Raisina Hill’s ₹3,230-Crore Makeover: Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum

New Delhi’s iconic North and South Blocks on Raisina Hill are set to become one of the world’s largest museums following the CCEA’s approval of a ₹3,230 crore development plan for the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum. Led by the Ministry of Culture, the project balances the architectural preservation of these historic buildings with modern interactive storytelling to trace India's civilisational heritage across art, science, and architecture. Following a modular rollout, the first gallery—themed 'Adornment'—will open in the North Block next year to spotlight India's rich history of jewellery and decorative arts, ahead of the project's full completion in March 2031.
