Atma Gaurava Bhavans, a novel concept of the Telangana government for constructing buildings for all castes, aimed at their social, cultural and educational upliftment, are likely to take longer to complete. (‘Atma Gauravam’ translates to self-respect)
Of the 41 such bhavans taken up by the Backward Classes Welfare Department, buildings meant for Yadavs and Kuruma communities (both BC) are nearing completion. According to senior officials, the remaining 39 bhavans are either in the stage of finalising architectural designs or are inviting tenders.
The same is the case with Christian Bhavan, meant for Christian minorities, for which the foundation stone was laid on December 12 last year. The government allotted two acres in Uppal Bhagayat along with sanctioning ₹10 crore for the construction and, in fact, had even released ₹1.5 crore.
