Bengaluru: The Cosmopolitan Club of Jayanagar, which is facing investigation for violating the lease agreement of CA site with BDA, is likely to have its registration canceled due to violation of bylaws.

Cosmopolitan Club, which has written a cover letter to the BDA, Cooperative Department and Excise Department, has said the same in its bylaws that it will do social work. But, so far not a small social work has been done. Instead, what was said in the general meeting about 'close the trust' which is doing social work for the club... This minutes has reached the Deputy Director of Co-operative Societies.

 In the bylaws of the association (2.6) the objective of helping the needy is mentioned. However, so far no such work has been done by the club. The 'Cosmopolitan Club Corpus Fund Trust', approved by the general meeting of the club, collected money from its own donors and did social work. The system of providing free meals to thousands of people should not be continued. Also the trust should be cancelled. Social responsibility does not need to be paid for. It was discussed in the recent general meeting that the club members should use it for license renewal and it was decided. Officials said that the cooperation department is seriously examining this and has decided to start the process of canceling the registration.

Millions of blessings will come...:

 'Every day we will sweep the garbage in this area, we will clean everything. They used to have good lunch in the afternoon. Was very happy. But it has stopped. If they give us food, they will get crores of blessings (punya),' said three or four poura karmikas working around the Cosmopolitan Club.

 The words heard in the general meeting

•  * They eat in the parking lot, if we go to park the car, the smell of cooking, the smell of vegetables and onions will come. Should we look at this?
•  * There is no need to provide food for those who do not get food. Make arrangements for club license renewal.
•  * 'Even though there is no flour in the stomach, it is like the need of jasmine flower for the hair. No need for mid-day meal.
•  * If you have such a noble cause, give them the Akshaya patra food of ISKCON. They will serrve where you tell them. Not here.
•  * This is not a social club, but an entertainment club. Bylaw, Constitution not Supreme. Act Supreme. All facilities here are for members only.
•  * 50% of the CSR fund should be given to the trust. Not a single penny has arrived. Confusion about a sacred task like lunch?
•  * In lieu of social work, the club may purchase shuttle racquets, tennis balls, liquor and other items from sponsors.

 Liquor license cancellation!

 Cosmopolitan Club has been granted a 'CL-4' license at a concessional rate by the Excise Department due to the social aspects of its entry in the Register of Co-operative Societies.

Fear of de-accreditation of Cosmopolitan Club: Violates the Rules

Cancellation of social activities; Violation of terms of lease agreement with BDA

Fear of de-accreditation of Cosmopolitan Club: Violates the Rules

Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್ 

Bengaluru: The prestigious Cosmopolitan Club of Jayanagar is facing the threat of losing its recognition and space for violating the terms and conditions of the BDA.

 Construction and operation of commercial centers should be facilitated. In lieu of this, various social services including mid-day meals will be provided to the citizens of the areas surrounding the Cosmopolitan Club and to the workers working in the club, the lease agreement said. But now the social service works have been stopped.

 The Cosmopolitan Club, which has over three thousand members, was leased by the BDA for 30 years in 2000–2001. In 2009, ``Cosmopolitan Club Corpus Fund Trust'' was established for social work. Through this, many kinds of work including distribution of books and clothes were done. Many have also donated lakhs under Income Tax Act 80G.

 A lunch of the best quality including payas and ghee was served daily at the club to about a thousand people. However, it has been decided to stop this now in the meeting of all members of the club. As such, mid-day meal is not being served from August 1. By this, all the social activities have come to a standstill and it is a violation of the cover given to the BDA.

 Cosmopolitan Club, which has 69 thousand square feet of corner property, has built commercial centers as well. From this, the rent is ₹15 lakh every month. As the social functions are stopped, the rent of centers for commercial purpose should be paid to BDA. Ganesh Singh of Bengaluru Civil Rights Struggle Committee has written a letter to the BDA Commissioner that immediate action should be taken in this regard.

Under the guise of doing social work, the club is only paying a rent of ₹1 crore (about ₹27,000 per month) for 30 years for a 69,000-square-foot property. Due to breach of contract, at least ₹5 lakh per month rent will be available to BDA. The lease of this property worth more than ₹600 crore should be cancelled. He demanded that the club should be run by BDA.

 I had written the cover letter: President 

 'During the construction of a building for commercial purposes, there were a lot of legal problems. We also took another area to build a parking lot. In return for all this, I was given a letter by the club when I was the secretary to do social work. Now the social activity have stopped and it has been violated, said Kumar Raju, president of the Cosmopolitan Club.

 About one thousand people were served lunch. However, some insisted to stop this in the recent all-member general body meeting. As they all insisted, it was decided to stop serving lunch, a social works, despite my opposition. Accordingly, it has stopped', he informed.

 "We have not built the club from the beginning to be just a fun place. We are also doing social work. We have established a trust and are doing many kinds of work including books, pens and food for the poor. The trust was not given a single rupee by the club. Only space was provided for lunch. Minister Ramalingareddy and others used to give many donations. Due to this social work was going on. Despite all kinds of appeals not to stop these, a decision has been taken out of the interest of some. Kumar Raju told 'Prajavani' that, he has also informed BDA president Rakesh Singh about this and requested him to take action.
