National Press Centre contract signed by Press Information Bureau | | The Press Information Bureau (PIB) on Monday signed a contract today with the National Building Construction
Corporation (NBCC) Ltd., for the construction of a new National Press Centre in New Delhi. The PIB Additional Director General Ira Joshi and the NBCC Chairman,
Arup Roy Choudhary inked the contract to this effect. The new National Press Centre
(NPC) will be a world class press centre with state of the art press conference
hall, media briefing rooms, a large work area and lounge for the press which would
include editing and other professional facilities like a library. The existing
media centre at first floor of Shastri Bhawan is increasingly becoming inadequate
to accommodate the growing number of press correspondents accredited to the Government
of India as well as to provide them other professional facility like work room
for journalists, lounge, interviewing facilities for electronic media, at par
with media centres in other countries. The work of construction has been awarded
to NBCC Ltd on ready to occupy basis at a cost of Rs. 60/- crore. The construction
work is likely to commence at 7-E, Raisina Road , New Delhi in the first week
of April, 2010 and would span over a period of 30 months. |
