Old is gold. The air smelled purer, the veggies tasted better and possessions lasted longer. Standing the test of time, the NDA Udaygiri 2 Society still stands proudly in an era in which most possessions are short lived. The exteriors may have worn out, but it is evident that the mortar and concrete used to build this old complex still hold strong.
Sprawled over 3 acres, the Society has 72 blocks with 576 flats. The complex has a temple as well as a church inside its premises. All events and celebrations are organised at the community centre, which has to be booked three months in advance. There are a number of coaching and tuition options within the compound.
