He was speaking on the topic - 'The rise of Global Capability Centres (GCC) and their importance to Mangaluru', at the 'Techwaves 2025 – Rise of the Silicon Beach of India' organised by the Vertex Managed Workspace here on Friday. "We have set ourselves about 30 months to inaugurate it; within which we want to complete the centre and hand it over to Mangaluru. What we did in Electronic City can be replicated in Mangaluru," he said. Bachegowda said an ecosystem will be created to make Mangaluru the second Electronic City of Karnataka . "Presently, we have an idea of putting up about four lakh square feet centre in Blueberry Hill, but this could go up to 10 lakh square feet, based on the zoning regulations which are due to be changed in Mangaluru. We have been working consciously to make sure that the tender and the way we structure the whole programme is more favourable for local players," he said. Calling Mangaluru one of the emerging cities, he said the coastal region has several engineering colleges. "We have got talent over here. Hence, we want to make sure that the talent present over here gets the opportunities," he said, promising govt support. "The govt will support you with Internet, power, taxes and tariffs. We have got about a 3.5-acre space, where we are looking to put up a really big IT centre similar to what Bengaluru has in its IT park," he added. Kobayashi Create India director Koki Kato and NIDEC Advanced Technology Corporation GM Takashi Miyasaka were felicitated on the occasion.

DKS praises Keonics for providing tech education to rural youth, creating jobs
Bengaluru: 'Development, wealth and education are the results of technology. Every development can be seen through technology. Keonics has created jobs by providing new technology education to rural youth,' DCM DK Shivakumar praised. DCM DK Shivakumar inaugurated the e-commerce portal of Keonics in Bengaluru on Monday. Shivakumar said, 'Keonics is a model for the country in terms of new technology. It is providing its services to many states. Such a good institution was dormant for some years. Under the leadership of Priyank Kharge, it has got a new form with the ideas of Sharath Bachegowda.' 'When I was in school, Electronic City was being started in Bangalore. At that time, SM Krishna was the Union Industries Minister, while Veerappa Moily was the Industries Minister in the state. Now we have grown in electronic technology. The whole world is looking at Bangalore. When I was in class 10, there was not even a calculator. Later, technology developed to the point of electronic watches,' he said. 'May Keonics help many businesses through its new website. May it grow even higher. Congratulations to the officers and staff of the organization,' he said. 'Ashok, in a responsible position, should not lie' 'R Ashok, who is in a responsible position, should not lie. Whether the caste census report is true, false or fake, he can get an answer by asking Jayaprakash Hegde, who was the chairman of the commission, or Dayanand, who is an officer,' DCM DK Shivakumar retorted. He responded to media queries on Monday regarding R Ashok's allegations that Siddaramaiah has kept the caste census report at home. 'The Backward Classes Commission is an autonomous body. The sealed report was brought before the cabinet and opened there and viewed. It was also videotaped,' he said. When asked about Satish Jarkiholi's statement that it would take another year for the implementation of the caste census, he said, 'This is a matter for internal discussion in the cabinet. This is not something to be discussed publicly.' When asked about the removal of Janivara during the CET exam, he said, 'It was wrong to remove Janivara. Some people are wearing linga, ududara( waist thread). Mangalasutra, Ear-ring, Janivara should not be touched. This is all a matter of their religion. The government does not allow such things. There is a system of removing it when selecting for police jobs. But it should not be removed in schools and colleges. It was wrong to do this. There have been incidents of copying using some devices, including invisible Bluetooth devices, in the past. Steps have been taken to avoid this.
