STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Act 20 of 1976 .- The Mythic Society, Bangalore was a body registered under the Societies Registration Act and founded in 1909. It was formed for promoting the study and research in Indology, Archaeology, Anthropology, Architecture, Art, Ethnology and allied subjects in the State of Karnataka. The Society acquired a good library, a number of rare and valuable manuscripts and literary works which are of immense value for the promotion of its objects. These were being made use of by the members of the Society and the public who are interested in the subjects mentioned above. Among the eminent persons who were associated with the Society either as office bearers or otherwise were Dr. Morris Traverse, Rev. Fr. A.M. Tabard, Rao Bhadur M. Shama Rao, Dewam Sir Mirza Ismail, Dewan Sri. N. Madhava Rao, Sri. C.V. Raman, Dr. A. Ramaswamy Mudaliar, Prof. A.R. Wadia and Sir M. Visveswaraiah. The Society was granted a free site in January 1916 by the then Government subject to certain conditions. A State grant of Rs. 10,000 towards construction of the building for the Society was also made at the same time. It was with this that the building in which the Society was housed was built. Of late the management of the Society fell into disarray. Portions of the land granted to it by the State Government were alienated to others for purposes unconnected with the Society. The safety of the rare collections also was endangered. The original objectives of the Society were not being adhered to. Public interest for the promotion of which the Society was founded would be in jeopardy if such activities were not checked. The matter being urgent and the State Legislature was not in session the Mythic Society (Dissolution and Management) Ordinance, 1975 was promulgated. This Bill is to replace the said ordinance.
