SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN ................................................ 530 iv Annual Plan 2015-16 – An Outline Karnataka has a rich heritage, inspiring its people to create a bright future. With its special geographical location full of variety - its rivers, hills, valleys, plains, forests and resources - the State is known for its tourist and industrial potential. Its long history of over 2,000 years has left many beautiful forts, tanks, temples, mosques and towns of historical importance to the posterity. These old towns have grown to be industrial, commercial and educational centres. They are provided with all modern facilities. Bordered by the Western Ghats with tall peaks and lush greenery in the west, the tableland is fertile because of its black soil and river and tank irrigation facilities. The coastal strip to the west of the Ghats is renowned for its silvery beaches and rich green paddy fields. Karnataka’s total geographical area is 1.92 lakh Sq. km. It accounts for 5.83 per cent of the total area of the country (32.88 lakh sq.km) and ranks eighth among major State of the country in terms of size. As per 2011 Census, the State’s population was 6.11 crore spread across thirty districts. It is country’s ninth most populated state. The density of population as per 2011 Census was 319 persons per sq.km which was lower than the all-India density of 382. State is having second largest arid area next to Rajasthan (70%). There are 30 Districts,176 talukas,747 Hoblies,6018 Gram Panchayats and 220 Urban Local bodies. When the State was formed in 1956, its economy was predominantly agrarian. The agriculture sector which contributed about 60% of GSDP in 1960-61, contributed only 36% in 1993-94. Currently (2014-15), the agriculture sector contributes only 17.5% of GSDP (at current prices), and employs over 58% of the workforce. The reduction in the workforce in agriculture is not commensurate with the decline in its share of GSDP. This means that a disproportionately high number of workers in the State depend on this sector for their livelihood. The industries sector contributes 23.4% (at current prices) and workforce in this sector is 15%, while

This year marks the 59th Kannada Rajyotsava. The criteria for formation of Indian States is language. India became a Republic in the year 1950 and in same year linguistic provinces were formed. The state of Mysore is one such state in South India. The state of Mysore was created taking into fold various parts of the region, which were ruled by kings. Several districts in, now called North Karnataka and Hyderabad Karnataka were dissolved in the new state. The new state was named after Mysore, which by itself was a princely state. People of North and Hyderabad area did not accept the name Mysore. After prolonged debate the name of the state was changed to Karnataka on November 1, 1956. Late Devaraj Urs, the then Chief Minister of state took this landmark decision. Officially the new state was born on November 1st, 1973 and on this day every year, the birthday of the state is celebrated.
