New Project

On 12th Oct. the Governing body of the Pratishthana met and took a final decision regarding the construction of a new building hosting a Library, Guest House and Audio-Visual Hall.
Considering the major resources at the hands of the Pratishthana it is decided to complete this project in stages. I am enclosing the proposal received from the architects and of these the one regarding hexagonal building has been accepted. As the details mentioned therein show the first stage (library) will require about Rs. 15 lacs; and the project including guest rooms will cost works out to about Rs. 25 lacs. The construction of an audio-visual hall on 2nd floor would require an additional amount of Rs. 10 lacs. The details are as follows:

Proposal: Hexagonal Structure-

4Third Floor AV hall 1800 sqft 550/-  9,90,000/-
34,70,000/-

10 lacs would at the present conversion rate mean $25,000/-.
