According to the Union Cabinet decision announced in February 2026, which historic government buildings will be converted into part of the “Yuge Yugeen Bharat National Museum”?

In February 2026, the Union Cabinet approved the conversion of North Block and South Block into a major component of the “Yuge Yugeen Bharat National Museum.” These buildings were historically used as the administrative headquarters of the Government of India. For nearly a century they housed key government offices including the Prime Minister’s Office and the location where Cabinet meetings were conducted. The decision marks a major transformation in India’s administrative infrastructure as governance functions shift to newly constructed government complexes such as Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavans, while the historic buildings will be preserved and repurposed as part of a national museum showcasing India’s civilisational journey.
