India Begins Historic Relocation of 30,000 Government Employees

The Indian government is moving about 30,000 employees to new buildings in Delhi as part of a big makeover.

This is a major move, even bigger than when government offices were first built in the 1930s.

Several important departments are being relocated to a new building on Kartavya Path, including those for Home Affairs and Rural Development.

The buildings they are leaving, like North and South Block, will be turned into a bigger National Museum.

However, the Finance Ministry won't be moving yet, so they will continue to work from their current location for now.

This is all part of a plan to modernize the government's offices.
