While newer extensions have taken away this distinction from Jayanagar, it remains one of the more southern parts of the city.

Later a new development project was initiated in 2011-2012 during the tenure of B. S. Yediyurappa and B. N. Vijaya Kumar worth around 193 crores that also involved demolishing the Puttanna Kanagal theatre.
