
Large scale increase in commercial
plantation of palms outside the forest areas,
density improvement in scrub forests and
expansion of mangrove cover due to
conservation, planting activities in forest
and non forest areas and rehabilitation
efforts are also the other important reasons
for the net increase of forest and tree cover in
the state.(Table 8.3)
B. Comparison with southern states:
Forest cover in Karnataka is 19.58% to total
geographical area of the state as per Forest
Survey of India, where as, in southern states
Kerala has highest proportion of forest cover
to its total area. The comparison with
neighboring states is given in Table 8.6 &

Conservation Reserve.
Information of visitors to National Parks
/ Wildlife Sanctuaries:
1. Among the visitors to the sanctuaries,
98.73% are domestic visitors while
1.27% are foreigners (Table 8.11)
2. Maximum number of Foreigners visited
to Nagarahole National Park followed by
Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary and
Bandipur Tiger Reserve.
3. From this analysis it is clear that some
of the Protected Areas are having high
pressure of Eco-tourism while others
are underutilized. Therefore to reduce
the pressure on the Protected Areas
like Bandipura, Nagarahole and
Kudremukh etc., it is necessary that

the less visited Protected Areas like
BRT, Bhadra, Dandeli and some other
Protected Areas may be provided
with better Eco-tourism facilities,
infrastructure. Their potential may also
be given more publicity. Once they
become popular they may also have
more tourists. This will help in
sensitizing the people and also creating
awareness about the Wildlife
conservation in the State.

New Programme announced during the
year 2019-20.
1. Eradication of Lantana and
Eupatorium weeds:
During 2019-20 in the para 109 of the
Budget Speech announced the new program
for eradication of Lantana and Eupatorium
Weeds. For the implementation of this
program Rs. 5.00 crore grants has been
released under the budget heading 2406-
01-101-2-85-Protection of Grass Lands-
139-Major Works and works are in progress.
The above project envisages removing the
Lantana and Eupatorium weeds grown in
grassy areas patch by patch, as it has grown
abundantly in most grass land and forest
areas considerably, reducing grass patches
in the forest and is a serious obstacle to
grass growth. In this regard, a new program
has been started to increase the grass
growth and grass patches in forest area and
phasing out lantana and eupatorium weeds
stage by stage in the forests.
2. Human-Elephant Conflict Control by
Using Railway barricade as barrier:
In 2019-20 budget speech, a new program

24,391- Green and 52,748- White category
industries/institutions are operating in the
State. Among these Industries the details of
the Industries/Organizations covered by the
Board are given in Table 8.22.
8.1.8: Comprehensive Environmental
Pollution Index(CEPI):
The Central Pollution Control Board has
issued direction under Section 18(1)(b) of
the Water Act and the Air Act to calculate
CEPI, as per revised criteria for calculating
CEPI Index on 26.04.2016. The “Revised
Criteria of CEPI” is based on the following
principles:
1. Retaining the existing algorithm based
on Source, Pathway and Receptor.
2. Develop the Revised CEPI considering
the sources of pollution, real time
observed values of the pollutants in the
ambient air, surface water and ground
water of the industrial cluster and

health related statistics. The concept is
based on the selection of 3 criteria
pollutants for each of the environment
components i.e., air, surface water and
ground water, which together indicate
the quality of ambient environment.
3. Assessment of environmental quality of
the area, based on the concept of
Surrogated Number level Exposure
Factor (SNLF), to which is a surrogate
number representing the level of
exposure (a function of percentage
sample exceedence and Exceedence
factor).
4. Health statistics to be based on health
data available from major hospital in
the area.
Accordingly, 100 Industrial Areas were
monitored by CPCB and the industrial
clusters/areas having aggregated
Comprehensive Environmental Pollution
Index (CEPI) scores of 70 and above, are
considered as critically polluted industrial
clusters / areas by the Central Pollution
Control Board. Peenya and Jigani-
Bommasandra Industrial Areas in
Bangalore District were categorized as
Critically Polluted Areas with CEPI score
78.12 and 70.99 respectively.
The industrial clusters/areas having
aggregated CEPI score between 60 to 70
were considered as Severely Polluted Areas.
Kolhar Industrial Area, Bidar with score of
65.64 is considered as Severely Polluted
Area. Three other industrial Clusters
viz., Raichur Industrial Area-53.42,
Bhadravathi-58.48, Mangalore-58.20 have
been classified as other polluted areas in
Karnataka.
The Hon`ble NGT in respect of O.A No.
1038/2018 has issued following directions
vide order dated 14.11.2019, corrected on
19.11.2019 and directed to Submit Report
by SPCBs before 31.01.2020 to CPCB.
i. Number of identified polluters in
polluted Industrial Areas, extent of
closure of polluting activities.
ii. The extent of environmental
compensation recovered.
339
iii. The cost of restoration of the damage to
the environment of the said areas.
The Board has initiated following actions to
mitigate environmental pollution in
critically and severely polluted areas.
a) Identified defaulting industries in the
critically and severely polluted
Industrial Areas to initiate action.
b) Action plan has been prepared to
mitigate environmental pollution for the
critically and severely polluted
Industrial Areas.
c) Constituted the Local Area Committee
with TOR, as specified earlier to review
action plan and action taken.
d) State Level Monitoring Committee is
constituted to review the issue related
to Critically Polluted and Severely
Polluted Area under the Chairmanship
of Development Commissioner and
Additional Chief Secretary and the
committee is conducting meetings
regularly.
8.1.9 Environmental compliance by
some of the identified industrial sectors:
Mining, Thermal Power, Petro Chemicals,
Sponge Iron, Chemical & Pharmaceutical
industries and Stone crushers are some of
the focus areas of concern in terms of
pollution load and their impact on
environment.
a) Pollution control status in mining
sector:
Mining is one of the main industrial
activities in Karnataka. The major minerals
being mined are Iron Ore, Manganese ore,
Limestone and Dolomite. Iron Ore mining is
mainly confined to Ballary, Chitradurga &
Tumakuru Districts and the Limestone
mining is located mainly in the districts of
Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Bagalkot, Belagavi &
majorly the Manganese Ore mining is
located in Davangere District. During
1980's major mining activity was started in
Chikkamagaluru District with the setting
up of Kudremukh Iron Ore Company
Limited (KIOCL) and the same is now closed.
340
In recent past, due to high demand in the
market, large scale mining has taken place
in Bellari, Chitradurga & Tumakuru
Districts.
In Karnataka, 750 mines are covered under
the Pollution Control Acts and only 183 are
operating as on 31.03.2019. Initially,
KSPCB started covering only few major
mining companies under the Water & Air
Acts like National Minerals Development
Corporation (NMDC), Donimalai and KIOCL,
as they were using water for mining activity
and discharging tailings. These mines were
also covered under the Air Act keeping in
view emissions from crushers, D.G.Sets and
other point and non point sources.
Action initiated by KSPCB for control of
pollution in mining activity:
KSPCB has taken steps to strictly
implement the provisions of the Water
(Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974
and the Air (Prevention & Control of
Pollution) Act, 1981 irrespective of the size of
mining area. The Hon'ble Supreme Court
has constituted Central Empowering
Committee (CEC) for resumption of mines.
The mines have been categorized as A, B and
C categories. The Hon'ble Supreme Court,
during September 2012 has given directions
to restart A and B category mines as per the
Reclamation and Rehabilitation (R & R plan)
approved by the CEC.
The CEC has approved 46 mines under A
category, 70 mines under B category and 51
mines under C category. The details relating
the production, water & air pollution control
measures adopted by the mines, compliance
to previous consent conditions, etc., are
verified thoroughly while issuing consents
for operation. Further, the Board stipulates
and advices the following pollution control
measures while issuing consents to the
mining activity, in line with the
Reclamation & Rehabilitation Plan (R & R
Plan).
r To provide check dams, gully-traps etc.,
to prevent the runoff from carrying the
fine particles of ore and silt.
r Fines, sub-grade ore, mineral rejects,
over burden and side burden. etc., to be
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
stored as dumps in the mine lease area
and to be stabilized.
r Retaining walls have to be provided to
stabilize the dumps.
r Afforestation has to be carried out on
the slopes of the dumps.
r Constant sprinkling of water in the
mine lease area, including approach
roads.
r To metal and asphalt the roads inside
the mine lease area, as well as the
approach road to the mines.
r To transport ore in a covered truck in
wet conditions always.
r Even at stock yards, moisture contents
have to be maintained to prevent the
dust nuisance.
r Providing conveyor belts within the
mine lease area for ore transportation to
avoid fugitive emissions due to
movement of trucks.
b) Pollution Control Status in Sponge
Iron Sector:
In Karnataka, 37 Sponge Iron units are
operating. Most of the units are located in
the district of Bellari (27), Koppal (8),
Dharwad (1) & Tumakuru (1). All the units
uses coal based technology.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests &
Climate Change (MoEF & CC), GoI has
notified standards for sponge iron units,
vide Notification No.GSR 414(E), dated:
30.05.2008. As per the Notification, the
chimney height for the Kilns is calculated
based on the fuel consumption and the
sulphur content of the fuel. Further, a
minimum chimney height of 30 metre is
stipulated for all de-dusting facilities.
Sponge iron units are not significant from
water pollution point of view and water is
used only for domestic purposes and cooling
water is completely recycled. However, these
units are very significant from air pollution
point of view. The main sources of air
pollution from these units are ,kiln and de-
dusting facilities, loading and unloading of
raw materials, crushing and processing of
raw materials, storage of raw material and
solid waste vehicle movements.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Following conditions are stipulated and
implemented by the Board to mitigate air
pollution from these industries.
r Storage of raw materials within the
closed sheds.
r Providing Bag filter for all raw material
processing and de-dusting facilities.
r Providing Electrostatic precipitator
(ESP) to the Kiln with interlocking
between the working of kiln and the
ESP.
r Providing Metalled roads within the
premises.
r Sprinkling of water in raw materials
storage, process area and on roads of
raw material transportation.
r Regular monitoring of ambient air
quality.
c) Pollution Control Status in Stone
Crushers:
There are 4,377 Stone Crushing units in
Karnataka as on 31.03.2019, 1815 are in
operation. The Karnataka State Pollution
Control Board is covering the Stone
Crushing activity under the Air (Prevention
& Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. The State
Government has passed an ordinance on
07.09.2011 called The Karnataka
Regulation of Stone Crushers, Ordinance
2011, later enacted as The Karnataka
Regulation of Stone Crusher Act, 2011 on
05.10.2012. The Rules have been framed on
22.06.2012. Further amendment to Act and
Rules was notified on 26.12.2013 and
06.02.2014 respectively.
According to the above said Act & Rules, all
crushers shall have to be established &
operated in the safer zones only, except the
crushers established for temporary period
for specific government development
projects with specific time frame.
The licensing authority of the district/
individual crusher shall identify the safer
zones and the licensing authorities shall
declare and issue notification for them, after
fulfilling of following distance and other
criteria. The conditions for declaring safer
zones for the stone crusher are:
r 200 mtrs. away from National Highway
and State Highway.
341
r 100 mtrs. away from Major District road
(MDR) or other roads.
r 500 mtrs. away from Revenue village,
temple, schools.
r 1 KM away from boundary of municipal
corporation, city municipal corporation,
town municipal corporation.
r Must be Minimum of 1 acre land.
d) Other highly polluting industries:
There are 263 industries under the 17-
category of highly polluting industries in the
State, of which 205 are in operation. The
waste water generated from these industries
are treated and disposed as per the norms of
the Board. The West Coast Paper Mills at
Dandeli is permitted to discharge effluent
into Kali River and Harihar Poly fibers and
Grasim division at Harihar are permitted to
discharge the effluents to Tungabhadra
River.
Apart from these industries, no other
industry is permitted to discharge treated
effluents into rivers. The policy of the Board
is to ensure that, the industrial effluents are
treated to the standards prescribed by the
KSPCB and to use the treated effluent for
Secondary purposes, within the industry as
far as possible and for irrigation/gardening/
green-belt development and construction
purpose.
The Central Pollution Control Board, New
Delhi has issued directions under Section
18(1)(b) of the Water (Prevention and Control
of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,
1981 on 05.02.2014, to insist all the 17-
Category of highly polluting industries to
install Continuous Online Emission/
Effluent Monitoring System, for self
monitoring of effluents and emissions, in
order to strengthen the monitoring and
compliance through self regulatory
mechanism.
Accordingly, the Board has issued directions
to all the 17-Category industries, under
Section 33(A) of the Water Act and Section
31(A) of the Air Act to install Continuous
Online Monitoring Systems for monitoring
specified environment parameters and to
connect the online monitors to CPCB server,
for online transmission of the data. The
342
exceedence of the monitored data is being
regularly monitored at Board and alerts
through SMS & e-mail are being sent to
industries to take appropriate steps to
operate the pollution control systems
scientifically.
Out of 205 operating industries, 189
industries (10 industries are exempted from
OCEMS) have installed continuous online
monitors as on 31.03.2019. The Board has
established “Air Care Cell” to monitor the
online emission and effluent Parameters/on
continuous basis and send alerts to the
industries, incase of exceedances, by the
way of issuing directions and refusing the
consent.
8.1.10: Water quality management:
The Karnataka State Pollution Control
Board is monitoring the quality of water
sources in the State. Water samples from
lakes, rivers, ponds, bore well, open wells
and sea are analyzed for monitoring the
water quality. Discharge of domestic sewage
and trade effluents from the industries are
the major sources of water pollution.
Therefore, the Board is regularly monitoring
these sources from time to time, as
prescribed in the Act/Guidelines framed by
Central Pollution Control Board. Regular
inspections and sample collections are
made to analyze the quality of water.
The Board is monitoring and analyzing river
water samples at 103 locations (Under
GEMS-5 & MINARS-98) in the State.
According to the analysis report, rivers and
lakes are susceptible to pollution mostly due
to industrial, domestic effluent discharge
and agricultural runoff. The results of
samples drawn at 103 stations, located in all
rivers across the State shows that, the
quality of water comply largely to category
'C', which means the water is potable after
treatment and disinfection. River water
quality is related to seasonal variations like
rainfall and flow of the river etc.
Inference on the River Water Quality
Monitoring:
CPCB has specified water quality criteria
depending on the designated best use and
activities in the river. The classifications are:
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
r Class A – Drinking water source without
conventional treatment, but after
disinfection.
r Class B – Out door bathing (organized).
r Class C – Drinking water source with
conventional treatment, followed by
disinfection.
r Class D – Propagation of wild life,
fisheries.
r Class E – Irrigation, Industrial Cooling,
Controlled Waste disposal.
Monitoring of the major rivers under various
programmes indicates that, the major
pollutants in these water bodies are mainly
organic and bacterial contaminants. This is
mainly due to domestic sewage discharge
into the rivers from towns and villages
located on the river banks.
At the following three locations, the treated
industrial effluents are permitted for
discharge into the Rivers. The water quality
at these locations about 100 meters
downstream of the treated effluent
discharge point are as under:-
1. Harihara Poly Fibres-Grasim
Division- treated combined effluent
into Tungabhadra River near Harihar,
Haveri District. Tungabhadra river
water quality at downstream of
Harihara Poly fibres conforms to 'D'
Class.
2. West Coast Paper Mills Ltd treated
effluent into Kali River near Bangur
Nagar near Dandeli, Uttara Kannada
District. Kali river water quality,
monitored quarterly indicates that, at
the downstream of the industry, it
conforms to 'C' Class.
The Board has analyzed 90,394 samples
from the discharge of organizations
(including industries) and other waste water
generating units identified. The same are
being monitored with inspection and sample
analysis. The Board is initiating action to
ensure compliance from the concerned
organizations, wherever the samples are not
meeting the prescribed standards. Figure
8.5 shows the classification of river water
quality under NWQMP for the period from
2014 to 2019(up to October 2019.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
In order to control pollution of water bodies,
KSPCB has accorded consent to11 Common
Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP) in the
State at different places for treatment of
effluents generated from homogeneous type
of industries in the small scale sector.
Presently 10 CETP's are in operation.
8.1.11. Air Quality Management:
The Karnataka State Pollution Control
Board is monitoring the air quality in the
State, in accordance with the provisions of
the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution)
Act, 1981. The main sources of air pollution
are (i) vehicular emissions (ii) industrial
emissions (iii) construction activities, (iv) re-
suspended road dust and open burning of
waste in the public place.
About 1.30 crore vehicles were registered in
the State as on 31.03.2019. (Source: rto.
kar.nic.in). Emission from the vehicles is
monitored in accordance with the Motor
Vehicle Rules. The vehicles are being check-
ed and penalties are being imposed by the
traffic police and RTO for non-compliance of
standards prescribed. The KSPCB takes up
the issue with the concerned authorities, as
and when the air pollution levels exceeds the
prescribed limits. One such measure
implemented is, supply of low sulphur
petrol in Bangalore City.

Karnataka State Pollution Control Board is
monitoring the ambient air quality of
Bangalore city at 20 stations, 13 stations
under the National Ambient Air Quality
Monitoring Programme (NAMP) and 07
stations under the Continuous Ambient Air
Quality Monitoring programme (CAAQM).
Monitoring is done twice-a-week for 24
hours at 13 Stations under NAMP and 24
hours through-out the year at 7 stations
under CAAQM.
According to the revised national ambient
air quality standards (18-11-2009), six
parameters are monitored using manual
equipments viz., Particulate Matter (PM10),
Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur dioxide
(SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Ammonia (NH3)
and Lead (Pb). In the Continuous Ambient
Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS),
8 parameters viz., Particulate Matter
(PM10), Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur
dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2),
Ammonia (NH3), Carbon monoxide (CO) ,
Ozone (O3) and Benzene(C6H6) is monitored.
The data measured are compared with
the revised national ambient air quality
standards. Annual average values of air
pollutants in the 13 manual stations in
Bangalore city is depicted in Table 8.23.
The results are being notified in the Board's
344 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20

website, as well as through SMS to all
stakeholder Departments.

During 2017-18, Board has installed and
commissioned 22 continuous ambient air
quality monitoring stations (CAAQMS) at
district headquarters of the State, in
addition to Bangalore District. The Board is
monitoring the ambient air quality at all the
major cities, under the National Ambient Air
Quality Monitoring Program. viz., Mysore-2
stations, Hubli–Dharwad-2 stations,
Davanagere- 2 stations, one each at
Bhadravati, Mandya, Chamarajanagar,
Hassan, Mangalore, Karwar, Kodagu
,Belagavi, Kalaburagi, Bidar, Raichur,
Ballari , Kolar , VISL - Shivamogga,
Ranebennur, Chitradurga and Tumkur.
The CAAQMS are equipped with Sulphur
dioxide (SO 2 ) Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 )
Ammonia (NH3) Benzene, Carbon monoxide
(CO), Ozone (O3), Particulate matter (Size
less than 2.5 micron) PM2.5 and Particulate
matter (Size less than 10 micron) PM10
analysers, along with weather monitoring
equipments having the facility to measure –
Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Atmospheric
Temperature, Relative Humidity, etc.
In Karnataka, 4 Cities viz., Bengaluru,
Davangere, Kalburgi and Hubli- Dharwad
have been identified by CPCB as Non
attainment cities, based on PM10
exceedence. Action Plan has been approved
by CPCB and is under implementation.
The summary of air quality monitoring:
The continuous ambient air quality
monitoring data is online and can be viewed
in CPCB website, SAMEER app and in
KSPCB website. The 'air quality index' of
Bangalore city, as per the continuous
monitoring is generally in the range of
'Satisfactory' and sometimes it is
'Moderate'.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
The Board has issued directions under
Section 31(A) of the Air Act to the
Commissioner, Transport and Road Safety
and Commissioner, Bruhat Bangalore
Mahanagara Palike to take up ameliorative
measures to address the problem of urban
air pollution. The analysis of ambient air
quality monitoring has indicated that, the
PM10 values have exceeded the national
ambient air quality standards (60.0 µg/M3)
at Mangalore, Hubli- Dharwad, Belgaum,
Raichur, Kalburagi, Bellary, Bidar, Tumkur
and Davanagere. The PM2.5 values have
exceeded at Belgaum, Kalburagi, Bidar and
Tumkur. NO2 and SO2 values are within the
national limit of 40.0 µg/M3 and 50.0
µg/M3 for the year. This is due to the
construction activities and vehicular
movement and re-suspended road dust.
Annual average values of air pollutants, at
different locations in the districts are
depicted in Figure 8.7.
Industrial air emissions are regularly
monitored by the KSPCB, through
inspections and sample collections.
Wherever the samples are not complied with
the standards prescribed, actions are being
taken to set right the problem by strict
enforcement of law.
8.1.12 Noise Quality Monitoring:
The Karnataka State Pollution Control
Board is monitoring the noise level in 10
stations located at various places in
Bangalore under National Ambient Noise
Monitoring Programme (NANMP)
The details are submitted in Table 8.24
below:
The Noise levels in the cities are generally
exceeding the standards in most of the silent
zone and Residential areas, due to vehicular
movement and honking. The noise levels
measured in industrial areas are found to
meet the standards. The noise monitoring is
made compulsory for large scale industries.
The Board monitors the noise levels
whenever the complaints are received and
the data are shared with the police for
further regulation as per the notification of
Govt. of Karnataka issued under the Noise
Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules,
2000 vide G.O.No:FEE 46 ENV 2000,

8.1.13. Hazardous Waste Status:
About 3451 operating industries are found
to be generating hazardous waste of about
1.91 lakh metric tons annually in the State.
Out of this, 65,851MTPA is recyclable. The
remaining waste of around 79,542 MTPA is
sent to incineration and 46,596 MTPA is
sent to landfill. The land fillable hazardous
waste is being sent to two secured landfill
facilities located at (i) Dobbaspet near
Nelamangala in Bangalore and (ii) Harohalli
Ramnagar district.
Further, there are six standalone hazardous
waste incinerators in the State for
incineration of hazardous waste. In
addition, Board has permitted 8 cement
industries to use hazardous waste for co-
processing.
a) Management and Handling of
Batteries:

buntings, flex, plastic flags, plastic plates,
plastic cups, plastic spoons, cling films and
plastic sheets used for spreading on dining
table irrespective of thickness including the
above items made of thermocol and plastic
which use plastic micro beads in the
Karnataka State.
KSPCB is one of the agencies for
implementation of the above said
notification and in addition implementing
Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 for
the non banned items.
The Board in co-ordination with Local
bodies conduct regular raids in the state.
The Board has permitted seven cement
industries for co- processing of plastic waste
in their kilns and also given permission to
45 recyclers for recyling the plastic waste.
c) E-waste management:
The Karnataka State Pollution Control
Board has issued authorization to 102 units
for recycling /dismantling E-waste in which
71 units are operating. There are 2 E-waste
refurbishers operating with a capacity of
706 MTPA.
d) Bio-Medical Waste Management:
The Bio-medical waste generated from the
health care establishments is being
monitored in accordance with the
provisions of the Bio Medical Waste
Management Rules, 2016. The Board has
identified 35,869 health care establishments
in the State. It is estimated that 65.62
Tonnes per day of biomedical waste is
generated in the State, which is sent to 26
common bio-medical waste treatment
facilities in the State and 4 units are yet to
be commissioned.
349
e) Solid Waste Status and Management:
The Rule places responsibility on the
municipal authority within their jurisdiction
for the implementation of this Rule and for
any infrastructure development for
collection, storage, segregation,
transportation, processing and disposal of
municipal solid waste. The State Pollution
Control Board is to grant authorization for
the setting up of landfill/ processing
facilities and to monitor the ground water,
ambient air, leachate quality and the quality
of compost.
There are 277 local bodies in the State
including BBMP. Out of these local bodies,
214 local bodies have taken possession of
land fill sites, 52 urban local bodies have
established sanitary land fill facilities as per
SWM Rules. BBMP has identified landfill
sites for development under public private
partnership.
Scientific disposal of slaughter house waste
is another sector which requires priority. In
order to achieve this, modern abattoir is
planned in major cities of the State. Proposal
of establishing modern abattoir at urban
local bodies is to be executed in a time
bound manner by the local bodies. KSPCB is
currently following the guidelines stipulated
by the CPCB.
f) Ozone Layer Protection:
The 1987 UN Montreal Protocol outlawed
chlorofluorocarbon gases (CFCs) that erode
Earth's ozone layer, which protects the
planet from cancer-causing solar rays.
Further expansion of the Antarctic ozone
hole has been halted, but full recovery is not
expected until mid-century or later. Usage of
CFCs is therefore discouraged.

