Bengaluru: While several disagreements and protests have dogged the H.D. Kumaraswamy government in Karnataka after it announced its Cabinet of Ministers, this appointment is probably something everyone will agree with. Breaking tradition, Kumaraswamy has said that he has appointed Infosys Founder N.R. Narayana Murthy as the Head of Karnataka Planning Board.
The Board is a Constitutional body and the Chief Minister is its Chairman. Some of the functions of the Board include assessing resources and formulating plans for overall development of the State, besides monitoring progress of plan implementation.
