More than a decade-old defunct recreational centre on the premises of the office of DIG (Vellore), near the Circuit House in Vellore Old Town, was given a facelift with facilities, including a public library and a gymnasium. Spread over 800 square feet, the renovated facility has a library with books, mainly in Tamil and English, of fiction and non-fiction, novels, poems and self-help, competitive examinations and general knowledge. It also has newspapers and magazines.
The modern gym has advanced equipment, including barbell stand, cable crossover, dumbbells, decline bench and flat bench press for fitness enthusiasts, especially police officers and their families residing in the housing quarters within the premises.
