Why do you need sports complex?

Sports complexes are becoming an important
part of the community and an increasingly
significant economic driver. Sports complexes
have become destination facilities, so they
should encompass the competitive elements that
enhance the athlete experience, while
maintaining comfort and convenience for
spectators.

SYNOPSIS
Sports have always been an integral part of human lives.as per health is concerned it plays
important role in children’s lives, healthy children make nation healthy. Now a days with
general rise health consciousness more & more adults are turning to sports to keep fit.
Because there are so many pollutions climate becomes unhealthy so one should take care
of health.an increasing number of people are regular member at various sports clubs &
awareness regarding fitness has spread not only in metropolitan cities but also in smaller
cities.
Now a days sports become so popular, there are so many competitions held in all over the
world.so there is necessity of a sports club.
In Solapur, there are various clubs & health spars but there is only one club that is
dedicated solely to pursuit sports. So, in effect there is only not even one sports complex in
entire city.
Solapur is a growing city with a population of 1,041886 (inclusive of all talukas). So, a
sports complex will be received it will also provide better training facilities for sports for
students. In short it will be a collection of every aspect related to sports under one roof. In
short, it will also provide a feasible venue for hosting various intercollege sports
competitions. Also, all district level & regional level competitions can be conducted in an
environment & more in keeping with the std of events being conducted.
 IMPORTANTENCE OF SPORTS

Sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and fit. But sports’ importance goes
much further. Sports help in the overall development of students. Playing sports teaches
lessons of life, such as teamwork, accountability, self-confidence, responsibility, and self-
discipline.
Sports in school help prepare students to face the challenges of life. They enhance physical
and mental abilities of students and help them achieve the goals of their life. One can
realize the importance of sports by the various national and international sporting events
organized all over the world, where sportspersons represent their own countries.
The training of the students starts right from the school level. Sports help develop values of
mutual trust and cooperation. They help develop students’ capacities in taking instant
decisions, and they enhance thought processes. The feeling of sportsmanship or sporting
spirit, which develops in the sporting arena, teaches students to accept failure and to
respect others. The feeling also helps in developing a calm and positive outlook, and it
increases stamina by strengthening bones and muscles.

IMPORTANCE FOR HEALTH

By indulging in sports, you can get the best exercises, which help maintain your overall
fitness. Regular sporting activities can prevent chronic diseases and help develop healthy
heart, strong bones, and enhanced lung function. Sports help control diabetes, manage
weight, enhance blood circulation, and manage levels of stress. Through sports, there is a
good balance of physical and mental growth, which helps tone muscles and makes bones
strong.
Sports inculcates in students the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Sports help in preventing
obesity and in encouraging healthy eating habits. Young people involved in sports typically
consume more fruits and vegetables, have less chance to be obese, and are more likely to
become physically active adults.
Regular sports and physical activity help prevent communicable and non-communicable
diseases. Hence, sports are cost-effective methods to help improve the health of the
general public in developed and developing countries.
 SOCIAL AND PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT
Sports not only contribute to physical health but also enhance social and personality
development. They help in enhancing leadership skills and in improving capacity for goal
setting and character building. A student, who is active in sports, will naturally have greater
self-esteem, improved social interaction, and a more positive outlook on life.
Sports activities make children acquire ethics, values, responsibility, discipline, and a sense
of confidence and mutual trust. The sportsmanship spirit helps a person deal more
gracefully with the ups and downs of life. He/she will lead his/her life with good morals and a
positive attitude and is thus less likely to be a victim of social evils. As per some studies,
students, who compete in sports get better grades, have more confidence and graduate at
higher rates. The majority of them avoid evil, such as drugs, unplanned pregnancies,
obesity, suicide, and depression.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The main contribution of sports to nation building is by fostering feelings of unity and
national pride. Students learn to be mutually loving and peaceful citizens. Team-building
and cooperation are values built up by sporting activities in school. Sports help develop
character and increase confidence levels in youth.
Sports also help build a good health status of the citizens of a country. Good health
contributes to the high standards of living. Sports encourage the growth of sports-related
industries, which brings employment opportunities and boosts the economy.
These are all some top facts about the utility of sports in the school curriculum, which even
the best schools in Lebanon swear by. In the era of budget cuts in schools, decision-
makers must realize the importance of sports for all kinds of benefits.
RAILWAY STATION REDEVELOPMENT
 INTRODUCTION
“The paradox of transportation in the late 20th Century is that while it became possible to
travel to the moon, it also became impossible, in many cases, to walk across the street.”
-Joell Vanderwagen
The transportation system is an integrated and inseparable part of a society. It facilitates
social, economic, industrial and commercial progress which transforms the society. It is one
of the vital forces for determining the direction of development.
To achieve the desired transportation balance for the system to be efficient, it is essential to
provide organized facilities in the system. Transport infrastructure is one of the most
important factors for the country’s progress. They should be safe, accessible, inclusive,
delightful and sustainable.
But, a majority of the current transport terminals in India fail to meet the international
standards, they lack efficient planning, multimodal connections, handicap accessibility and
other essential facilities which are required for the efficient functioning of such terminals.

