The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has proposed a modern community centre in Gomti Nagar Extension with an estimated cost of ₹20 crore to improve social and recreational facilities, according to an official press release issued on Tuesday.
Prathamesh Kumar, LDA vice chairman, has directed officials to invite a Request for Proposal (RFP) under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to speed up execution. Officials said private participation is expected to support efficient construction and long-term upkeep.
Manvendra Singh, LDA chief engineer, said the project will come up near Saraswati Apartments in Sector 4 on a 2,900 square metre plot. The plan includes a three storey building with basement parking.
The proposed centre will have a multipurpose hall and lawn for events, along with a kitchen and dining space. It will also include eight rooms and two suites for accommodation during functions.
Facilities for fitness and recreation such as a gym, yoga centre, indoor games area, cafeteria and a swimming pool are part of the plan. Officials said the centre is aimed at serving as a hub for community activities.
The project also includes solar panels on the rooftop to reduce electricity use and support energy efficiency.