8.3.1. Karnataka's Mineral Resources
Karnataka is having valuable mineral
deposits covering around 1.92 lakh sq. km.
such as iron ore and manganese in Ballari,
Chitradurga, Tumkur, Uttara Kannada and
Chikmagalur districts, chromium
(Chromite) deposits in Hassan and Mysuru
districts. Besides these ores, aluminium
(bauxite) reserves in Belagavi, copper
(malachite) reserves in Hassan, Chitradurga
and Raichur are also found. State is also
rich in industrial minerals such as kyanite,
soapstone, corundum and a wide variety of
ornamental stones such as granite,
gneisses, pink porphyries and felsites
deposits. The state has more than 40,000
sq. kms. of green stone belt which are a
treasure trove of several mineral deposits
and also indicates the occurrence of
polymetallic deposits, diamond and gold.
In the State, the Department of Mines and
Geology, is responsible for the effective and
efficient administration of these mineral
resources, which are raw materials for
various industries. Locating mineral
deposits, which are not readily open on the
surface, is the thrust area of exploration. To
achieve this, department has granted more

levels have been formed to control illegal
mining and transportation throughout the
State.
E. Implementation of R&R Plan for
mining-affected districts:
As per the Hon'ble Supreme court orders
dated:05.08.2011 and 26.08.2011 in S.L.P
(civil) No. 736667/2010 & WP(C) No.
562/2009 the State is committed to develop
and implement suitable Reclamation and
Rehabilitation (R&R) plans for mining
affected districts of Bellary, Chitradurga
and Tumkur. The State Government has
assigned this task to the Indian Council of
Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE).
The main objective of the project is to
prepare R&R plan and to implement the
plan after the approval of mining leases by
the Central Empowered Committee (CEC).
Based on ICFRE's R&R plans, the Central
Empowered Committee (CEC) has approved
R&R plans for 97 ('A' & 'B' category mines).
ICFRE has prepared R&R plans of 28 'C'
category mines till date. The Hon'ble
Supreme Court in its order dated 20.4.2012,
has directed the Ministry of Environment
and Forests to re-visit the statutory
clearances earlier granted by it in the light of
R & R Plan and in its Order dated
03/09/2012, 28/09/2012 & 18/04/2013
has allowed mining operations in category
'A' and category 'B' mines to resume mining
operation after the clearance of the R&R
plan by CEC and, after obtaining other
statutory clearances from various
organizations.
The broad objectives/parameters of R&R
plan are as under.
1. To carry out time bound implementation
of R & R plan in the area under illegal
mining by way of mining pits, over
burden/waste dumps etc. outside the
sanctioned lease area as well as within
the lease area.
2. To ensure scientific and sustainable
mining after taking into consideration
the mining resources assessed to be
available within the lease area as per
IBM CEC approval.
3. To ensure environment friendly mining
and related activities and complying
397
with the various standards stipulated
under the various environmental
/mining statues e.g. air quality, noise /
vibration level, water quality, scientific
over burden/waste dumping,
stabilization of slopes etc.
4. For achieving 2 and 3 above, fixation of
permissible annual production, and
5. Regular and effective monitoring and
evaluation.
ICFRE has submitted 98+28 (i.e A, B + C
category mines) Reclamation and
Rehabilitation (R & R) reports on mining
leases. The permissible production for all 97
mining leases is 41.065 (after enhancement
considered by CEC) MMTS per annum for
iron ore and 0.568 MMTS per annum for
manganese ore. Hitherto CEC has approved
R & R plans for 97 (A+B) mines.
The production limit is going to fix as and
when ICFRE submits its R & R for all the
A,B,C categories of mines after due approval
of CEC.
F. Check posts :
To control illegal mining and transportation
check post has been established in the
strategic point of the state. 13 Integrated
composite check posts have been
established involving Forest, Police,
Transport, PWD and Department of Mines
and Geology. It has been intended to
computerize these composite check posts
including already working 17 important
check posts of the department. To control
illegal transportation of mineral to
neighbouring states, departments which are
already working in the interstate border
check post, in the same check post
department has provided UPS, CCTV and
other basic amenities for 19 interstate
border check post such as Talapadi,

with answers about climate change
9. Proceedings and abstract books of the
two National Seminars on Climate
Change conducted by EMPRI under the
sponsorship of Dept. of Science &
Technology (DST), GoI.
II. Sub-projects
Research on Permanent Preservation Plots
is a long term study on climate change to
help in many policy decisions for forest
management. Studies were undertaken in
the permanent plots established by EMPRI
400
at Bannerghatta National Park (BNP) and
Doresanipalya Reserve Forest (DRF) for soil
and litter analysis, phenology and
photosynthetic potential of selected tree
species. Weather data from the PPP
stations were collected for compiling the
weather information.
The following subprojects are under
progress in the Permanent Preservation
Plots (PPPs)established in Bannerghatta
National Park and Doresanipalya forest.
1) Photosynthetic potential of some
important tree species in permanent
preservation plots of Bannerghatta
national park and Doresanipalya forest
Photosynthetic potential of six important
and dominant species were estimated using
IRGA analyser.
2) Microbiological studies in forest soils
of Permanent Preservation Plots.
Microbiological parameters [General
Bacteria, Fungi, Azotobacter sp,
Pseudomonas sp., Phosphate solubilising
bacteria (PSB), Actinobacteria and VAM
spores] were studied in the different PPPs.
3) Carbon dynamics and Soil Physico-
Chemical Analysis
Soil samples collected in pre-monsoon
season from three permanent preservation
plots are analysed for physico-chemical
[Moisture content, pH, EC, Phosphorus(P),
Calcium (Ca), Magnesium(Mg), Sodium(Na)
and Potassium(K)]. The data is being
compiled and analysed.
4) Phenological studies on selected tree
species of Thalewood house (BNP),
Bugurikallu (BNP) and Doresanipalya
(DRF).
These studies will find applications in a)
Understanding the timing of ecosystem
processes b) Assessing the vulnerability of
species to climatic variations and c) Relating
phenological changes with the climatic
factors to establish the effect of climate
change on trees. A total of 250 trees each in
the localities of two plots at BNP and 50 trees
in Doresanipalya locality were tagged till
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
date. Vegetative and Reproductive
phenophases (leaf, flower, fruit, herbivory,
frugivory) of the tagged trees have been
monitored for the last 5 months (July,
August, September, October, November
2019). Herbivory by insects is expressed as
0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, and 75-100%.
Phenological monitoring of trees would be
done every month on the same day and will
be initially for a period of 3 years
(2018-2021).
5) Butterfly Monitoring Programme for
Karnataka
As butterflies are bio-indicators of climate
change, the creation of a database on the
diversity/distribution of butterflies in
different districts of Karnataka will help in
the monitoring of the impact of climate
change. An innovative programme titled,
Butterfly Monitoring Programme for
Karnataka is initiated. A mobile app (BIA-
Butterfly Identification Application) will
facilitate the identification of butterflies in
the field. The data submitted from different
districts/regions will be received and
processed in the dashboard of the
Karnataka state climate change knowledge
portal. This programme is facilitated
through the involvement of National Green
Corps (NGC) schools, forest department and
the public. To facilitate in the field of
identification of butterflies, a field guide,
Karnataka Butterflies is also prepared.

under procurement. The air sampling
would be done in 60 different locations
across the 4 zones over a period of three
seasons. Across the three seasons, a total of
180 samples would be analysed for the GHG
concentration. A 24-hour sampling would
be done using GHG analyser in each
selected location. The parameters to be
assessed include CO 2 , and CH 4.
4. Revision of Karnataka State Action
Plan on Climate Change (KSPACC)
As per the guidelines of MoEF&CC, EMPRI
401
is in the process of revising the 1st State
Action Plan on Climate Change. The SAPCC
need to be revised and strengthened
further, considering the evolving context of
climate science, policy and actions. The
revision is to be made in light of the
commitments made under Nationally
Determined Contribution (NDCs) goals for
post 2020. A common framework for
revision of SAPCC is being prescribed by
MoEF&CC. In order to facilitate the revision
process, a core group was constituted
under the chairmanship of Additional Chief
Secretary and Development Commissioner

29.05.2019 and a meeting was held on 19th
June, 2019 to assign the responsibility to
different institutes/ agencies for framing
the chapters of SAPCC. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and 4th chapter-wise meetings were held
with the concerned officials and resource
persons to discuss about the various
chapters of SAPCC. A training program cum
1st Stakeholder meeting was organized on
21st September, 2019 to train the nodal
officers and facilitate interaction between
the nodal officers and experts/authors. A
review meeting was held on 19th November
2019, to review the progress of work on
State Action Plan. The report is scheduled to
be completed by March, 2020.
5. Green Index Development
EMPRI in collaboration with IISc has
initiated the development of Green or
Environment Performance Index for
e v a l u a t i n g / a u d i t i n g t h e
schemes/programs of the state government
departments. The Green Index is a measure
of the relative environmental performance of
different developmental and infrastructure
schemes, programmes and projects using
criteria and a set of indicators. The project is
proposed in view of promoting green or
environment friendly programmes and
projects by highlighting the environmental
benefits/ damages and ensuring there are
no adverse effects on the environment. The
outcome of the project would be to rank the
departments as green/non-green and
provide suitable recommendations for
greening the schemes/programs.

 INDUSTRY CHAPTER 9

9.1 INTRODUCTION by electricity sector (11.8%) and the mining

Karnataka has been spearheading the
growth of Indian industry, particularly in
terms of high-technology industries in the
areas of electrical and electronics,
information & communication technology
(ICT), biotechnology and, more recently,
nanotechnology. The industrial structure of
Karnataka presents a blend of modern high-
tech capital goods and knowledge intensive
industries on the one hand and traditional
consumer goods industries on the other.
Given this, this chapter throws light on the
industrial growth of Karnataka in 2018-19
as well as the industrial policy initiatives
taken by the Government, among others.
9.2 TRENDS IN INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTION
Trends in industrial production can be
analyzed by considering the changes in the
index of industrial production (IIP). Towards
calculating the index, the weights of
different sectors and sub-sectors are
assigned based on their contribution to
Gross Value Added (GVA) of industry in the
base year. The manufacturing sector has
the highest weight of about 81.1% followed
sector (6.9%).
Index of industrial production (IIP) with base
year as 2004-05 of Karnataka covering
mining, manufacturing and electricity
sectors and the General Index for current

II. Food Parks under the State Scheme:
As part of the State Budget 2008-09, the
Government of Karnataka had approved the
establishment of food parks in six
districts i.e., Bangalore (Rural), Tumkur,
Shivamogga, Davanagere, Vijayapura and
Belagavi.
The present status is as under:-
1. Shivamogga Food Park: M/s. LMJ
International Limited has been selected
as the developer for establishing the
food park in an area of 100 acres of land
at Sogane Village in NidhigeHobli,
Shivamogga District. In view of the very
slow progress of the earlier food parks,
the Government is examining the
handing over of land to the developer.
However the developer has assured to
complete the park as per the guidelines
in a time bound manner and
approached the court for suitable
directions to the Government to
handover the land. Hence, the matter is
pending before the Hon'ble court.
2. Vijayapura Food Park: 75 acres of land
acquired by the Deputy Commissioner,
Vijayapur at Ittangihala in Vijayapur
District has been allotted to Food
Karnataka Limited for the proposed
food park. The Government is yet to
decide on whether to call for bids for the
selection of developers in view of
lukewarm progress of other food parks.
3. Spice Park at Byadagi, Haveri
District: The State Government has
approved the establishment of a Spice
Park at Byadagi in Haveri district. Food
Karnataka Ltd has invited expression of
interest twice from the private
developers. However, there was no
response. An amount of Rs.100 lakhs
has been given to KIADB for acquiring
land to set up the Park.

9.7.3 Sericulture Sericulturists and reelers. During 2018-19

Sericulture is one of the major employment
generating sectors in the State and its
growth has immense employment
generation potential, particularly in rural
Karnataka. The area under mulberry
cultivation in the State is about 1,07,590.49
hectares at the end of November 2019,
which is higher than the area under
mulberry cultivation in 2018-19 (Table
9.16) during the same period. The
production of cocoons, quantity of cocoons
marketed, raw silk production is low in
2019-20 compared to 2018-19 and total
employment in industry was high in 2019-
20 compared to 2018-19. Details of the
State's production and imports of silk yarn
are presented in Table 9.17. Table 9.18
provides details of expenditure incurred
under various beneficiary oriented
programs while Table 9.19 presents details
of financial assistance availed by
mulberry silk production in Karnataka was
11592.308 MTs.
In order to bring in, more number of farmers
under sericulture umbrella, various
programmes are being implemented. The
stakeholders are being provided with Seed
cocoon bonus/incentive, Bivoltine/MSC
chawki cost, Raw silk incentive produced in
Automatic Reeling Machines. Sericulturists
are also being provided financial assistance
for infrastructure development i.e.,
construction of rearing houses/mounting
halls, establishment of chawki rearing
centers, drip irrigation etc., and also to
establish Automatic reeling machines,
multi-end reeling machines, cottage/
filature basin reeling machinaries etc.,
Increase in the mulberry area confirms the
fact that sericulture is the only sustainable
vocation which can generate income to the
rural folks.

During the year 2019-20 the prices of
imported silk is higher than the domestic
silk price. The imported China silk price is
ruling at Rs.3800/- and the prevailing
market rates for domestic filature raw silk is
in the range of Rs.2600/- per Kg to
Rs.3750/- per Kg (During November 2019.)
The production of silk yarn in Karnataka
and import of silk yarn from 2002-03 to
2018-19 is given in Table 9.23.
The Board is primarily discharging the
function of Price Stabilization of silk yarn
which is generally a non-profitable
proposition. The Board is protecting the
interest of reelers and farmers by
continuously purchasing the silk in all Silk
Exchanges in Karnataka. The Board being
the biggest Government licensed buyer of
silk at Silk Exchanges of Karnataka State
strives to maintain price stability and to

prevent formation of groups and cartels
among traders and merchants. The Board
maintains sufficient stocks to meet the
requirements of consumers spread over the
states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra
Pradesh & Telangana State. The Board
caters to the requirements of Primary Co-
operative Societies, weavers, National
Handloom Development Corporation,
Karnataka Handloom Development
Corporation. When the prices are
continuously stable, the intervention of
KSMB in the market may not be necessary
which may result in very low purchase and
sales. This is in fact the role of any Price
Stabilization Agency and KSMB is one
among them. Maintenance of procurement
and distribution points involves
considerable overhead expenses such as
rent for office and godown, insurance etc.

and G2B services to the citizens and
external agencies.
1. Establishment of Project Monitoring
Unit
The Project Monitoring Unit has been
established for State Web Portal which has
undertaken various activities such as;
creation and maintenance of websites. It

objective to make the Karnataka
Government Websites conform to the
essential pre-requisites of Usability, User-
439
Centricity and universal accessibility.
Additionally, enabling all government
website stakeholders to adopt a consistent
and tested framework, so that uniformity is
maintained, a set of template policies have
been devised. The Guidelines stipulated
herein are based on International
Standards ISO 23026, W3C's Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines and Government of
India Guidelines for Government Websites
(GIGW). It further makes references to the
various laws of India such as the Access to
Information Technology Act 2005 among
others.
3. Domain Nomenclature for State
Government Websites
The Universal Resource Locator
(URL)/Domain name/Web address of any
Government website is a strong indicator of
its authenticity and status of being official.
By having a commonly acceptable Domain
Name Service (DNS) naming convention,
departments will establish their online
identity while minimizing complexities of
choosing a name. Knowing particular
domains of the department will be very
simple since a common pattern will always
be followed such as; department-
name.karnataka.gov.inshall be registered.
4. Security Audit
A secured web portal mitigates risk of
unauthorized access to resources, has an
auditable trail to support transactions,
particularly those with high sensitivity or
high value, protects important information
from the moment it is entered by the user
and it continues through backend
applications and workflow processes,
strengthens on-line relationships enabling
more and more applications and services to
be integrated with and accessed via the
high-value web portal.
5. Convergence of Web Portal
The convergence of State Web Portal
involves in unifying all the WebPages of a
department into a single mother portal
providing links to all child portals. Also, the
page layout and the functionalities are
uniform across all web pages which would
help users to locate the relevant information
quickly and without much difficulty.

allotted from K.I.A.D.B. where the Secretary to Government, Commerce &

Industrial Areas has been established
and the same will be given for the
establishment of M.S.M.E. Units.
K.I.A.D.B. is not allotting the suitable
lands to K.S.S.I.D.C. in accordance
with New Industrial Policy 2014-19 of
Government of Karnataka. In this
connection, a meeting was held on
03.12.2016 under the Chairmanship of
Industries Department and issue of
suitable authorized Government Order
with regard to allot suitable lands to
KSSIDC by fixing the Land Rate at
Acquired Cost + Service Charges and
Pro-Rata Developmental Expenditure,
is anticipated.
r In Government's New Industrial Policy
of 2014-19, a provision has been made
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
to purchase the land directly from the
Land Owners to an extent of 50 acres
and above at the same place, under the
scheme of establishment of proposed
Industrial Estates by K.S.S.I.D.C. As
per the said Rule, New Industrial
Estates will be established for the
establishment of small and micro
industries after identifying selecting the
required lands to establish Industrial
Estate, by obtaining consent from the
Land Owners and also after obtaining
the approval from the Revenue
Department under Clause No.109 of
Karnataka Land Reform Act 1961. A
proposal has already been submitted to
the Government on 24.04.2017 in
connection with purchase of land
directly from the farmers by obtaining
the approval from Revenue Department
under Clause No.109 of Karnataka
Land Reform Act 1961.
r Further approval of the Government
has been sought for vide letter dated
21.03.2017 in connection with the
purchase of 5 to 50 acres of land
required for the proposed project
directly from the land owners under
clause No.109 of Karnataka Land
Reforms Act 1961.
r As such, two separate proposals have
already been submitted to the
Government by the Corporation in
connection with issue of suitable orders
regarding purchase of required land to
the Corporation directly from the Land
Owners (For purchase of 5 to 50 acres
and above 50 acres) and the issue of
Govt. orders from the Government is
awaited.
r As per the announcement made by the
Hon'ble Chief Minister, Government of
Karnataka in the Budget speech for the
year 2018-19 about the establishment
of 11 New Industrial Estates in order to
implement the measures taken by the
Government in this regard, the
Corporation in its letter dated
22.12.2018 addressed to the
K.I.A.D.B., has requested for allotment
449
of lands for this purpose. The response
from K.I.A.D.B. is awaited.
r Apart from this as per the New
Industrial Policy of 2014-19 of the
Government of Karnataka, the Deputy
Commissioners of all the Districts of the
State have been requested to allot at
least 10 acres extent of land to the
Corporation at District and Taluka
places for the establishment of
Industrial Estates and in this regard a
proposal has been sent on 23.04.2019
and thereafter on 11.10.2019 to all the
Deputy Commissioners for the
allotment of suitable land and response
is awaited.
The details of Target & Achievement of
the corresponding department are given
in Appendix 9.7. The Corporation's
principal objective is Promotion and
Development of Small Scale Industries in
the State. Construction and Utilization of
Infrastructure especially in the backward
areas, Procurement and Marketing
Industrial raw materials and extending
technical support and assistance are
the means to achieve the above Goals. In the
last few years, the Corporation is playing a
key role in the development of M.S.M.E.
Sector in terms of establishment of New
Industrial Estates, Upgradation of basic
infrastructure in the existing Industrial
Estates by introducing various
entrepreneur friendly measures both in
Industrial Estate and Commercial Activities.
KSSIDC's policy initiatives and strategies
include.
r Monitoring of the lands allotted by way
of introducing strict time limit on
utilisation of plots.
r Initiating participative policy in which
land owners are made partners in the
benefits of the Industrial Estates to be
developed.
r Policy to develop Functional Industrial
Estates / Parks on P.P.P. Model on
privately owned to avoid land
acquisition and thereby, to avoid
blockage of funds.
450
r Proposals to develop new Industrial
Estates keeping in mind the modern
infrastructure, utility and service
requirements.
r To upgrade the existing Infrastructure
and to take up Critical Infrastructure
works in the Industrial Estates, by
seeking separate funds in the State
Budgets and also by bringing them
under the ambit of Industrial Township
Act so that the concerned Industries
Associations of the Estates can collect
taxes and other levies and maintain the
Estates themselves efficiently.
r With a view to assist the SSI Sector in
marketing their products, Marketing
Assistance Scheme was proposed to
be taken up in catering to the
requirements of Public Sector
Undertakings/Boards & Corporations
and other Agencies. In this connection
if the Government extends exemption
under Section 4(g) of the KTPP Act.
Marketing Assistance Scheme can be
perused by the Corporation.
K.S.S.I.D.C. has been continuing to serve
the M.S.M.E. units in the State by procuring
and distributing various Industrial Raw
materials required by them like Iron & Steel,
Coal, Cement, Paraffin Wax etc., through its
9 raw material depots throughout the State.
Since K.S.S.I.D.C. is procuring &
distributing various industrial raw
materials, this has helped the M.S.M.E.
units in getting good quality of raw
materials at reasonable prices. This has
acted as a deterrent to the Private Traders
from exploiting the M.S.M.E. units.
K.S.S.I.D.C. has been extending 30 days
interest free credit facility to the M.S.M.E.
units for purchase of raw materials through
K.S.S.I.D.C. raw material depots against
Bank Guarantee. Also under the provisions
of M.O.U executed between Karnataka
State Financial Corporation and
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
K.S.S.I.D.C., M/s. Karnataka State
Financial Corporation is extending
Rs.100.00 lakhs Financial Assistance per
unit / per year to the M.S.M.E. Sector for
purchase of Industrial Raw Materials under
line of credit. This has helped the M.S.M.E.
units to meet their raw material
requirements without immediately
arranging the funds.
Due to severe competition, the prospects of
improving the sales of raw materials
through K.S.S.I.D.C. are not encouraging.
K.S.S.I.D.C. found it difficult to achieve the
sales target for 2018-19 and 2019-20.
However, all-out efforts will be made to
achieve maximum possible sales target
through KSSIDC Raw Material Depots.
9.8.2 Karnataka State Industrial Area
Development Board (KIADB)
Karnataka Industrial Areas Development
Board (KIADB) is a statutory body, playing
an important role in development of
industries in the state. Since inception, the
KIADB has developed 170 Industrial Areas
in 30 districts of the state covering an area of
about 61354.73 acres. In all the industrial
areas developed by KIADB, basic
infrastructural facilities like internal roads,
water supply, power supply, street lights,
common facilities centers, buildings,
housing and offsite infrastructure like
widening & improvement of approach roads
etc., are provided.
Govt. of Karnataka vide its order dtd.13-08-
2007 and 13-05-2010 in order to facilitate
land acquisition activities for industrial
development, has introduced a land-
sharing scheme to KIADB acquired lands,
wherein about 9583.00Sq.ft. of developed
land will be provided to the land owner in
lieu of land compensation fixed for one acre
of land acquired. The statistics on the
performance of KIADB for the last five
years are given in Table 9.39. Achievement
made by KIADB details are presented in
Appendix 9.8.

