Gangothri Layout gets a Library

August 25, 2022

Mysore/Mysuru: The city got one more Library today with MP Pratap Simha and MLA L. Nagendra jointly inaugurating it at Gangotri Layout here this morning. The branch  library of Mysuru Central Library, is located opposite Putteeramma School on Bisilu Maramma temple road in Gangothri Layout.

The library is housed in the building constructed at a cost of Rs.40 lakh on a MUDA CA (Civic Amenities) site measuring 270 Sq.Mtrs, which was leased out for 30 years for running the Public Library.

In 2009, Gangothri Layout Residents Welfare Association President Kattera A. Kariappa and other office-bearers had remitted Rs.1.46 lakh to MUDA for the CA site to construct the library at a cost of Rs.25 lakh under JnNurm Scheme. But due to some reasons, the construction got delayed, following which the Association collected Rs.4 lakh from the residents and the matter was brought to the notice of MLA  Nagendra and the local area Corporator Vedavathi.

Thanks to the initiatives of MCC, MUDA and Library Department authorities, the Library building has been completed at a cost of Rs. 40 lakh, with collective funding from citizens, MLA Local Area Development grants and other funds.

The library has about 4,000 books with adequate seating arrangements for readers. Besides, about 30 prominent dailies and 40 magazines are available to the readers.

Former MUDA Chairman C. Basavegowda, Association President K.A. Kariappa, other office-bearers, Cor-porator Vedavathi, Department of Libraries Director Dr. S. Satishkumar Hosamani and others were present.

    Is that the MP Simha with a T shirt displaying ” Harley Davidson”? What a fool he is, displaying a motor bike name which no average Indian can buy in his life time! Anyway this bike brand has failed as better Japanese models came to the fore. Indeed , Japanese bought this company when this Harley Davidson company was sliding into a hole.
    Why can’t he wear a Dasara 2022 T shirt., which should have been ready by now?
    Libraries like these are under intense pressure of buying books by certain authors, who using their influence push their books-yes, money it is!
