The Main Hall and Cellar portions are about 80% ready and our offices have been operating from this Building since July 2011. All doors, windows are in position, granite flooring of the Main Hall and the cellar (including a kitchenette, wash room and toilet) is completed. Electrical wiring of the entire building is over, with lights and fans ready to be fitted. Water supply and plumbing works are ready to be commissioned as soon as permission is granted by the local authorities. Staircase room and steps right from Cellar to the present roof of the building have also been granite- paved and ready for use. A recent photo taken at the time of the 22^nd Annual General Body Meeting in June 2011 should give you an idea of the progress we have been talking of.

But then what is holding us up from 100% completion of the Building? Funds, funds and funds, that is all! There is a serious shortage of incoming funds and work can go on only in bits and pieces, so to speak! And that is where you, as our site-visitor, please help us by donating generously!

As you can see from the accompanying photos, the roof of the cellar portion has been cast and after a 3week-long period of curing, facilitated by intermittent rains, the centering has also been removed. Next thing is to build the walls for the cellar and we have a "roof on our heads"! Whether or not we will be able to build the main hall above the cellar, we are determined to have the next Annual General Body Meeting in our own premises - tentatively, on the 9^th November 2008!

 

The Bhavana Building work has made some progress as you can see from the attached photos.

Excavation for that part of the Bhavan's Building which would house our Office and a Meeting Hall has been completed and the actual marking for the columns and foundation bed is to be taken up shortly. 

Our main project for the immediate future is to get a site allotted from the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) at reasonable rate and start with building of a Badaganadu Bhavana.

The Bhavana shall comprise the following entities that will help the Balaga serve members of the Badaganadu Community better.

• Office Building and Meeting Hall for Balaga’s use
• Multi-utility Hall for public use
• Hostel to accommodate 20-30 students
• Lecture Rooms to enable conducting classes in Tailoring, Hindi, Ashtanga Yoga , Computer usage, Health camps, etc for all interested members
• A small Library and Reading Room
