History
[edit]The proposal to construct the Haj House and Vande Mataram hall in Aurangabad was officially approved by the Chief Minister, Prithviraj Chavan, during a crucial decision-making meeting. The meeting also involved key stakeholders, including the Aurangabad Guardian Minister, Abdul Sattar, and the Minister for School Education, Fauzia Khan. The meeting's agenda was to address the pressing need for these facilities and ensure their timely construction. Chief Minister Chavan demonstrated his commitment to this cause by allocating a substantial budget of Rs 52 crore for the project.[4]
Prior to the government's official approval, numerous citizens and activists had resorted to agitation and even embarked on indefinite hunger strikes in December 2012. Their persistent efforts were aimed at urging the state government to fulfill the long-pending demand for the construction of the Haj House in Aurangabad. Of the allocated budget, Rs 29 crore was earmarked for the construction of the Haj House, the foundation stone-laying ceremonies for building. The Chief Minister and concerned officials, including Municipal Commissioner Harshadeep Kamble, District Collector, and Cidco Administrator Sunil Kendrekar, worked to expedite the project. Chief Minister Chavan directed officials to initiate the tendering process for construction before the end of the month, with a clear objective to commence construction work by July 15.[5]
