The Kalyana Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KKCCI), Kalaburagi delegation has invited Congress President and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge to inaugurate the Diamond Jubilee celebrations to be held in Kalaburagi from November 28 to 30.

The three-day celebrations will commemorate 60 years of the chamber of commerce, industry and development of the Kalyana Karnataka region. The program will include an industrial exhibition, state level conference, ‘Udyoga Sethu’ job fair and KKCCI Founders Day celebrations.

The delegation briefed Mr. Kharge on the objectives of the programme, including bringing together industrialists, entrepreneurs, industry associations and job seekers to promote business opportunities, investment and employment in the region. The celebration will also recognize the contributions of the chamber’s founders and those who have helped build the organization over the past six decades.
