The Kochimool Trust has launched a new hostel in Bhoopasandra, Bangalore, specifically for children of dairy farmers from Kolar and Chikkaballapur districts. This initiative is focused on supporting the education of farmers’ children and promoting the dairy industry.
Hostel Inauguration and Future Development Plans
The newly established hostel is located in a Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) building, provided rent-free to support the cause. K. Y. Nanjegowda, president of the Kochimool Trust and MLA of Malaru, announced plans for constructing a new dedicated building for the hostel soon.
At the inauguration, Nanjegowda thanked KMF for their continued support, noting that the current government facilitated the hostel’s registration after delays caused by administrative changes. He assured attendees that the construction of a new hostel facility would begin shortly.
Facilities for Children of Dairy Farmers
The Kochimool Trust’s initiative has received widespread praise, particularly for offering rent-free accommodation. The hostel will provide various benefits, including educational subsidies and dairy farming equipment. Nanjegowda also highlighted the implementation of successful schemes for dairy farmers by the Kolar-Chikkaballapur Union during his tenure, such as livestock insurance and subsidies for farming tools.
Additional Projects to Support Dairy Farmers
Besides the hostel, Nanjegowda detailed other key projects, such as the establishment of the Golden Dairy in Kolar, Mega Dairy in Chikkaballapur, an ice cream unit in Chintamani, and a solar unit near Holali in Kolar. He emphasized the union’s commitment to strengthening dairy cooperatives in these regions.
Dignitaries in Attendance
The inauguration ceremony was graced by several notable dignitaries, including Higher Education Minister Dr. M. C. Sudhakar, MP M. Malleshbabu, Chief Minister’s Political Secretary Naseer Ahmed, MLA Kottur G. Manjunath, MLC M. L. Anil Kumar, and other members of the Kochimool Trust.
