Osmania University Arts College to get first-ever chemical restoration

In a bid to conserve and preserve the historic Osmania University Arts College building, a chemical treatment on the pinkish-hued granite has been proposed.

This is being planned to restore the past glory of the structure, which stood the test of time. The pinkish-hue colour on the granite faded over the past several decades. In addition, pan and gutka stains on the walls of the building have become an eyesore.

The proposed treatment by the Telangana Heritage department will address



both the discolouration and surface stains, restoring the appeal of one of Telangana’s iconic buildings.

“We have proposed to undertake the chemical treatment on the Arts College building, which has lost its aesthetic over time. 

We are tapping funds from under the corporate social responsibility from the MNCs to commence the works, which will be first of its kind since the building inauguration,” Prof Arjun Rao Kuthadi, Director, Telangana Heritage department, told ” Media.
