Sarvajna Kshetra Development Authority Act, 2020

General202044 sections3 chapters

This legislation establishes the Sarvajna Kshetra Development Authority to preserve, develop, and promote historical sites associated with the famous poet Sarvajna in Karnataka's Haveri district. It applies to public bodies, local residents, tourists, and private developers operating within the designated heritage area. By granting the Authority land acquisition powers, urban planning oversight, and control over tourism infrastructure, the Act restricts unauthorized construction and regulates local development schemes. This law matters because it safeguards regional cultural heritage, unearths ancient monuments, and creates organized public facilities to transform historical pilgrimage sites into prominent centers for literature, research, and international tourism.
