Modi said that the Kartavya Bhavan and other major infrastructure projects, including the new Defence Complexes, are not only a testament to India’s pace but also a reflection of its global vision.”Our government, with a holistic vision, is engaged in the construction of grand structures like Kartavya Bhavan near Kartavya Path. This is just the first Kartavya Bhavan completed; the construction of many such Kartavya Bhavans is progressing rapidly,” he said.The PM also highlighted the fact that once these offices are shifted to the new complexes located in close proximity, employees would benefit from an improved working environment along with access to necessary amenities, which in turn will enhance their overall work output.Modi said that with all the ministries and departments functioning from these buildings being constructed at one place, the Government will save Rs 1,500 crore, currently being spent on rented accommodations at 50 different locations.Modi, underscoring the need for new Government office complexes, said that for decades after Independence, India’s administrative machinery operated from buildings constructed during the British colonial era.”These administrative buildings had poor working conditions, offering insufficient space, inadequate lighting, and poor ventilation for those working there. Remarkably, the Ministry of Home Affairs functioned from the same building for over a century, despite the lack of essential resources and facilities,” he said.The PM said that many countries which gained independence alongside India have progressed rapidly.”There must have been reasons for this…But now it is our responsibility to ensure that we do not leave problems for the coming generations…We will utilize these buildings as instruments to help liberate the country from poverty. Through them, we will realize the vision of a Viksit Bharat. Together, let us make India the world’s third-largest economy and script the success story of Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat,” the PM stated.
