Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is set to convert the now-defunct Barrister Sheshrao Wankhede Vidya Niketan, popularly known as Mor Hindi School in Ramdaspeth, into a dedicated multi-sport facility including skating, badminton and basketball courts with a proposed budget of Rs40–Rs50 lakh.
Taking cognisance of long-pending demands from locals, NMC commissioner and administrator Dr Abhijeet Chaudhari on Friday visited the site and directed officials to immediately clear the premises and prepare a detailed plan for the sports development.
As the school remained closed for several years, residents urged the civic body to make productive use of the available open ground and infrastructure by introducing recreational and sport facilities.
Currently, the premises house the advanced Young Kalam Science Centre operated by HCL Foundation. Another section of the building is used by the Dharampeth zone office to store old education department material, Covid-era supplies, and equipment seized during anti-encroachment drives.
Assistant commissioner Snehalata Kumbhar informed that a contractor was already appointed to dispose of these old items and will clear the premises in the coming week.

Following a complete inspection of the school grounds, Chaudhari asked sports officer Piyush Ambulkar to prepare a proposal to introduce sports amenities on the site. After visiting the place, Ambulkar told TOI the plan includes developing a skating rink, badminton and pickleball courts, and a basketball facility.
"One of the indoor halls is being activated for regular badminton games, while a skating rink and basketball court will be developed outside," said Ambulkar.
The commissioner also directed officials to ensure the construction of clean and accessible toilet facilities for players and visitors.
Once complete, the Rs40–Rs50 lakh project is expected to offer much-needed sports infrastructure to residents of Ramdaspeth and Dharampeth, converting an idle civic asset into a vibrant recreational hub. Dr Chaudhari inspected the school campus along with NMC medical health officer Dr Deepak Selokar, Dharampeth zone assistant commissioner Snehalata Kumbhar, sports officer Piyush Ambulkar, executive engineers Manoj Singh, Naresh Gadre, deputy education officer Sanjay Dighore and representatives of HCL Foundation including Piyush Wankhede and Ajinkya Kulkarni.

NHL Contract Extension: Golden Knights begin talks to make Jack Eichel highest-paid player in franchise history
Vegas Golden Knights have begun contract extension negotiations with Jack Eichel (Imagn Images) While the Vegas Golden Knights made waves this offseason by acquiring Mitch Marner in a blockbuster sign-and-trade, the franchise is quietly working on another crucial piece of business—securing Jack Eichel's future with the team. Jack Eichel's impact and value to the Golden Knights cannot be overstated Jack Eichel, the star center who helped deliver Vegas its first Stanley Cup in 2023, officially became eligible for a contract extension on July 1. According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, negotiations are already underway. 'Speaking of Vegas, the Golden Knights have started contract negotiations with Jack Eichel on an extension,' Pagnotta reported, signaling the team's clear intention to lock down their franchise cornerstone before he hits free agency. The 28-year-old center is coming off a career-best season, notching a franchise-record 94 points in just 77 regular-season games. His elite two-way play, leadership, and postseason pedigree have made him one of the most important players on Vegas's roster since arriving via trade from Buffalo in November 2021. Though Marner currently holds the title of highest-paid Golden Knight with a $12 million annual cap hit, Eichel's new deal could surpass that, as noted by team insider Danny Webster. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 'Jack Eichel is now eligible for an 8-year contract extension to make him the highest-paid player in Golden Knights history,' Webster posted on July 1. Bringing in Marner was a major swing for Vegas, but retaining Eichel would send a message that the organization is not just chasing headlines—it's building for long-term success. With Eichel set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026, this extension window provides a vital opportunity for the Golden Knights to solidify their core before any uncertainty takes hold.
