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.
Panvel Municipal Corporation has proposed a ₹54.51 crore Divyang Bhavan in New Panvel for persons with disabilities.
The facility is planned as a one-stop centre offering education, vocational training, rehabilitation, counselling and medical services.
The proposal will be placed before the upcoming general body meeting for administrative and financial approval.
The estimated cost exceeds the ₹40 crore budget provision for 2025-26 and 2026-27, so the project will be implemented in phases.
An architectural consultancy has been appointed, and the detailed estimate is being processed for technical approval.
