Presently in Bangalore Rural district, there are 4 talukas: Devanahalli, Nelamangala, Doddaballapura, Hoskote.

The rural people are mostly agriculturists, although with the advent of Special Economic Zones in the area, service and IT industries are booming.

[1] The district is endowed with agricultural and horticultural crops such as ragi, rice, groundnut, sugarcane, castor, grapes, mulberry, etc.

The soil and such climatic conditions are congenial for the cultivation of mulberry, rearing of silkworms, and production of silk, besides other agro-based industries.

There is a proposal by the Government of Karnataka to rename Bangalore Rural district to Kempe Gowda.
