On the occasion of the Rozgar Mela, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of Phase I of the Integrated Complex “Karmayogi Bhavan” at New Delhi. This complex will promote collaboration and synergy amongst various pillars of Mission Karmayogi.
The New Campus for the Karmyogi Bhawan is a vital resource for a developing nation!
The building is intended to be a landmark, rising over South Delhi and resembling an iconic structure that commands all views as it passes by on Delhi's busy Ring Road. We live in a data-driven society propelled by the internet revolution.
A new form of architecture and institution are needed for this new reality. In response, the architecture built the structure to be adaptable and evolve, offering amenities and services on pace with the best in the world with the flexibility to meet future needs.
The structure is designed in layers, with a very open and democratic bottom floor that has access to the Karmyogi Bhawan and offices, as well as social areas and lounges with spacious rooms for exhibitions, interactive exhibits, and facilities that flow into one another.
The more peaceful, private, and secure offices, faculty spaces, and facilities for ministry officials, distinguished professors, and essential operations are located on the top two levels.
The five floors are filled with a variety of teaching and learning spaces, including lecture halls, classrooms, seminar rooms, break out areas, and lounges. The seamless blending of indoor and outdoor space is made possible by the numerous terraces located on these floors.
The core values of the Karmyogi Bhawan are knowledge, learning and communication. These values are boldly expressed in the architecture of the building, which is shown for everyone to see on the main facade as a floating box of light and glass. A world-class theater for distinguished events sits at the front of the structure, ornamented with abstracted flower columns and a stately drop off above which is a gorgeously manicured Garden in the Sky.
The building is distinctive—it's towering, robust, and modern!
The New Karmyogi Bhawan is intended to be a jewel, an icon, that symbolizes a rejuvenated India.
