In addition, the project will feature two fully equipped conference halls, each with a seating capacity of approximately 100 people, to host meetings, workshops, training programmes, and public interaction sessions.

The partnership with NBCC (India) Ltd, a Government of India enterprise known for executing landmark infrastructure projects across the country, is expected to ensure high standards of quality, timely execution, and modern architectural design.
The upcoming auditorium and community centre is expected to emerge as a major social and cultural hub for residents of Shalimar Bagh and adjoining areas.
The facility will provide a dedicated platform for educational institutions, resident welfare associations, cultural organisations, social groups and government departments to conduct a wide range of programmes and activities in a professional and well-equipped environment.
