About the Secretariat Building, New Delhi
The Secretariat Building, also called the Central Secretariat, held the government's key offices and ministries, among them the Cabinet Secretariat, on Raisina Hill in New Delhi. Its two symmetrical blocks, North Block and South Block, face each other across the Rajpath axis and flank the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the President's House. Herbert Baker designed the buildings as part of Edwin Lutyens' plan for New Delhi.
Planning for New Delhi began after Delhi became the seat of the British Indian Empire's government in 1911. Lutyens took charge of the town plan and the Viceroy's House, while Baker joined as his second in command and designed the Secretariat, the only other building on Raisina Hill. Baker placed the hill so that it largely hid the Viceroy's House from the Rajpath, against Lutyens' wishes. Lutyens wanted the Secretariat lower than the Viceroy's House, but Baker wanted equal height, and Baker's view prevailed. Since independence the complex has housed central government ministries and secretariats.
The Secretariat was designed in Indo-Saracenic Revival style. The identical buildings each have four levels and about 1,000 rooms in their inner courtyards. The walls use Dholpur sandstone from Rajasthan in cream and red, with the red stone at the base. Broad corridors and wide stairways serve the floors, a giant dome crowns each building, and the wings end in colonnaded balconies. Mughal and Rajasthani motifs appear in the jali screens and chatri pavilions. The four dominion columns in front were gifts from Canada and Australia, plus New Zealand and South Africa.
