Over the next two-and-a-half years, all 10 buildings of the Common Central Secretariat (CCS) will be constructed, and the ministries housed in Shastri Bhavan, Krishi Bhavan, Nirman Bhavan and Udyog Bhavan will shift into the swanky hi-tech offices. Kartavya Bhavan 3 is part of the broader transformation of the Central Vista with the new secretariat aiming to streamline administration. Ten buildings of the CCS are under construction by the urban affairs ministry as part of the government's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment plan. Two under-construction buildings, 1 and 2, are scheduled to be completed by next month, while CCS 10 will be finished by April next year.
Housing and urban affairs minister Manohar Lal Khattar said all the buildings will be completed over the next two-and-a-half years. Khattar said the offices operating from Shastri Bhavan, Krishi Bhavan, Nirman Bhavan and Udyog Bhavan will shift to new locations on Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Minto Road, and Netaji Palace temporarily for two years. His ministry has also started shifting to a building on Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Khattar said. An official said that a tender for the demolition of the four bhavans will be floated within two months, and construction of remaining buildings will commence by December.
