Hyderabad: Emphasizing that Hyderabad is renowned for its ‘Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb’ and the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy noted that Telangana is rich in thousands of years of history, culture, and traditions.
Speaking at the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park, located on the Qutb Shahi Tombs premises, during the completion ceremony of the park’s restoration—an initiative undertaken jointly by the State government and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture—he highlighted the unique cultural contributions of rulers from the Satavahanas to the Qutb Shahis.
“Telangana is home to architectural marvels such as the Charminar, Golconda Fort, Qutb Shahi Tombs, Thousand Pillar Temple, Ramappa Temple, and Alampur Temple,” Revanth Reddy said. He noted that the Heritage Park and the seven Tombs are evidence of the Nizam dynasty’s architectural prowess and cultural richness.
“My government is committed to preserving Telangana’s culture and heritage and showcasing them on the world stage,” he added, highlighting Telangana’s pride in having the Ramappa Temple recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Earlier in the day, the Chief Minister met with representatives of the Hare Rama Hare Krishna Foundation to discuss the establishment of a semi-residential school as a pilot project in Kodangal. A centralized kitchen is being set up to provide breakfast and lunch to 28,000 school students in Kodangal constituency. The construction of the kitchen has already begun in Kodangal town and will be managed by the Hare Rama Hare Krishna Charitable Foundation using CSR funds. The Chief Minister plans to launch the pilot project in Kodangal once the kitchen is completed.
He also proposed conducting a study to explore the statewide implementation of this project.
