Bangalore’s urban agglomeration is going to soon get even more cosmopolitan, with the state government thinking of setting up a township exclusively for Japanese expats on 1,000 acres of land.
With as many as 196 Japanese projects coming to Karnataka, and leading Japanese carmakers likely to pump in around Rs 10,000 crore in the coming months, setting up a mini-Japan near the city to cater to the needs of Japanese executives and workers is inevitable.
The government, in association with the Japanese government, also plans to set up a Japanese-language school in Bangalore to help Kannadigas learn Japanese and improve their chances of employment in Japanese firms, an industries department official said.
According to the minister, the state government has offered 1,000 acres of land at Vasantha Narasapura, Vemagal and a location between Tumkur and Sira. Called the Japanese Industrial Township, it will have residential accommodation, restaurants, pagodas, hospitals and schools
