Hyderabad: Telangana Secretariat is all set to be inaugurated on April 30, at 6.08 am.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will assume his chair inside his chamber on the sixth floor in Telangana Secretariat at 1.20 pm the same day.
Designed by the Chennai-based Architects `Ponni Concessao and Oscar Concessao’, the new Secretariat has a unique architecture and appears to be in the Indo-Sarssenic style that blends the Indo-Islamic architectural features generally with domes.
The multiple domes and arches of the building perfectly fit in this style representing the syncretic and liberal Deccani style.
Besides the main secretariat building, it houses ancillary buildings for visitors, police personnel, fire department, crèche, utility building, temple, mosque, and church.
Ample space has been planned for landscaping – hardscape with stone pavements, and softscapes consisting of lawns, native trees, fountains, and parking for VVIPs, staff, and others.
It has been constructed with all modern amenities including conference halls, visitors' lounges, dining halls, and others.
Five floors of the building are divided into different departments.
The seven-storey Secretariat was constructed over 28 acres in a built-up area of 10,51,676 square feet. As against the initial estimate of Rs 400 crore, it was built at an approximate cost of Rs 650 crore.
