The ministry of culture has come up with National Mission on Cultural Mapping (NMCM) program for which Deshanur village from Belagavi is also selected.

Union Minister of Culture G Kishan Reddy informed the Lok Sabha informed the same.

Others from Karnataka are Mattur in Shivamogga, Vidurashwatha in Chikkaballapura, and Akkigund from Gadag.

According to Reddy, the ministry aims to develop an e-commerce platform of all the historical facts of the villagers. Besides this, the ministry also aims to keep a national register and interactive database of artists and art practices from the villages of India, National directories of artists and art practices, and Unique identification codes for the artists.
