The Telangana State Government has sanctioned and released Rs 25 crore to establish a tribal museum and memorial in honour of Komaram Bheem, a Gond tribal leader from Adilabad district.
Komaram Bheem, who opposed the diktats of the Nizam rulers of Hyderabad and died at the young age of 40, finally gets due recognition from the new Telangana Government.
The musuem and memorial will be set up at Jodeghat in Adilabad district, where he was born in the early part of the 20th century. In 2009, a decision was taken by the then Cong(I) Government in united AP to erect a statue of the leader on Tank Bund in Hyderabad.
The Chief Minister, K Chandrasekhara Rao, while participating in Komaram Bheem Martyrdom anniversary on Wednesday had announced that the government would develop the museum and memorial.
The tribal leader, who died at 40 fought the Asaf Jahi rulers of Hyderabad. He gave the slogan 'Jal, Jungle, Jameen' ( water, forests, land) to highlight the rights of the people living in forests for the rights on forest resources.
