New Delhi: Padded Handwoven Carpet from Mirzapur, Nagpur and Mumbai Teak Wood Furniture and Agartala Bamboo Wood Floors will welcome MPs when they entered the new parliament building during the 2022 winter session.
Likewise materials from all over the country have been used such as Kesharia Greenstone Udaipur, Marble White Ambaji, Marble Red Lakha in Ajmer, and sandstone Sirmathura in “The first Indian parliament built by the people, the people and for people in the country.” “The new parliament is an intrinsic part of the vision for Azadi @ 75 and symbolizes our commitment and efforts to build independently dependent on India.
This has been designed and is being built by Indians using Indian materials,” Housing Secretary and Urban Development Durga Shanker Mishra told reporters at the construction site, a few days after a surprising night visit on the site.
He said PM had reviewed the status of construction activities on the site several times and the importance of its importance has played a role in increasing new building functionality.
With architectural strategies to harmonize the two buildings in such a way that they work together, the architecture and aesthetics of the new parliament building will refer to the current parliament building, other buildings from Central Vista, and classical art, people and tribal and Indian handicrafts.
Interior Lok Saba and Rajya Sabha will have references to national birds (Peacock) and Flower National (Lotus).
While the page will have a national tree (Banyan), the national emblem will have a new parliament building.
Mishra said that with the 21-month construction time line, it was planned that the new parliamentary building would accommodate the parliamentary winter session in the 75th anniversary of independence in 2022.
It will serve the demands of the future of ‘India New’, while preserving the central Vista iconic heritage, said Mishra.
In the new parliament building, Lok Sabha’s capacity will reach 876 seats, Sabha 400 chair and a shared session (at Lok Sabha Hall) – up to 1,224 seats that will be enough to accommodate the expanded parliament, after reconstructing in 2026.
