New Delhi: Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal on Sunday said the Central Vista redevelopment area will now be known as the “Kartavya Bhawan Complex” or “Kartavya Bhawan Area”, and directed that the term “Central Vista” should no longer be used in official references.
Speaking at the foundation day function of the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), the minister said the new nomenclature should be adopted in all official documents and communications.
He said the entire precinct, comprising multiple Kartavya Bhawans, Kartavya Path and future government buildings under the Common Central Secretariat project, would collectively be known as the Kartavya Bhawan Area.
The Centre plans to construct 10 Common Central Secretariat buildings under the redevelopment project, of which three have already been completed.
The minister said the newly constructed government buildings would become part of the nation’s history, just like the century-old iconic structures in the national capital.
Notably, in 2022, the Centre renamed Rajpath as Kartavya Path, while the newly constructed government office buildings were named Kartavya Bhawans. The new complex housing the Prime Minister’s Office, Cabinet Secretariat and the office of the National Security Advisor has been named Seva Teerth.
