The Durbar Hall and Ashok Hall of Rashtrapati Bhavan have been renamed as Ganatantra Mandap and Ashok Mandap respectively. The Durbar Hall hosts national award ceremonies, whilst the Ashok Hall was formerly a ballroom.

“Rashtrapati Bhavan, the office and the residence of the President of India, is a symbol of the nation, and an invaluable heritage of the people. Continuous efforts are being made to make it more accessible to people. There has been a consistent endeavour to make the ambience of the Rashtrapati Bhavan reflective of Indian cultural values and ethos,” the Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a release.

Government says ‘durbar’ lost relevance post-republic

In an official statement, the government stated that ‘durbar’, which refers to courts and assemblies of Indian kings and the British, became obsolete after India became a Republic – ‘Ganatantra’.

Concept of ‘Ganatantra’ deeply rooted in Indian society: Govt

“The concept of ‘Ganatantra’ is deeply rooted in Indian society since the ancient times, making ‘Ganatantra Mandap’ an apt name for the venue,” according to the release.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
