About The Project:

This Recreation shelter situated at around 10 kilometers from our office in Kukatpally, Prashanthi Nagar colony, Hyderabad-072, is useful to around 400 senior citizens and 500 children in the nearby residential colonies.

This shelter can be used for recreation, news paper reading & meetings of senior citizen and also for the recreational and learning activities, like Yoga, Summer Coaching classes for the children.
