Karnataka will officially inaugurate its ambitious Knowledge Health Innovation Research-City (KHIR-City), a cluster of world-class universities, hospitals, innovative industries, and research institutions, coming up on a parcel of 2,000 acres of land near the Kempegowda International Airport, on August 23.
With an estimated investment of over ₹40,000 crore, the entire project is expected to create about 50,000 jobs, said Industries Minister M.B. Patil in a statement. The Minister said the focus of the KHIR-City would be on research, innovation, and development of prototypes.
“The KHIR-City is expected to significantly contribute to the State’s economy and will also boost exports, enabling Bengaluru to reach new heights,” he added.
