Central Secretariat Library Relocation Plans Amid Central Vista Redevelopment
The Central Secretariat Library, established in 1891 and housing over 850,000 books, faces relocation due to the Central Vista redevelopment. While the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs states that space for the library is included in the new plan and construction is underway, the Culture Ministry has expressed concerns that the allotted space is insufficient for the library's full collection and facilities. The library's move from Shastri Bhawan highlights challenges in preserving important archival resources amid redevelopment.
