Ayodhya: The Uttar Pradesh Government has taken a major decision towards establishing Ayodhya as a global cultural and spiritual centre. In the State Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the scope of the proposed world-class ‘Temple Museum’ in collaboration with ‘Tata Sons’ has been further expanded. Giving information about this decision, State Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna said that this step will give a new cultural identity to Ayodhya and will generate employment on a large scale.
He explained that the project was originally proposed on 25 acres of Nazul land in Manjha Jamthara village in Ayodhya. However, considering the museum’s grandeur and world-class character, Tata Sons requested more land. Now, a total of 52,102 acres will be allocated for the project, including the 25 acres of Nazul land previously allocated.
In addition, 27.102 acres of land has been added. This total of 52.102 acres will be transferred free of charge from the Housing and Urban Planning Department to the Tourism Department to expand the project. The land will be made available to Tata Sons for 90 years.
