Science Consolidation

Situated at an altitude of 920 metres above sea level, Bangalore is the principal

administrative, cultural, commercial and industrial centre of the state of Karnataka. Thecity, which is spread over an area of 2190 square kilometres, enjoys a pleasant and

equable climate throughout the year. Its tree-lined streets and abundant greenery have led

to it being called the 'Garden City' of India. However, since local entrepreneurs and the

technology giant Texas Instruments discovered its potential as a high-tech city in the early

1980s, Bangalore has seen a major technology boom. It is now home to more than 250

high-tech companies. Including homegrown giants like Wipro and Infosys. Consequently,

now Bangalore is called the 'Silicon Valley' of India.

Bangalore, the nerve - centre of India's software industry. Its other major industries include

aircraft, electronics and machine tools. Despite being one of Asia's fastest growing cities,

Bangalore remains one of the most elegant metropolises in India. A well - planned city, with

tree - lined avenues, a large number of parks, gardens and lakes, Bangalore is aptly called

India's garden city.

The city attracts people in large numbers, from all over the country, and abroad, who come

to look for better job opportunities, and higher education. Surprisingly, all this frantic

industrial expansion and increase in the population, has not robbed Bangalore of its

essential old-world appeal. It is, in the true sense, a very 'happening' city.
