The districts of Bombay-Karnataka region have something to cheer about in the Budget, although not many demands have been met. The pending demand for a direct railway line (73 km) between Dharwad and Belagavi via Kittur received grant of ₹463 crore in the State Budget. A grant of ₹10 crore in the first year for a ₹75 crore project for upgrade of Dharwad Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences, establishment of regional centre of forensic science laboratories in Hubballi, establishment of a food park under Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan scheme in Ittangihal village of Vijayapura district; establishment of ‘Modern Quality Analysis Unit’ at an expenditure of ₹4 crore at Agricultural Produce Market in Byadgi in Haveri district are few projects for the region.
