The Centre is being built by the Hira Foundation Trust, Coles Park. The WIC will come up on a plot measuring 4,600 sq. ft. in the eastern suburb which has seen tremendous development due to several MNCs setting up their units and inclusion of several areas into the municipal territory of Bengaluru.
