Social Welfare Minister and Bengaluru Rural district in-charge Minister K.H. Muniyappa performed the bhoomi puja for a Mahatma Gandhi statue at the District Administration Building premises.
The project aims to keep Gandhi’s ideals alive and introduce his message to younger generations.
Speaking on the occasion, Muniyappa said Gandhi’s role in India’s freedom struggle, his life, and his principles continue to inspire people. He said everyone has a responsibility to pass these values to the next generation. The statue at the administration building would help people remember Gandhi’s contribution and understand his ideals, he added.
The statue will be eight feet tall, with a four-foot bronze figure placed on a four-foot stone pedestal. Muniyappa directed officials to complete the construction work quickly. District Collector Dr. K.N. Anuradha, CEO Vasanti Amar, local representatives, and officials attended the programme. The initiative is expected to create a lasting reminder of Gandhi’s values and encourage younger citizens to learn from his life and principles.
