Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad Gurudatta Hegde has said that while the administration is making all-out efforts to ensure the development of Dharwad as a brand, support and cooperation of the general public and organisations are vital.
Speaking at a Meet-the-Press organised by the Dharwad Journalist Guild in Dharwad on Friday, he said that amid several challenges on the development front, Dharwad district has a high potential to emerge as a harbinger of education, a cultural zone and also a tourism hub.
Referring to the influx of students into Dharwad from across North Karnataka, he said that several career coaching centres have been concentrated in one area leading to congestion and other problems and the administration has planned to shift these centres to other areas where HDUDA sites are available. This apart, necessary steps will also be taken for the safety of girl students in the city, he said.
