Central Vista Area in New Delhi Renamed 'Kartavya Bhawan Complex'; 'Central Vista' Name DroppedUnion Housing & Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced on Sunday, 12 July 2026 that the Central Vista redevelopment area in New Delhi will now be referred to as the 'Kartavya Bhawan Complex' or 'Kartavya Bhawan Area', and that the name 'Central Vista' should no longer be used in official documents. Speaking at the CPWD (Central Public Works Department) Foundation Day, he said the precinct - comprising the Kartavya Bhawans, Kartavya Marg and future government buildings - reflects India's own identity over its colonial past. The area houses the Common Central Secretariat (CCS) of 10 buildings meant to consolidate central ministries, of which three are operational. Rajpath was renamed Kartavya Path in 2022, and the new PMO complex is named Seva Teerth. Just as the Viceroy's House became Rashtrapati Bhawan, the administrative district now carries an Indian identity.12 Jul 2026
