20-crore Cultural Complex to come up in City

                    The State government has created a proposal to build a multi-storied cultural complex in the city. A land at Golconda and Durgam Cheruvu, Secret Lake were also considered for the Complex . But  It finally settled to the three-acre strip near Sanjeevaiah Park close to railway tracks. 
           The estimated cost of the  complex would be Rs 20 crore .The govt is Working on a scheme to involve NRI's as well as resident Indian's for the construction of the complex. The Council for the work  would seek Rs 1 crore assistance from the central government and a similar amount from the State. The remaining Rs 18 crore would be raised from the private sources.

                 The complex would have four major components. The first would be a museum depicting to cultural history of the Telugus. The works of eminent painters, sculptors would find place in the museum. A theatre for experimental drama would also be constructed as a part of the complex where amateur artistes would be given a chance to demonstrate their talents. The other important part of the complex would be a permanent art gallery. Painters representing all schools, old and new, would be able to show their work there. The fourth component would be documentation center containing cultural history on audio and video cassettes and CD's.
