Tourism:
Students are finding new recreation spots. Like the unexplored Meenakshipura, located in the KRS (Krishna Raja Sagara) backwaters, around 30 kms from Mysore, which is attracting hordes of college students. The number of students coming here has increased drastically over the years, since the spot is just about an hour from the Mysore city, students come here for a swim, spend the day here and return by evening. There have been no drowning incidents here unlike Balmuri which is not a safe place for swimmers anymore.The spot has remained undisturbed by commercial establishments. Recently, the Bollywood movie Rangrez, the remake of Tamil hit 'Nadodigal', was shot here. As was a song sequence of a Tamil movie.The ambience is completely different from the amusement parks. If there are no classes for 2-3 hours, students can easily come to these spots and return in time for the next class.
