PM Modi to lay foundation stone of new Vanijya Bhawan building today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of Vanijya Bhawan, a new office complex for the Department of Commerce near India Gate in the national capital today. 

The new building, which will be built on a plot of 4.33 acres, will accommodate about one thousand officers and staff.The Vanijya Bhawan will have all modern technology-driven features while retaining the Central Vista architecture. It will be a completely paperless office with



state of the art facilities such as smart access control, video conferencing, central air-conditioning and completely networked systems. 

The layout of this green building has been planned so as to minimise the number of trees that would have to be cut. The new building will be a symbol of not only India’s growing economic might but also the adoption and use of technology in governance.
