Canada-based LEA International Agency, experts in urban development, has submitted the first interim report to the Karnataka government on all-round development of Raichur city, with focus on the conservation and preservation of historically significant traditions, culture, heritage and symbols.
“I have gone through the report. I have suggested some changes. I will take the second report, and discuss the same with the Chief Minister and Urban development Minister shortly,” Minor Irrigation, Science and Technology Minister N. S. Boseraju said in Bengaluru on Tuesday July 25.
Mr Boseraju spoke to mediapersons after a detailed discussion with LEA International agency on the first interim report.
“It has remodelled many world famous cities. It is also given valuable inputs to the Department of Public Works on road design keeping safety in mind,” the Science and Technology Minister said.

He said Raichur — a prominent city in Kalyana Karnataka region — was earlier under the Nizam rule, and has its own special and unique features.
“The task entrusted to LEA International was to modernise Raichur city while retaining its basic culture and heritage. We need to raise Raichur to a global level without losing its intrinsic identity,” Mr Boseraju explained.