9.8.7 Department of Public Enterprises Husbandry, Energy, Housing, Transport,

Government of Karnataka had established
the Karnataka State Bureau of Public
Enterprises in the year 1981. Later on, in the
year 2002 this Bureau was converted as The
Department of Disinvestment
and Public Enterprises Reforms.
The main aim/object of this department
is to take decisions in matters

department is vested with the responsibility
of monitoring, regulatory, evaluator and
advisory functions for the betterment of the
Enterprises.
Out of the 60 operating units, details of the
profit-making top 5 State-level Public

The 60 State Level Public Enterprises in
Karnataka are grouped into various sectors
like Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal
Co-operation etc. While more than 36
Enterprises are profit making and rest are
experiencing loss. State Public Sector
Undertakings play a key role in the socio-
economic development of the State. Their
mandate is primarily development and
welfare oriented with the objective of
assisting the Government in better
governance and to provide requisite
services. In keeping with their mandate, it is
imperative that systems and structures be
put in place to enhance their efficiency,
streamline their efficacy and optimize their
output to enable them to cope with a highly
competitive and fast changing environment.
Hence, the Department sponsors evaluation
of PSU's from reputed institutions in order
to enable the loss making PSU's to move
towards profit.
In order to update knowledge and skill, the
Department also conducts Management
Development and Training programmes to
the officers and officials working in the PSEs
which aim at improving the performance in
the areas of productivity, marketing,

9.10 KARNATAKA TOURISM
Karnataka with its great Heritage and
Cultural Background has vast potential for
the sustainable development of tourism
industry. State Government has declared
Tourism as an industry' since 1988. The
Department has brought out series of
Tourism Policies with the package of
incentives, concessions and subsidies for
development of Tourist Infrastructure in the
State through the private investment.
Tourism has been given priority and it is
instrumental for Socio-Economic growth of
the State as well as providing lot of
employment opportunities for both skilled
and unskilled man power. Human Resource
Development has also been given
importance and initiatives have been taken
to impart short term courses in hospitality
sector to the younger generation. With the
471
development of Tourism, other related
sectors such as, Transport, Hospitality,
Horticulture, Handicrafts and other micro
enterprises have developed.
The Economic benefits of Tourism are far-
reaching. In addition to enhancing revenues
within the segment, tourism has the
potential to create employment and
generate wealth in a sort of "ripple effect"
across industries throughout an entire
geographical region. By boosting local
spending and generating direct job
opportunities, tourism provides socio-
economic benefits that far outweigh the
costs. Rural areas, in particular, stand to
gain the most from the improved regional
infrastructure and enhanced revenue
circulation engendered by tourism-related
development projects.
The growth of Tourism is directly
proportional to the arrivals of tourists to a
particular destination. More number of
arrivals will create more economic activities
and generate employment and other social
facilities.
The impact is measurable at a particular
destination comparing with its previous
position. Road connectivity, Electrical
Connection, Water Supply, Handicrafts and
various other related sectors also improve in
particular destination. Growth of
Community Development in particular area
can also be attributed to growth of Tourism.
Karnataka is a veritable Treasure Trove of
Tourism hills, bewitching white sand
beaches, magnificent monuments, temples
and palaces, exciting wild life, exquisite
handicrafts, salubrious and eco-friendly
climate, endless varieties of mouth-watering
cuisines, hospitality of the people, rich
heritage and glorious culture make the
whole state a tourist's paradise.
The exclusive perfume of sandalwood and
agarbathis, the aroma of fresh blooming
coffee flowers, the heady fragrance of the
Mysore jasmine and the thousand varieties
of roses make Karnataka a land of
fragrance. The State has all the ingredients
for a great holiday-the relaxed length of the
Arabian sea coast line, the majestic rocks of
the Deccan, thick lush green tropical
forests, an unimaginable variety of trees,
472
Plants, flowers, animals and birds and an
all-pervasive sense of history and culture.
Karnataka is probably the only state in India
where you can take an elephant ride hike
across an excitingly rugged terrains, swim
and surf in a green blue sea, wander
through the forts and ruins, pay a
devotional visit to magnificent Temples,
churches, Mosques, Gurudwaras and Jain
Basadis, relax in an unpolluted and
peaceful natural environment or simply
watch the monsoon rains batter the earth,
transforming the land into a variegated form
of productivity.
Karnataka is a State of charming contrasts
with the modern blending harmoniously
with the ancient. Even in the thick of the
bustling life of the modern cities, one can
discern an easy-going, relaxed way of life. All
these and many more make the state an
enigmatic, unforgettable and ecstatic
experience for all tourists. Hence,
Karnataka is aptly called "ONE STATE,
MANY WORLDS".
The Director, Department of Tourism at
Bengaluru is looking after the
administration of Tourism Department
along with promotional and developmental
activities. It is supported by two other
Government undertaking agencies namely,
Karnataka State Tourism Development
Corporation Ltd (KSTDC) and Jungle Lodges
and Resorts ltd. Every district has a District
Tourism Promotional Council headed by the
Deputy Commissioners of the concerned
districts. This committee will look after the
tourism activities and also monitor the
progress of tourism works.
The KSTDC undertakes commercial
activities like operation and maintenance of
infrastructure facilities created by the
Department and running of Hotels,
restaurants and organizing package tours
in and outside the State. It is also looking
after the operation of Golden Chariot
(Luxury Tourist Train). Jungle Lodges and
Resorts manage the Eco-Tourism units in
the State; currently it is managing 18 such
Eco-Tourism units & 4 Jungle Camps
across the State, which is the best of its kind
in the country.

 EMPLOYMENT AND
LABOUR WELFARE
10.1. INTRODUCTION
Achieving high rate of growth along with
commensurate generation of productive and
quality employment opportunities for the
rising labour force continues to be a major
challenge for both the central and the state
governments. Low growth in employment,
prevalence of low productive and low quality
employment especially in the unorganized
sector and high unemployment rate among
the youth and educated indicate that the
expansion of productive, quality and decent
employment has been the principal concern
of the state government's policy in recent
years. It reduces not only poverty but also
makes the growth process more inclusive. In
Karnataka, agriculture is the predominant
source of livelihood for the majority of the
population and employment is largely
unorganized, rural and non-industrial in
nature.
10.2 KEY LABOUR MARKET
INDICATORS
In the policy context the most critical factor
that impinges on labour supply is the
Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR).
LFPR is a measure of the proportion of a
country's/state's working-age population
that engages actively in the labour market,
either by actual working or seeking for work.
It provides an indication about the
availability of labour force for production of
goods and services.
Other than Labour Force Participation
Rate, Worker Population Ratio and
Unemployment Rates are also very
important indicators in social and economic
arena. Worker Population Ratio (WPR) is
defined as the number of persons employed
per 1000 persons. Unemployment Rate (UR)
is defined as the number of persons
unemployed per 1000 in the labour force.
However in this report it is expressed in
percentage.
CHAPTER 10
Low LFPR primarily implies high
dependency ratio. The development
experience suggests a strong negative
correlation between dependency and
growth.
Employment and Unemployment Survey-
2017-18:
Employment and Unemployment surveys
(EUS) of National Sample Survey (NSS) are
the Primary source of Labour market data at
National and State level in India. This is the
First Annual report based on the data
collected in Periodic Labour Force Survey
(PLFS) during July-2017 to June-2018. As
this is annual Survey there is continuity in
the data collection.
In this analysis two approaches for each
parameter are considered. They are Usual
Principal status (UPS) and Usual Principal
and Subsidiary Status (UPSS] or (PS+SS)
approach. Here the age criteria is 15 years
and above for all the estimates. Following
analysis gives comparisons among Andhra
Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala,
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana and along
with all India average.
The parameters considered are Labour
Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Worker
Population Ratio (WPR), and Unemployment
Rate (UR).
The activity in which a person spends
relatively longer time during the reference
period is termed as usual principal activity
of the person. To decide the usual principal
activity of a person, he/she is first
categorized as belonging to the labour force
or not, during the reference period on the
basis of major time criterion. A person may
have pursued some other activity for more
than 30 days or more other than his usual
principal activity. This status is termed as
usual principal activity and subsidiary
activity status (PS+SS) or (UPSS) approach.
479
480 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20

The critical issues in the context of labour
force enquiries pertain to defining the
labourforce and measuring participation of
labour force in different economic activities.
The activity participation of the people is not
only dynamic but also multidimensional as
it varies between regions, age, education,
gender, industry and occupational
categories.
10.2.1 Labour Force Participation Rate
The statistics presented in the following
Tables show the scenario on employment -
unemployment in Karnataka. There is also
comparison among the comparable states
and National average. This indicates that
LFPR for persons aged 15 years and above
according to PS+SS status approach is
51.6% in Karnataka, whereas this is 49.8%
for India. Among comparable states, lowest
rate is in Kerala and the highest rate is in
Andhra Pradesh. This rate is 80.5% for
males in rural Karnataka, which is highest
among the comparable States. In Karnataka
this rate is Third lowest in urban female
group (22.8%) and this is more than the all
India rate of 20.4% (urban female). Table
10.1 shows Labour Force Participation Rate
for Persons Aged 15 Years and above
According to UPSS Status Approach.
10.2.2 Worker Population Ratio (WPR)
The WPR indicates the proportion of
workers/employed persons in the total
population. WPR under UPSS approach for
Karnataka is 49.1% which is more than all
India average of 46.8%. This rate is more in
Andhra Pradesh (57.2%), Tamil Nadu
(51.0%) and Telangana (49.8%). However, it
is less in Kerala (41.2%) and Gujarat
(47.4%). Highest WPR in Karnataka is
77.2% for rural male and for female it is
27.2%. Both are more than the all India
average of 72.0% and 23.7% respectively.
For urban male it is 69.2% and for urban
female it is 21.2% and the all India average is
69.3% and 18.2% respectively. The state
average male and female worker population
ratios (74.0% and 24.8%) are higher than all
India average. Among the comparable
states, Andhra Pradesh has the highest
ratio of 57.2% and Kerala has the lowest
ratio of 41.2%. Table 10.2 shows Worker
Population Ratio Rate for persons aged 15
years and above according to UPSS
approach.
10.2.3 Unemployment Rate (UR)
Yet another important parameter of
employment scenario is Unemployment
Rate (UR). It is the ratio of number of
unemployed persons/person-days to the
number of persons/person-days in the
labour force. The estimates of URs are
obtained based on the estimates of
unemployment obtained by the number of
persons usually unemployed based on
'usual principal status' approach, used for
the classification of the activity status of
persons.

Here UPSS is taken for comparison and
Table 10.3 presents the UPSS UR for the
comparable states. Under UPSS approach,
UR of Karnataka is 4.8% for all persons i.e.,
urban and rural put together which is very
less compared to India's rate of 6.0%. This
rate is lowest in Andhra pradesh (4.5%) and
this rate is highest in Kerala (11.4%). In
Karnataka, the rural areas unemployment
rate is 4.0% for males and 3.4% for females.
Whereas in urban areas, for males it is 6.3%
and for females it is 7.2%. At all India level,
for males in rural areas it is 5.7% and for
females it is 3.8%. The corresponding
figures for urban male and female are 6.9%
and 10.8% respectively.
10.2.4 Distribution of Workers According
to Work Conditions (UPSS Approach)
In the Table 10.4an attempt has been made
to present the proportion of workers
according to the nature of the work. For this
four categories are considered i.e., self
employed, wage/salaried, casual labourers.
For this analysis all southern states are
considered and compared with all India
average.
From the above Table the following
observations can be made.
r In Karnataka the highest numbers of
persons are self-employed (47.8%). This
is followed by casual labourers with

26.8 and wage earners with 25.4. The
State has more number of casual
workers than the National average of
24.9% and wage earners of 22.8%.
r Among all the comparable states the
percentage of self-employed is highest
in Gujarat with 54.7% followed by
Telangana with 47.9% and Karnataka
with 47.8%. The lowest percentage of
self-employed is found in Tamil Nadu
and it is just 32.8%.
r Among casual labourers highest
percentage is found in Andhra Pradesh
with 36.9% followed by Tamil Nadu with
33.5% and Kerala with 29.3%.
r The proportion of wage earners /
salaried is just 22.8% at all India level.
However Tamil Nadu has the highest
share of such workers that is 33.8%
followed by Kerala with 32.9% and
Maharashtra with 28.9%.
10.2.5 Labour Force and Work Force
Participation Rate
According to Census 2011, the Work
Participation Rate (WPR) is defined as the
proportion of total workers (i.e. main and
marginal workers) to total population. In the
State, 2,78,72,597 persons constituting
45.62% of the total population have
enumerated themselves as workers. Among
them, 1,82,70,116 are males and 96,02,481
are females. In other words, 59% of the total
male population and 31.87% of the total
female population are workers. In 2001
Census the WPR in the State was 44.53%

comprising 56.64% male workers and
31.98% female workers. On the whole WPR
in 2011 has increased in general
irrespective of gender and more significantly
in urban areas (4%) compared to 2001. It is
noted that female WPR has marginally
declined in rural Karnataka (Table 10.5).
The proportion of total workers over the
period of time from 1961- 2011 is given in
Figure. 10.1.
Table 10.5 and Figure 10.1 explain the
trends in WPR in Karnataka with rural –
urban and male and female break up. In the
state there is an overall increase in the WPR
from 45.48% in 1961 to 45.62% in 2011. If
we compare the WPR between the two
censuses, 2001 and 2011 the following
observations can be made.
r The overall, rural and urban WPR have
increased during this period. The extent
of increase is more in urban areas when
compared to rural areas.
r The WPR among males has increased
both in rural and urban areas and again
in urban areas the extent of increase is
more.
r The WPR among females has registered
a negative growth rate in rural areas.
However, in urban areas it has
increased from 16.37% to 20.81%.
r The WPR for females is 32% whereas the
same is 59% for males, in rural areas
they are 39% and 60% respectively. In
urban areas the WPR for males is 58%
and for females it is 21%. This indicates

that everywhere female WPR is less than
male WPR. Further it is very low in
urban areas implying the dependency
syndrome among urban females.
District-wise Work Participation Rates
In this section an attempt has been made to
compare and analyze district wise WPR.
2011 census data reveal that among all the
districts, Chitradurga has the highest WPR
of 51.62% and Bidar has the lowest WPR of
41.25%. The details are presented in Table
10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.
From the above Tables 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8
the following trends can be observed.
r Among all the districts, Chitradurga
with a WPR of 51.62% occupies the top
position, followed closely by
Chikkaballapur, Hassan, Tumakuru
and Kodagu with WPR of more than
50%.
r The lowest WPR of 41.25% is recorded
in Bidar preceded closely by Uttara
Kannada, Kalaburgi, Dharwad and
Vijayapura with WPR between 42 and
43% (Table 10.6).
r The highest proportion of male workers
is registered in Mandya (63.55%) and
the lowest proportion of male workers is
recorded in Vijayapura (52.21%)
(Table10.7).
r In respect of female workers the highest
proportion is recorded in Chitradurga
(41.93%) and the lowest proportion is
registered in Bengaluru District
(24.61%) (Table 10.8).
r When compared with the State average
WPR, Bidar (41.25%), Kalaburgi
(42.36%) and Bellary (45.54%) districts
have recorded less than the State
average of 45.62%. The rest of the other
districts in Hyderabad Karnataka
region have recorded WPR above the
State average (Table 10.9).
r Though the WPR of the districts are
above the State average, employment is
mainly in dry land agriculture, which is
both insecure and less remunerative.
Among all the divisions, Mysore
Division has the highest WPR (47.12%).

The category wise details of workers are
given in Table 10.13 and Figure 10.2.
Agricultural Labourers
Though the number of agricultural
labourers has increased in the State by
14.92% in 2001-11, their proportion to total
workers has marginally declined from
26.46% in 2001 to 25.67% in 2011 (Table
10.13).The proportion of male agricultural
labourers has increased by a nominal
0.77%, their female counterparts have
registered a decline of 3.12%. Among all the
districts, the proportion of agricultural
labourers has varied between 2.31% in
Bengaluru District and 44.49% in
Chamarajanagar District.
In 19 out of 30 districts, the proportion of
agricultural labourers is higher than the
State average of 25.67% with 16 districts
reporting more than 30%. In 3 out of the
remaining 11 districts, where the proportion
is below the State average, the proportion of
agricultural labourers is less than 6%.

Household Industry Workers Other Workers
When compared with State average of
agricultural labourers, all the districts of
Hyderabad Karnataka region have recorded
higher than the State average of 25.7%
(Table 10.14). However, employment is
mainly in dry land agriculture, which is both
insecure and less remunerative.
Cultivators
The number of cultivators has decreased
from 68,83,856 in 2001 to 65,80,649 in
2011. Of the total decrease of 3,03,207, the

(2,24,075) is more than the decrease in the
number of male cultivators (79,132).The
proportion of cultivators to total workers has
decreased by 5.64% and the decrease in the
proportion of male cultivators is by 5.7%,
whereas the decrease in the proportion of
female cultivators is by 5.68%.
Among the districts, the decrease in the
proportion of cultivators is more than 5% in
11 districts with Bengaluru Rural District
registering the highest decrease of 9.55%
followed closely by Mysore District, i.e. by
9.26%. In the remaining 19 districts, the
488
decrease is less than 5% with the least
decrease of 0.31% recorded in Kodagu
preceded by Raichuru with a decrease by
1.05%.Even though all the districts have

Kodagu. Among the total 9,13,227 persons
enumerated as workers engaged in
household industry in the State, nearly 3
lakh workers are accounted in Dakshina
Kannada and Bengaluru districts alone.
Both these districts together account for
more than 30% of the total workers engaged
in household industry.
Other Workers
All workers engaged in any category of
economic activity other than cultivation,
agricultural labour or household industry

a low of 25.66% in Yadgiri. The proportion of
Other Workers to total workers is more than
50% in 6 districts, whereas it is below 30%
in 6 districts. In the remaining 18 districts,
the proportion of Other Workers is between
30 to 50%.
From the Table 10.14 the following trends
can be observed.
r Among four divisions the proportion of
agricultural labourers is highest in
Kalaburgi division that is 39.8% and the
lowest is in Bengaluru division that is
18%.
r Among cultivators the highest
proportion is in Belgavi division that is
27.46% and again Bengaluru division
has the lowest of 19.63%.

State Governments in the ratio of 90:10
nearly. Labour and material ratio has to be
maintained at 60:40. The wage portion is
fully (i.e. labour) borne by Government of
India, where as material portion has to be
borne by Central and State Governments in
the ratio of 75:25. For all works taken up for
implementation by all GPs and all other
implementing agencies, the cost of the
material component including the wages of
the skilled and semi-skilled workers shall
not exceed 40% at the district level. (District
to be considered as a unit).
Labour budget under MGNREGS for the
generation of 1200.00 lakh person days for
the financial year 2019-20 has been
approved by Ministry of Rural Development,
Government of India. Corresponding
allocation for the scheme works out to Rs.

10.10 Progress of Various Labour Laws
Enacted in Karnataka
A major issue in the area of labour reforms is
how to ensure minimum conditions of
decent work and livelihood in the
unorganized or informal sector of the
economy. The limited applicability of
important laws and the application of
number filters have led to the emergency of a
dual labour market with the resultant
implication of the overwhelmingly larger
sections of the unorganized sector labour
being deprived of protection from laws in
many spheres. Labour is a concurrent
subject in the Constitution of India, on
which both the Centre and the States can
legislate in their respective spheres. Labour
regulations can be broadly grouped into four
broad areas, based on the aspects of
employment covered by them, conditions of
work, wages and remuneration,
employment security and industrial
relations and social security and welfare of
workers. The statistics regarding the
progress of labour laws enacted in
Karnataka State is provided in Table 10.35.
The Table illustrates the remarkable
achievements in the matter of enforcement
of various Acts in terms of prosecution and
imposition of fine by the Department. Table
10.36 illustrates the progress of Industrial
Disputes Act of 1947, Table 10.37

10.12 Outcomes and Challenges
Rapid industrialization is taking place in the
country and also in Karnataka. Taking into
consideration the new manufacturing
processes, hazardous processes, usage of
hazardous chemicals and raw materials, it
is very essential to ensure occupational
safety and health of the workers at the work
place. In view of the above, risk based
inspections are conducted in the major
accidents hazardous Factories and
Factories having hazardous manufacturing
process to ensure occupational safety and
health of the workers at the work place.
The employment of workers in the industrial
sector is second largest after the
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
employment of workers in the agriculture
sector in the country. Hence, it is very
essential to ensure occupational safety and
health of workers in the factories at work
place.
The department is ensuring the above, by
effective and risk based inspections with
total compliance of the provisions of law. As
per the industrial policy and requirement of
the management of the factory, speedy and
transparent processing of the applications
in respect of registration of factories in line
with ease of doing business by means of
online processing is implemented in the
department.
 ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE
11.1 POWER SECTOR
Electricity is one of the most precious things
that science has given to mankind.
Electricity is used in every walk of life to
meet the day to day domestic, commercial,
industrial, transportation, communication,
entertainment, medical, research and
development works and every activity of the
human beings.
The use of electricity turns the wheel of life
and the usage is getting increased
continuously. The per capita consumption
of electricity is one of the yardsticks for
measuring the standard of living. The
wheels of economic progress revolve around
meeting the demand for electricity.
Electricity occupies a unique status in the
annals of human life. Electricity is a
precious thing and should be conserved.
Karnataka State has been experiencing
conditions of power shortage because of the
ever-growing demand for power influenced
by the rapid economic progress. The State
Government has been taking various
initiatives to implement projects in the
public as well as private sectors for adding
new installed capacities for power
generation. Power generation in the public
sector is managed by the Karnataka Power
Corporation Limited (KPCL), whereas the
Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation
Limited (KPTCL) deals with transmission of
power and load despatch functions. As part
of the restructuring of the power sector in
the State, the erstwhile Karnataka
Electricity Board (KEB) was restructured as
KPTCL in 1999 by giving it a corporate
status. As per the Electricity Act 2003,
KPTCL, being the State's transmission
utility, is not empowered to trade in
electricity. Therefore, the distribution
companies directly procure power from
power generators, both public and private
and ESCOMs' own distribution network and
511
CHAPTER 11
use KPTCL's transmission network to
distribute electricity
11.1.1 Power Sector Reforms:
Recognizing the crucial role of power in
achieving economic progress, Karnataka
was one of the first Indian States to
implement power sector reforms.The
institutional setup for undertaking the
reforms was strengthened with the
enactment of the Karnataka Electricity
Reforms Act in 1999. The Karnataka
Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC)
was established as a regulatory authority
of the State's Power Sector. Besides other
functions, it regulates the tariff for supply of
power to different categories of consumers.
Four Electricity Supply Companies (ESCOMs),
Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company Ltd.
(BESCOM), Mangaluru Electricity Supply
Company Ltd. (MESCOM), Hubli Electricity
Supply Company Ltd. (HESCOM) and
Kalaburagi Electricity Supply Company Ltd.
(GESCOM) were established during 2002
and another ESCOM, Chamundeshwari
Electricity Supply Corporation Ltd. (CESC)
was established in 2005. The Hukkeri Rural
Electric Co-operative Society (HRECS) is
engaged in distribution business in Hukkeri
Taluk. These five distribution companies
and HRECS are engaged in retail supply of
electricity to the end consumers.
Government of Karnataka accorded
approval in April,2007, for setting up of a
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) viz., Power
Company of Karnataka Limited (PCKL) to
supplement the efforts of KPCL in capacity
addition. PCKL was incorporated on 20th
August, 2007 under the Companies Act
1956. PCKL is responsible for capacity
addition by way of setting up of new power
projects through bidding process, under
Case-II bidding guidelines issued by
Ministry of Power, GOI and long term
procurement of power under Case-I bidding
guidelines of MoP, GoI. In order to bridge the
512
demand and supply gap, PCKL has been
procuring power on behalf of the ESCOMs
from various sources including purchase of
power through Energy Exchange, Banking
(SWAP) as well bilateral transactions. PCKL
also co-ordinates with other States and
Central Government agencies on power
related issues through the forum of
Southern Regional Power Committee
(SRPC).
The State Govt is on the right path to
increase the Generation, Transmission and
Distribution capacity addition to meet the
ever-growing demand for power in the State.
Installed capacity addition during 2019-20
up to November is 1143.83 MW.
With the addition of generation capacity, the
state is able to ensure near self sufficiency in
availability of power. The variations in hydel
availability and coal supply hamper the
status of self sufficiency. Otherwise, the
State can meet its demand with the existing
and pipeline capacity addition.
Attaining self sufficiency in power
availability is a dynamic aspect that
depends on various related aspects.
11.1.2 Power Generation
The State of Karnataka depends on several
sources of supply for meeting its power
requirements. The State has power
generation infrastructure within the State
belonging to both public and private sectors.
In addition, it has guaranteed allocations
from the central power generating stations,
and finally relies on imports from other
states for bridging the demand-supply gap.
Thus, the main sources of power supply in
Karnataka are:
a. Generating Stations of KPCL
b. Independent Power Producers (IPPs)
(Conventional and Non-conventional)
c. State's share from Central Generating
Stations
d. Procurement from other States through
bilateral trade, purchase and energy
exchanges
e. Barter arrangement (power banking)
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
KPCL has been pioneering the capacity
addition for power generation in the public
sector in the State. Benefiting from
the reform processes, various private
generators have also established power
plants in Karnataka. Further, the State
Government has established the Karnataka
Renewable Energy Development Ltd
(KREDL) to harness renewable sources of
energy.
The total installed generation capacity
both in the public sector and private
sector including the State's share in
the Central Generation Station (CGS) up to
Nov-2019 is 29884.50MW. The installed
capacity in the public sector is 12979.00MW
(including CGS allocation) and the private
sector's share is 16905.50MW. In the
private sector capacity, the share of
renewable energy sources of power
generation (excluding the Share of IPP
Thermal & Mini Hydel) in overall installed
capacity is 46.24%. The status of power
sector in terms of both installed capacity
and electricity generation in Karnataka is
provided in Table 11.1.
The status of the installed capacity of Hydel
power generation as on 30.11.2019 is
12.31% in total installed capacity. This
share increases to 15.34%, if Mini-Hydel is
included. The contribution from wind power
is the third highest at 4817.84 MW after coal
thermal and solar (Figure 11.1).
It may be observed from Table 11.1, out of
the total installed capacity of 29884.50 MW
as on 30.11.2019, the renewable energy
share including Mini Hydel and Co-
generation is 49.39%. The Hydro Thermal
mix in the State generation in public sector
including Central Generating share is in the
ratio of about 1:2 .
The total power supply in 2018-19 was
75355.15 MU and that in 2019-20 up to
November was 46804.15 MU.
Installed Capacity:
1. The State has added 1183.83 MW of
Generating capacity in renewable
energy sector (including Mini Hydel),
during 2019-20 (Up to November-19).

