NDFA got the piece of land from NIT a few years back and constructed the football stadium there. They named the stadium after Dr BR Ambedkar. Recently the ground was inaugurated and several matches of Senior division were held before the coronavirus pandemic once again put brakes on the sporting events. League matches of only Group A are completed. Katole conducted the proceedings while Mubin proposed a vote of thanks.
