HUBLI: Once again Infosys has been appealed to set-up its IT shop in Hubli to make the city the an IT-hub of North Karnataka. The appeal this time was made by made by KLE Society chairman Prabhakar Kore.
The occasion was the foundation laying ceremony of the Dr R H Kulkarni Memorial Lecture Hall Complex at the KLES’ BVB College of Engineering and Technology here on Thursday. Infosys Foundation chairperson Sudha Murhty laid the foundation.
Kore stated that with the rise of Infosys and other IT companies, the economy of the country had entirely been changed. “We are expecting the same kind of change in northern part of Karnataka, which would be possible if Infosys sets up its shop in this part of the region,” he said.
Sudhya Murhty, who is also an alumni of the BVB College of Engineering College, has donated Rs 5 crore to construct Dr R H Kulkanri Memorial Lecture Hall Complex on the college campus.
The complex will be built in the area of 42,000 square feet. Around 1,200 students can attend the lecture at the venue. The complex also houses class rooms, teachers’ hall and examination section.
Addressing the gathering, Sudha Murhty, however, did not promise any investment by the Infosys Technologies in Hubli, but said that it was the pay back time for her for the college which gave her a successful career. “Whatever you pay for your institute, cannot be matched with what you have gained from it,” she said calling upon the college alumnus to help their institute in all possible ways.
Principal Ashok Shettar said that the move of Sudha Murhty is worth emulating. With the aid given by the Infosysian, the infrastructure facilities in the college would further improve and maximum number of students can benefit out of this.
Sudha Murthy who visited the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital promised to donate Rs 2 crore to build super speciality OPD during the 50th year of the institute. She held discussion with KIMS director Dr M G Hiremath and concerned engineers for selection of land for the new OPD.
The land behind the existing OPD has been selected to construct two-storyed super speciality OPD complex with all modern facilities.
The work would be completed by the end of July 2008. The block would be named after her father Dr R H Kulkarni who was professor in the Gynecology Department in the same institute.
