Rao committee will do a reality check on backwardness of taluks
The New Indian Express Bengaluru|January 03, 2025
THE High Power Committee for Redressal of Regional Imbalance, which was set up by the Siddaramaiah government on March 16, 2024, under the chairmanship of renowned economist Prof M Govind Rao, started functioning from September because of many reasons, including the Lok Sabha elections.
RAMAKRISHNA BADSESHI @Kalaburagi:

Though CM Siddaramaiah has spoken on several occasions on the constitution of the committee, there was no clear picture on who Prof Govind Rao is, and who are the members of the committee and how it functions.

Prof Govind Rao, younger brother of space scientist UR Rao, and Dr R Vishal, senior IAS officer and member secretary of the committee, spoke to The New Indian Express about the committee and its functioning, and said it is a follow-up to the Dr DM Nanjundappa Committee.

The Prof Govind Rao Committee has been given the brief to assess the development which has taken place following implementation of the Dr Nanjundappa Committee, which had submitted its report in 2002, and implementation of the recommendations began in 2007.
