Special General Meeting to approve the constitution for Club House on Dec 22
By Paritosh Pramanik
THE proposal of Nagpur District Football Association (NDFA) of having its own Club House has gathered pace with the association calling a Special General Meeting to approve the Constitution.
The Special General Meeting is scheduled to be held on December 22, it has been learnt.
A notice for the same has been dispatched to all the life members of the association.
A proposal for NDFA’s Club House had been incorporated in the association’s Constitution a few years back. However, it was kept on the back-burner as the football governing body of the district did not have its own playfield or land. Now with the NIT providing a piece of land to the association in Suyog Nagar, NDFA has decided to frame a Constitution for Club House.
“It’s at a very nascent stage. Several years ago when we amended our Constitution we incorporated construction of Club House for our privileged members,” said an NDFA official.
“The idea is to prepare a lush green football field at the Suyog Nagar ground and at the same time start construction of Club House which would help the association raise funds for the maintenance of ground,” said the official.
When contacted, NDFA president Haresh Vora confirmed the development but said it was at a very initial stage.
“It is at a very inceptive stage now. Yes, we have called a special meeting to approve the Constitution of the Club House on December 22. We want to keep the Constitution ready for future. Once all the court cases (on the land) are cleared we would try to speed up the process,” Vora informed ‘The Hitavada.’
Vora, who is also the Vice-President of Western India Football Association (WIFA) said, “If all goes well, we will try to rope in some big firms on Build Operate Transfer (BOT) basis to run the Club House. It would help us in generating funds for maintaining the ground and running the association.”
According to sources, the life members will get privileged membership of Club House at a discounted rate. “We would make sure that the life members get their due. They would be incorporated as Club House members at a very nominal rate,” said the source.
Vora said there would be a separate body that would run the Club but it will be governed by the NDFA.
“The NDFA executive committee will have all the decision making powers. The Club House’s elected body will take their decision and will convey it to the NDFA executive committee which would then confirm/reject it,” said Vora.