NEED TO RENEW RAILWAY STATIONS

The Railway stations in the city were just platforms with foot over bridges, booking offices,
station master’s office, toilets and pantries/canteens. Only a few had plazas, foyers, spill
over spaces like the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai central station, etc. built in the
18th and early 19th century by the British.
As the city got crowded and started to extend away from the railway stations need arose for
bus routes and other transport facilities.
The refurbishing, developments to the station were never planned, they were added as and
when they were needed and were rarely built with a futuristic approach which keeps
demanding for more at regular intervals. The majority of the stations in the city don’t even
complies with the Indian Disability act. The foot board of the train is not aligned to the level
of platform which makes it difficult as well as hazardous for commuters to get in and out of
the train.
The people who have the advantage of vehicles don’t have parking spaces. Driving on
crowded roads further ads up on the congestion problems. Hawkers use up the pavements
forcing people to walk on roads reducing the effective width of the road for a vehicle to
pass.
There is no function-based segregation on a majority of the railway stations. Lack of spill-
over areas, plazas, open spaces, food courts, leads to a mass gathering at entry/exit points,
booking areas, foot over bridges, etc. This all leads to congestion and thus deteriorating the
environmental quality for the people staying near railway stations.
 IMPORTANCE OF SOLAPUR RAILWAY STATION
The history of Solapur is unique as this district enjoyed freedom even before Independence.
Solapur citizens enjoyed Independence for 3 days from 9th May to 11th May1930. This
resulted in executions of Shri Mahatma Dhanshetti, Shri Kurban Hussain, Shri Jaganath
Shinde, Shri Kisan Sarda who were hanged on 12th Jan, 1931, at prison of Pune.

 INTRODUCTION

India is facing an acute housing shortage to the tune of 18.7 million 98 % of this is
comprised by families of the weaker and low-income groups, whose actual incomes make it
impossible for them to own even the cheapest available housing unit, given the soaring
housing market. In reality, the cost of housing comprises several factors, each of which is
responsible for the high costs of housing today. Adequate shelter for all people is one of the
pressing challenges faced by the developing countries. India is currently facing a shortage
of about 17.6 million houses. The dream of owning a house particularly for low income and
middle-income families is becoming a difficult reality. Hence, it has become a necessity to
adopt cost effective, innovative and environment-friendly housing technologies for the
construction of houses and buildings for enabling the common people to construct houses
at affordable cost. Case studies are used for the investigation. Construction methods of
foundation, walling, roofing and lintel are compared. Strength and durability of the structure,
stability, safety and mental satisfaction are factors that assume top priority during cost
reduction. It is found that about 26.11% and 22.68% of the construction cost can be saved
by using low-cost housing technologies in comparison with the traditional construction
methods in the case studies for walling and roofing respectively. This proves that using low-
cost housing technologies is a cost-effective construction approach for the industry. Low-
cost housing can be considered affordable for low- and moderate-income earners if
household can acquire a housing unit (owned or rented) for an amount up to 30 percent of
its household income. In developing countries such as India, only 20% of the population are
high-income earners, who are able to afford normal housing units. The low-income groups
in developing countries are generally unable to access the housing market. Cost effective
housing is a relative concept and has more to do with budgeting and seeks to reduce
construction cost through better management, appropriate use of local materials, skills and
technology but without sacrificing the performance and structure life. It should be noted that
low-cost houses are not houses which constructed by cheap building materials of
substandard quality. A low-cost house is designed and constructed as any other house with
regard to foundation, structure and strength. The reduction in cost is achieved through
effective utilization of locally available building materials and techniques that are durable,
economical, accepted by users and not requiring costly maintenance. Low-cost housing
technologies aim to cut down construction cost by using alternatives to the conventional
methods and inputs. It is about the usage of local and indigenous building materials, local
skills.
 SYNOPSIS
