A Collaborative Effort for Community Growth
Regional development in Belagavi Rural relies on the active participation of both government officials and local residents. During the 27.56 Lakh project launch, the presence of leaders like Maruti Lokure, Mallikarjuna Lokure, and Ramdas Jadhav underscored the community’s unified stance on progress. The administration aims to complete the construction swiftly to ensure the new rooms are ready for the upcoming academic session.
Empowering the next generation through better infrastructure is a recurring theme in the Minister’s tenure. According to Belgaum Mirror, Hebbalkar has been consistently launching high-value projects, from road asphalting to school upgrades, to ensure last-mile connectivity and service delivery. This latest 27.56 Lakh investment in Nandihalli further cements her commitment to bridging the gap between rural and urban education standards in Karnataka.
