For this initiative, Mr. David a renowned industrialist donated Rs. 50,00,000 on 1st July 2020, for the construction of a new hostel and mess for upcoming sportsmen.

The chartered accountant visited the office of the Non-profit organization (NPO) on 31st March 2021 and found that till date Rs. 35,00,000 had been spent on construction of hostel and mess building.
