Hydrabad Karnataka Region Development Board Kalaburagi

By amendment to the constitution of India, Article 371(j) was created by the UPA Government in 2013 due to the efforts of the Union Minister for Railways Dr. Mallikarjun Kharge, currently M.P and the HKRDB was set up by the HKRDB order 2013 on 06/11/2013 by the state government under the chief Minister Sri. Siddaramaiah.
The mission of the HKRDB is to achieve rapid inclusive growth and balanced regional development with social justice for the six districts coming under Hyderabad Karnataka Region. The vision is to achieve this through Macro and Micro level planning by filling the historical developmental gaps in such a way that the centres of growth and the peripheries develop in tandems and in an interdependent manner. The HKRDB has adopted the Taluka as a unit, taking guidance from the Dr. Nanjundappa Report on Redressal of regional Imbalance. Funds for Micro Projects (60%) are allocated proportionate to the CDI (Comprehensive Deprivation Index) for that Taluka and must be spent on critical Infrastructure and institutional gaps. For Macro Projects (40%) funds are allocated sector wise by the Board, to fill gaps in Macro sectors identified according to scale or scope or a combination of the two.
