Minister for Forest and Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Umesh Katti has said that a forest college will be established in Chincholi, Kalaburagi district, in a year.
“Forest colleges are functioning in Sirsi and Mysuru. North Karnataka region doesn’t have one. We are planning to establish another forest college in Chincholi as North Karnataka doesn’t have one. We will take Cabinet approval and establish it in a year,” Mr. Katti said, after inaugurating Salumarada Timmakka Tree Park at Polakapalli in Chincholi taluk on Monday.
The Forest Department has developed the park on eight acres of land at a cost of ₹1 crore.
