According to the government, many major ministries still work from old buildings such as Shastri Bhawan, Krishi Bhawan, Uydog Bhawan and Nirma Bhavan, which was constructed between the 1950s and 1970s, and is now considered “structurally old and disable”.
After redevelopment of buildings for bureaucracy, the next line has an executive enclave that will give home to a new Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Cabinet Secretariat, India House and Secretariat of National Security Council.
