Now, Senior Citizens’ Recreation Centre In Bhubaneswar Smart City

Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) on Saturday opened a Senior Citizens Recreation Centre at the Integrated Public Service Centre (IPSC) in Saheed Nagar.

The recreation centre will have facilities like indoor games and yoga for health and wellness, a meeting place and other amenities. It will provide a quality atmosphere where the senior citizens could spend their time with friends and their peer groups.

Inaugurating the centre, Chief Executive Officer of Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited and BMC Commissioner Prem Chandra Chaudhary said, “The city administration is proactive in providing better facilities for senior citizens across the city including parks and other open spaces so that they can spend good time and remain happy with meaningful engagements for their mental and physical wellbeing. With multiple facilities available at the IPSC Saheed Nagar, senior citizens in good number would definitely visit the centre and avail the opportunity to remain happy and fit.’’

A health check-up camp was also organised on the occasion during which blood sugar level, blood pressure and weight of senior citizens were measured.

This is part of the Active Ageing Project under the Socially Smart Bhubaneswar, which is part of the joint initiative of BSCL and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

The IPSC has a fully functional public library and homoeopathic dispensary for providing better services to the people.

The public library has become a frequently visited place for readers of all age groups after its opening on February 8. A collaborative effort of Bhubaneswar Smart City and Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation, the library has a good collection of books, periodicals and other publications in Odia and English books on various competitive and entrance examinations and on topics like health, well-being, fitness, history, contemporary Indian literature, religion, poetry and other subjects.

A similar IPSC building with various facilities will also be opened at Bapuji Nagar soon, for which construction is underway.
