Karnataka Budget 2026-27: Kalyana Karnataka projects routed largely through KKRDB funds
The Karnataka State Budget for 2026-27 allocates ₹5,000 crore to the Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB) for infrastructure, education, health, and social sector development in the region. Siddaramaiah, Chief Minister of Karnataka, highlighted this commitment, emphasizing the Board's role in addressing regional disparities. The budget proposes using KKRDB funds to construct anganwadi buildings, upgrade colleges, establish new residential colleges, and strengthen the healthcare sector. However, critics question whether this reliance on the Board's grants is adequately supporting regular departmental spending within the state.
