Amir-ud-Daula Library to house museum on Munshi Naval Kishore
Lucknow: The historic Amir-ud-Daula Library in Kaiserbagh will soon house a museum dedicated to Munshi Naval Kishore-- one of India's most iconic publishers. The project, estimated to cost around Rs 2 crore, was presented to Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) chairperson and divisional commissioner Roshan Jacob on Thursday. The museum will showcase vintage items, including rare printing machines, original records, period garments and sculptures. It will also feature interactive display units and soundscaping for an immersive visitor experience. A section of the library will be transformed to house the museum, honouring Naval Kishore, who established a printing press in 1858 and published over 5,000 titles across multiple languages, including Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Bengali, Sanskrit and English. Jacob directed officials to give the museum a heritage look. "It should reflect the city's rich legacy and connect people emotionally with its cultural and literary history," she said. LDA vice chairman Prathamesh Kumar said: "This initiative will not only preserve the literary and printing heritage of Naval Kishore but also give Lucknow a new cultural landmark. It will inspire generations about the power of the written word and India's publishing history." As part of the project, the library will also be upgraded to international standards. Enhancements at the entry point and installation of sculptures will be undertaken to boost public engagement and footfall. The presentation was attended by LDA secretary Vivek Srivastava, chief engineer Navneet Sharma and a team of architects and officials.

Janeshwar Mishra Park to give city the thrills, adventure rides
Are you looking for some adrenaline rush? If so, and provided that you live in the city, then you do not have to look far and wide, as Janeshwar Mishra Park (JMP) in Gomti Nagar may soon become your perfect getaway. Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has set the ball rolling for a 15-metre-high multi-activity tower for adventure sports near JMP's Gate 4. The facility, when in operation, is likely to offer activities such as zip-line, sky-cycling, wall climbing and bungee jumping. Also, rifle shooting, archery, roller-coaster ride, giant swing and bull ride may entice the thrill-seekers. LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar inspected the park on Wednesday and directed officials to complete the project within three months. Spread across 1.5 acres, the zone will also include two canteens and paved pathways to ensure easy access for visitors. The project aims to provide the townsfolk with more recreational options and attract tourists by turning the park into an adventure hub. Also, LDA will build a new pedestrian bridge over the water body, connecting the rose garden and the national flag area. During the inspection, Kumar noted that visitors currently face inconvenience due to the long detour. He asked for an attractive bridge design to be prepared by a consultant. Kumar also expressed dissatisfaction with poor cleanliness in the park. He reprimanded the officials concerned and summoned a report from the agency responsible. Meanwhile, to enhance the city's riverfront experience, LDA is developing a food court near Marine Drive along the Gomti Riverfront. Ten shops are being constructed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Kumar instructed that the work be completed within a month so that the food court can be opened to the public at the earliest. In addition to land-based activities, the city is also gearing up to offer water sports. LDA is conducting trial runs of jet skis, speed boats, and motor boats at the Laxman Mela site on the Gomti. During his inspection, the VC directed the agency concerned to prioritise public safety and ensure that basic facilities like a food kiosk, office/waiting area, and proper parking were made available before the launch of full operations.
