Central Vista Redevelopment Project
The Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum is part of the larger Central Vista Redevelopment Project, which involves the redesign and reconstruction of India's central administrative area along Rajpath (now Kartavya Path) in New Delhi. The project, designed by Bimal Patel's HCP Design, Planning and Management, includes a new Parliament House (inaugurated May 2023), a new Prime Minister's residence, and the conversion of the colonial-era North and South Blocks into the museum.
- North and South Blocks were designed by Herbert Baker and completed in 1931 as part of Edwin Lutyens' New Delhi plan
- The blocks served as the seat of the Ministry of Finance (North Block) and Ministry of External Affairs/Home Affairs (South Block)
- Government offices have been relocated to the new Common Central Secretariat buildings
- The project has faced criticism regarding cost, heritage conservation concerns, and environmental clearances
- The adaptive reuse approach preserves the heritage structures while repurposing them for cultural use
