A member of parliament, Kumar Naik, wanted to make sure the state of Karnataka was involved.
The government said yes!
The state will have a say in how the technology is developed.
Karnataka has smart people and companies who can help.
The state will be represented in the governing boards of the project's hubs, with one in Bengaluru.
This will help Karnataka stay at the front of new science in India.
