New Parliament Building Project

From the time it was conceived, to its execution over the last few years, leading up to the inauguration ceremony - the new parliament building has been an exercise in architectonic narcissism. Or, to put it more simply, 'The I-Me-Myself Project'.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the new parliament building today. The interior has three national symbols - the lotus, the peacock and the banyan tree - as its themes. The new parliament building was built by Tata Projects Ltd.

India's new Parliament building is likely to be inaugurated later this month by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sources have said.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Thursday claimed that the new parliament building in Delhi is a "waste of money" and it is nothing but a "personal vanity project" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The new Parliament building is likely to be inaugurated in March, when the House convenes for the second part of the Budget Session.

Preparations are in full swing to hold the winter session of Parliament in the existing building from December 7 and with the November deadline for completing the new building over, efforts are being made to finish the project work at the earliest.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 11 unveiled the national emblem cast on the roof of the new Parliament building in New Delhi. The emblem is an adaption of the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath.

The new Parliament building project, which has its deadline in October, has achieved 44 per cent physical progress, and the government has so far spent Rs 480 crore on it, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Monday.

The new parliament building, the highlight of the government's flagship Central Vista project, will cost another Rs 282 crore, sources said.

Redevelopment of the Central Vista Avenue, stretching from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate and has a deadline of December 2021, has achieved 60 per cent of physical progress so far, the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry told the Lok Sabha.

"The project complies with Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules and each and every condition which is put to ensure that it does not cause any pollution," the Centre said in its response to the Court.

During his surprise visit to the construction site of the new Parliament building last night, Prime Minister Narendra Modi instructed that a digital archive of the project workers must be set up once work is completed.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with the workers at the construction site of the new Parliament building in Delhi late Sunday evening.

Not a single MP in either Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha had objected to the construction of a new parliament building when a request for it was made by both the Houses to the Centre, Speaker of the lower house, Om Birla, said on Friday.
