The Mahakavi G. Memorial planned in Kochi has been included in the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) project, it was decided at a State-level high-power committee meeting on Friday, the Kochi Corporation informed. The memorial project remained a non-starter although the State government had allotted land to the corporation for the purpose. It was included under the AMRUT project after taking away a ‘non-implementable’ venture from its fold and on the basis of a design readied by architect S. Gopakumar. The Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) has agreed to provide land for building an access road to the memorial, Mayor M. Anilkumar said. A sum of ₹1.80 crore of the ₹3-crore project is expected to be raised from AMRUT, and ₹50 lakh from the People’s Planning Scheme, while ₹70 lakh will be contributed by the Kochi Corporation. Tenders will shortly be floated.More Related News
