Library at the Veer Soudha Tilakwadi (Congress Well) was inaugurated recently by MLA South Sambhaji Patil. The library has a rare collection of nearly 300 books on freedom fighters and Gandhi.
Veer Soudha is the memorial built to commemorate the 1924 congress session held at Belgaum where Mahatma Gandhi was the president of the Congress.
The built up area on ground floor of the library will be 870.27 Sqft.The estimates cost of the project is Rs.16,64,815 and the work has been finished on time.
In February 2012, we had made a story Library to be built at Veer Soudha.
More books will be added to the library which will will be open from 8am to 2pm and from 4pm to 8pm. It will remain open on Sunday, but will be closed on Monday.
Nice work though but its very far from the city so advantageous for that side of belgaum people…
any way we need to make use of this opportunity…
