The five guarantee schemes launched by the Congress-led government in the State will improve the economic conditions of the poor who have been in distress due to price rise and unemployment. This will also improve the State economy and increase Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), Minister for Environment, Ecology and Forest and district in-charge Eshwar Khandre has said.
Unfurling the national flag to mark Kalyana Karnataka Utsav (Liberation Day) at Nehru Stadium in Bidar on Sunday, Mr. Khandre recalled that though India got Independence in 1947, it took over a year for the princely state of Hyderabad Karnataka to merge with the Indian Union on September 17, 1948.
