Heritage Building Restoration Gets Green Light, Preserving City’s History

The historic Neelkanth Mansion, a colonial era building dating back to the 19th century, has received a major restoration grant. The ₹5 crore grant, funded by the Ministry of Culture, will be used for repairing the facade, reinforcing the structural integrity, and restoring the interior to its original grandeur. Experts say that the restoration will not only preserve an important piece of architectural history but also promote heritage tourism. Local businesses hope the project will attract more visitors to the historic district, contributing to the economy.
