Housing and Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian, along with MLA Daljit Singh Bhola Grewal, inaugurated a modern Community Club, Senior Citizen Club, and Computer and Sewing Centres in Sector 32, Ludhiana, on a 1.826-acre site along the Ludhiana-Samrala-Chandigarh road. Developed by GLADA, these facilities are designed to promote social inclusion, community engagement, and welfare for the elderly, while also providing skill-building opportunities for the youth and women.
Addressing the gathering, Minister Mundian stated that the two-floor building, constructed at a cost of Rs 5.17 crores, is strategically located next to the Mother and Child Hospital and a police station. Designed to accommodate over 525 people at a time, the facility features a multipurpose hall, a computer centre, a sewing centre, a senior citizen club, a reception area, toilet blocks, kitchens, a green room, and additional rooms.
He also informed that the RCC-framed structure includes a staircase connecting the two floors, as well as comprehensive amenities such as water supply, sewer systems, fire safety measures, electrical installations, public health provisions, and landscaped gardens. Minister Mundian emphasized Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's commitment to public welfare, stating, "These facilities are a significant step toward community development, offering residents essential services and recreational spaces."
Meanwhile, MLA Grewal expressed gratitude towards the government for dedicating the building to the people of Ludhiana. He noted that this state-of-the-art facility reflects the government's vision of creating inclusive spaces that uplift every segment of society. He mentioned that the Community Club will serve as a hub for cultural programs, weddings, and social gatherings, fostering a sense of belonging at a very nominal rental fee.
The Senior Citizen Club aims to ensure the well-being and dignity of the elderly, while the Computer and Sewing Centres empower youth and women through skill development. Prominent amongst those present at the inauguration included GLADA Chief Administrator Sandeep Kumar, several municipal councillors, and other dignitaries.
