Madikeri :

The Rs 50 crore sanctioned for Kodagu will be used exclusively for the development of rural roads in the district, said the CM. He confirmed that the medical college in Madikeri will begin admissions from 2016-17.

Kodagu was a separate state and during that period many records lay in the then chief commissioner’s office. To computerize all these documents, the chief minister has sanctioned Rs 1 crore.

The agricultural income tax exemption for coffee will continue along with tea and rubber. Kodagu Chamber of Commerce president B N Prakash said that the chamber welcomes the amount sanctioned for road development. tnn
