PMC Proposes ₹54.51 Crore Divyang Bhavan In New Panvel

The Panvel Municipal Corporation, the local government that runs the city of Panvel, has an idea to build a new special building in New Panvel.

The building is called a Divyang Bhavan, which means a home for people with disabilities.

It will be a one-stop centre where people with disabilities can get many kinds of help in one place.

Doctors will provide medical care and physiotherapy to make bodies stronger.

People can also get counselling, education, and training to learn new skills.

The goal is to help them live more independent lives.

The building will cost about ₹54.51 crore to build, which is a lot of money.

The city had set aside ₹40 crore for such services, which is not enough.

So, the work will be done in phases over time.

First, the plan needs to be approved by the city's general body meeting.
