Indian Ministries to Shift to New Offices
India's government is getting a brand new office!
Instead of using old buildings from the past, important offices like the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs are moving to a modern new building called the Common Central Secretariat.
This move is part of a big plan to make the government work better together.
The old buildings they're leaving will become a museum to show off India's history and culture.
The new office spaces will be modern and tech-friendly, giving everyone more room to work.
Key Indian ministries are moving from colonial-era buildings to the new Common Central Secretariat.
The Ministry of Home Affairs and the Department of Personnel and Training will relocate.
The Ministry of External Affairs will move to the new accommodation as well.
Other ministries like Petroleum and Rural Development will also shift to the CCS Buildings.
The North and South Blocks will be transformed into a new national museum.
