Premavati, part of the twin memorials erected in the 17th century by Abdullah Qutb Shah, could be a probable location for the centre. Last year, the then Tourism Minister, Mr Talasani Srinivasa Yadav, had announced plans to develop the Premavati monument along with the Taramati Baradari. The corporation developed the latter site at a cost of Rs 6 crore and opened the same for events and parties last year. The overall plan was to develop a 13-acre plot surrounding Premavati monument as a culture village. According to Mr L.K. Kishore of MARCH, the proposed Deccani Convention Centre is likely to be taken up at a cost of Rs 40 crore. The feasibility report would be ready in a month.
