In an effort to boost sports and culture, a recreational complex for citizens will soon be thrown open at Ghatkopar’s Garodia Nagar. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between two non-profit organisations, Micro Tech Global Foundation (MTGF) and Rasika Ranjani Sabha (RRS) yesterday at the complex.

Both the organisations work for charitable purposes covering culture, sports, education, health and other welfare activities for the general public.

The complex will house several facilities such as a yoga centre, library, recreation hall, programme centre and indoor sports. A walking track as well as a parking lot will also be provided at the complex.

RRS, a cultural organisation in Mumbai’s eastern suburbs, founded in 1971, propagates fine arts and cultural activities and has been conducting education and training classes for Bharat Natyam, vocal music and instrumental music. With the MOU, RRS now intends to expand its scope in sports and health as well.


The activities are expected to start immediately and the organisers intend to provide the facilities, which are open to all either at subsidized cost or free of cost.
