With Parliament done, the next major project of the Central Vista – a new residence for the Vice President – is expected to be completed by the year end. By mid-2024, the first three buildings of the Common Central Secretariat would also be likely ready.
Sources said that more than 60% of the work on the new V-P residence, which is spread over an area of 15 acres, near the North Block, was over. The complex would include the V-P’s residence, a secretariat, a guest house, a sports facility, staff quarters, barracks and ancillary buildings.
The current residence of the Vice President is adjacent to the Vigyan Bhawan convention centre on the capital’s Maulana Azad Road.
