Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate the newly constructed Parliament Building to the Nation on May 28, 2023. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and invited him to inaugurate the New Parliament Building.
The new Parliament building can comfortably seat 888 members in the Lok Sabha chamber and 300 in the Rajya Sabha chamber, it said. In the case of a joint sitting of both the Houses, a total of 1,280 members can be accommodated in the Lok Sabha chamber. The construction of the New Parliament Building is complete now and the new building symbolizes the spirit of self–reliant India, or “aatmanirbhar Bharat“, said Lok Sabha Secretariat. The newly constructed parliament building has been built in a record time with quality construction, the Lok Sabha Secretariat said in the statement. The new parliament building is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, which will help the members to perform their duties in a better way, the Lok Sabha Secretariat said. In the new building, the Rajya Sabha can accommodate 300 members.
The four-storey building has been constructed at an estimated cost of ₹970 crores. The building has been designed by Ahmedabad-based HCP Design, Planning and Management, and constructed by Tata Projects Limited.
The present building of the Parliament was completed in 1927 and is now 96 years old. It can accommodate some 543 members and the Rajya Sabha building can sit 250 members. In both the houses, there was also a lack of convenient arrangements for MPs to sit, which affected how they worked. Over the years, the old building was found to be inadequate for present-day requirements. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had passed resolutions urging the government to construct a new building for the Parliament.
