Panel recommends suggestions on new delimitation of Palike wards
The state Cabinet on Thursday ended the uncertainty over the division of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) by deciding to trifurcate the civic body.
“The decision was taken in accordance with the recommendation of the committee headed by former chief secretary B S Patil, which was constituted to suggest structural changes to the BBMP to make the city administration more responsive and accountable,” sources in the Cabinet said after the meeting here.
The committee has also presented its suggestions on the new delimitation of wards for more local bodies for the city.
The number of wards in each civic body and other aspects would be decided after further deliberations, sources said.
The state government would submit an affidavit conveying the decision to the Karnataka High Court, which is hearing a petition on the proposed division of BBMP.
As far as the proposal to supersede the BBMP is concerned, the state government has already issued a show-cause notice to the commissioner and all the corporators of the BBMP in this regard, sources added.
Central College, Jnanabharati stay with B’lore varsity; 2nd one in Kolar; no word on 3rd entity
The Cabinet on Thursday decided to divide Bangalore University into three, putting an end to speculation over the shape Asia’s biggest university would take.
The Cabinet decision follows the recent recommendation by the Cabinet sub-committee.
The decision would in effect mean carving out two new universities out of the existing Bangalore University, which would retain the old and historic Central College and Jnanabharati campuses.
Of the two new universities to be carved out, one would be based in Kolar district and will include neighbouring Chikkaballapur district.
At Kolar, the Bangalore University already has a post-graduate centre and the location of another proposed university would be finalised soon, sources in the Cabinet said after the meeting.
The division of the university was inevitable as it was unwieldy with affiliation of 606 colleges. The two new universities would start functioning from the next academic year, sources said. The proposal to split the university has been there since 2009 when a committee headed by former V-C N Rudraiah had recommended trifurcation.
Governor may reject proposal
According to sources in the Raj Bhavan, chances are the governor, who is also chancellor of universities, may not approve the trifurcation of the university since he is said to favour bifurcation. If the governor sends it back, the government has to re-look into the issue and re-submit it.

Important Points
- Karnataka Government have proposed to finally split BBMP and Bangalore University
- A committee of seven member congress team has been formed to trifurcate the body
- Kolar and Tumakuru would get parts of the university along with the centralized university that exists presently
