History
From May 1962 until February 2024, the bungalow located on No. 6, Maulana Azad Road in New Delhi served as official residence of Vice President of India. The area of the residence was 6.48 acres (2.62 ha). It was a standalone building with limited facilities. It shared a common boundary wall with the Vigyan Bhavan Annexe on the west and was bounded by Maulana Azad Road in the south, Man Singh Road in the east and the green area abutting Rajpath.
As a part of the Central Vista Redevelopment Project, a new residence and secretariat for the Vice President was built at 108, Church Road, New Delhi. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and his family moved into the new Vice-President Enclave on 14 February, 2024 on the occasion of Vasant Panchami. The new complex is the first of the residential premises under the Central Vista redevelopment plan to be completed. The Vice-President Enclave spans a 15-acre plot with a built-up area of 215,278 square feet and a total plinth area of approximately 20,000 square meters. It comprises multiple structures, including the Vice President’s Residence, featuring one basement, a ground floor, and an upper floor; a Secretariat building with a ground and an upper floor; a CPWD block with similar specifications; and barracks, also consisting of a ground and an upper floor. Additional facilities include a Guest House, a Sports Facility with a single ground floor, Staff Quarters with a ground and upper floor, and various Ancillary Buildings with ground floors of varying heights.