As can be observed from Table 11.3, the
average cost of power generation is higher in
thermal plants as compared to Hydel plants
and the State's reliance on thermal plants for
power generation has increased over the
years. As a result, the average cost of
power generation (paise/kWh) has
been increasing. Installed Capacity, Power
Generation, Imports, T & D losses and
Consumption of Power since 2014-15 are
given at Appendix 11.1.
Purchase of power from other States and
energy exchanges
Towards meeting shortages in electricity
supply, Karnataka buys power from
neighbouring states, other states and from
energy exchanges. The details of such
purchases during the last five years are given
in Table 11.4(a).
However, during 2018-19 & 2019-20 (Up to
Nov-19),there was surplus power and it was

Transmission & Distribution Losses to release overloaded Distribution

(T&D Losses) and Aggregate Technical &
Commercial Losses ( AT&C Losses)
The State Government has taken various
measures to reduce T&D and AT&C losses.
Measures taken for reduction of T&D loss:
r Bifurcation of lengthy HT/LT lines &
overloaded 11KV feeders.
r Reconductoring of HT/LT lines and
reduction of HT/LT ratio.
r Providing additional transformers
Transformer Centres (DTCs).
r 100% Metering and Accuracy in Billing.
r Load balancing and bifurcation of load.
r Strengthening of Vigilance/Meter
Testing Activities.
r Replacing Electro mechanical meters by
Electro Static/High precision energy
meters.
r Encouraging consumers to install
energy efficient equipments
520
Measures taken for reduction of AT&C
Loss:
r 100% billing of consumer installations.
r 100% collection efficiency.
r Improving vigilance activities.
r Periodical rating of HT & LT
Installations.
Karnataka's power sector has reduced its
T&D losses from 22.00% (in 2009-10) to
16.16% in 2018-19 (Figure 11.2). It is
expected to bring down T&D losses to about
15.00% by March 2020. It may also come
down further during 2019-20 depending on
the quantum of supply. The utilities in the
sector are making planned investment for
strengthening and augmenting the network
for reduction of technical loss.
Figure 11.2 also shows the trends in AT&C
losses during the period 2009-10 to
2018-19. The AT&C Loss which was 23.00%
in 2009-10 has been brought down to
15.27% in 2018-19.
The vigilance efforts by various authorities
of the ESCOMs have contributed to the
reduction in AT&C losses (Table 11.8).

11.1.4 Power Consumption:
As shown in Table 11.9, in the year
2018-19, the agricultural sector (water
pumping through irrigation pump sets)
accounted for the highest share of electricity
consumed with a share of 38.98%. Domestic
sector occupied a distant second position
with a share of 22.14%. However, in terms
of paying for the electricity, the agricultural
sector pays the least whereas the
commercial consumers pay the highest
tariff.
The ESCOMs supply electricity to various
categories of consumers at different
price slabs. Details of revenue realized from
different categories of consumers are given
in Table 11.10. This shows that during the
year 2018-19, nearly 68.41% of
the ESCOMs' revenue arises from LT
category consumers even though they
account for about 75.42% of the
electricity consumption. The HT industrial
& commercial sector, while accounting for
only 20.20% of the electricity sales,
contributes 27.56% to the total revenue
earned in 2018-19. Electricity supplied to
HT Agriculture including lift irrigation
fetches the lowest average revenue of

11.1.5 Electricity Demand and Supply
Status:
The core issue in power supply in Karnataka
is the status of demand & supply to ensure
that there is no shortage in supply in the
State. The State of Karnataka has achieved
near self sufficiency in power generation to
meet the growing demand. The occasional
gap due to seasonal variation in demand and
supply is met through short term purchases.
There is ever-growing demand for power in
Karnataka. The State Government has been
planning through various means for
capacity addition for adding more power to
the grid to meet the growing demand. The
State Government is sourcing power from all
available sources including short term
energy exchange to meet the demand.
Apart from augmenting its generation,
the State has been importing power
from Central power-generating stations
and also through energy exchanges, for
minimising power shortages. In addition,
Figure 11.3: Trends in Peak Demand for Power and Peak Energy Supply
Source: KPTCL
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
the State Government is taking steps for
conservation of energy through Demand
Side Management programmes.
Trends in peak demand for power and peak
energy supply per day during the period
2005-06 to 2019-20 (Up to Nov-2019) are
given in Figure 11.3. It may be observed
that both the peak demand for power
and peak energy supply per day are
showing increasing trends since 2008-09.
The peak demand met during 2018-19 was
12881MW and in 2019-20 (Up to Nov -
2019), it is 12688MW. The anticipated peak
demand for power to be met during 2019-20
is around 13796 MW.
Figures 11.4 and 11.5 show the trends in
estimated gaps in demand and supply for
power and energy respectively. The power
supply shortage was the highest at
1709 MW in 2014-15 (Figure 11.4) and
energy supply shortage was the highest at
8226 MU in 2007-08 (Figure 11.5).

Demand Side Management (DSM)
The Government of Karnataka has
implemented several programmes to
conserve energy as part of its Demand Side
Management (DSM) initiatives. Some of the
important programmes are:
1. Time of Day Tariff Metering is made
mandatory for industrial consumers,
especially for HT consumers having
sanction load of 500 KVA and above.
2. Installing Energy Efficient Street
Lighting Systems and Electronic Time
Switches for street light installations for
switching “ON” and “OFF”.
3. Segregating agricultural loads from
the existing 11KV feeders through
Niranthara Jyothi and Deena Dayal
Upadhyaya Gram Jyothi Yojana (DDUGJY)
schemes to provide 24X7 uninterrupted
power supply to non-agricultural loads
in rural areas.
4. Adoption of High Voltage Distribution
System (HVDS) for agricultural loads in
rural areas.
5. Encouraging domestic consumers to
use solar water heaters.
6. Mandatory use of solar water heating
systems for all residential buildings
with a built up area of 600 Sq.Ft.
and above falling within the limits
of Municipalities/Corporations, Bengaluru
Development Authority, etc.
7. Mandatory use of LED in Government
buildings/Aided institutions/Boards/
Corporations.
8. Mandatory use of star rated energy
efficient irrigation pump sets conforming
to standards prescribed by the Bureau
of Energy Efficiency.
9. Promotion of energy efficient building
designs.
10. Adoption of Bachat Lamp Yojana
launched by Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE), Government of India.
11. Implementation of Solar Rooftop
programme under Net-meterng
concept.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
12. Vidhyuth Jagruthi Yojana, an awareness
programme on DSM activities for
students.
13. Bringing Surya Raitha Scheme, a pilot
project for arranging power supply to IP
sets through solar, under Net-metering
concept.
14. Distribution of LED bulbs under
Hosabelaku through EESL as part of
UJALA Scheme.
ESCOMs are currently implementing a
smart grid pilot project and a project for
implementation of smart meter technologies
for online recording of energy consumption
and provision of post-paid/pre-paid options
to consumers of electricity.
11.1.6 Rural Electrification:
Towards meeting the targets stipulated
by the National Electricity Policy (NEP), the
State Government has planned initiatives
for energisation of Villages, Hamlets, Harijan
Bastis and Thandas. All the villages of
Karnataka have been electrified.
The ESCOMs have planned to energise
Hamlets and Thandas in a phased manner.
The details of electrification status in
Hamlets, Harijan Bastis, Thandas and IP
sets during the last 5 years and in the
current financial year are provided in

11.1.7 Karnataka Renewable Energy
Development Limited (KREDL)
KREDL is the nodal agency for the
development of renewable energy sources in
Karnataka. To harness green and clean
renewable energy sources in the State for
environmental benefits, energy security and
to initiate energy conservation & efficiency
measures in all the sectors for sustainable
development, the Government of Karnataka
enacted a policy on renewable energy (for the
period 2009-14) on 19.01.2010.

r Niranthara Jyothi Yojane is a major
project that aims to segregate the rural
area loads into agricultural and non-
agricultural loads so as to provide
24 hours of quality power supply to
rural areas and assured hours of power
supply to the irrigation pump sets. As
on Nov-2019, 1721 Niranthara Jyothi
feeder works (884 feeders in phase1 and
837 feeders in phase 2) have been
completed,of which 1716 feeders have
been commissioned as at the end of
Nov- 2019.
r Some of the energy conservation
programs like Demand Side Management
(DSM) and smart grid pilot project have
resulted in saving energy.
6. Issues/Challenges:
i) Subsidy burden:
The Number of IP sets & BJ/KJ installations
are increasing over the years resulting in
increased consumption. The monthly
consumption limit per installation of BJ/KJ
has been increased from 18 to 40 units and
hence the subsidy need has increased. Due
to inflationary tendency, the cost of supply
is increasing over the years. The tariff is
getting increased due to increase in input cost
of Generation, Transmission and Distribution.
Consequently, subsidy burden is also
increasing.
ii) Cost of Supply:
Due to increased demand for power in the
state, the thermal share is increased adding
to the cost of supply. The operational cost is
also getting increased. The revenue
realisation from sales is not matching with
the overall cost of supply and there is a gap
or deficit in revenue every year. In order to
bridge this revenue deficit temporarily,
ESCOMs are resorting to short term
borrowings. The State regulators are
considering the revenue deficit of the
previous years during the Annual
Performance Review & trying to bridge the
revenue deficit as far as possible. The
approved average cost of supply for 2019-20
is Rs.7.38 per unit. The provisional actual
average cost of supply in 2018-19 is Rs. 7.07
per unit.

commonly known by the term “Rural Roads”
since they represent the links to the rural
area of the country.
In this road development plan, road length is
defined as here under in terms of certain
fixed and tangible objectives, having due
regard to the popular demands for better
type of roads as suggested here under.
a) The length of the National Highways is
calculated on the basis of the demand
from the various states, subject to the
consideration that the National
Highways may not be very close to each
other, except in area where no other
convenient transport facility exists.
b) The length of the State Highways is
calculated in such a fashion that the
State Highways connect major
Industrial centers, District Places,
Taluk/Tehsil head-quarters, places of
commercial interest, tourist centers,
major agricultural produce markets
and also major growth centers in tribal
areas.
c) All villages in the population group of
1500 and above should be connected
with at least one on Major District
Roads.
d) All villages in the population group of
1000 to 1500 should be connected with
Other District Roads.
As per the Road Development Plan, PWD
initiated State Highways Development
Programme for the improvement and
strengthening of the existing State
Highways based on the following criteria.
a. District HQ to District HQ connectivity.
b. District HQ to Taluk HQ connectivity.
c. Taluk HQ to Taluk HQ connectivity.
d. Connectivity to tourist places, religious
centers and other economic activity
center.

Issues & Challenges and Outcome:
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
(a) Issues & Challenges
r The road network in the State shows
disparity in inter–district connectivity of
National Highways and State Highways.
This disparity in connectivity needs to
be set right based on Dr.Nanjudappa
Report on redressal for Regional
Imbalance.
r Rural Roads - Rural connectivity is a key
component in the overall development of
the state. Rapid development of roads
can have a multiplier effect on the
overall growth of backward regions.
Investment in roads has one of the
largest impacts on poverty alleviation
and increase in total factor productivity.
r About 29% of State Highways and 82%
of Major District Roads carriageway
width are single Lane. To ease the traffic
congestion most of the State Highways
and some of the Major District Roads
needs to be upgraded to two lane
width.(Widening of SHs are being taken
up through KRDCL and KSHIP on Core
Road Network concept)
r The vehicular population in the State
has risen to about 15.85 lakh year-on
year from March-2016 to March 2017.
To accommodate growing population of
vehicles, roads have to be widened on
National Highways and State Highways.
At present, only 19% of National
Highways and State Highways are
having 4 lane carriageway widths.
(b) Innovations
The Planning and Road Asset Management
Centre (PRAMC) is established to strengthen
the planning, programming and other
mandated functions of the Department. The
Planning and Road Asset Management
Centre is responsible for all planning and
programming functions related to road
sector development and maintenance of
Road assets and will prepare the Annual
Works Program in a scientific way. It is
mandated that the Annual works program
shall be followed strictly in the selection of
the roads for development and necessary
Government orders are issued already.
The PRAMC at PWD level will function as
539
'Sector Apex Body' for Road Sector Policy,
Planning and Asset Management matters.
The centre has been provided with latest
State of the Art Equipment's for the road
condition data collection to facilitate the
collection of the road condition Data. The
pavement conditions, asset details and
pavement distress details are collected
using Road condition Data collection
Vehicle (RCDCV). Pavement strength details
are collected using Falling Weight
Deflectometer (FWD). Layer composition
and thickness details are collected using
Ground Penetration radar (GPR).
The data collected are compiled and
analysed in the Karnataka Road Asset
Management System (KRAMS) and the
detailed Annual works program is prepared
for the Core Road Network of the roads
under the jurisdiction of the Department.
The Government has mandated through
Government order, to prepare the work
program and to follow the same for the
development of the roads.
As per the directions of the Supreme Court
committee on Road Safety, Accident prone
locations and Black spot rectification
programme is initiated and PRAMC is
appointed as the nodal agency for the
implementation of the program. The main
aim is to reduce the accidents as enunciated
in “Karnataka Road Safety Policy-2015”.
The Road safety policy aims at the reduction
of road accidents by 25% and fatalities by
30% by the year 2020. A separate head of
account has been created for the road safety
programme from 2017-18. PRAMC has
taken up 110 black spots/corridors
/Accident prone location for rectification in
2019-20 Action Plan.
(c) Outcome
r Under State Highway Development
Programme (SHDP) existing State
Highways which have connectivity
between District Headquarter
to District Headquarter, District
Headquarter to Taluk Headquarter
and Taluk Headquarter to Taluk
Headquarter are being developed in
phased manner.
r Road widening projects taken up by
540
PWD based on the PCU factor
(Passenger Car Unit) has resulted in
adequacy of carriageway width of State
Highways and National Highways to
reduce traffic congestion.

11.2.4 Telecommunication
The telecommunication system in the State
is operated by both private and public sector
undertakings. Apart from BSNL, a number
of private companies like Vodafone,
Reliance, Aircel, Airtel, Bharati, TATA,
MTNL etc. are providing the wireless and
wireline phones. The number and
percentage of wireless and wireline
subscribers in Southern States is presented
in Table 11.31.
cellular operators) in the southern states is
presented in Table 11.32. Karnataka
stands in 3rd position among the southern
states in total teledensity .
Compared to previous year 27 telephone
exchanges have decreased during the year
2018-19 in our state. The number of
landline connections has declined
significantly. The decline in landlines can be
partly attributed due to increased private
participation in the mobile telephony sector
and switchover to mobile phones. The
trends in postal services suggest that there
is a sudden decline in the total number of
post offices for the year 2018-19. This may
be due to merger of post offices in urban
areas. The details of number of post offices,
telephone exchanges and number of
telephones are presented in Table 11.33.

11.3 BANKING AND FINANCE INCLUDING
COOPERATIVES
11.3.1 Introduction:
Karnataka State has a fairly well developed
financial infrastructure. The State has
pioneered in establishment of many leading
commercial banks and is home to a wide
network of commercial bank branches in
the country. The banking business is
predominantly contributed by seven
commercial banks constituting almost
three-fourths of the banking business.
Currently, eighteen public sector banks,
twenty private commercial banks, two
regional rural banks, two small finance
banks and one payment's bank are
operating in the State.
Table 11.34 : Branch network
Disbursement of credit in rural areas takes
place through co-operatives, commercial
banks and regional rural banks.
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development (NABARD), as an apex level
financial institution, plays a lead role in the
promotion of agriculture and rural
development, by preparing Potential Linked
Credit Plans (PLPs) and annual action plans
at the grass root level. A major portion of
NABARD's refinance and developmental
initiatives are channellised through the
banking sector.

The ever growing demand for institutional
finance in the state has resulted in
expansion of banking network and credit
flow. There were 755 bank branches during
the time of Nationalisation of Banks in the
year 1969. Since then 10385 Bank
branches have been added by March 2019
thus taking the total Bank branches to
11140 as shown in the above Table 11.34.
In the last couple of years there has been
special impetus to increase branch
networking in Rural and Semi urban areas
compared to urban and Metro areas.
Increased network is providing better access
of financial services to people in urban and
rural areas.
Out of the total number of 11140 branches
of all the agencies as on 31 March 2019, as
many as 4053 branches ( 36.38%) and 2554
branches (22.92%) are operating in Rural
and Semi-Urban areas respectively.
11.3.2: Deposits and Advances:
The aggregrate deposits of all the
banks(commercial, RRBs and cooperative)
stood at Rs. 894824.56 crore as at the end of
March 2019, an increase of Rs.93898.75
crore compared to last year (March 2018),
registering an growth of 11.72 %cent.

(v) Digitisation of SHGs - EShakti
project
In line with the Prime Minister's vision for a
digital India, NABARD launched a pilot
project, “E-Shakti”. Presently, the project
has progressed into a unique digital
financial inclusion movement covering 100
districts in 22 States and one Union
Territory across the length and breadth of
the country and has already digitized 4.46
lakh SHGs benefitting 49.40 lakh rural poor
at national level (as on 10.12.2019). The
project is in its expansion phase covering
150 new districts in 24 states and this
expansion is expected to on-board over 7
lakh SHGs across the country to the digital
platform and likely to scale up significantly
in the long run.
It is a project under which the social and
financial data of the SHGs and their
members in the selected districts are
digitized. Digitization brings all the SHGs
on to the technology platform and into the
fold of financial inclusion, thereby directly
helping them to access wider range of
financial services. This helps the bankers in
client appraisal and credit dispensation.

Model is introduced under E-Shakti project
in Karnataka where NABARD and the
Implementing agency Bidar DCCB share the
total cost involved in the project in the ratio
80:20.
H. RIDF Assistance to Karnataka
I. Infrastructure Development is a
necessary pre-condition for integrated
rural development and in view of the
limited scope for private investment in

field application and extension activities.
In the Union Budget for 2017-18, Hon'ble
Finance Minister announced setting up
of a dedicated Micro Irrigation Fund (MIF)
in NABARD to achieve the goal, 'per drop
more crop' (PDMC). The Fund will have
an initial corpus of Rs.5000 cr. The corpus
of the Fund shall comprise of borrowings
raised by NABARD from the market.
The loans shall be extended by NABARD to
the State Governments during the
remaining period of 14th Finance
Commission, i.e., during 2018-19 and
2019-20 with allocation of Rs.2000cr and
Rs.3000cr, respectively.
Under PDMC- PMKSY, it is expected that
about 6 million ha will be brought
under micro irrigation during the remaining
period of 14th Finance Commission,
with annual target of about 2 million ha per
year. With the additional investment for
micro irrigation through MIF, for financing
of innovative, composite/ commodity/
community/ cluster based micro irrigation
projects, the coverage may be extended
upto about 10 million ha during the
period. Besides, the Fund will facilitate
States to mobilize resources for their
initiatives, including additional (top up
subsidy) in implementation of PMKSY-
PDMC.
The main objective of the fund shall be to
facilitate the States in mobilizing the
resources for expanding coverage of
Micro Irrigation by taking up special
and innovative projects and also for
incentivizing micro irrigation beyond the
provisions available under PMKSY-PDMC
to encourage farmers to install micro
irrigation systems.

Revolution. Fisheries and Aquaculture
Infrastructure Development Fund entails an
estimated fund size of Rs.7522.48 Crore
comprising of Rs.5266.40 crore to be raised
by the Nodal Loaning Entities (NLEs),
Rs.1316.60 crore beneficiaries' contribution
and Rs.939.48 crore budgetary support
from Government of India . The objectives of
the fund are given below:
r Creation and modernization of capture
& culture fisheries infrastructure
r Creation of Marine Aquaculture
Infrastructure
r Creation and modernization of Inland
Fisheries Infrastructure
r Reduce post-harvest losses and
improve domestic marketing facilities
through infrastructure support.
r To bridge the resource gap and facilitate
completion of ongoing infrastructure
projects.
NABARD is one of the Nodal Loaning
Entities (NLEs) & would fund the public
infrastructure components through the
State Governments/State Entities.
K. Other Development Initiatives
(a) Farmers Producers Organization
(FPOs)
r Collectivization of agricultural produce
through Producer Organizations (POs)
is one of the most effective means of
linking Small and Marginal farmers /
Producers with the agricultural value
chain for the purpose of enhancing their
net income.
r Since 2014 -15, NABARD Karnataka
Regional Office has assisted in
promotion of 263 FPOs covering 30
districts of the State. These FPOs have
been formed through 80 odd NGOs /
Institutions acting as Producer
Organization Promoting Institutions
(POPIs). Around 1,00,000 farmers of the
State are members of FPOs promoted by
NABARD supported POPIs involving
grant assistance of Rs.20 cr. Out of the
243 FPOs, 200 are registered under
various acts thereby mobilizing share
capital of Rs.10.00 cr. Out of the these
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
263 FPOs,10 FPOs had availed SFAC
grant and 50 FPOs were credit linked
availing loan to the extent of Rs. 8.00 cr.
Majority of the FPOs are involved in
production, procurement and
marketing of various agri - horti crops.
Some of the FPOs are also taking up the
activities of promoting High Value
Crops such as chia seeds, tender
coconuts, coffee, udipimattigulla, etc.,
Initiatives of NABARD
r In order to oversee the promotional
efforts and provide policy inputs for
creating appropriate ecosystem for
FPOs to sustain their business
operations, NABARD has constituted a
National Advisory Committee headed by
its Chairman with members from the
concerned Ministries of the Govt. of
India, SFAC, Academic Institutions,
Professional agencies, Agri-Corporates,
leading FPOs, etc.
r Considering the need for a centralized
data base on FPOs, NABARD has
launched a dedicated web based portal
(www.nabfpo.com) and digitized the
data in respect of all its FPOs including
profile of the shareholder members and
uploaded on its website for use by the
stake holders.
r A Performance Measurement Tool has
been developed in consultation with key
stakeholders for the assessment,
grading and monitoring of overall
performance of FPOs. The tool serves as
an aid in designing need based
nurturing interventions for building
robust organization and facilitating
credit linkages.
Suggestions
r Karnataka has 16 registered GI Agri-
Horti crops. These GI tagged products, if
branded properly, would lead to
development of GI clusters thereby
helping the farming community to fetch
higher returns. There is an urgent need
to promote FPOs with GI Crops.
r The State Government may support
FPOs by making provisions for easy
issue of licenses for trading in inputs
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
like seed, fertilizer, farm machinery,
pesticides etc., In this connection,
'Single Window Clearance System' by
the Department of Agriculture /
Horticulture may be made applicable to
FPOs for issue of licenses for trading in
input, production, processing,
distribution of seeds and saplings.
r Apart from these 263 FPOs, there are
SFAC and self-promoted FPOs in
Karnataka. As these FPOs are formed in
the interest of Farmers and most
significantly these FPOs are serving the
Agricultural & Rural Community of
Karnataka State, there is a critical need
to treat all the FPOs uniformly in terms
of the support provided by GoK to the
FPOs. It should be noted that SFAC has
been granting its benefits to all FPOs
irrespective of its origin / promoting
agency. Accordingly, financial support
and Schemes of Karnataka State
Government may be made available to
all FPOs irrespective of their origin and
promoting agency.
(b) Integrated Tribal Development
r NABARD has been implementing
integrated tribal development projects
on wadi (small orchard upto one acre)
basis in various tribal dominated
pockets of the country, for which a
dedicated fund viz. “Tribal Development
Fund” has been created in NABARD in
2003 - 04. The model, evolved out of
successful implementation of tribal
development projects in Gujarat and
Maharashtra with assistance from
Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (KfW),
Development Bank of Germany, under
bilateral cooperation between
Government of Germany and
Government of India, works towards a
long term sustainable impact on the
tribal families focusing on creating
livelihoods rather than mere generation
of short term employment.
r Cumulatively, NABARD has sanctioned
30 projects in 12 districts with a total
financial assistance of Rs.92.38 Crore
in the State so far under this fund.
583
(c) Watershed Development Fund
r In order to mitigate the vagaries of
drought, NABARD has sanctioned 239
Watershed Development Projects of
which 234 are regular Watershed
Development Projects (both completed
and ongoing), 03 are Springshed
Watershed Development Projects and
02 are Integrated Watershed
Management Schemes (IWMS) in the
State involving grant assistance of
Rs.292.73 cr. The programme is
intended for improvement in soil quality
and regeneration of natural resource
over an area of 2.90 lakh hectares
including 1.80 lakh ha. in six
Distressed Districts (Belgaum,
Shimoga, Chickmagalur, Kodagu,
Chitradurga and Hassan). These
projects are implemented through
participatory approach with the full
involvement of the local community.
Under these projects, structures like
trench-cum-bundings, contour
bundings, farm ponds, pebble bunds,
check bunds, check dams, etc. coupled
with forestry and horticulture
plantation, crop demonstration and
livelihood activities for landless
villagers were undertaken. Out of the
239 projects sanctioned, 219 projects
have been completed till date and an
area of approximately 2.25 lakh ha has
been treated through various
measures.
r Some of the major impacts of these
projects are increase in ground water,
increase in agriculture production and
productivity, introduction of new crops,
particularly commercial crops, in
traditionally dryland areas, adoption of
latest agriculture technology by farmers
through Demonstrations and Training
Components, a very positive impact on
livestock population and fodder
availability, livelihood support to
landless and women and increase in
afforestation and horticulture.
r During the current year (2019-20), nine
new regular Watershed Development
Projects have been sanctioned in the
State.
584
(d) Integrated Watershed development
for Rehabilitation of Degraded soils and
Climate Change Adaptation
r The project is designed to addresses
issues of soil and water conservation,
land reclamation, improving soil
productivity and health, enhancing
crop resilience to climate change,
enhancing opportunities for livelihood
and income generation for communities
vulnerable to climate change in treated
watershed thereby ensuring their food
and nutritional security.
r Some of the major outcomes expected
are to increase the productivity, income
of communities living in watershed and
strengthened adaptive capacity of the
communities in watersheds and
reduced vulnerability to climate
change.
r Under climate proofing of completed
watershed projects under NABARD-
KfW Soil Health Project, 30 projects in
12 districts have been sanctioned and
are under implementation in the state
with financial assistance of Rs.14.18
crore.
(e) Sustainable Development Plan (SDP)
in completed watershed projects
r In order to enable the VWCs to function
as vibrant and sustainable field level
institutions for natural resources
management and improving the
livelihoods of watershed community
after the completion of the project, the
above programme has been formulated
by NABARD defining the roles and
responsibilities of the VWCs and their
capacity building, extension,
technology transfer, financial inclusion
needs convergence of institutional
credit, etc., during and in the post
watershed implementation period and
post withdrawal of the PFA from the
project area.
r The programme is being implemented
with NABARD support in 50 completed
watershed projects in the State with
financial support of Rs.4.96 cr.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
(f) Climate Change
r NABARD is the National Implementing
Entity (NIE) for Green Climate Fund
(GCF), National Adoptation Fund for
Climate Change (NAFCC) and
Adoptation Fund of United Nations
Frame work for Climate Change (AF-
UNFCC). NABARD is in close contact
with Environment Management and
Policy Research Institute (EMPRI), the
state nodal agency for implementation
of Karnataka State Action Plan for
Climate Change for sanction of new
projects under National Adoptation
Fund for Climate Change (NAFCC),
Green Climate Fund and Adoptation
Fund.
r One project viz. Conservation and
Management of Indigenous cattle &
sheep in the wake of Climate Change in
Karnataka has been sanctioned by
Ministry of Environment, Forest and
Climate Change under NAFCC with a
total outlay of Rs.24.22 cr against
which Rs.9.44 cr has been released so
far. As an adaptation strategy, the
proposed project aims to conserve and
revitalize indigenous livestock varieties
of the State and breeds that are more
resilient to climate change. The project
aimed at following outputs on
implementation ;
r Increase in the population of
indigenous cattle breeds and hence
increasing milk yield throughout the
year.
r Increase in the population of
indigenous sheep breeds and hence
increasing meat yield which will sustain
the income of small and marginal
farmers.
r Sustainable production of feed and
fodder for farmers and sheep rearers.
r Mainstreaming livestock adaptation
strategies into policies and programmes
through better Knowledge Management
and Sharing.

