BANGALORE: Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy is bringing all stakeholders of Bangalore on a single platform on Jan 27 to get them to present a report card on what they have done in the last one year, and to unveil their plans for the future. The CM’s initiative is timed to coincide with his first anniversary which falls in the first week of February.

BDA, BMP, BWSSB, Bescom, BMTC, BMRDA, BMRCL etc, all have been told to make presentations on their performance and the long-term and short-term goals they have set for the future at the day-long session at Jnanajyothi Auditorium, Central College. The Chief Minister will personally sit through these sessions. The BDA has been asked to coordinate the event.

The Government will invite CEOs, industrialists, educationists, intelligentsia, industrialists, students, NGOs to attend as delegates and seek clarifications on the role and work of different agencies and make suggestions on how they can improve their functioning so as to ensure overall development of Bangalore.

The event is tentatively named, Bangalore - Today & Tomorrow, and the idea, according to officials, is to bring all the agencies related to Bangalore’s development together, and get them to work with better coordination.

Kumaraswamy is said to be keen on the event, through which, he believes he can convey to Bangaloreans all that his administration did for the City in the last one year. He is also said to nurse a feeling that not all his initiatives for the City had been properly conveyed to people, and an interactive session with the members of public will provide them a better clarity on issues.
