The State Government has finalized five monuments under the Adopt a Monument scheme announced by the Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in his Budget presentation earlier this year.
The five monuments – approved for the first phase of the project - have been pruned from a larger list of 30 for adoption and this includes Gagan Mahal at Anegundi in Koppal district, Tajbavadi (Bavi) at Vijayapura, Koppal Fort in Koppal district, Raja’s Tomb at Madikeri and Srirangapatana Fort at Srirangapatana in Mandya district.
A. Devaraju, Commissioner, Department of Archaeology Museums and Heritage, told The Hindu that the government has cleared the project including the terms and conditions apart from the guidelines for adoption for which the GO was issued recently.
