The Central Vista Avenue starting from North &amp; South Block to India Gate, that includes the Rajpath, its adjoining lawns and canals, rows of tree, Vijay Chowk and the India Gate plaza is a 3 km long stretch. This was originally designed to be a grand processional pathway to the Viceroy\u2019s House during the British Raj. It was appropriated by the people of India and their government at Independence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe government has decided to address these by <strong>refurbishing and improving the avenue, as part of the comprehensive transformation of the Central Vista<\/strong>. The objective of the proposal is to make the\u00a0<strong>Avenue an icon that truly befits New India.<\/strong>\u00a0This will come out to be one of the best Central Vista Avenue of the world. It will be achieved by refurbishing, strengthening and\u00a0<strong>restoring the avenue\u2019s landscape and tree cover<\/strong>; providing amenities that make it comfortable for civic users and tourists to use and; making it more\u00a0<strong>pedestrian friendly and easier for traffic to negotiate<\/strong>. The design also provides space and facilities for vendors, ensures that arrangements for national events cause minimal disruption, and ensures integrity and continuity of the Vista\u2019s original layout, its geometries and its architectural character.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bGovernment approved a proposal for development of Central Vista Avenue with estimated cost of Rs.608 crores on 10th November, 2020.
