Anuradha Naik the daughter of cardiologist Dr. Sudhir Naik who established cardiology unit in Osmania General Hospital has played important role in projects of renovation of several historical buildings including Chowmahalla Palace, High Court, Osmania General Hospital’s Afzal garden, Machli Market, Begum Bazar, Domakunda and Nizam Museum.
