Summary:
A meeting on Friday will decide on the future course of Brahmavar Cooperative Sugar Factory at Brahmavar in Udupi district. It may be recalled that the foundation stone for the Brahmavar Cooperative Sugar Factory and the Varahi Irrigation Project was laid on the same day in 1980. In fact the work on Varahi project caught some speed in 2004, when the factory shut down amidst mounting losses. The intention was that the farmers would grow sugarcane from water provided by Varahi project and supply it to the factory. While the factory started functioning in 1985, works on the Varahi project progressed at a snail’s pace..
