| '''Sir M. Visveshwaraya Stn., Central College''' is a station in the [[Purple Line (Namma Metro)|Purple Line]] of the [[Namma Metro]] in [[Bangalore]], India, opened to the public on 30 April 2016.
| |
| | |
| The station acquires its name from the nearby [[University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering]], which had been named after [[M.

| ==History==
| | {{Redirect category shell| |
| The Sir M. Visveshwaraya metro station, like all other underground stations on the Purple Line, was built using the [[cut-and-cover]] method.<ref>{{cite web|title=Conducted 10,000 blasts to cut hard rocks: BMRCL|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/542956/conducted-10000-blasts-cut-hard.html|website=Deccan Herald|accessdate=26 April 2016}}</ref> The station is located at a depth of 60 feet. Authorities carried out 1,200 controlled blasts to dig through the tough rock structure.<ref>{{cite web|title=Blasting was done 1,200 times to build Central College Metro station|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/blasting-was-done-1200-times-to-build-central-college-metro-station/articleshow/56490352.cms|website=The Times of India|accessdate=13 January 2017}}</ref>
