 "Jaipur coaching hub")
The work on the construction of a one-of-a-kind multipurpose coaching hub in Pratapnagar is going on at full pace, a Rajasthan Housing Board (RHB) official said.
The hub — coming up in two phases — is planned on 67,000 square meters with a capacity to coach approximately 70,000 students.
While five towers are planned in the first phase, three more will come up in the second round. Each floor of the institutional building will have 5,000 to 14,000 square feet of carpet area, which will be sold to coaching institutions.
In the first phase, 70 of 140 units have been allotted to various educational institutions. Of the 90 commercial units, 53 have been allotted, along with two residential units and one mixed unit.
To cater to the needs of children under the coaching hub scheme, the construction of a long tennis court, Amphitheatre, lawn, and central library has been completed.
Besides this, the RHB is also focusing on quality housing to various sections, including the low-income group.