L. Information Technology in
Cooperative Banks
(a) Cooperative Banks have to take more
initiatives in the states to sustain in the
current banking scenario with a view to
compete with emerging new banks with
latest technology solution. Accordingly
with the assistance and guidance of
NABARD, all the Rural Cooperative
Banks (RCBs) in the state implemented
their Core Banking Solutions by the end
of 2014 and covered all the KCC
accounts (around 20 Lakh) with RuPay
cards. All banks are issuing RuPay
debit cards and also are offering
services like RTGS/NEFT, NACH, DBT,
SMS alerts etc to their customers. All 21
DCCBs and KStCB has accorded
approval for implementation of PFMS
i.e. Public Financial Management
System , 16 DCCBs are live on PFMS
platform which will enable cooperative
Banks to transfer funds to beneficiary
account directly from GoI.
(b) Financial Inclusion Fund has been
revamped in 2019 and a new
differentiated Strategy has been
adopted. The new strategy involves
more thrust on backward districts that
are constrained by various physical,
economic and sociological
characteristics, now termed as the
Special Focus District (SFD), NABARD
under FIF will provide grant assistance
of 90% in SFD for technological
adoption in SFD. There are two districts
identified under SFD in Karataka i.e.
Raichur and Yadgir.
(C) The special thrust is provided to
cooperative Banks for adoption on CBS
plus services i.e CKYC, Micro ATM,
AUA/KUA, PoS/mPoS and BHIM UPI.
These CBS plus services will enable the
cooperative banks to be ready on digital
platform and thus provide better
services to customers. AUA/KUA (Dual
Authentication) has been sanctioned to
KStCB which will enable bank for
Aadhaar enabled transactions.
(d) As all the RCBs are issuing RuPay
cards, and the availability of ATMs in
585
the rural areas is very low, the
cooperatives are encouraged to set up
micro ATMs in the affiliated PACS which
is a cost effective model when compared
to a full-fledged ATMs. Implementing
micro ATMs in PACS would increase the
use of RuPay cards issued, reduce the
transaction costs for the DCCBs and
also help the banks generate
miscellaneous income through
transaction costs of interbank
transaction. The in principle approval
accorded by NABARD for 1500 micro
ATMs devices for PACS may be utilized
at the earliest to enable a true digital
environment in the rural areas of the
state.
(e) PMJDY 2.0 - Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
Yojana:Objective of "Pradhan Mantri
Jan-DhanYojana (PMJDY)" is ensuring
access to various financial services like
availability of basic savings bank
account, access to need based credit,
remittances facility, insurance and
pension to the excluded sections i.e.
weaker sections & low income groups.
This deep penetration at affordable cost
is possible only with effective use of
technology. As on 31.09.2019 , 1.47
Crore Jan-Dhan Accounts are opened in
Karnataka.
(f) Financial Literacy Programmes are
conducted through Commercials banks
and Cooperative Banks in the state of
Karnataka , a total of 4500 Financial
Literacy programmes have been
sanctioned during 2019-20 with a unit
cost of Rs.5000 per programme ( 90%
grant support of Cooperative banks,
80% grant support to RRBs and 60%
grant support to Commercial Banks.
Though various initiatives have been
launched by Government of India, State
Governments, RBI and NABARD to
financially include the poorest in India, the
problem of financial inclusion is not just one
of access, but also of uptake. Given the sheer
numbers of those excluded, it is virtually
impossible for anyone agency to create full
financial inclusion. The solution lies in
achieving greater coordination among all the
stakeholders to include the excluded into
586
the formal financial delivery system.

Co-operative Credit:
The Cooperative credit system in Karnataka
has its own place in the credit delivery of
rural and urban areas. Apart from urban
cooperative banks, the major Primary
Agricultural cooperative society/banks are
operating in rural areas. Unlike in other
states, in Karnataka two type of Cooperative
credit institutions are functioning, one is
looking after short term and medium term
credit and another looking after credit needs
of long term.
a. Short Term and medium term Credit

 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
12.1 EDUCATION
There is a tremendous advancement in the
field of knowledge, anew. The impressive
development of education is termed as
education explosion. But unfortunately the
quantitative change has not been
accompanied by conceptual and qualitative
changes of comparable scale and depth,
appropriate to the new situations,
requirements and needs (UNESCO, 1998).
Thus changes in the field of education have
become indispensable for the better.
Education should nurture the all-round
development of an individual's personality,
and thus make them an active member of
knowledge society and a productive citizen
of the country.
Education is having both intrinsic and
instrumental value and provides useful
services for the development of nation and
enrichment of an individual's life. The
positive externalities of Education make it a
public good, and therefore it needs to be
supplied by the State as markets cannot
provide it to the socially optimal levels. The
human development paradigm recognises
the role of education in the expansion of
choices for wellbeing, security and comfort.
Therefore, the right to education is
recognized as one of the fundamental
human rights and the drive towards
universal elementary education aims at
ensuring its delivery.

CHAPTER 12
Karnataka, the fast growing economy's
growth is based on the knowledge base of
the society. The State has embarked on
significant reforms in the education sector
with increased public investment to ensure
access, equity and quality in education, with
community involvement. Hence there are
significant developments in all fields of
education.
12.1.1 Literacy in Karnataka
A review of growth of literacy during the
2001–2011 decade shows that Karnataka
has achieved significant progress. The
literacy rate in the State during 2001 was
66.64 per cent, which increased to 75.36 per
cent in 2011 (Table 12.1)
Karnataka's overall literacy rate, male and
female literacy rates are above the national
average. Urban male literacy rate in the
State has crossed 90 per cent. However,
rural female literacy rate in the State is yet to
cross 60 per cent. The literacy rank of the
State was 9th among 16 major States (States
with a population of more than 100 lakh)
during 2001 and the same position is
maintained in 2011. The overall increase in
literacy rate in the State during this decade
is 9 per cent. Districts like Kalburgi
(undivided), Bengaluru Rural, Bagalkot,
Raichur, Kolar, Chamarajanagar,
Vijayapura and Bidar with a lower literacy
rate in 2001 have crossed the State average
literacy rate in 2011. This is attributed to

Department of Education with a focus on
backward districts/regions of the State. The
SSA and RMSA initiatives resulted in good
schooling facilities, attractive incentive
schemes to improve learning, quality
assurance measures and increased
awareness among the community.
12.1.2 Status of School Education
In the state general education system is
divided into different levels such as pre-
primary level, primary level, upper primary,
secondary education, under graduate and
post-graduate education.
School education in Karnataka is imparted
through Lower Primary Schools (LPS, class I
to V), Higher Primary Schools (HPS, class I to
VII / VIII) and High Schools (VIII to X). These
schools fall under three categories based on
type of management, namely (i) Government
schools managed by the Departments of
Education, Social Welfare and local self-
governments (ii) Government aided schools
and (iii) Private unaided schools. There are
also few 'other' schools consisting of mixed
Lower Primary, 38003 Higher Primary
and 16808 High Schools in the State
(Table 12.2).
In the total number of schools, the
percentage of Government education
department's schools is as high as 85.42
percent in lower primary schools and 59.24
percent in higher primary schools. However,
Education Department's participation is low
in secondary education as only 28.12
percent of the high schools are managed by
Government. Government schools are
mainly located in rural areas, where as
private schools are largely urban based.
Elementary Education
Article 21 A of the Constitution of India and
the Right of Children to Free and
Compulsory Elementary Education (RTE)
Act 2009 became operative in April 2010.
The State Rules under the RTE Act were
notified in 2011. These developments have
thrown open fresh opportunities for quality
schooling for children.

e) Out of School Children (OOSC)-
Strategies for:
As per RTE Act 2009, it is mandatory to
provide free and universal education to all
children aged between 6 and 14 years. In
this context, the updated census was taken
from SATS and 10448 children between the
age of 7 years and 14 years were identified as
school dropout children. And also 850
children of previous year were prevented
from school dropout. Among the total 11298
children identified till December end, Out of
this MHRD has approved plan for 11298
children. 4196 children (till December end)
are brought into mainstream through
various following programmes.
The number of never enrolled children is
quite low as compared to Dropout children.
It showed a decreasing trend over the years.
The children in the age group of 6+ below 7
years are enrolled directly during the special
enrollment drive (Table12.7).
Steps to ensure continuation of
mainstreamed children in regular schools
r School dropout period of children out of
school is considered to be 7 days instead
of 60 days.

fundamental facilities as shown below in
Table 12.8, 12.9 and Figure 12.1, 12.2. As
shown below, significant achievement is
observed in providing toilet to girl students.
There is a large difference in the data of
2018-19 and 2019-20 is due to during

With significant gains in primary education,
the State has set in motion the planning
process for universalization of secondary
education to achieve the target of 85%
enrolment in 14-18 age groups in classes 9
to 12. The State is also committed to

schools of which 4726 schools are run by
the DoE, 300 SW and LB schools, 3788 by
aided managements, 7265 by private
unaided managements and 729 by others.
The concentration of the secondary schools
in the private unaided sector may be one of
the reasons for the low access of children
from marginalized groups to higher
education 34.62 percent of girls are enrolled
in Govt. schools, and 65.38 percent of them
study in aided / unaided / other schools.
According to the available data, in the state,

Ministry of Human Resource
Development, GOI has introduced the
new scheme of National Skills
Qualification Frame work (NSQF) to be
implemented under Rashtriya
Madhyamika Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA)
as per the guidelines. The main
objective of this programme is to
introduce vocational courses along with
the regular courses and thus enable the
students to gain skills and
competencies essential to get employed.
This is a continuing programme
implemented in 10 different levels
starting from classes 9th to12th and
thereafter up to graduation, post-
graduation and Ph.D levels.
MHRD GOI has approved to introduce
NSQF Scheme in 250 Govt. Composite
Schools, out of this the State
Government decided to implement in
100 schools from 9th standard during
2014-15, 2015-16 the scheme
implemented in 9th & 10th std and
during 2018-19 the scheme
implemented in 9th, 10th and 11th
(PUC Ist Year) under IT / ITEs,
Automobile, Health Care, Retail, Beauty
& Wellness sectors. PAB approved 50
more schools to the existing 100 schools

d) Student Achievement Tracking
System - “Shikshana Kirana”
“Shikshana Kirana”, the Students
Achievement Tracking System that tracks
every child enrolled in school, by unique
identity and name, regularity, academic
performance, promotions, transfers,
identify drop outs etc., has captured student
specific data of about 1 crore students
studying in all schools of the state. The
system is designed for online monitoring of
the performance of students, teachers and
school managements.
This system could already digitize the
records of more than one crore students,
four lakhs teachers and seventy nine
thousand one hundred and twenty seven
schools in the whole state including private
aided and unaided schools. .
Adhar information linked with student
details is under process, Online verification
of Caste and Income certificate. Automation

12.1.5 Pre-University Education:
Establishment of the Department of Pre
University Education:
In order to administer the +2 stage of
education, the 'Karnataka Pre University
Education Board' was established in 1971.
The Board was abolished in 1988 and it was
converted into the 'Directorate of Pre-
university Education' in 1992. All colleges
imparting PU education in the State come
under the purview of the Directorate. The
Directorate looks after the administration,
examination and academic matters of the
PU stage.
Since the government formed a separate
609
department to manage Pre -University
Education and created a separate cadre of
lecturers and principals to staff the
government PU colleges, PU stage is being
treated as a separate stage as well as a
separate sub sector of education in
Karnataka. However, for budgetary
purposes, PU education gets its funds from
Secondary Education budget-head.
Pre University Education is considered as a
preparatory stage for university courses.
The course offers two languages and four
electives, which are to be selected from a
wide range of subjects (34 + NSQF subjects).
These electives are further classified under
three different streams: Arts, Science and
Commerce.
Pre-University education is an important
milestone between school education and
higher education. A separate Pre-University
education department has been established
in the state to plan, design and implement
the entire Pre-University education
programme. The Government participation
is immense in pre-university education
(Table 12.16). It is observed that the
number of girl students admitted in
Government Pre-University Colleges is more
than that of private aided and unaided
colleges. This indicates the need for
expansion of these colleges in future to
promote girls' education.
Financial assistance is provided under
NABARD-RIDF and Special Development
Plan to meet the infrastructure require-
ments of the PU Colleges. Orientation
programmes are organized by the
department for lecturers with a view to
upgrade their knowledge and improve the
results. Emphasis is placed on those
districts where the pass percentage is low.
Henceforth, as per National Policy, pre-
university stage of education will be a part of
secondary education. It will not be tailored
to University needs and it will not be pre-
university stage but senior secondary stage.
a) Enrolements:
The year 2007-08 has been significant with
regard to enrolments in the pre-university
stage (Table 12.17). There is a direct
relation between percentage of passes at X
610 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20

standard public examination (SSLC) and
demand for pre-university education.
Results at X standard were between 50% to
60 % till 2007. X standard results has
improved significantly since 2007 onwards
and is currently around 75% to 80%.
Still, it is observed that there is an attrition
of around 11.50% between I and II years of
pre-university education. This attrition has
implications for expenditure levels across
two years. Career guidance and counseling
programmes , if conducted immediately
after the announcement of the X standard
examination results, may help in reduction
of dropouts.
The Education Commission of 1966 had
suggested an enrolment limit of 30% to 35%
for Arts courses. However, even by 2008-09,
nearly 50% of enrolments are in Arts
courses (Table 12.18). Relative proportions
at II PUC stage do not change substantially.
The low enrolments in science courses are a
cause for concern. There is a rush for
professional courses from science stream.
This is not the case with respect to Arts and
Commerce Courses. Low proportion of
science enrolments and the attraction of
professional courses lead to low enrolments
in graduate science courses. Graduate
science courses serve as nurseries for
preparation and supply of science teachers
for secondary schools, as well as for creation
of pool of scientists in the country after post-
graduate and research courses. Both school
science education and scientific pursuits
suffer because of this trend. Initiatives by
the Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore) to
attract science talent for integrated 5-years,
post-graduate courses after the pre-
university stage by offering a variety of
incentives need to be emulated and
expanded.
b) Completion Rates:
Pass percentage at pre-university is about
66.58% in science courses (Table 12.19).
This will normally be around 25% to 50% of
previous year's enrolments. It is also seen
that girls fare better than boys in II PUC
examination. Girls who reach II PUC are
from among those who are left out after
being subjected to higher degree of
screening at various levels. This is not the
case of boys. It is also noted that English
medium results are always better than
Kannada medium results.
c) Trainings and Programmes:
r Training : Capacity building training
programmes was conducted in 20
different subjects for improving quality
of 2nd PUC results across the state of
Karnataka. More than 15761 lectures
of Government and Aided PU colleges
utilised the training programme.

12.1.6 Collegiate Education
The Department of Collegiate Education was
set up in the year 1960, and has since been
striving to make quality higher education
affordable and accessible to all sections of
students. The Department of Collegiate
Education oversees the administration of
430 Government First Grade Colleges and
319 Private aided colleges affiliated to 19
State Government universities, through its
6 regional offices located at Bengaluru,
Mysuru, Mangaluru, Shivamogga, Dharwad
and Kalburgi.
a) Institutions:
The average strength in government and
aided degree colleges is 765 and 585
respectively (Table 12.20). The details of
spread of government sector degree colleges
are given in Table 12.21.
b) Enrolments:
Analysis and discussion in this section is
confined to Government and private-aided
colleges.
Enrolments for degree courses are not
increasing year by year (Tables 12.22 and
12.23). In fact, negative growth has been
observed in case of boys during 2010-11.
The male-female ratio which was in favour of
girls during 2010-11. 2010-11 to 2019-20
the ratio was in favour of girls. This is not a
case of improvement in gender parity.
Enrolment in Science courses is very poor as
613
a proportion of total enrolments in general
higher education. This is a carry-over
concern of pre-university enrolments.
Improving the proportion of enrolments in
Science courses along with general
increases is a significant challenge. There
has been a significant increase in the funds
released to the Department of Collegiate
Education by the Government. Total budget
under plan and non-plan increased from Rs.
429.50 crore in 2012-13 to Rs. 2494.59
crore in 2019-20. The major share in the
plan budget was for the additional
infrastructure and facilities required for
colleges.
The SC /ST students enrolment in degree
colleges is given in Table 12.24.
r New courses/combinations:
Permission has been given to start new
Under Graduation degree courses/
combinations in 20 Government First
Grade Colleges and Post Graduation
Courses/combinations in 07
Government First Grade Colleges.
r Development of science courses: In
regard to develop science courses, total
amount of Rs. 500.00 Lakhs grants is
released to the 223 Government First
Grade Colleges in which Degree and
Post Graduation Degree Science
subjects are taught, for purchasing
required Laboratory Equipments,
Chemicals/Consumables, Text-Books
and Furnitures.
r Free Education to Girls: To encourage
large of number of women getting
education in post-graduation, an
exemption from payment of full fees will
be provided to all girl students taking
admission in Government Degree and
Post-Graduation courses, in relation
with declared about Rs.2400.00 lakhs
was released to students of 376
Government First Grade Colleges and
PG courses in 2019-20.
r Dharwad Higher Education Academy:
According to the Govt order, Higher
Education Academy at Dharwad has
been established to give induction
training to lecturers. In 2019-20
Training will be conducted to 433 newly
appointed Assistant Professors during
2017-18.

main method of family planning the spacing
between the births of two children is also
equally emphasized.

2. National Tuberculosis Control
Programme:
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by
bacteria called as Mycobacterium
Tuberculosis. TB spreads through droplet
infection. India is the country with the
highest burden of TB. The World Health
Organisation (WHO) TB statistics give an
estimated incidence figure of 2.79 million
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
cases of TB for India during 2018 as per the
global TB report 2019. India makes
tuberculosis a notifiable disease as an
estimated two million new cases of
tuberculosis (TB) is annually diagnosed.
Tuberculosis is still a major public health
problem. Every day more than 900 people
die of TB (1 person per 2 min die due to TB in
our country). High mortality especially
among socio-economically productive age
group causes huge economic losses to the
society and country.
The Tuberculosis (TB) burden in India is
staggering. About 40% of the adult
population of the country is estimated to be
infected with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
Every year nearly 2.2 million new TB cases
occur of which nearly 0.8 million are
infectious (Smear positive pulmonary). Once
infected an individual has on average a 10%
life-time risk of developing TB Disease.
India has more people with active TB disease
than any other country in the world
accounting for 27% of the global TB Burden.
Also an estimated 2.34 million individuals in
India are now living with HIV/AIDS. With
HIV infection to active disease the potential
impact of the HIV epidemic on TB control in
India is large.
Tuberculosis in Karnataka:
Revised National Tuberculosis Control
Program was implemented in the State from
1998 and the entire State was covered in
2004.More than 80000 TB patients put on
treatment annually in Karnataka TB control
program.
The Joint Director TB is responsible for
planning training supervising and
monitoring of the program as per the
guidelines of the State Health Society and
central TB division. At the district level the
District TB Officer is responsible for
implementing the TB control program. He is
also responsible for involvement of other
sectors in RNTCP. At the sub district level
the Tuberculosis Unit (TU) is the nodal point
for TB control activities. The TU consists of
designated medical officer- Tuberculosis
control who does RNTCP work in addition to
other responsibilities. There are two full
time RNTCP contractual supervisory staff
639
exclusively for tuberculosis work – a Senior
TB treatment supervisor (STS) and a Senior
TB laboratory supervisor (STLS).Apart from
this the program supports the districts by
providing contractual medical officers to
medical colleges laboratory technicians TB
health visitors in urban areas statistical
assistants for DR-TB centres District
Program Coordinators PPM coordinators
DR-TB centre counselors senior DOTS Plus
TB HIV supervisors and accountants.
Currently 1007 contractual employees are
working for TB control across the state.
State TB cell under “Karnataka State Health
and Family Welfare Society – TB control
Programme” and 31 districts TB centres
under “District Health Society – TB control
programme” have been established to
supervise and monitor the implementation
of this programme effectively.
For administrative feasibility State is
divided into 31 District TB Centers (DTC). 31
DTCs are divided into 265TB Units (TU) one
for every 2.5 lakh population. Selected
Primary Health Centers have been up-
graded as Designated Microscopic Centers
(DMC) including 56 medical colleges and
facilities in private sector. There are a total of
1343 DMCs providing sputum microscopy
services across the state.
RNTCP Karnataka is aiming at Universal
Access and Zero TB deaths as a part of End
TB Strategy. The death and default in the
State is addressed aggressively. The total
lost to follow up rate which was 10% in 2009
is reduced to 5 % in 2016 and death rates
have decreased from 8% in 2009 to 6% in
2018 despite high HIV – TB burden. The
success rates of TB treatment have
improved from 80% in 2008 to 85% in 2016
TB Notification and Nikshay
Registration:
Tuberculosis is a notifiable disease. All
providers must notify TB patients including
public and private providers through
“NIKSHAY” which is a case based wed based
application for TB patient's registration.
This software was launched in May 2012
and it is disseminated to all districts. There
is a significant response from private
providers. Around 27337 health facilities
640
have been registered on NIKSHAY till date
and out of which 2022 health facilities are
notifying TB cases. A total of 17258 TB cases
have been notified from private sector so far
from January 2019 to November 2019.
Pediatric TB:
Pediatric tuberculosis (i.e. TB among the
population aged less than 14 years) has
always been accorded high priority by
Revised National Tuberculosis Control
Programme (RNTCP). In our state screening
of TB among SAM children is of high priority.
To overcome the delay and to augment the
diagnosis of pediatric TB 64 gene Xpert
machines are placed at district level. There
are exclusive pediatric drugs with different
weight bands which helps in successful
outcomes.
DR-TB (Drug Resistant TB):
Programmatic management of drug
resistant TB aims at diagnosis treatment
and follow-up of patients with drug resistant
TB. For the diagnosis of DRTB two dedicated
mycobacteriology laboratories are
established one is Intermediate Reference
laboratory at Bangalore and other is CDST
laboratory at KIMS Hubli. Both the
laboratories are certified by government of
India (CTD) to perform both genotypic and
phenotypic tests. The third one is being
established at RIMS Raichur. The diagnosis
treatment and follow up of the patient is
done free of cost. The cost of treating MDR
patients is 2-6 lakh rupees which is
provided free to the patients. Currently more
than 25000 patient samples are tested for
MDR-TB and 2000 MDR patients are getting
free treatment. The Xpert MTB/RIF is a
cartridge-based automated diagnostic test
that can identify Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (MTB) DNA and resistance to
rifampicin (RIF) by nucleic acid
amplification technique (NAAT). The state
has 65 gene Xpert machines which are
placed at the district level and at places
where there is high HIV-TB burden thereby
ensuring early quality diagnosis and
management happens to these patients.
TB-HIV collaborative activities. – The RNTCP
programme closely collaborates with AIDS
control programme at state and district level
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
for early diagnosis follow up and treatment
of HIV infected TB patients.
The TB HIV collaborative services
include:
1. PITC (provider initiated testing and
counseling) for presumptive TB
patients.
2. Offering HIV testing for the all TB
patients.
3. Providing CB NAAT testing for all the
presumptive TB and presumptive MDR
TB cases for all the symptomatic HIV
infected patients.
4. Linking all HIV infected TB patients to
ART centres.
5. Providing ART to all HIV infected TB
patients irrespective of their CD4
counts.
6. Providing daily FDC to all co-infected
patients
7. Providing Co-trimaxozole preventive
therapy (CPT) to all HIV infected TB
patients.
CBNAAT (Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid
Amplification Test):
The Xpert MTB/RIF is a cartridge-based
automated diagnostic test that can identify
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) DNA
and resistance to rifampicin (RIF) by nucleic
acid amplification technique (NAAT).
Results are obtained from unprocessed
sputum samples in 90 minutes with
minimal biohazard and very little technical
training required. The state has 65 gene
Xpert machines which are placed at the
district level and at places where there is
high HIV-TB burden thereby ensuring early
quality diagnosis and management happens
to these patients.
The TB control program in Karnataka
recognizes the need of targeting special
populations. TB control program in
Karnataka has identified special
populations and has planned target
interventions. The target interventions
include active surveillance in these
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
populations' and utilizing genotypic
methods for the diagnosis TB and resistant
TB.
Active TB Case Finding (ACF):
Active TB Case Finding (ACF) is basically a
provider – initiated activity with the primary
objective of detecting TB cases early by
active case finding is targeted groups and to
initiate treatment promptly. It can target
people who anyway have sought health care
with or without symptoms or signs of TB and
also people who do not seek care. Increased
coverage can be achieved by focusing on
clinically socially and occupationally
vulnerable population so that to enhance
their life style. In the year 2019 a total of
2.11 crore people was screened which
yielded 4586 additional TB cases.
The following innovations stand out in
programme strengthening in Karnataka
state they are:
1. Joint TB HIV visits to districts involving
officials from KSAPS and State TB
Centre for monitoring TB HIV
collaborative activities.
2. Provider initiated TB suspects testing
for HIV.
3. Designing of formats for reporting HIV
TB collaborative activities.
4. Micro planning (TU wise analysis) for
identifying low performing TUs and
planning focused interventions.
5. Guiding tool for ACSM activities.
6. Social media activities-Whats App
group (RNTCP family) and Facebook
(Tuberculosis control in Karnataka)
accounts for State TB Centre.
7. Involvement of field general health staff
for pulmonary TB suspect referral.
8. Incentives for ASHAs for sputum
sample transportation in difficult to
reach areas in some districts.
9. Utilization of ophthalmic camps
organized by NGO (Muslim forum) for
creating TB awareness.
10. Focused DTOs review.
641
11. Drugs stock exercises done in all
districts.
12. Involving 104 services for TB care.
13. Using ICT technology (99 DOTS) to
monitor adherence of TB treatment in
co-infected patients who are on daily
DOT.
14. Patient charter and patient forums.
15. Nutritional support through NGO's in
certain districts.
16. Enrolling MDR TB patients in Jan Dhan
and PMSBY.
The Standards for Tuberculosis Care in
India (STCI) is developed published and
disseminated by the Central TB Division
(CTD) Government of India in 2014. These
standards apply to all health care providers
in the country both public and private and
establish a common yardstick for TB
management. The Standards for TB Care is
widely disseminated in the state through the
medical college professional bodies and
through NGOs and partner organizations.
The current strategy of TB Control is as
envisaged in the sustainable development
goals (SDG) and it is called “The END TB
STRATEGY.”
The END TB STRATEGY has a Vision:
“Tuberculosis free India–achieving
universal access by provision of quality
diagnosis and treatment for all Tuberculosis
patients in the community”.
Goal:
To decrease the morbidity and mortality by
early diagnosis and early treatment of all
Tuberculosis cases there by cutting the
chain of transmission.
Objectives: “Universal Access to TB Care”

