Geography
Karnataka is the 8th largest state in India in

It was formerly  known as Mysore.

On November 1,1973, the name Mysore was

changed to Karnataka.

Neighboring States & Region -

Maharashatra and Goa, Andhra
Pradesh,
Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Arabian Sea.

The western Ghats slope gently towards

the Bay of Bengal. This is the plateau region
drained by the two principal rivers namely
Krishna and Kaveri. The average elevation of
the plateau is about 610 meters above sea-
level.
History
The plateau of Karnataka is said to
have been associated to the
happenings in the Epic Ramayana.

In 1565 the empire of Vijayanagar

was shattered by the Sultans of the
Deccan at the famous battle of
Talikota. Meanwhile in 1399 AD, the
Wodeyar dynasty established itself in
Mysore, a small principality and
made Srirangapatnam its capital.
Wodeyar's were overthrown by Hyder
Ali. Mysore witnessed the strong rule
of Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan.

In 1799 the British controlled

Mysore, the hub of Karnataka, and it
remained as a princely state up to
1947. The state of Karnataka earlier
called as Mysore, became a state of
the Indian Union in 1973.

State specific challenges
Agriculture – Share in state GDP down from 34%
in 1993-94 to 20% in 2005-06

Infrastructure, planning and governance –

Bangalore, in particular, needs immediate
attention

Human capital – Skilled manpower in short

supply; Knowledge industry most affected; Low
salaries; Delayed promotions ; Difficult service
conditions; Companies forced to impart in-house
training to even advance degree holders

Poverty – 25% of people still below poverty line

Suggestions
Strong data base: Collection of detailed data in respect of health
workforce by age, sex, education, skill etc across geographical regions
using uniform methodology is required for all countries on a regular
basis.
Investment on human resources in health: More investment on
human resources in the health sector particularly in less developed
regions is urgently needed, as there is a threat of different
epidemiological disease all over the world in view of the rapid climatic
change.
Safety and Security of HWF: As it is found that the health workforce
contributes significantly to the health status of the population
particularly in less developed countries, it is pertinent to formulate
suitable policy package for these workers in order to retain them with
safety and security for the overall development of quality in the health
care services.
Need based policy: Lastly, no uniform policy can meet the specific
needs of a specific region and hence it needs to be target specific and
need based.
