The process to adopt a monument in Karnataka, conceived to ensure better amenities to the tourists, is set to go online in a bid to reduce paperwork and minimise the lead time for approval.
The online portal ‘’Namma Smaraka’’ will be launched by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru on Monday, September 25. The Commissioner of Archaeology Museums and Heritage A. Devaraju said that the ‘’Digital Vedike’’ portal will have all details pertaining to the scheme and enable the corporate companies to download the forms and upload the expression of interest and this will pave way for early approval of the adoption.
The digital platform has been created by Kalki foundation and the department has listed about 280 monuments which is up for adoption and the scanned data has been uploaded to the platform for reference, Mr. Devaraju added.