3. National Leprosy Eradication
Programme:
Introduction:
National Leprosy Control Programme was
started in 1955. Tremendous achievement
was made in the Programme with regard to
accessibility and service delivery with the
successful implementation of the
Programme. The prevalence rate of leprosy
dropped from 40/10000 population in the
year 1986 to 0.31/10000 population in
November 2019- Karnataka.
The main objectives under NLEP are:
1. Elimination of leprosy i.e prevalence of
less than 1 case per 10000 population
in all the Districts of the State.
Medical Rehabilitation of persons
affected by leprosy.
3. Reduction in the level of stigma
associated with leprosy.
At present 06 districts have prevalence rate
0.50 to 1 (Bidar, Gadag, Uttara Kannada,
Chamarajangar and Koppal) i.e 10000
population. As on Nov 2019 there are 2119
Leprosy cases on hand.
Activities under NLEP:
1. Case Detection and Management:
r Special Activity Plan (SAP): Activity is
being done in Districts having blocks
with ANCDR (Annual New case
detection Rate) more than 10 cases per
1 lakh population as well as in Districts
having very Low endemicity. These 49
taluks include both high endemic and
non endemic blocks.

It was a unique and highly commendable
initiative which was carried out in
Karnataka as per guidelines of Central
Leprosy Division (CLD). Previously Anti
Leprosy fortnight was carried out depicting
pictures of leprosy cases in full blown
disease status. This year an approach
showing solidarity and statement of Sparsh
and oneness with leprosy patients was
depicted. The entire Panchayath Raj
institution functionaries were involved and
the problem/issue of leprosy which initially
was looked after by health functionaries was
shared among the local population who are
the real stake holders. Awareness of the
disease and how to approach the health
system was widely propagated.

and Family Welfare Department under a
Private Public Partnership through an MOU
signed with GVK EMRI.
The Role and Mission of '108' is to save lives
by providing a comprehensive 'Emergency
Response Service' to those in Medical Police
or Fire emergencies through a single
integrated number - 108. We operate 24 x 7
and 365 days of the year with a fleet of 711
well equipped ambulances. The ambulances
are manned by a trained Emergency Medical
Technician (EMT) and a trained driver
(Pilot). This service is available across the
length and breadth of Karnataka i.e. all the
30 Districts.
The Ambulances are stationed strategically
in all Districts and taluks across Karnataka
so they can reach the incident location
within the shortest possible time anywhere
in the state. The services are operated
through a centralized Emergency Response
Center located at Bangalore. At present
there is one ambulance for every 85000
populations with a total of 711 Ambulances
throughout the state.
This service can be utilized by any individual
who requires emergency help (Medical
Police or Fire) irrespective of his economic
status caste creed color ethnicity gender
and/or literacy levels. The process of calling
for an ambulance is simplified to such an
extent that a call to the toll-free number
'108' with details of emergency the number
of people involved and the incident location
supported with a landmark; would trigger
an ambulance dispatch. This is an
absolutely FREE SERVICE starting from the
phone call till the point of reaching the
hospital.
The medical emergencies can be availed for
Accident and Trauma (Vehicular and non
vehicular) complaints related to Cardiac

5. BIKE AMBULANCES : (FIRST
RESPONSE UNIT):
The Bike Ambulances/ First Response unit
th
(FRU) is inaugurated on 15 of April 2015 by
Government of Karnataka. It is the
“Platinum Ten Minutes” trauma care
initiative aimed at reducing deaths due to
road accidents. It is an unique initiative and
is the first of its kind to be taken up by the
State Government in our Country. The first
aid and medical care during the “Platinum
Ten Minutes” is paramount to save the life of
an accident victim hence the pioneering
attempt to start motorbike ambulance
service.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
The motorbike ambulance service is another
pilot and pioneering initiative to ensure first
aid to the victims during the Golden Hour
They are useful for negotiating the small
streets and heavy traffic in the large urban
areas where it would be difficult to move
ambulances through crowds. The fleet of
high-powered touring motorcycles are
available when required to respond to
various trauma/medical incidents. The Bike
ambulances will be currently deployed in
Bangalore (19 Nos) Mangalore (2 Nos) and
one each to the corporation areas of Mysore
Kalburgi Belagavi Hubli-Dharwad
Davanagere Tumkur Vijayapura Shimoga
and Kolar Districts where heavy traffic
congestion and narrow streets would be
easily overcome by the agile nature of the
bikes. The programme will be implemented
through GVK-EMRI who are already
experience in providing such services
through Arogya Kavacha-108. Riders are
paramedics or EMTs who are recruited and
trained on managing emergencies.
Motorbike ambulance drivers would be fully
trained in rendering first aid and would start
resuscitation measures to save the victim.
Two-wheelers by virtue of their size could
manoeuvre through narrow and busy roads
and reach accident spots with ease while
they would be followed by a fully equipped
four-wheel ambulance for shifting the victim
to a nearest hospital for further treatment if
necessary.
Bike ambulance is able to respond to a
medical emergency much faster than an
ambulance or a car in heavy traffic which
can increase survival rates for patients
suffering cardiac arrest/ accident/ other
emergencies.
From April 2019 to Nov 2019 31641
emergencies are attended by the bike
ambulances
6. AROGYA VANI-104:

In line with the policy goals of the
“Karnataka Integrated Public Health Policy
2017” which envisages merging all social
health insurance schemes into a single
health assurance plan to improve efficiency
and outreach and to achieve the goal of
Universal, Equitable and Sustainable
healthcare as envisaged in the Vision
document-2025; all the existing schemes
were merged and “Arogya Karnataka” a
Universal Health care Scheme was launched
on 2/3/2018, wherein cashless treatment

Government of India has come out with its
own scheme called Ayushman Bharat -
National Health Protection Mission, on

Jan ArogyaYojana (PMJAY), to provide
health protection to over 10 Crore poor
families identified based on the latest Socio-
Economic Caste Census (SECC) data, (50
crore beneficiaries). Since both Arogya
Karnataka and Ayushman Bharat have the
same goal, scope and similar modalities for
providing specified treatments to the poor
and vulnerable sections of society,
integrating both the schemes was
imperative for smooth implementation
especially at the field level. A single
integrated scheme under a co-branded
name as “Ayushman Bharat-Arogya
Karnataka” is now being implemented in an
Assurance Mode.
A MoU has been signed with National Health
Agency, Government of India in order to

rolled out to all other districts based on
the experience of piloting.
2. Integrated Management of Neonatal &
Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI):
IMNCI is an approach where the field level
workers (ANMs &Anganwadi workers) are
trained to identify common diseases of early
child hood (Pneumonia, Diarrhoea, Measles,
Ear Infections, Malaria, Malnutrition,
Anemia) and its management or prompt,
timely referral.Staff nurses and medical
officers also trained at F-IMNCI to enhance
their capacity in managing the neonatal and
child hood illness and also to stabilize the
cases prior referral.
3. Home Based Newborn Care (HBNC):
ASHAs visit the neonates at least 6 times in
the first 42 days after delivery. 41222 ASHAs
are trained to identify common neonatal
illnesses & educate the mothers regarding
Breast feeding & care of new born. In case of
SNCU graduates and low birth weight
babies, additional visits at 3rd 6th 9th &
12th month at the incentive of Rs. 50/- per
each visit is carried out by ASHA. They are
provided with a kit containing essential
equipment & drugs to car for the newborn.
Knowledge of ASHAs is being reinforced
through the SATCOM facility where the
State Officials directly interacted with
ASHAs and cleared their doubts. Similarly
Medical Officers and Staff Nurses of PHCs
were also oriented regarding RMNCH+A
strategies through SATCOM.

4. Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakrama
(JSSK):
Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakrama
(JSSK) was introduced in early 2012 to
reduce the out of pocket expenditure of the
parents towards the treatment of sick
newborn. An amount of Rs. 200/- for Drugs
and Consumables Rs. 100/- for diagnostics
and Rs.300/- for Referral Transport was
allocated per sick newborn as an indicative
unit of calculation. The required amount
may be spent with justification. In the year
2013-14 the facility was extended for any
sick child below one year of age.
5. Child Death Review (CDR):
Child and infant Death Review have been
implemented in all Districts of Karnataka.
State and District level Child Death Review
committees have been formed and are
meeting regularly. All reports being sent are
being reviewed validated and feedback given
to districts. Through all these efforts the
State has reduced the Under 5 Mortality to
29 per 1000 live births and Infant Mortality
Rate to 25 per 1000 live births as per SRS
2017. State level Reorientation and review of
CDR was conducted for district &
Taluk administrators for successful
implementation of CDR and thereby take
necessary actions to fill the gaps to reduce
the Child deaths.
6. National Newborn Week:
Newborn week is being celebrated in
Karnataka since 2016. This is a programme
launched by Government of India to
highlight care of newborns and to
emphasize the importance of improving
newborn care. It is celebrated every year in
the second week of November. Multiple

Introduction:
National Urban Health Mission (NUHM)
aims to improve the health status of the
urban poor particularly the slum dwellers
and other disadvantaged sections by
facilitating equitable access to quality
health care through a revamped public
health system partnerships and with the
active involvement of the urban local bodies.
The main focus of the NUHM will be urban
poor population living in listed and unlisted
slums all other vulnerable populations such
as homeless rag-pickers street children
rickshaw pullers construction brick lime
kiln workers commercial sex workers and
others.
NUHM will cover all the District
headquarters and other cities/towns with a
population of 50000 and above (as per
census 2011) in a phased manner. Cities
and towns with population below 50000 will
be covered under NRHM.
As per 2011 census 236.25 lakh people
reside in urban areas and the urban slum
population is 38.61 lakhs in Karnataka
state. The challenge is that the state has
38.67% of population living in urban areas
as against the National Average of 31.57%.
Under NUHM the emphasis will be to
improve existing public health delivery
system with a thrust on making available
adequate health human resources
upgrading the existing health facilities in
terms of infrastructure and equipment and
also establishing new health facilities
wherever necessary by providing specialist
care as well as strengthening emergency
response systems. This will enable the
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Health and Family Welfare Department or
City Municipalities/Corporations to
effectively provide adequate primary health
care to the urban poor focus on promotive
preventive and curative aspects of both
communicable and non-communicable
diseases domestic violence on women and
strengthen trauma care and emergency
care to the urban poor.
The strategy will comprise of strengthening
the existing primary health care centers
establishing new primary health care
centers wherever appropriately needed.
Further special outreach camps will be
conducted by ANMs and ASHAs to ensure
health care delivery at the door-step.
Community participation will be facilitated
by the MahilaArogyaSamithis (MAS) which
will act as a bridge between the
communities and the nearest health facility.
The ASHAs will play the role of provider of
first contact care and also generate
community awareness with regard to
various health issues sanitation and
nutrition.
It is generally felt that there is non-
availability of reliable data on health status
of people living in urban areas. A
comprehensive baseline survey and
mapping is being undertaken to gain insight
into the dynamics of health needs of existing
listed and unlisted slum pockets urban poor
concentration areas and other vulnerable
population. This will help in assessing their
health seeking behavior health indicators
such as morbidity and mortality patterns
ongoing health needs and existing
provisions for health care and out of pocket
expenses etc.
An amount of Rs 5081.05 Lakhs is provided
during 2013-14 of which State share is
Rs 1270.00 Lakhs and Central share is
3811.00 Lakhs. Sanction has been

12.2.6 HMIS &RCH in Karnataka:
HMIS (Health Management Information
System):
HMIS is an initiative undertaken under the
National Health Mission (NHM) launched by
Government of India.
To collect the information uniformly timely
from all the states Government of India has
prescribed HMIS formats throughout the
country. The System of collecting
information uploading online at the primary
level & to get various reports by compiling
the information for effective implementation
of Health Schemes is Health Management
Information System.
In Karnataka uploading of Information on
HMIS portal from facility level is existing
since Aug 2010 by which it is easier to get
timely information. As there is provision of
various reports at all levels it is possible to
make use of these reports for various
schemes & their implementation.
In Karnataka after the implementation of
HMIS 98% of the information is collected
online as data is being uploaded before 5th
of every month & more emphasis is given to
improve the quality of the data.
District Level Action Plans / PIP formulation
and monitoring the progress through Star
rating of facilities using HR Infrastructure
data equipment availability and service
utilization are being done based on HMIS
data.
RCH PORTAL:
RCH (Reproductive and Child Health) portal
is a centralized web based application for
early identification and tracking of the
individual beneficiary throughout the
reproductive lifecycle. Application facilitates
to ensure timely delivery of full component of
antenatal postnatal & delivery services and
tracking of children for complete
immunization services. RCH portal has been
designed to meet the requirements of the
RMNCH program by incorporating
additional functionality and features of the
MCTS.

Weekly Iron & Folic Acid
Supplementation Program (WIFS) :
Introduction:
Adolescents are the most vulnerable group
among the children for Iron deficiency
anaemia. During adolescence age,
especially for girls, Iron deficiency anaemia
results into growth deficiencies. During
adolescence, iron deficiency anaemia can
result in impaired physical growth, poor
cognitive development, reduced physical
fitness and work performance and lower
concentration on daily tasks. Iron deficiency
in adolescent girls influences the entire life
cycle.
Annual Target Achievement %

Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
In order to develop evidence based
intervention for prevention and control of
adolescent anaemia in India, various
studies were commissioned. Findings
across these studies reveal that weekly
supplementation of 100mg Iron and 500μg
Folic acid is effective in decreasing
prevalence of anaemia. As adolescent
anaemia is a critical public health problem
in the country, the Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare, Government of India, based
on the empirical evidence generated by
these scientific studies, has developed
Operational Framework for Weekly Iron and
Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) of
adolescent.
Objective:
To reduce the prevalence and severity of
nutritional anaemia in children's.
Target (Beneficiaries):
Students studying in 1st to 5th standard and
th th
6 to 10 standard for all Government and
Government Aided School Children.
Strategies:
r Weekly once IFA tablets (WIFS) :
l Each IFA – Pink tablet contains 45
mg of Iron with 400 mcg Folic Acid, it
is given to children of 5 to 10 years
age group weekly once for 52 weeks.
l Each IFA – Blue tablet contains 60
mg of Iron with 500 mcg Folic Acid, it
is given to children of 11 to 19 years

“SHUCHI” Yojane:
The Adolescent Reproductive & Sexual
Health (ARSH) and the Adolescent
Education Programme (AEP) are core
components National Health Programmes
that address Adolescent Health Girls. Both
these programmes include a range of
intervention for adolescent girls who are in
schools and out of schools.
In our State, menstruation and menstrual
practices are clouded by taboos and socio-
cultural restrictions for women as well as
adolescent girls. Limited access to the
products for sanitary hygiene and lack of
sanitary facilities could prove to be barriers
to resorting to un-hygienic practices to
manage menstruation. Some of the
practices like use of old cloths as pads by
recycling them which offers no protection
and endangering menstrual hygiene with
long term implications for reproductive
health.
Good menstrual hygiene is essential for
health & dignity of girls and women.
Discussions on menstrual hygiene are
important for adolescent girls to clarify
existing myths and misconceptions around
menstruation. Improving menstrual
hygiene is important from the point of view
of personal comfort and increased mobility.
It also reduces the likelihood of infections
resulting from poor hygienic practices
during menstrual hygiene. Providing girls
with knowledge and skills on maintaining
menstrual hygiene improves school
attendance among the girls who may not
attend the schools on those days are even
dropout of school altogether.

Promoting menstrual hygiene can be
achieved through:
1. Provision of health education to girls on
menstruation and menstrual hygiene.
2. Promoting the availability & use of
sanitary products.
3. Enabling safe disposal of sanitary
napkins.
4. Increasing community action to
improve access to clean toilets with
water both in home and in schools.
During the year 2019-20, total of 17,06,933
beneficiaries have been identified and
28,05,639 units of Sanitary Napkin Pads
were distributed upto November-2019.

12.2.8 Universal Immunization:
The universal immunization programme
was started to achieve 100 % immunization
and to reduce the mortality and morbidity
among infants and young children due to
vaccine such as BCG Hepatitis B '0' OPV

vaccination is increasing. Table 12.64
presents information on the achievement of
different vaccinations in the State. The full
immunization rate is 98.49% currently till
November 2019. Rotavirus vaccine
introduced in our State on August 2019.
12.2.9 Causes of Death:
For the effective control of maternal and
infant mortality, it is important to
understand the causes of such mortality.
Table 12.65 and 12.66 provides the
information on top five causes of mortality
for infants and maternal deaths in the age
group 15-49 respectively. The major causes
of infant deaths are due to prematurity or
low birth weight. Pneumonia, Heart Disease
and birth asphyxia also account for a major

proportion of deaths. Among females in the
age group of 15-49, Hypertensive disorders
in pregnancy (Includes eclampsia, pre-
eclampsia, hypertension) and Hemorrhage
are the leading causes of death- it may be
attributed to rise in diagnosis and reporting
of new cases.
12.2.10 Mental Helath:
One of the strategies to address the
treatment gap and to facilitate training of all
health staff starting from PHC level, for early
identification and treatment of mentally ill,
is District Mental Health Programme

Innovations under Mental Health:
An e-initiative for Monitoring District
Mental Health Program in Karnataka:
Information system the 'sense organs' of the
Health systems are the 'eyes and ears' which
help track the objectives and goals of the
program. Recognizing the need for good
quality data which is regular, a web based
Mental Health Program Management
Information System (MHP-MIS) has been
initiated across the 31 DMHPs in Karnataka
since December 2016 and has been fully
functional with effect from April 2017. The
software captures summary statistics of
patient care from each of the health facility
in the public sector. A total of 5 different
modules have been designed and these
include (i) patient care module, (ii) Training
and events, (iii) Budget and expenditure (iv)
Human resources (v) Other data. The
formats and reports conform to the existing
reporting system of NMHP. Along with a
dashboard, at each level, validation by
approval / reject process has been built-in.
The dash board provides the Program
Officer to monitor activities on a day to day
basis both at the District and State level. The
modular approach helps scale up the
software to the National level. The next
phase of the software development is aimed
at designing mobile application for entering
patient care data.
Assisted Home Care Services (AHC):
Generally, about 30 – 50% of Severe
Mentally ill patients seeking care, drop out
after registering under DMHP. A variety of
reasons are responsible for the same: some
are due to financial constraints, distance
related factors, inadequate awareness about
the illness, duration of treatment, long term
prognosis etc.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
It is critical that patients with severe mental
illnesses do not miss treatment and take the
treatment for the longer period of time;
Studies have shown that the functioning,
disability levels and symptoms improve
consistently if treatment adherence is
maintained. Ii is piloted in 3 districts since
January 2018, the DMHP nurse and social
worker visit persons with severe mental
disorders (schizophrenia and bipolar
disorders) who have dropped / missed out of
regular DMHP services at their homes,
enquire about the reasons for the dropouts,
provide psychosocial services, supply
medications (injectable psychotropics) and
try and ensure regular follow-up. Till date,
many registered cases have been brought
back under the AHCs treatment umbrella.
The program will be expanded to the other
districts after incorporating the learning.
Tele-mentoring: Adopting the technology,
Tele-On Consultation Training (OCT) is
being offered to PHC medical officers. The
PHC medical officers, while seeing their
general patient pool, are offered guidance
and training to identify and treat psychiatric
disorders. Under the first phase, 92 doctors
have been trained in Mandya district. These
empowered doctors in turn have catered to
more than 15,000 patients in the past year.
This activity is being co-ordinated by the
Primary Care Psychiatry unit @ NIMHANS.
In addition, V-CSD (video based Continued
Skill Development program) is also in place.
theMentoring program involves nurses,
clinical psychologists and psychiatric social
workers of Karnataka DMHP. Each of these
teams are being hand held through regular
and periodic video-conferencing facility with
co-ordination of the departments of Clinical
Psychology, Psychiatric Social Work and
Nursing dept of NIMHANS for this program.

12.3 HUMAN AND GENDER
DEVELOPMENT
12.3.1 Introduction
Human development approach
concentrates on improving the lives of
people lead rather than assuming that
economic growth will lead, automatically, to
greater opportunities for all. UNDP states
that human development approach focuses
on people, their opportunities and choices.
Hence human development emphasizes
mainly on health, education, and standard
of living. Economic growth does not
necessarily correlate with the progress in
Human Development (HD). Hence, the core
objectives of any planning and policy
processes, at present revolve around
enhancing the human capabilities and
creating opportunities for people to exercise
their choice to live long, healthy and creative
life.
The efforts to quantify the qualitative results
of human development processes has taken
the forms of many such HD-Indices as
Human Development Index (HDI),
Inequality Adjusted Human Development
Index (IAHDI), Gender Development
Index(GDI), Gender Inequality Index (GII),
Multi-dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) etc.
The HDI is a measure of broader concept of
development. In HDI, economic welfare is
given higher importance than economic
growth. It emphasizes that the individual's
capabilities must be the ultimate criteria for
assessing the development of the country.

