Besides the Complex will also provide the large number of schools located in the South , a venue for training without being hampered by the vagaries of weather, in a secured environment, at a concessionary rate.
Land is reserved for a swimming pool. This is in the second stage and depends largely on the successful operation of generating the required funds for the pool . There will be a fast-food outlet, Kola kande stall, and a mini-market functioning to cater to all participants who need not go far to have their refreshments, food , and other needs.
The entire budgetary estimate is around Rs. 50 million out of which Rs. 36 million will go to complete the indoor complex to be built entirely with Fabricated Steel structures as per modern designs and attractive finishes. The complex will have a V.I.P. Box and can accommodate around two thousand people.
