The new location of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) on Janpath, which was inaugurated on July 1, could open its doors to the public next month, depending on the COVID-19 pandemic situation, according to officials. Relocated to make way for the construction of new secretariat buildings as a part of the Central Vista redevelopment, the IGNCA would stay at what used to be Janpath Hotel for about two-and-a-half years while its own permanent campus at Jamnagar House was built, IGNCA member-secretary Sachidanand Joshi said on Friday. The hotel building was refurbished and an additional media centre, including an auditorium, was constructed by the Central Public Works Department, which is carrying out the Central Vista revamp.

Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
