India Jul 02, 2025

Bengaluru City University is being renamed after former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, as a nod to his major role in shaping the city's growth.
In 2006, Singh laid the foundation for big projects like the Bengaluru Metro and the Bangalore-Electronic City elevated Highway—both now central to how the city moves.

Expansion of Bangalore University's North Campus

The state has also greenlit a ₹123.5 crore expansion for Bangalore University's North Campus, aiming to boost student facilities and campus life.
The Karnataka Housing Board will handle the project, showing the government's push to improve higher education and make student experiences better in Bengaluru.
