Officers' Club was established in 1967. Its membership is open only to government officers and the officers of semi-government or autonomous bodies. Public Works Department gave four and half acres from its own land to construct the building of the club. The government also provided fund to construct a covered badminton complex and a swimming pool. The club has now about 2,000 members. It is run by an executive committee headed by the cabinet secretary of the government. Its members are elected through secret ballot every two years. The club has a library, three tennis courts, and facilities to play badminton, table tennis, billiard, cards, chess etc.
The Officers' Club organises contributory dinners and housie sessions periodically. It also has a women's committee that designs and implements social welfare activities with funds generated by the club. To generate income, its pavilion is rented out to outside parties seeking to use the space for specific functions including weddings. [Shajahan Khadem]
