The Central Vista Redevelopment Project refers to the ongoing renovation of India’s central administrative district, located near Raisina Hill in New Delhi. During British colonial administration, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker developed the region, which was kept by the Government of India after independence.As of 2020, the project aims to revamp a 3 km (1.9 mi) long Rajpath between Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate, convert North and South Blocks to publicly accessible museums by creating a new common Central Secretariat to house all ministries, a new Parliament building near the current one with increased seating capacity for future expansion, a new residence and office for the Vice-President and Prime Minister near the North Block and Sou Block, and a new residence and office for the President and Prime Minister near.According to the official statement for the new Vista development project, “as the government’s demands and tasks rose, so did the use of the area.” However, because the development in the area is over a century old, and India’s present expansion and development, the current Central Vista has failed to meet the demands of the country.”The Council of Architecture established the competition conditions, which included no structure taller than India Gate. The Delhi Urban Arts Commission required the project proponent or customer to get conceptual permission (DUAC). The Central Vigilance Commission approved financial choices. The Finance Ministry provided monetary allocation. The New Delhi Municipal Corporation conducted project evaluation studies (NDMC). The regulatory master plan was expected to be completed by an elected body such as the NDMC, MCD, or DDA, however it was completed by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD).
