Pilikula Master Plan to Develop 339 Acres in Karnataka for Science and Tourism Hub

The Karnataka government has unveiled an ambitious Master Plan for Pilikula, a prominent tourist destination in the region, which aims to transform the area into a major science and tourism hub covering 339 acres. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the states appeal in both scientific research and tourism, with investments expected to boost local economies and provide significant job opportunities.

The plan includes the development of various facilities, such as research centers, educational institutions, and recreational areas, designed to attract both tourists and researchers. Officials indicated that this development is in line with the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable tourism and utilizing natural resources responsibly.

Pilikula, located near Mangalore, is known for its diverse wildlife, lush landscapes, and historical significance. The successful implementation of this plan could position Karnataka as a leading destination for ecotourism and science-related tourism, further diversifying its economic portfolio.

Stakeholders and community members are encouraged to provide feedback on the Master Plan, ensuring that the development aligns with local interests and environmental sustainability. The government is set to release further details and timelines for the projects execution in the coming months.
