The state government has approved a budget of Rs 27 crore for this project, which will include the development of a museum, a hall, and other related facilities. It is expected to be completed within three years.
According to the state assembly deputy chief whip and Amreli legislator Kaushik Vekariya, the palace is over 170 years old. A proposal was submitted to the state government for its renovation and development as a museum.
