“Suvarna Soudha on Rent” – yes this could be the new board seen soon. The PWD will soon decide on renting out conference halls for academic activities like convocations, seminars and also corporate organisations to hold their general body meetings or conferences. This in-turn would generate some revenue. The PWD spends around 10 crores a year for annual maintenance and about 10 days a year are utilised for sessions. For the first time the Monsoon session was held recently.
The government is also keen to develop the spot as a tourist attraction to generate revenue by developing a theme park on the lines of the world famous Brindavan Gardens.
Instead of renting it out, why cant they shift some offices here so that its utilized whole year round.??? Now they ll rent, later they ll say that they cannot hold any session here as it is rented out and again Belgaum will not have any attention from Govt…. I am also sure that opposition is 100% agreeable to this.. coz any loss of Belgaum is Hubli’s profit… now he would take all the major projects and development works to Hubli…
