Five years after laying the foundation stone, work on the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Research and Study Centre campus is yet to take off.
Though tenders have been called thrice, none were finalised and work orders issued, and the project is now pending before Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai for approval of escalation of costs.
The Siddaramaiah-led government initiated the project and granted 3 acres of land on the Jnanabharathi campus of Bangalore University and earmarked ₹50 crore for the project, through the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
