It will be there till its new “world class complex” is constructed by 2023: Minister
The Culture Ministry on Thursday inaugurated the new premises of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) at the refurbished Janpath Hotel, where it was expected to stay till at least 2023 while its permanent campus was constructed. The IGNCA was shifted from its existing premises on Janpath as part of the Central Vista redevelopment project as three of the 10 new Central Secretariat buildings are proposed to be built at the site. Culture Minister Prahlad Singh Patel and Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri participated in a pared-down inaugural ceremony due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Mr. Puri said the Janpath Hotel, which was refurbished by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), would be the temporary home for IGNCA till its new “world class complex” is constructed by 2023 at Jamnagar House. Mr. Puri said IGNCA member secretary Sachidanand Joshi informed him that the centre would be opened to the general public ‘soon’.
