Belgaum (Kannada ISO: Bēḷagāma, IPA: [beːɭɐɡaːmɐ]), officially known as Belagavi (also Belgaon[7]), is a city in the Indian state of Karnataka located in its northern part along the Western Ghats.[8][9] It is the administrative headquarters of the eponymous Belagavi division and Belagavi district. The Government of Karnataka has proposed making Belgaum the second capital of Karnataka alongside Bangalore, hence a second state administrative building Suvarna Vidhana Soudha was inaugurated on 11 October 2012.[10]

Belgaum has been selected in first phase out of 20 cities, as one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a smart city under India's flagship Smart Cities Mission.[11]
