Central Vista Redevelopment Project refers to the ongoing redevelopment to revamp the Central Vista, India's central administrative area located near Raisina Hill, New Delhi. The area houses India's government and parliamentary offices and has been described as the "power corridor" of the country. The project seeks to improve infrastructure for the Government of India, including retrofitting and refurbishing some heritage buildings to make them functional and safe.

The Central Vista Redevelopment Project was launched in 2019. The project includes converting North and South Blocks into public museums while creating an ensemble of new secretariat buildings to house all ministries, relocating the Vice President and the Prime Minister's offices and residences near the North and South Blocks, and revamping the 3 km (1.9 mi) long Rajpath between Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate. A new Parliament building with increased seating capacity will be built beside the older one as India aims to expand its Parliamentary membership in 2026. The project aims for completion in 2024 before the general elections. The project is estimated to cost Rs 971 crore. According to the plan, provisions will be made in furniture for smart displays and biometrics for ease of voting with an intuitive and graphical interface, digital language interpretation and recording infrastructure to produce real-time metadata, programmable microphones that put the control of managing the house with the Speaker. 

A revised estimated cost of Rs 13,450 crore had been submitted, up from the earlier estimated cost of Rs 11,794 crore. The total built-up area proposed is 17,21,500 sq mts, and the area to be demolished is 4,58,820 sq mts.

The Venice Tide Barrier System - MOSE Project

Image
Introduction: The city Venice located on the east coast of Italy, is a world-famous tourist spot. It was hit by several floods and massive waves from the Adriatic Sea in the past few decades. Many experts claim that the water level in the sea is rising day by day. In 1966, it became a significant concern as the tides rose to an enormous height of more than 7 feet above the seawater level. This project consists of 78 gigantic steel panels across the three inlets that allow water to surge from the Adriatic Sea into the Venice lagoon. The MOSE System: The Venice city lagoon has three main water inlets at Malamocco, Chioggia, and Lido. To protect the city from flooding, the government planned to temporarily close these three water inlets. In 2003, the approval for MOSE, an Italian acronym for Experimental Electromechanical Module, was passed to construct an artificial barrier that would protect the city from any future floods. Its fundamental idea was to engage a series of oscillating infl

Lasers: A Revolution in Highway Engineerin

Image
Introduction: - The advancement of new technology has been taking place since the beginning of human history. However, it has been exceptionally fast and changing the engineering world in recent decades at a record pace. One such technology, lasers, is used in highway engineering for various purposes like road profiling, pavement surface redirection, bridge deflection, speed checkers, accident spot analysis etc. These laser techniques have greater accuracy as everything is automated with faster data collection and less human involvement. Applications: - Road Profiling The profile of a path is calculated around some in-existent line or point which is permanent. Besides the rutting and the other issues, the profile of a path which is taken along a lateral line shows over the altitude and crown of the route outline. The longitudinal profile displays the ruggedness, hardness, and grade of the material. It is used for tracking the status of a pavement management system road network (PMS) ne

Getting into a government job, and that too via something as prestigious as OPSC Examinations undoubtedly takes constant efforts and perseverance. But figuring out the right direction towards this acme can be a lot painstaking.  We talked to Ms. Priyanka Padhy, a 2018 Civil Engineering graduate of NIT Rourkela, who has achieved meritorious results in the OPSC Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) 2019 by emerging as the Girls Topper and has secured the laudable Rank 10. As an alumna of the institute, we believe, she can be the best person to guide the students who carry this aspiration in their hearts.  Following is an excerpt. CEST CLUB (CC) : Walk us through your childhood days. Ms. Priyanka Padhy (PP) : I have completed my 10th as well as 12th standard from Saraswati Sishu Vidya Mandir, Neelakantha Nagar, Berhampur, Odisha. I believe school life is the most important phase of life where one learns basic principles of behavior and etiquette. My school life nurtured me to develop good ha
