The Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum will be developed at which location in New Delhi?
- A.Rashtrapati Bhavan complex
- B.North and South Block complex
- C.Red Fort complex
- D.Pragati Maidan complex
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the North and South Block complex. The museum is being created through adaptive reuse of these historic buildings after government offices move out of them, so that their architectural and heritage character survives while they take on a new role as a public cultural institution. Option A, the Rashtrapati Bhavan complex, houses the President of India and is not the site named in the decision. Option C, the Red Fort complex, is a World Heritage monument in the old city and carries its own museums, but it is not the chosen location. Option D, the Pragati Maidan complex, is an exhibition and convention ground. The museum, announced by the Prime Minister on 18 May 2023 and now approved at Rs 3,230 crore, will spread over a built-up area of about 1,78,509 square metres.