HDI three major indicators and the way they
are measured by UNDP for the Year 2014 are
given in Figure 12.13.
UNDP released 2019 Human Development
Report; India ranks 129 out of 189 countries
in the latest HD rankings. India's HDI value
for 2018 is 0.647, which have put the
country in the medium human development
category. It may be noted that India's HDI
value increased nearly 50 percent between
1990 and 2018, in absolute terms HDI value
increased from 0.427 in 1990 to 0.647 in
2018.
12.3.2 Human Development Index among
major States in India
Karnataka's performance in human
development has been improving over the
years in terms of HDI value, despite the
slightly hovering ranking position varying
between 6th to 8th over the period from
1981 to 2012. Formation of new States
could be one of the reasons for the change of
ranking position. Among major southern
States, Karnataka is marginally better than
Andhra Pradesh (before the formation of
Telangana State). However, Karnataka is
way behind Kerala (Rank 1) and Tamil Nadu
(Rank 5). Table 12.84 gives the information
of Human Development Index among major
States in India from 1981 to 2012 in terms of
value and rank of the respective states.

development through various policy district human development goals and

initiatives consequent upon the preparation
of human development reports at various
levels over the years. The first Karnataka
State Human Development Report (KSHDR)
was published in 1999 which helped the
State to realize the existence of sharp socio-
economic disparities between districts. The
second KSHDR brought out in 2005
provided a comprehensive analysis of
outcomes especially for vulnerable sections
and also examined the efficacy of service
delivery mechanisms.
During the period of 1990-2001, the issue of
prevailing regional disparities and the need
to address the same through focused
interventions became paramount, leading to
the constitution of High Power Committee
for Redressal of Regional Imbalances

(HPCFRRI) under the Chairmanship of
renowned economist, Dr. D. M.
Nanjudappa.
In order to know the status of human
development indicators at the taluk level, an
exercise for the preparation of District
Human Development Reports (DHDRs) for
the districts of Kalaburagi (then Gulbarga),
Mysuru (then Mysore), Udupi and
Vijayapura (then Bijapur) with the
assistance of UNDP was made from 2005 to
2008. The reports were released in 2010. It
is a matter of pride that the reports of Udupi
and Vijayapura districts were nationally
recognized. The first ever India Human
Development Award – Manava Vikas– was
awarded to the DHDR of Udupi district for
'focus on innovation in measurement' and
the DHDR of Vijayapura reached to the
finals.
For the first time in the country, Grama
Panchayat human development
index(GPHDI) was also computed for all the
5898 grama panchayats, in the state and
presented through a report title “Huamn
development:Performance of Grama
Panchayats in Karnataka 2015”.
The third Karnataka State Human
Development Report, 2015 brought out in
2019, which provides a comprehensive
analysis “Accelerating Equitable Human
Development”.
1. Preparation of DHDRs, 2014 for all the
districts and the HD-Snapshot, 2014
Encouraged by the preparation of four
DHDRs in 2010, Government of Karnataka
decided to prepare District Human
Development Reports (DHDRs) for all the
thirty districts in the State simultaneously –
an exercise for the first time in the country.
A comprehensive “Guidelines Document for
the Preparation of DHDRs, 2014” was also
prepared to facilitate the nodal agencies and
others to produce quality reports. All the
DHDRs-2014, prepared by respective Zilla
Panchayats, has been released by the ZPs in
their district headquarters.
Based on all the 30 DHDRs, a compendium
titled, “Human Development: Performance
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
of Districts, Taluks and Urban Local Bodies
in Karnataka, 2014 – A Snapshot”, has also
been brought out with a slighter modified
methodology. This snapshot document
captures the essence of all the 30 DHDRs,
2014. All the reports are available on the
websites of the respective ZPs.
Table 12.85 presents the relative
performance of all the 30 districts of all the
four administrative divisions on various HD-
Indices.
Urban Development Index (UDI – for Urban
Local Bodies) is done for all the 30 districts,
176 taluks and 219 Urban Local Bodies
(ULBs) in the State, depicting their relative
performance in the relevant HD-Index. As a
case study, each DHDR also computes the
Composite Dalit Development Index (CDDI)
for a selected Grama Panchayat (GP) having
more than 50 Households of Scheduled
Castes in that GP. In addition, four district-
specific Small Area / Micro Studies have
also been conducted and the results are
presented in each of the respective DHDRs.

Human Development Index is estimated at
district level for all the thirty districts in
Karnataka State using the goal posts as that

12.3.5 Engendering Human control of females even over their own

Development in Karnataka
Human Development sans gender
sensitivity is certainly the paralysed state of
development; for the loss of potential of
those not having got involved in the
development process would be grossly
ignored. The term 'gender' refers to the
women / females, the men / males and the
trans-genders / third-genders. Hence, the
development opportunities should be
equally spread across all the three. However,
the development process has all through
witnessed the predominance of male
participation thus conveniently discounting
the women's contribution and completely
ignoring the trans-genders' issues. While
the gender discrimination has all along been
a global symptom, the developing nations
including India are said to be witnessing the
high prevalence of such a discrimination
against the women though India, the great
civilization, has also always been known for
its glorious culture of worshipping the
women.
Various socio-political and socio-cultural
factors prevailing at times – some inevitable
and some deliberate – have contributed to
the less unwritten but widely and deeply
practiced male-domination and female-
subordination dictum of the societies the
world over, resulting into little freedom and
course of lives, let alone over others', that
has led to the developmental chasm of
inequalities between men and women.
This section makes an attempt to document
the gender development scenario in
Karnataka through such equality /
inequality terms as – women compared with
men on different dimensions, Gender
Inequality Index, the Trans-gender
segment, etc.
(A) Gender-wise Population
It is a good sign that Karnataka is inching
close towards the ideal state of equal
numbers and ratio with not much
significant Female Deprivation /
Disadvantage Factor (FDF), in terms of
gender-wise population. Tables from 12.87
to 12.89 clearly exemplify this trend,
though the State is little behind when
compared to other major southern states,
with the number of missing women in the
State being considerably high and sex ratio
being relatively low. Further, it can be noted
that the sex ratio in urban Karnataka is
lower than in the rural Karnataka, though
the trend is slowly changing. Karnataka sex
ratio is better when compared to India but
worse when compared to southern states
this indicates there is a gender disparity in
the state.

(B) Sex Ratio and Child Sex Ratio
With reference to child sex ratio, though
there is a slight improvement over the last
decade, the concern is that State has a long
way to go in attaining the fair gender
equality (Tables 12.90 and 12.91). The
State is relatively better when compared to
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, but worse
when compared to Kerala. Hence, necessary
steps must be taken to arrest this negative
trend. Moreover, much against the general
belief that elite and educated urban people
are indifferent to the male child preference,
the State's rural-urban child sex ratio
figures and the trend present such a picture
to give sufficient scope to hypothesize the
existence of strong male preference and
female negligence attitude among the urban
people.
12.3.6 Gender and Health
Life Expectancy (LE)
Life Expectancy is one of the key indicators
of health. On biological terms, women are
usually expected to have a greater LE than
men. The same is demonstrated in case of
both Karnataka and India (Table 12.92).
The LE for both men and women has been
increasing over the years, which is a good
sign of improved health conditions.
Further, normally the difference between
the LE-Female and LE-Male is expected to
be widened favoring the LE of females. The
situation in the State of Kerala is normally
considered to be an ideal one which has an
LE-Female-Male-Gap of 5.3 years during
2013-17 (Male:72.5 and Female:77.8).
Such a state has almost been achieved in
the case of Karnataka with LE-Female-
Male-Gap being 3.1 years during 2013-17.

12.3.7. Gender and Literacy & Education
(A) Literacy
The gender disparity with respect to literacy
in the State has been gradually decreasing
over the decades reflecting a healthy sign
(Table 12.93). However, the still prevailing
difference of 16.46% and the female
deprivation / disadvantage factor of -0.25
are the matters of concern.
B) Educational Attainment
The gender-wise educational attainment,
according to the All India Survey on Higher
Education 2018-19, shows that the female
deprivation / disadvantage factor across all
the levels of education is a matter of genuine
concern at both India and Karnataka Levels
(Table 12.94). Though Karnataka fares
little better in comparison with Andhra
Pradesh, Kerala and Telangana, it is way
behind when compared to Tamil Nadu.
12.3.8. Gender and Employment
Employment is an effective means of
economic empowerment and gender
equality. Against gender parity in
employment for Karnataka, Tables from
12.95 to 12.98 present a mixed trend of
both gradual but very slow movement
towards gender equality and also prevailing
glaring female deprivation /

disadvantageous situation. This trend is
visible more glaringly even in the high profile
employment categories of judges and
bureaucrats. Concerted efforts should,
therefore, be effectively carried out to ensure
the removal of gender discrimination at all
levels.
12.3.9. Gender and Decision Making
There is a general belief that women should
not encouraged to participate even in the
household decision making. However, much
against such belief, the National Family
Health Surveys (NFHS) data reveals that
there has been a significant increase in the
participation rate of women in the
household decisions. It has increased to
80.4 per cent among currently married
women in 2015-16 (NFHS-4) as compared to
68.6 per cent of then married women
affirming it in 2005-06 (NFHS-3).
The currently rural married women (78%)
are relatively way behind the currently
urban married women (83.5%) with respect
to participation rate in household decision
making, which is a matter of concern. Table
12.99 gives the picture of participation by
currently married women in the house hold
decisions.
12.3.10. Gender and Political
Representation
Gender Parity in political sphere ensures the
adoption and effective implementation of
policies and programs to achieve gender
equality in all the spheres. The performance
of the State is impressive in respect of
women's representation in Panchayat Raj
Institutions (PRIs), which has crossed the
mandatory half-way (50%) mark in all the
three tiers of PRIs (Table 12.100).

12.3.12 The Third Gender Community
The Third Gender People or commonly
referred to as the Trans-gender People are
the most neglected section of the society
across India. Even their exact number is also
not properly estimated. Census, 2011 has
attempted to capture their number across
States, the number of Trans-gender within
the age group of six years (Children), and
transgender belonging to SC and ST
community. Trans-genders' number and
Literacy Status is provided in the Table
12.103. The Karnataka Government has
released the "Karnataka State
Transgenders-Policy 2017" in December
2017 to provide transgender people with
issues such as fear, shame, gender
discrimination and social discrimination
and provide infrastructure, health,
education, housing and livelihood in
partnership with various department. The
transgender cell has been set up at State,
District and Taluka level for the effective
implementation of the Policy. However, still
more concrete and concerted efforts are
needed to ensure their development.
12.3.13 Conclusion
The status of human development in
Karnataka is witnessing an improving trend
over the years. However, the disparities
across different dimensions certainly need
to be taken care.
The engendering scenario in Karnataka is
also a mixed bag with impressive
performance in some areas but having
relatively gloomy performance in most of the
areas which need immediate attention.
The issues of the third gender people are
also of genuine concern and hence should
be given utmost attention to ensure their
development.

13.2 WELFARE PROGRAMMES FOR
SCHEDULED CASTES
In its endeavor towards ensuring “faster,
sustainable and more inclusive growth”, the
Government of Karnataka has committed
itself to improving capabilities and
productive endowments among the
economically disadvantaged and socially
marginalized sections of the State. In this
direction, the welfare departments and
development corporations of the State are
implementing several multi-faceted and
multi-pronged programs for welfare of SCs,
STs, BCs and Minorities and thereby placing
them on the path of mainstream
development. A brief account of progress of
the schemes implemented by the Social
Welfare Departments and Development
Corporations during the last three years for
the benefit of the weaker sections of the
society is summarized in this section. The
SC population which was 0.86 crores during
2001 census has been increased to 1.05
crores in 2011 census. Similarly The ST
population which was 0.35 crores during
2001 census has been increased to 0.42
crores in 2011 census. District wise
population of SC/ST as per the census 2001
and 2011 is given in Table 13.26.
As SCs continue to be deprived of adequate
access to education, health care facilities,
housing, sanitation, productive assets like
land, etc., the Department of Social Welfare
and the Development Corporations are
implementing various schemes for their
socio-economic uplift.
Department of Social Welfare
As education is considered to be an engine of
inclusive growth, improvement of
educational status among the SC
community has been effected through
implementing several schemes like
providing admission to meritorious
students in prestigious schools, pre- matric
and post-matric scholarships, prize money
to meritorious students, hostel facilities,
grants-in-aid for hostels, running special
schools, etc. The progress of schemes
implemented during the last three years to
encourage the students of SCs for
continuing their education from school level
to higher education level is indicated below.

Best practices and success stories:
The Corporation has adopted RTGS
payments system to the beneficiary account
directly in all the schemes in order to avoid
delay and misuse of scheme funds.
The Corporation has taken initiative to
launch its own website wherein the public
can avail information about the benefits
given by the Corporation without
intervention of the middlemen and
instructions given to all district offices to
maintain transparency during the
implementation of the schemes. Thus
importance is given for online system in
transparent selection and implementation
of the schemes.
Identifying gaps and constraints:
In all the years the Corporation has not
evaluated the outcome of the schemes.
Hence the end result is not known to the
Corporation. Now the Corporation has
assigned the work of evaluation of
beneficiaries who have been covered under
all the schemes of the Corporation to
Karnataka Evaluation Authority and the
evaluation report has been submitted by the
Authority on which, the Government has
taken several steps to improve the methods
of implementation of the schemes.
The corporation is facing staff shortage and
the available staff will be given professional
training to adapt to the new system and to
implement effectively and timely.
Specifying challenges and the future
outlook:
All the schemes implementing by the
Corporation are funded through the
budgetary support by Government of
Karnataka. The fund allocated by the
Government is not adequate compare to the
SC population in the state. The Corporation
on an average giving benefits to 40000 to
50000 SCs per annum. There is a huge gap
when compared to the population. The
Corporation is receiving large number of
applications and selection process is a
difficult task which results in criticism and
opposition from the general public.
Corporation is expecting more funds from
the Government to cover major chunk of
population which is uncovered.
737
Spandana, an issue based tracking system
software has been installed in the office of
the managing director of ADCL to track the
day to day letters received by the public the
status of which is send to them through SMS
messages. Also a software has been
developed to track the progress and
energisation details of irrigation borewells &
pump sets drilled under Gangakalyana
Scheme.
Social Welfare department has introduced a
mobile app 'KALYANA' to track development
schemes of the Department and its Boards
and Corporations. A 'SAHAYAVANI'
(Kalyana Kendra) was also started to redress
the grievances of the public. The control
room contact number is 080-22634300.
ADCL has introduced online fund tranfer
system to speed up the release of funds to
the beneficiaries.

 BALANCED REGIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
14.1 SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Karnataka has always demonstrated
vibrant potential for growth. Despite the
natural resource constraints and
unfavorable conditions, the State could
maintain above average performance in
basic development indicators. It is placed at
the median level on most of the development
indicators. During the last five decades, the
State has made efforts to achieve rapid
growth through investments in agriculture,
industry, infrastructure and other sectors.
With the sharp North-South divide existing
in the State, the regional gap emerged in the
State on the eve of the reorganization of
States in 1956. The new areas that joined
the State from Hyderabad State and
Bombay State were relatively less developed
than the Old Mysore State. This area formed
the Northern part of the State. In the
absence of focused efforts in the past, the
development gap increased over a period of
time leading to marginalization and
exclusion of the region and its people from
the mainstream development process.
Efforts have been made over a period of time
to reduce the un developmental gap.
However, there has been a growing
realization that investment and focus on the
area especially on initiatives to improve the
human development indicators must be
further accelerated.

Redressal of Regional Imbalances (2000-
2002)
For preparing a comprehensive report to
eliminate regional imbalances in the state,
CHAPTER 14
Dr. D. M. Nanjundappa who was worked in
State Planning Board was appointed wide
Government Order No. PD 637 PM 97, Date:
3rd October 2000 as a Chairman of the High
Powered Committee for Redressal of
Regional Imbalance (HPCRRI).
The committee conducted a study and
presented the Interim Report to the
Government on 26th March 2001, and
submitted the final report on 25th June
2002.
On the basis of 35 socio-economic
indicators, assessed the level of
development of 175 taluks in the state.
These indicators were spread over various
sectors such as agriculture, industry,
economic infrastructure, social
infrastructure, and financial and technical
infrastructure. Taking the State average of
development in these indicators as the
benchmark (equal to 1), the Committee
estimated Comprehensive Composite
Development Index (CCDI) with appropriate
weights and identified 114 taluks as
backward taluks. These taluks were further
classified into most backward, more
backward and backward based on the value
of CCDI. Taluks with CCDI of 0.53 - 0.79
were classified as most backward, those
with CCDI of 0.80 - 0.89 as more backward
and, taluks with CCDI of 0.90 – 0.99 as
backward. The distribution of the taluks in
these various groups in the State is given in
Table 14.1.
Table 14.1 indicates the extent of regional
imbalances existing in the State which was
identified by the Dr. D.M Nanjundappa
Committee. Out of the 39 most backward
taluks in the State, 26 taluks are in North
Karnataka and 13 taluks are in South
Karnataka, 21 in Kalburgi Division and out
of the total 61 relatively developed taluks, 40
are in South Karnataka. The Committee has

An Eight-year Special Development Plan
(SDP) has been recommended for
implementation by investing Rs. 31.00 crore
which includes Rs. 15.00 crore from Normal
Plan and Rs. 16.00 crore as additionally. In
2014-15 Eight-years is completed, Further
2015-16 to 2019-20 to resolve the Regional
Imbalance with providing of Rs.3,000 crore
of budget, it has been taken the decision in
Belagavi Assembly on 15-07-2015. The
Committee has also stated that the amount
allocated every year should be escalated by a
factor to include rise in prices. The
recommendations prescribe a participatory
approach involving the people, voluntary
organizations and Self Help Groups and
adoption of a Decentralized planning
approach to promote development and find
long-term solutions to the problems of
regional development.
14.1.3 Review of Recent Efforts towards
Promoting Balanced Regional
Development
The State Governments has initiated
programme for development of backward
783
regions. The Special Development Plan
(SDP) is a major recommendation of the Dr.
D.M. Nanjundappa Committee. The
Committee has estimated the required
resource flow in the 114 backward taluks to
bring them at par with other taluks in the
State, and all relevant departments have
been allocated grants according to the CDI
A) Objectives
The objectives of the Special Development
Plan are
r To give a thrust to the development
programmes in the 114 backward
taluks to move towards a more balanced
development in the State as a whole.
r To accelerate growth in the backward
taluks through the stimulus of
additional investment in various
sectors and areas.
r To build infrastructure to make good
the identified sector backlog in
backward taluks.
r To establish the needed institutions/
organizations to redress the imbalances
in the concerned sectors in backward
taluks.
r To provide location-specific sectoral
schemes in backward taluks in order to
raise the level of services in these
sectors to the level of State average.
B) Allocations under Special
Development Plan
The Committee has estimated the financial
resources required to promote development
in various sectors, The focus of the SDP is on
irrigation, rural development and social
services. Sectors like energy and agriculture
are also allotted additional financial
assistance for development. The committee
recommendation in allocation for
education, health and other social services
is Rs. 8025 crore, for irrigation is Rs. 8000
crore and for rural development Rs. 7100
crore. This allocation considers the rural
character and agrarian conditions of most of
the taluks among the 114 backward taluks.
The allocations in SDP across the divisions
were based on the Cumulative Deprivation
Index (CDI). This is estimated on the basis of
the distance of the CCDI Value from the
784 Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20

State average (CDI=1-CCDI). The allocations 14.1.4 Implementation of Special

within the division and among the districts
and taluks are again based on the respective
CDI values. an the total additional
investment of Rs. 16000 Crore, the share of
Kalaburagi division is maximum i.e. Rs.
6400 crore and the share of North
Karnataka is 60 % of the total allocation.
This is because the extent of development
deprivation is more in Kalaburagi Division
i.e. 8.06 (8.06/20.26 =40%) which is just
equal to the total deprivation of entire South
Karnataka. The Government started
implementation of Special Development
Plan from 2007-08. Budget provision was
made from 2007-08 every year for
implementation of these recommendations
in the backward taluks by various
departments.

v. Infrastructure Development
One of the prime objectives of SDP is to fill
up the gaps in infrastructure in the
backward taluks and fasten the
development process in these taluks. Under
energy sector, the focus is on provision of
electricity to villages, hamlets and tandas.
Schemes of Rural Load Management System
(RLMS) are being implemented. The Minor
airports at Bidar, Kalburgi, Vijayapura,
Belagavi and Hubballi are provided with
additional funds for completion. The
Committee had identified 90 taluks (61 in
north Karnataka and 29 in south
Karnataka) out of 175 taluks which have
road length less than the State average.
Under the Special Development plan, rural
roads, NABARD-assisted roads and suvarna
rasthe vikasa yojane and also many road
development schemes were undertaken.
The Programmes are implemented by Public
Works Department for Development of Road
works the allocation during the year 2019-
20 is Rs.302.67 crores.
Under KSAFE project, for construction of 29
fire stations and 38 officers/ staff Quarters
in 2019-20 Rs.1.40 Crores has been
earmarked to Home Department. Under
road transport sector, assistance is given to
four divisions for construction of new depos,
up gradation of existing bus stands,
provision of toilet facilities, asphalting
within bus stands and construction of
waiting rooms etc. in 2019-20 Rs.147.27
crore has been earmarked to Transport
Department. Rs.35.51 crore has been
provided for the cost sharing of railway
schemes under the infrastructure scheme
from Infrastructure Development
Department. Rs.355.03 crore is allocated for
rural drinking water supply, Rs.270.88
crore is allocated for Namma Grama Namma
Rasthe, during 2019-20 to Rural
Development & Panchayat Raj Department.
vi. Irrigation
Assistance is provided for development of
major irrigation in backward taluks. The Dr.
D.M. Nanjundappa Committee had
recommended development of irrigation as a
major strategy for increasing agricultural
production and productivity in backward
787
taluks. Assistance is provided under the
programmes of Karnataka Neeravari
Nigama Limited (KNNL) and Additional
funds are being provided for early
completion of major irrigation schemes to
KNNL. Works such as promotion and
modernization of tanks, rejuvenation of
tanks, lift irrigation and construction of
barrages are taken up in most backward
and more backward taluks. Expenditure for
irrigation is around 20.1% of total SDP
expenditure during the 11th Five Year Plan.
Assistance is given to complete the existing
schemes soon so that benefits reach the
farmers in time. This may thus help to
expand the irrigation facilities and increase
agricultural productivity and output.
Allocation to major irrigation is Rs.651.15
crore during 2019-20.
vii. Tourism
Innovative works have been proposed and
are in the process of implementation in
tourism sector which is emerging as a high
growth area in the service sector. Tourist
infrastructure at various places in
backward taluks has been taken up for
development. An amount of Rs. 432.40 crore
has been spent so far as against the
earmarked outlay of Rs. 537.58 crore.
Approach roads to tourist places have also
been constructed at various tourist places
such as in Badami taluk Pattadakallu, in
Uttara Kannaada district Siddapura taluk
Idagunji Baligar and Sathodi Falls, in
Saudatti taluk Renuka Yellamma temple, in
Belur Chennakeshava Temple, hill station
in Kemmangundi, in Srirangapatna taluk
Ganjam Sri Nimishamba temple, Kokkare
Bellur Bird Sanctuary, in Chinthamani
taluk Kaiwara Temple.
Additional Resource Transfer to Most
Backward Taluks
The allocations under SDP have helped the
backward taluks in different categories to
get additional resources to accelerate the
development process. A comparison of
distribution of allocation among three
categories viz., most backward, more
backward and backward taluks is presented
in Table 14.4. It is observed that the share
of most backward taluks in total allocations

14.2 AREA DEVELOPMENT BOARDS
Malnad Area Development Board, came
into existence by the Malnad Area
Development Act 1991. The main objective
of the board is specifically to achieve overall
development of the Malnad Area. The area
under the jurisdiction of the board extends
over 13 districts of Malnad Area along the
Western Ghats in 61 Taluks extending over
65 Assembly Constituencies.
Achievement:
The Board covers the aspect of development
of the Malnad region which is a very vast
area of operation. Many Government
schemes are implemented by various
agencies in the area of development. The
board depending upon the grants available
and determines the specific requirements
that needs to be made to fill gaps or those
that cannot be funded in regular plans.
Since inception of the board upto to 2019-20
(upto November-2019), the board has
incurred an expenditure of Rs.67198.33
lakh completing 20243 works.
Initiatives taken up in 2019-20:
The Board has taken up many initiatives
including the formation of concrete roads in
the areas inhabited by the weaker sections,
providing of safe drinking water in rural
areas, construction of foot bridges and
hanging bridges as well as formation of
roads.
During the year 2019-20 New works
proposal are included in Action Plan
approved by Govt., Presently Spillover
works are under implementation.
Best practices and success stories
Some of the success stories are related
to the supply of play articles to the
Anganawadi children in most backward
taluks as identified in the report of
Dr. D. M. Nanjundappa which was named
“Chinnara Loka” programme. For the all
round development of a child, along with the
academics, even physical activities are given
importance. Facilities provided for sports
would play a major role towards physical
development of the child, which attracts the
789
children to come to Anganawadi. This
considerably reduces the number of
children who stays away from the school.
This formed the main objective of “Chinnara
Loka” in the Anganawadi. It was
implemented in the taluks of Channagiri,
H.D.Kote, Chamarajanagar and Joida.
Another success story is the construction of
17 hanging bridges incurring a cost of about
Rs.1063.37 lakh. This facilitates the
children and public to cross the streams in
the rainy season to have direct access to
school and other facilities, which otherwise
would be circuitous or inaccessible caused
due to streams.
Another success story is the involvement
of Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural
Development Project ®, in the
developmental programs. They have been
involved in many different programs,
notable as the programme of providing safe
drinking water in which the board
contributes Rs.5.00 lakhs and they
contribute an equal amount. Similarly they
have executed the solid waste disposal
system in Kadaba and Ujire villages. The
solid waste was getting into the river system
during the rainy season affecting the
drinking water supply during the summer
which is the lean season.

expenditure incurred since inception of
the Board.

