The Maharashtra government has approved an additional ₹30 crore to revive Dombivli's historic Savitribai Phule Auditorium. The decision brings the total funding for the project to ₹45 crore, after a previous allocation of ₹15 crore. The long-awaited redevelopment aims to transform the cultural landmark, which had remained closed due to the building's deteriorating condition.
Kalyan Member of Parliament Dr Shrikant Shinde played a crucial role in securing the funding through repeated efforts with the state government. With the new allocation, the state will bear full responsibility for the ₹45 crore project, while the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) will oversee the execution. Once completed, the auditorium will serve as a modern cultural hub, featuring a spacious main stage, improved seating, modern lighting, upgraded interiors, a dedicated drama theatre, rehearsal rooms, and an art gallery.
The redevelopment will breathe new life into Dombivli's cultural scene and benefit local theatre groups, artists, and cultural organizations.
