There are plans afoot to house the Centre of Excellence for Studies in Classical Kannada (CESCK) in the century-old Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion on the Manasagangotri campus of the University of Mysore.
Though the idea is yet to gain traction Mysuru MP Pratap Simha is pushing for it and said that the move will give an impetus to the conservation of the heritage structure as also serve the purpose of housing the classical language centre.
‘’Not only will have a readily available building for the CESCK, the existing folklore museum is also a related subject pertaining to language and tradition of the State and hence will be an ideal combination’’, said Mr. Simha who made a site visit on Thursday.
