A 500-seat auditorium costing Rs. 2,62,50,000 (funded by college fund, alumni, students, and rent) will meet this need and generate revenue. Approval is requested to form a building committee. ## Answer #### Rationale Our college has more than 1,500 students and 100 staff, but no hall to hold them. At present, seminars, orientation, cultural programmes, and graduation ceremonies are held in the corridor or in rented halls outside, which costs money, takes time and affects classes. A hall of its own would let us hold events for the whole college, give students a place for performances and presentations, and also earn income by renting it out. It is also a safe place for students to gather, and it will improve the college's image and attract students. #### Estimated budget The construction of a 500-seat auditorium, about 6,500 sq. ft., is estimated as follows. | S.N. | Item | Amount (Rs.) | |---|---|---| | 1 | Site preparation and foundation | 38,00,000 | | 2 | RCC frame, walls and roof | 95,00,000 | | 3 | Auditorium seats (500) and stage | 28,00,000 | | 4 | Sound, light and projection system | 22,00,000 | | 5 | Air-conditioning and ventilation | 20,00,000 | | 6 | Electrical, fire safety and plumbing | 17,00,000 | | 7 | Interior, doors and windows | 18,00,000 | | 8 | Design and supervision | 12,00,000 | | | **Sub-total** | **2,50,00,000** | | | Contingency (5%) | 12,50,000 | | | **Grand total** | **2,62,50,000** | **Sources of funds:** college development fund (40%), alumni and donors (35%), student fees (10%), and hall rent and loan (15%). #### Conclusion The auditorium is a long-felt need of the college. It will also host inter-college contests, workshops and training, bringing in income and reputation. It is technically feasible, and the cost can be raised from the sources above. We request the Campus Management Committee to approve this proposal and to form a building committee so that construction can start before the next academic session. ## Check yourself The answer's key points as multiple-choice questions, with the correct option and why. 1.
