Planning for Nelamangala Block in the peripheries of Bengaluru, Karnataka - an attempt towards decongestion and renewal

Summary/Abstract: The Indian National Development Council in its meeting, held in the year 1968 decided to study the regional imbalance at its depth. Thus, it was important to identify a fairly homogeneous economic structure in a newly proposed area to address a comprehensive regional issue. Nelamangala situated in the fringe area of the software capital of India, Bengaluru has been generally known for its raw silk, silk sarees, coconut, vegetables, beedi, bricks and kerosene. But presently it has gained immense potentialities as a region of development which would not only carry some loads of overly populated Bengaluru region and at the same time its existing population and the economy would surely gain from such measures. It has been marked as a part of the major cluster zones located in the north-west part of Bengaluru Metropolitan Region which has been analysed statistically for demographic components, literacy, working status and land use components to gauge its suitability (and feasibility) for consideration as a growth region in future.
