Contending that the State government’s ambitious Cauvery Arati programme would create a lot of employment opportunities, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Monday sought people’s co-operation in the government’s plans for the Arati programme at the Krishnaraja Sagar.
Addressing a gathering at the Brindavan Gardens here after offering ‘bagina’ to the KRS, Mr. Shivakumar said the Cauvery Arati programme will create employment opportunities for about 1,500 people from Mandya and Mysuru.
He urged the people to join hands with the government in the programme. A video showing the blueprint of the Cauvery Arati programme at the KRS was shown at the event.
Mr. Shivakumar said the government was also planning to make the Brindavan Gardens, which is already a major tourist destination, more attractive by taking up development works.
The fountains and gardens will be given a major facelift, he said, adding that the government was also inviting private investors.
About 3,500 new job opportunities will be created if the development of the Brindavan Gardens is taken up, he added.
