Kartavya Bhavan is the first of 10 to be inaugurated. Offices of top ministries such as home affairs and external affairs, besides rural development; micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME); and petroleum and natural gas, will operate from here.
The Principal Scientific Adviser’s office and the the department of personnel and training will also be housed in Kartavya Bhavan.
Two more buildings are set to be completed by next month, while another has a target of April next year, followed by two more by October 2026.
After building or redoing buildings for the bureacracy, next in line is an Executive Enclave that will house a new Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Cabinet Secretariat, India House, and National Security Council Secretariat.
The Executive Enclave will have a second phase in which a new residence for the PM will be constructed too.