Bayaluseeme Area Development Board,
Chitradurga
Bayaluseeme Area Development Board was
established under Bayaluseeme Area
Development Board Act 1994. Bayaluseeme
(Maidan Area) comprises 57 Taluks of the
State which have been recognized as
drought prone taluks, and pose special
problems of development. This Board was
established to hasten the phase of
development of this area for bringing it to the
level of other parts of the State. There are 70
assembly constituencies spread over 14
districts.

under-mines the investment, which is not
optimally beneficial to the local area. The
domination of the sectoral planning process
has limited the potential scope for
participation by people's elected
representatives and the user community.
There have been occasions where some
important works have not been undertaken,
as they are not covered by any existing plan
or non-plan scheme.
In order to accommodate local aspirations
and needs better, and to ensure responsive
planning and delivery of services, the
Government has taken up schemes for asset
creation, infrastructure development and
employment generation for the benefit of the
poor and weaker sections, whose planning
and execution can be done at the
Legislator's Constituency Level.
The KLLADS follows a participatory demand
responsive development approach to
address infrastructure development
requirements of the local area within a
Legislator's Constituency. It also provides
flexibility in taking up works which are
otherwise not covered by other government
programmes. Table 14.14 shows the
amount released under KLLADs since
inspection.

Article 371(J), binds the State and Central
Governments to put forth all out efforts for
development of the Kalyana (Hyderabad)-
Karnataka region besides ensuring the
same by way of providing reservation in the
Education and Public Employment sectors.
A Cabinet Sub-Committee was constituted
to advise the State Government for effective

To address the issue of backwardness in the
State, Government has been implementing
a Special Development programme (SDP)
since 2007-08. 40% of budget of SDP is
earmarked for Kalyana(Hyderabad)-
Karnataka region. Besides,
Kalyana (Hyderabad) Karnataka Development
Board was also engaged in the development
of this region till it was repealed on
22/02/2014. In pursuance to the Article
371(J) Kalyana(Hyderabad) Karnataka
Region Development Board was formed on
06/11/2013. It was constituted with 28
members on the 23rd January 2014.
HKRDB has earmarked 70% of budget for
bridging infrastructure gaps and 30% for
institutional gaps. Administrative charges
continued to be 4% of institutional gap
allocation. During 2018-19 an amount of
Rs. 1000.00 Cr. Was earmarked &
accordingly entire amount of Rs. 1000.00
Cr. was released by the Govt. prior to this,
the amount earmarked for any year was not
released completely. During the year
Rs. 1193.53 Cr. (120%) was spent. Rs. 1500
crore has been budgeted for 2019-20
against which Rs.750 crore has been
released. The Board has incurred an
expenditure of Rs. 818.41 crore. up to
November 2019. This expenditure includes
payment made to the works of previous
years also.
Issues And Challenges:
Despite the interventions to develop the HK
801
region as par with the relatively developed
regions, vital indicators relating to human
development, in particular, of the region
depicts that the gaps in the indices still
persists. This indicates that the barriers to
development are still strong enough to
retard the development processes. The focus
of the Twelveth Five year plan viz., faster
more inclusive and sustainable growth
implies that people in all the regions of the
Country should gain access to development.
In this context, intensive efforts are required
to bridge the development gap and attain
equitable distribution of gains from
development across regions and people in
State. Therefore to plug the backwardness of
the Kalyana(Hyderabad)-Karnataka region,
State has made a conscious effort by
substantially increasing the allocation
provided to the HKRDB and continuing the
allocation of Rs.1500 crores during 2019-
20.The focus, however, needs to be on
education, health and nutrition and skill
development along with development of
farm and non-farm activities. Therefore,
formulation and effective implementation of
development programmes tailored to the
needs of the region are required to meet the
challenges of this region.
Reservation in Education sector and
Recruitment in Public Employment
under Article 371J of the Constitution of
India.
Special stress is laid upon for area
development, reservation in public
employment and reservation in admission
to various courses for the local persons
belonging to Kalyana(Hyderabad)-
Karnataka region under Article 371J of the
Constitution of India conferring special
status to the Kalyana(Hyderabad)-
Karnataka region. Consequential orders
have been issued for implementation of
Article 371J.
A Cabinet S u b - Committee is reviewing the
implementation of the same from time to
time. The reservation imposed for filling up
of vacant posts consequent upon the
amendment to the Constitution by insertion
of Article 371J has since been relaxed
permitting the appointing authorities to fill

 EVALUATION OF GOVERNMENT
PROGRAMMES/SCHEMES
15.1 INTRODUCTION
Evaluation is “an assessment, as systematic
and impartial as possible of an activity,
project, programme, strategy, policy, topic,
theme, sector, operational area or
institutional performance” (UNEG-2019).
Evaluations should focus on expected and
achieved accomplishments, critically
examining the presumed causal chains,
processes, and attainment of results, as well
as the contextual factors that may enhance
or impede the achievement of results.
Evaluations focus on determining the
relevance, impact of a programme, improve
effectiveness, efficiency, equity and
sustainability of service delivery, outcomes
and impacts (DMEO- NITI) and facilitates
improved learning from past experience.
Karnataka was one of the first States in the
Country to evolve an Evaluation Policy in
2000. The policy envisaged evaluation of
every scheme/ programme with an outlay of
Rs. One Crore and above during the plan
period and 1% of scheme outlay to be set
aside for evaluation. Later, for facilitating
independent evaluation of Schemes/
programmes, Karnataka Evaluation
Authority (KEA) was set up vide Government
of Karnataka order no. PD/8/EVN (2)/2011
dated 11th July 2011and registered as a
Society vide registration number DRB-
C/SOR/140/2011-12 on 19th September
2011 under the Karnataka Societies
Registration Act, 1960. It functions under
Planning, Programme Monitoring and
Statistics Department (PPMS). KEA through
evaluation process supports the line
departments for result oriented and
outcome based implementation of schemes/
programmes.

resources. In this context it was decided to commencement of the study to provide

form the sub committees of experts in the
field as per the requirements.
r KEA is collaborating with Haas School
of Business, University of California
Berkeley for the research study on
“Understanding and reducing
absenteeism in the Indian Civil Service
with special reference to Karnataka”. It
is planned that such research studies to
be taken up internally by KEA in
association with Research Institutions/
domain experts in the field.
r To enhance the quality of evaluation
reports and to provide policy
recommendations with accurate
analysis of data by application of
appropriate statistical methods and
techniques and for interpretation of the
data some expert advice is required. A
domain expert is identified at the
guidance to the Evaluation Consultant
Organizations at various stages of the
study.
r KEA has organised a training pro-
gramme for Consultant Organizations
on Recent Trends in Evaluation
Methodology on 19th August 2019.
r A committee has been constituted vide
G.O. No. PD 102 PSD 2015, Bangalore
dated 04.01.2016 to frame the
appropriate sampling design in the
ToRs of various evaluation studies. The
random sample for a study is drawn by
the Committee at KEA. This Committee
also prepares/scrutinizes the
questionnaires prepared by the
Consultant Evaluation Organization.
The Committee was involved in
sampling design for the evaluation
studies during 2018-19.
814
r Review meetings are conducted every
month to oversee the progress and to
give necessary guidance. The inception
report is presented before the
Committee in KEA and suggestions are
given to improve it and to provide
quality evaluation. An interim report is
presented before KEA after 50% of the
work is completed and required
suggestions are given at this level also.
The draft evaluation report is presented
before KEA and suggestions are given
on analytical issues, interpretations
and recommendations. After the
revision it is assessed by an
Independent Assessor/ Subject Expert
and is also sent to the Department for
their comments/ suggestions. The
report is revised as per the
comments/suggetions given by all and
then it is placed before the Technical
Committee for the quality inputs from
experts. The final revised report is
accepted for submission after approval.
r The Request for Proposal (RFP) is
revised to catch the quality issues in the
CV of the study Team members and the
weightage given to CV of study Team is
now reduced to 75% from 100%. The
organizational profile is now given a
weightage of 25%. The move is to get a
good organization for the Evaluation
study. Further, an ECO is not eligible to
participate in the tender (Request for
Proposal/Call for Expression of
Interest) if two or more evaluation
studies are pending with the Evaluation
Consultant Organization. This is to
ensure timely completion of studies
with good quality.
r Restructuring of Governing Body and
Technical Committee is done to involve
more experts in evaluation field in these
committees.

through Universities. Guidelines are
prepared to take up various studies
through Universities.
Other Initiatives
Sustainable Development Goals and
other projects
r As per the 70th Session of the United
Nations (UN) General Assembly held on
25th September 2015 adopted the
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
document titled “Transforming Our
World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development” consisting of 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
and associated 169 targets. The SDGs
seek to address not only the root causes
of poverty but also the universal need
for development to provide a life of
dignity, peace and prosperity to all. The
2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development embodies a roadmap for
progress that is sustainable and leaves
no one behind. Karnataka State has
taken up the implementation and
monitoring of SDG goals and targets.
KEA is supporting Planning,
Programme Monitoring and Statistics
Department (PPMS) in preparation of
status report and formulating strategies
for attainment of Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in
Karnataka by 2030.
r KEA also has provided support to

15.9 IMPACT OF EVALUATION- ACTION
TAKEN ON RECOMMENDATIONS
For effective utilization of evaluation output,
815
the evaluation reports are shared with the
Department and they are persuaded to send
the Action Taken Reports (ATR). The
Departments have sent ATRs for 81 studies.
Some of the changes in the scheme
recommended in the evaluation studies
have been implemented by the Government.
As per the decision of the 19th Governing
Body meeting held on 03-08-2019, a
Committee has been constituted under the
Chairpersonship of Principal Secretary to
Government, to review ATRs on Evaluation
Studies vide G.O.No. PD 66 PSD 2019,
dated:06-09-2019.
The first meeting of the committee was held
on 13-09-2019 and the action taken by the
Departments was reviewed. The
departments who have not submitted the
ATRs have been instructed to submit report
on the action taken on recommendations of
the Evaluation studies.
Many suggestions on quality interventions
and transparency are incorporated in the
implementation of the programme on
Evaluation of Green House farming under
protected cultivation structure under NHM
& RKVY (2010-11 to 2013-14). Pilot
schemes are taken up in soil less cultivation
for coco peat and hydroponics. Single village
clusters are being developed and tunnel
cultivation techniques are under consi-
deration. A study report has been initiated
from University of Horticultural Sciences,
Bagalkote on creating value chain and cold
chain for horticulture crop structures. A
new software Horticulure Benefit
Management System is introduced for
online registration, sanction and release of
subsidy to the beneficiaries.
Based on the recommendation of a Study on
evaluation of fodder Development
Programme, the Government has taken the
initiative to formulate a fodder policy for the
State. Similarly a study on Malnutrition has
suggested for formulation of a
Comprehensive Nutrition Policy for
Karnataka which is also an agenda before
the Government.
The evaluation of Bhagyalakshmi scheme
has helped the Government to know about
the impact of the incentives given under the
816
scheme. This has helped to improve the
attitude towards girl child. Further, to
promote the education of the girl child, it is
suggested that Minimum educational
criteria must be raised up to SSLC/matric or
some additional incentives can be
introduced for successful completion of
SSLC, PUC and Higher education. Bhagya
Lakshmi beneficiaries should be given
priority under various skill development as
well as self-employment schemes funded by
Karnataka state government. Sufficient
allotment of funds for awareness drive as
most of the problems the scheme would like
to address are deeply entrenched in
patriarchal social structure which validates
unequal treatment of women. Action is
being taken to revise the guidelines
accordingly.
15.10 FUTURE PLANS
KEA proposes to focus on evaluation of
major schemes and programmes having
large outlays above Rs. 100 Crores per
annum and broader coverage of
beneficiaries to provide adequate inputs to
the Government for effective outcomes of
flagship programmes.
KEA is identified as a nodal agency to
facilitate a comprehensive internship
programme in Government Departments for
capacity building of young students and
research scholars on large scale. It will
collaborate with State Universities and
Academic institutions to take evaluation
studies and thus bring Academics, and
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
Government on the same platform for
mutual benefit.
KEA will also focus more on improving the
quality of the evaluation studies through
workshops and training programmes for
capacity building of the line Departments as
well as Evaluation Consultant
Organizations. KEA will collaborate with
Centre for Open Data Research to provide
data analytics for the data collected in
evaluation studies to draw more meaningful
inferences based on evidence.
KEA will take up in-house studies to build
the capacity of young research staff. It will
also develop a real time data collection and
monitoring system for ensuring that field
realities are captured in evaluation reports.
KEA is actively, supporting the Government
departments to promote effective implemen-
tation of development programmes and
policies through assessing their outcomes
and providing feedback to bring about
necessary changes in framework as well as
implementation designs. KEA will support
the new initiatives of Planning Department
to introduce innovative programmes for
development of aspirational districts. It will
initiate the process of preparation of Output
- Outcome analysis document for Different
Central and State Government Schemes
and support the Sustainable Development
Goals coordination Centre in designing the
strategies, action plans and localization of
SDGs to achieve the set targets of SDGs
2030.

16.5.2 Institution Building and Capacity
Building:
Mobilization of poor to form their 'own
prerequisite and the core investment for
large scale poverty reduction. NRLM would
organize all poor households (women) in to
aggregate institutions of the poor that
provide them with voice, space and
resources. These platforms 'of the poor' and
'for the poor' would partner with local self-
governments, public service providers,
banks, private sector and other mainstream
institutions to facilitate delivery of social
and economic services to the poor. Building
and sustaining institutions of the poor at
various levels would be for collective action,
greater solidarity, bargaining power,
economies of scale and larger linkages.
The Gram Panchayat Level Federation will
select a local CRP, to carry the social
mobilization and capacity building process.
The federations will then analyze training
requirements and conduct training to the
existing SHGs & new SHGs formed.

16.5.3 Mahila Kisan Shashaktikaran
Pariyojane (MKSP):
To improve the condition of women
in agriculture and to increase the
opportunities for women empowerment,
Government of India is implementing MKSP
824
as a sub component of NRLM. The primary
objective of the MKSP is to empower women
in agriculture by making systematic
investments to enhance their participation
and productivity, also create and sustain
agriculture based livelihoods of rural
women.
16.5.4 Micro Enterprise Consultant
Project (Community Based Resource
Support for Micro Enterprise
Development)
Promotion of self-employment through
Micro Enterprises is an integral aspect of the
livelihood strategy of Government of India.
One of the key constraints faced is the
availability of local business development
services that will support the entrepreneurs
to set up and grow their businesses. Keeping
in view the said constraints, KSRLPS has
entered into MoU with National Resource
Organization - Kudumbashree for three
years period to implement the Micro
Enterprise Consultant (MEC) pilot at
Mysore, Hassan and Gadag Districts. In this
process, the local men and women involved
in micro enterprise activities are identified
and trained on the intricacies of Micro
enterprise business and management, after
which they will be placed at target Districts –
cluster/zone wise to provide wide range of
services to micro enterprises.
The key strategy that is adopted by NRO –
Kudumbashree in this initiative is to
develop 135 Micro Enterprise Consultants
(@ of 45 per target District) through
intensive capacity building that includes
general orientation and entrepreneurship
development programs. Of the 135 MECs,
36 will be the main mentors who would
undergo six rounds of training program (@ 5
days per month each round) on Rural
Enterprise administration and management
facilitated by experienced resource persons
engaged by NRO - Kudumbashree. Once
the entire target MECs undergoes proposed
training programs, they will be involved in
mapping the Micro enterprises that are
currently existing and collect data on the
business/other issues associated with it.
Based on the analysis of micro enterprise
business and possibilities of starting new
enterprise, necessary inputs will be

provided by trained MECs on business
development. To assist the community in
this process, two master mentors from NRO
-Kudumbashree will be placed in each target
Districts to guide and support newly
developed MECs to provide inputs to Micro
Enterprises for business development.
16.5.5 Financial Inclusion:
The Financial Inclusion process envisages
access of the poor to appropriate financial
services at an affordable cost. The vision of
KSRLPS is to act as a catalyst/facilitator for
SHGs to borrow large amount from formal
financial institutions for the livelihoods and
consumption.
Funding the poor is considered to be a risky
proposition by the banks; one of the reasons
for the situation is the lack of effective credit
delivery mechanism for the poor, besides
limited outreach & coverage.
It is in this context that KSRLPS has taken
up the task of promoting Financial Inclusion
of the rural poor. That is, delivery of
financial services to the rural poor at an
affordable cost for poverty reduction and
sustainable development. SHG Bank
linkage programme is taken as the key
strategy for delivery of financial services to
the poor in sustainable manner. During
2019-20, nearly 338162 SHGs have been
credit linked with banks, with loan amount
of Rs.284989.00 lakh.
16.5.6 Revolving Fund (RF):
Revolving fund is a grant to the SHGs which
is provided to eligible SHGs as an incentive
to inculcate the habit of thrift and
accumulate their own funds towards
meeting their credit needs and also to obtain
bank credit in multiple measures of corpus.
Target was allocated to the districts to get
the list of eligible SHGs. The list of eligible
SHGs will be scrutinized according to the
guidelines and RF will be released.
16.5.7 Community Investment Fund
(CIF)
CIF is provided as a resource in perpetuity to
capitalize the institutions of the poor. SHGs
will prepare micro investment/micro credit
plan to pursue income generating activities

During 2019-20 as many as 5014 Groups
have been given financial assistance to tune

16.5.8 Rajiv Gandhi Chaitanya Yojane
(RGCY):
Rajiv Gandhi Chaitanya Yojane was not

beneficiaries of urban areas also.
16.5.9 Rural Self Employment Training
Institutes (RSETIs):
RSETI's is the nodal agency for providing
training to rural youths on self employment
on different trades. In Karnataka State, 33
RUDSETI / RSETIs have been established in
29 districts with well established
infrastructure and human resource through
which training on 112 different trades are
imparted to the selected candidates.
Progress achieved in providing training to
rural youths is given in Table 16.11.

 SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
17.1 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
GOALS 2030
United Nations in 2015 presented 17 goals
and 169 targets of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by
2030 built on the Millennium Development
Goals adding new areas such as climate
change, economic inequality, innovation,
sustainable consumption, peace and
justice, among other priorities. Although
these goals are interconnected, each has a
separate list of targets to achieve. The SDGs
were a result of complex consultation
process involving UN member States, civil
society, the corporate sector and many other
stakeholders and individuals from around
the world (United Nations General
Assembly, 2015). The SDGs aim to initiate
action, while guiding policymaking and
accountability for the elimination of poverty,
promotion of prosperity, furthering of peace
and justice, and conservation of the planet's
resources for future generations. To achieve
these Sustainable Development Goals and
targets, the nation had frame 306 national
indicators.
Sustainable Development Encompasses
r Promotion of sustainable, inclusive and
equitable economic growth
r Creating greater opportunities for all
r Reducing inequalities
r Raising basic standards of living
r Fostering equitable social development
and inclusion
r Promoting integrated and sustainable
management of natural resources and
ecosystems
SDGs are not for implemental change they
are for transformative change. SDGs
address the root causes of poverty and
initiate efforts to make a positive change
both for people and planet. Poverty
eradication is at the heart of the 2030
837
CHAPTER 17
Agenda and so is the commitment "to leave
no-one behind". This necessitates engaging
with local Governments, social institutions,
NGOs and SHGs to frame and implement
programs and policies that envisage 'Sab ka
saath, Sab ka Vikas'. Meeting these
ambitious SDG targets set for 2030 calls for
a new and innovative way of governance
instead of the business as-usual approach.
Vertical coherence is crucial in implemen-
tation of SDGs and district administration
play a crucial role in advancing sustainable
development. While it is important for State
government to set State-level goals and
targets and the mandates to support them,
local governments are responsible for
implementation on the ground.
The SDGs will stimulate action in areas of :
People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and
Partnership
r People: To end poverty and hunger, in
all their forms and dimensions, and to
ensure that all human beings can fulfill
their potential in dignity and equality
and in a healthy environment.
r Planet: To protect the planet from
degradation, through susta-inable
consumption and production,
sustainably managing its natural
resources and taking urgent action on
climate change, so that it can support
the needs of the present and future
generations.
r Prosperity: To ensure that all human
beings can enjoy prosperous and
fulfilling lives and that economic, social
and technological progress occurs in
harmony with nature.
r Peace: To foster peaceful, just and
inclusive societies which are free from
fear and violence. There can be no
sustainable development without peace
and no peace without sustainable
development.
838
r Partnership: To mobilize the means
required to implement this Agenda
through a revitalised Global Partner-
ship for Sustainable Development,
based on a spirit of strengthened global
solidarity, focused in particular on the
needs of the poorest and most
vulnerable and with the participation of
all countries, all stakeholders and all
people.
In nutshell it is the universal, inclusive and
indivisible Agenda which calls for action by
all participating countries to improve the
lives of the people and the planet. While the
SDGs and targets set at a global context,
they have been designed in a way so that
they can be adapted locally to meet the
specific challenges. SDGs address all three

Economic, Social and Environmental
aspects of development.
The 17 Goals are as follows:

various SDGs, a separate technical cell has
been established and goal specific
committees have been formed to provide
technical support, through departments
and experts that contribute to the Goal as
members
The Goal-wise Committees have identified
around 600 indicators which contains some
of the national indicators and additional
State indicators. A monthly review of NITI
Aayog's 62 priority indicators is part of the
Karnataka Development Programme (KDP)
Review at the District and State level.
Baseline data has been prepared by Goal
Committees with all relevant information.
Karnataka has been actively working
towards spreading awareness about
SDGs.This involves disaggregated data from
the districts and district specific targets are
set to ensure the effective and efficient
implementation of SDGs by District
Planning Committees (DPC). It is planned to
develop new dashboard to ensure effective
monitoring and evaluation of development
programmes. State is in Partnership with
Public Affairs Centre (PAC) and IIITB for
open data analysis of SDG indicators
specifically focussed on building data
science applications to help in mid course
corrections as well as evidence based policy
interventions.

Cities and Communities (36). It can be
clearly seen from the (Fig. 17.2) that we need
to focus a lot on Goal 5 on 'Gender Equality'
and Goal 11 on 'Sustainable Cities and
Communities'. As per 2019 India Index
Report, Goal 1, Goal 2 and Goal 9 have been
slipped from performers to aspirants. Goal 6
improved from performer (62) to front
runner (88) and all other goals are in same
group both as per 2018 and 2019 reports. In
composite score the State moved from
performer (64) to front runner (66).
Government of Karnataka has crafted
relevant policies, many of them innovative in
nature, to ensure that all sectors work in an
integrated manner to achieve SDG targets
and improve State's ranking. Karnataka is
following a comprehensive holistic path
with–
r Effective implementation strategies
considering the multidimensional
nature (Social, Economic and
Environment) of SDGs.
Economic Survey of Karnataka 2019-20
r The major weakness in the fulfilment of
MDGs was inadequacy of funding.
Hence targeted financial investments
and outcomes have been budgeted for
each year till 2030.The government is
ensuring adequate investments across
sectors to target achieving SDGs
through scheme mapping.
r Resource use efficiency approach and
governance strategy form the base for
development pathway for achieving
SDGs was considered in developing
strategies and action plans for
achieving SDG targets.
r Integration of all programs and policies
to measurable indicators of sustainable
845
development goals through conver-
gence and modifications
r Creating awareness (Information,
Education and Communication) about
all governmental programs of all
departments and distribution of
governmental benefits through
establishment of single window agency
r Special focus on promoting skill
development across sectors in a bigger
way through vertical and horizontal
coordination
r Higher emphasis on data collection and
analytics related to SDG indicators -
