Bengaluru's Jayanagar neighborhood, the country's first planned neighborhood, celebrated its 75th anniversary. The neighborhood was built in 1948 by the City Improvement Trust Board (CITB), now known as the Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA). The iconic Ashoka Pillar, now an entry point to Jayanagar, was laid by India's first Governor-General, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari. Over the years, Jayanagar has become a core area of Bengaluru, known for its high property values and educational institutions. The origin of the neighborhood's name, Jayanagar, remains a mystery.https://ift.tt/7LwvTHZ
