Unity Mall, which is coming up in Mysuru to house local artisans, is expected to be ready by 2027, said MP for Mysuru Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar.
Speaking to reporters after visiting the project site at Dasara exhibition grounds, he said the project from the Centre was being carried out at a cost of ₹193 crore. It will boost tourism development in Mysuru, he added.
“It’s a kind of a mall but it only supports local artisans and their products, farmers, and others to strengthen the Make in India goals. It is an initiative to protect the country’s diversity and give opportunities to those who have been driving the vision of Make in India,” he said.
Mr. Yaduveer said the Unity Mall will encourage “one district, one product” and support rural artisans, creating jobs for the locals. The initiative gives more visibility like in Tamil Nadu and Gujarat where the Centre’s vision is being realised.
Another wrestling complex is also coming up in the project area to encourage traditional wrestling, he said, adding that the Unity Mall’s structural design will support the city’s heritage.
Steps have also been taken to retain greenery in the project, Mr. Yaduveer added.
