Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is focused on preserving Hyderabad’s rich history by restoring its ancient structures. One of the key projects is the revitalization of several historic stepwells in the city. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has pledged its support to help with the restoration.
In a meeting at the Secretariat, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, along with Minister Jupally Krishna Rao and other government officials, discussed the restoration plans with CII Telangana Council members. Several companies have signed agreements with the state’s tourism department to take part in these restoration efforts.
The Chief Minister stressed the importance of protecting Hyderabad’s historical landmarks and invited industrialists to get involved in preserving the city’s cultural heritage. He mentioned that restoring the stepwells would not only protect history but also attract more tourists to the region.
Revanth Reddy also shared the government’s larger plans to clean up the Musi River and turn the surrounding areas into tourist destinations. He noted that the Old Assembly building is being restored and will soon be used for legislative council activities.
The Chief Minister urged CII to take up the responsibility of preserving Jubilee Hall, a building of great historical significance. He also highlighted other important heritage sites that need safeguarding, including Osmania General Hospital, the High Court, City College, and the Purana Pul Bridge.
Several companies have already taken steps to help with the stepwell restoration. Infosys will restore the Mahalakha stepwell at Osmania University, while a Life Sciences company will work on the Manchirevula stepwell. Bharat Biotech is set to restore the Salar Jung and Ammappalli stepwells, Dodla Dairy will revive the Adikmet stepwell, TSRTC will restore the Falaknuma stepwell, and the Women’s College in Koti will take charge of the Residency stepwell.
This partnership between the government and industries aims to preserve Hyderabad’s architectural heritage for future generations while boosting tourism in the city.
