The Center established the Vista Center Oversight Committee over a two-year period to overcome challenges, ensure coordination between ministries, regulatory compliance, and effective project management.
The redevelopment project is expected to be completed next year, when India celebrates 75 years of Independence. Several government buildings, including Parliament House and ministry offices, will be rebuilt as part of the project.

Furthermore, the various aspects involved in the project include the development of cultural spaces and the synergy between different projects. Various stakeholders will need close supervision. Accordingly, it is proposed to establish an Oversight Committee, “reading orders from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
Currently, the web-based Central Vista Project Monitoring System reflects project progress on a real-time basis. It is reviewed on a regular basis at the Ministry of Housing by the Minister, and other senior officials and Central Department of Public Works officials with regular field inspections.
The committee will meet regularly as well as conduct site inspections for an independent review. It sends its reports to the Department on a regular basis.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs will provide office accommodation, secretarial assistance, etc. upon request of the Commission.
