Govt. Sanctions ₹1.15 Crore for 23 Kambalas in DK and Udupi
By ETF Desk
The Karnataka state government has approved a total of ₹1.15 crore to assist 23 Kambalas across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. The funds are intended to provide financial support for community members working in traditional agricultural and cultural activities.
Kambalas are a rural community known for their involvement in local farming practices and cultural events in the coastal belt of Karnataka. Historically, they have faced economic challenges due to fluctuating agricultural income and limited access to capital. This allocation reflects the government's effort to address livelihood disparities and strengthen the socio-economic fabric of the region.
The subsidy will cover expenses such as crop inputs, equipment maintenance, and support for community-driven cultural programs. By providing targeted assistance, the government aims to improve economic resilience among Kambalas, preserve regional heritage, and promote inclusive development. Source: Google News – Udupi.
