Project Andaaz-E-Awadh: What All Is Planned For Lucknow?

Roshan Jacob, the divisional commissioner for Lucknow and the chairperson of the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA), has established a heritage committee to oversee the work being done in the heritage zone. In the old city, a heritage corridor is emerging between Kaiserbagh and Hussainabad.

The committee was established to make sure that the projects under the Smart City and Heritage Zone projects are finished on schedule. Retired IAS officer Zohra Chatterjee, Dr. Vandana Sehgal, dean of the art and planning department at Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, conservation architect Antara Sharma, Meera Ali, Shikha Jain, and Ravi Bhatt make up the committee.

Andaaz-E-Awadh:

In addition to beautifying the existing parks, crossroads, and roads in the heritage zone, Project Andaaz-e-Awadh aims to create new tourist destinations inside the heritage stretch.

1. The heritage corridor that is developing between Kaiserbagh and Hussainabad will preserve Lucknow's legacy while offering a variety of breathtaking vistas. It will offer more than just a taste of Lucknow's art, culture, and civilisation. In addition, visitors will be able to sample some of its well-known cuisine.

2. Hussainabad has seen the opening of a food court that cost Rs 9.75 crore to construct. The food court's ground floor presently houses five of the city's most renowned eateries. Construction of the Museum Block, which would cost Rs 21.61 crore, is now underway. Additionally, the museum is building a tourist facilitation centre with LED displays showing snippets of the state's history.

3. In addition, the Begum Hazrat Mahal Park in Hazratganj is undergoing renovations, and the Butler Palace Complex in the Hazratganj region will shortly undergo conservation and restoration.
