BENGALURU: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday called upon students and faculty of a government engineering college to emerge as the pioneer institution in utilising the new Research and Development (R&D) policy.

The CM was addressing the students and faculty of University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering after inaugurating the renovated buildings and laying the foundation stone for the new Mechanical Engineering block.
“The state government is upgrading seven government engineering colleges to the standards of IITs to showcase to the nation that Karnataka is the state that provides the most skilled youth to the nation,” Bommai said.

Calling it a knowledge era, the CM said, “Karnataka is proud to be home to the highest number of start-ups and unicorns. The 105-year-old UVCE has played a major role in the progress of the state,” he said.

Bommai exhorted the students to soar high with the power of knowledge like a swan, the vehicle of Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge. “You are the future of Karnataka and the country. Be the achievers to lead the world,” he said.

The CM had on Monday annunced that his government is formulating a new Research and Development (R&D) policy and said it will be announced within a month. (ANI)
