Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation

You can find us in Shimoga at Sharada Nilaya. We are located near the Durgamba Temple in the Gadikoppa area. Mohan K is the person usually heading things up in this office. Our focus is on the housing needs for the police force in this region. The office is situated in a residential part of town, which makes it feel more like a community spot than a cold government building. It’s a quiet place for the most part. We deal with the planning and maintenance of quarters and other buildings. Shimoga is a beautiful place, and being near the temple means we see a lot of local life every day. The work involves a lot of site visits and checking on construction progress to see how things are coming along. We don't have a big corporate setup here. It’s just a practical office where we keep the records and meet with contractors to discuss projects. Sometimes the paperwork piles up on the desks, but we work through it. People from the force come by to check on their applications or report issues with their housing. We try to keep things moving as fast as the system allows us to. It’s not always easy, but it’s what we do. The building is simple and easy to spot if you know where the temple is. We just focus on getting people into their homes.
