The building of the Madras Veterinary College at Vepery, a two-storied Indo-Saracenic structure, which remains neglected, is likely to regain its glory as the state government has allotted funds for its restoration and conservation.
“The total allocation is Rs 19.4 crore and the amount would be used for repair and restoration of all the buildings on the campus. The conservation of the main heritage building would be undertaken at a cost of Rs 4.46 crore,” said S. Kuppusamy, Estate officer of the University.
He said the Heritage Division of the Public Works Department (PWD) would undertake the work.
