New Convention Centre Inaugurated At Pragati Maidan By Our Honorable PM Modi

On Wednesday, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi performed a havan while inaugurating the new IECC (International Exhibition-cum-Convention Center) in Delhi at Pragati Maidan. Incidentally, this convention center is going to host the G20 Summit that will take place in the month of September this year.

On Monday, the Prime Minister mentioned that the government developed this facility as a national project after spending Rs 2,700 crore, and the construction got implemented after the overhaul of outdated old structures at Pragati Maidan. The total campus area of the facility happens to be around 123 acres.

It was IECC that is accountable for developing this centerpiece at the Pragati Maidan complex. After the performance of the puja by the PM, a cultural program is also going to take place in the evening when lots of dignitaries, guests, as well as other invitees will be joining. Mr. Modi felicitated the laborers (shramjeevis) who were responsible for constructing the complex mentioned here.

Vigyan Bhawan had been the only this type of major center in the capital of India till now, and it was constructed in the year 1956. However, it is not possible for this facility to satisfy the future requirements of India considering the fact that India wants to become the third biggest economy within the subsequent 20 years.

It Is one of the top 10 convention complexes right now

It is a fact that one can regard this convention center to be one of the top 10 convention and exhibition complexes on the planet at present. Right now, the main rivals of this particular convention center happen to be the National Exhibition and Convention Center located in Shanghai as well as the Hannover Exhibition Center located in Germany.

At present, only the properly connected metropolitan cities featuring top-notch infrastructure facilities have become the best location for hosting global exhibitions and conventions. There is no doubt that this particular convention center will be capable of making the capital of India a destination for international events with a number of top-notch hotels and golf courses available in Delhi.

There are two halls and 24 conference rooms

According to one official, the magnitude of the infrastructure and stature of the IECC happens to be a testament to the ability of India to host top-notch events at present. There are as many as 24 conference rooms, two halls, as well as a couple of auditoriums in this complex mentioned here.

Here, you will also come across a massive water body covering 7000 m² along with an island performance stage. The water body comprises musical fountains together with laser shows which will surely mesmerize the visitors, according to the official. The IECC likewise includes an amphitheater having the ability to provide accommodation to as many as 3,000 visitors. It is almost equivalent to the combination of three PVR theaters.
