transformational milestone

A statement issued by the PMO said that this inauguration is a milestone in India’s administrative governance structure and reflects the Prime Minister’s commitment towards building a modern, efficient, accessible and people-centric governance system. It said that for decades, many key government offices and ministries were located at different locations in the Central Vista area and operated with aging infrastructure. Co-location of offices led to operational inefficiencies, coordination challenges, increased maintenance costs and problems with proper work environment. It says new building complexes solve these problems by consolidating administrative functions within modern and future-ready facilities.
