The Haryana government has approved a Rs 40 crore budget to excavate the historic Agroha Dham, according to a ministerial statement.
The state cabinet of Haryana has cleared a fund of Rs 40 crore for the archaeological excavation of Agroha Dham, a site revered for its links to the ancient Agrasena community. The allocation was disclosed by a senior minister during a press briefing, indicating that the money will be channelled through the state's archaeology department.
The excavation aims to uncover and preserve relics that could shed light on the region's early civilization, while also developing the area as a pilgrimage and tourism destination. Officials said the project will be executed in phases, with initial surveys and groundwork slated to begin within the next few months.
The move reflects Haryana's broader effort to promote its cultural heritage and generate economic activity in the Hisar district, where Agroha is located. The minister emphasized that the funding underscores the government's commitment to heritage conservation and community development.
