Mysore/Mysuru: N.R. MLA Tanveer Sait said that he will extend all help for the construction of Vishwakarma Samudaya Bhavan in the city.

He was speaking after inaugurating Vishwakarma Jayanti celebrations organised by the District Administration in association with Kannada and Culture Department and Sri Viswhakarma Jayanti Acharana Samiti at Kalamandira on Hunsur road here on Sunday.

Pointing out that there is Soligara Bhavan and Uppara Bhavan in N.R. Constituency, Sait said that efforts are being made to allot a CA site for Gold and Silver Jewellery Manufacturers Association. Noting that the State Government is officially celebrating Jayantis of 52 great personalities, he said that the Government is considering to nominate members of micro communities, who find it hard to win elections, to the Legislative Council.

Calling his N.R. Constituency as mini-Bharat, as it is a mix of all communities, castes and religions, Sait observed that the conduct of Jayantis will provide a platform for submitting the developmental demands of communities to the Government.

 Sait also called for unity among the community for getting Government benefits and facilities.

Chamaraja MLA K. Harish-gowda, who presided, said that the Siddharamaiah Government will stand by Vishwakarma community members in the fulfillment of their just demands.
