This is useful for Medical tourism. If we want to develop Mangalore as
Aerotropolis then road network around airport should be strengthened and metro and highspeed rail connectivity to airport is also important. (
Bangalore’s Development as an Aerotropolis). Mangalore can also have
Marina near Kunathabail itself or places like Ullal can be considered.
Call to set up rural innovation centre
Selco has
SELCO Labs in Ujire near Dharmasthala. But there is more to do. A startup dedicated to this is useful. Karnataka government has plan to set up a research center at Belapu. But I think this is for academic research. In addition we need facilities for product-oriented research. Mangalore has very few research institutes (
CMFRI branch,
Geological Survey of India, small private ones working mainly on medical field like
Nova Meditech,
Mangalore Biotech, and others like
Goal Technologies. Research facilities are there in industries like BASF, MRPL, Sequent also. And then there are colleges and hospitals with their own research labs like
SIEMENS Centre of Excellence | MITE,
Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management::CENT,
NITK-STEP.). Mangalore definitely deserve good research & start-up facilities looking at its educational profile. Good medical research & start-ups can contribute a lot for medical tourism.
