1. The CPWD forwarded (through OPAAS) the proposal for consideration by the Commission.
2. The proposal for the Samadhi of Late Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister of India received (through online) at the formal stage was scrutinised and a detailed discussion was held with the architect (online) on Cisco Webex meetings, during which clarifications were provided to the Commission’s queries. Based on the submission made, including drawings, documentations, and photographs, etc, the discussion held, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The Commission noted that the permission granted by the Land & Development Office, MoHUA, requires that the Samadhi be developed in a manner whereby the overall surroundings of the area, including the natural surroundings and construction of other Samadhis, are maintained in broad conformity and harmony. Accordingly, the architectural treatment, landscape design, material and colour palette, paving, peripheral treatment and other external elements of the proposed Samadhi shall be appropriately coordinated with the established visual and architectural character of the existing Samadhis within Rashtriya Smriti Sthal.

b) The Commission observed that Rashtriya Smriti Sthal has an established architectural and landscape vocabulary characterized by a simple and restrained memorial expression, open landscaped setting and a consistent treatment of common external elements. The proposed Samadhi shall therefore retain its individual identity and commemorative expression while remaining visually harmonious with the overall precinct.

c) The proposed material and colour palette, particularly the use of white marble/ white granite, shall be carefully considered in relation to the materials and colours of the existing Samadhis. The use of materials may be appropriately integrated to establish visual continuity with the surrounding precinct.

d) The landscape shall be treated as an integral part of the memorial and the larger Rashtriya Smriti Sthal. The proposed lawns, planting, flower beds, paved areas and peripheral landscape treatment shall be suitably coordinated with the existing landscape so that the memorial forms part of the larger setting rather than appearing as an isolated landscape composition.

e) The submission also indicates the presence of an existing tree within the memorial site. The design and execution of the proposal shall ensure its protection and preservation. The tree shall be sensitively integrated into the overall landscape and memorial setting, without adversely affecting its health, root system or future growth.

f) The boundary/peripheral treatment, railings, pathways, signage, plaques and other site elements shall follow a simple and restrained design language and shall be coordinated in terms of materials, proportions and detailing with the overall character of Rashtriya Smriti Sthal.

g) The proposal indicates a designated area for removal of footwear. Small seating benches shall be provided on both sides of the pathway leading to the Samadhi to facilitate the removal and wearing of footwear. The benches shall incorporate suitable provision for protecting the footwear during inclement weather, particularly rainfall. To maintain visual and material harmony, the benches shall be designed in a material consistent with that proposed for the plaque and shall be placed along the outer edges of the designated area so that pedestrian movement along the pathway remains unobstructed.

h) The proposal shall ensure universal accessibility and barrier-free movement from the common pedestrian circulation/pathway up to the Samadhi. This may be suitably incorporated in the final drawings, since the submitted DUAC proforma presently records barrier-free provisions as “N/A.”

i) A coordinated landscape plan, clearly indicating existing and proposed trees/plantation, species, paving, levels, pathways and other landscape elements, shall be maintained. The present submission records the detailed landscape plan showing proposed trees and landscape features as not submitted.

j) All plans, sections, elevations, details, landscape drawings and 3D views shall be fully coordinated, particularly with respect to materials, colours, levels, paving and landscape treatment, so that the approved architectural intent and the overall visual and aesthetic quality of the precinct are maintained during execution.

k) The Commission’s approval is from the architectural, urban design and aesthetic considerations. Compliance with the terms and conditions stipulated by L&DO/MoHUA, applicable Acts, rules, guidelines and requirements of other statutory/local authorities shall be ensured by the project proponent/executing agency.

l) Any material deviation subsequently proposed in the architectural character, material/colour palette, landscape scheme or other elements having a bearing on the external appearance and visual harmony of the precinct shall be brought before the Commission for consideration prior to execution.

m) The submission is approved subject to ensuring broad conformity and harmony with the overall architectural, landscape and visual character of the existing Samadhis and the natural surroundings of Rashtriya Smriti Sthal, in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated by L&DO/MoHUA.

n) The architect is also advised to go through the DUAC Memorandums issued vide letter no: 1(2)/82-DUAC dated 07.10.2025 (available on the DUAC website www.duac.org.in) for various issues related to the DUAC approvals.

Based on the submission made, including drawings, documentations, and photographs etc., discussion held, presentation made and replies submitted the following observations are to be complied with:

a) It was observed from the submission that the additional parking requirement arising from the proposed Assembly Hall has been accommodated through a double-stack parking system with landscape screening. To facilitate ease of maintenance and enhance the overall visual character, the Commission suggested that the parking structure may be constructed using appropriately specified metal members and screened with wooden lattice panels to support the growth of suitable creepers while maintaining aesthetic harmony. The selection of creepers shall be carefully considered with due regard to their long-term growth and maintenance requirements. Adequate provisions for drainage and irrigation shall also be incorporated to support healthy landscape growth and prevent water stagnation.

b) Solar panels have been proposed above the double-stack parking arrangement. The same shall be suitably located and integrated so as to be adequately screened and not prominently visible from the surrounding areas. It was further observed that the creepers proposed below the solar panels may not receive adequate sunlight for healthy growth. Accordingly, the proposed arrangement shall be revisited and appropriately revised, taking into consideration the screening of the solar panels, suitability of the proposed plantation, and overall visual aesthetics. The revised design shall be incorporated and clearly reflected in the submission at the Formal Stage.

c) The design proposal incorporates provisions for double stack parking arrangements to meet the necessary parking requirements. It is crucial for the architect or proponent to ensure the proper implementation of these arrangements on-site, which will be thoroughly examined during the proposal's completion stage. All parking provisions shall adhere to all the applicable norms/guidelines/regulations, etc. (in terms of points no. 18 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval), as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

2. The Commission approved the building plan proposal at its meeting held on 12.05.2010 and subsequently accepted the NOC for Part Completion at its meeting held on 21.11.2013. Thereafter, the Commission accepted the NOC for Completion of the overall scheme at its meeting held on 05.10.2016.
3. The building plans proposal for additions and alterations in respect of IBIS Hotel at Asset-9 received (through OPAAS) at the conceptual stage was scrutinised and a detailed discussion was held with the architect (online) on Cisco Webex meetings, during which the architect made a detailed presentation (online) and provided clarifications to the Commission’s queries. Based on the submission made, including drawings, documentations, and photographs etc., discussion held and the presentation made, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) At Point 12 of the scanned proforma the proposal is relating to “Specifications/Façade Treatment etc.”, it has been mentioned: “Adding architectural elements at driveways with lighting design to transform the arrival experience from Day to Night.”

The Architect has further stated: “The revision and upgradation is being carried out keeping in mind the newer and fresh design elements proposed for greater and bold look to building.”

b) The Commission noted that when evaluating the case for additions or alterations, it did not take into account the existing built construction at the site. This relates only to the proposal for additions and alterations.

c) To provide clarity regarding the existing site conditions and the layout of the area under consideration, updated and uncut site photographs shall be submitted. The photographs shall clearly depict the existing conditions and be suitably annotated to identify the area under proposal. Further, the submission refers to a double-height space; however, the same is not clearly understood from the submitted drawings. Accordingly, the revised submission shall clearly identify and depict the existing double-height area through appropriately annotated site photographs and relevant drawings, including sections from that area, along with other requisite areas, to facilitate a clear understanding and assessment of the proposal by the Commission.

d) To provide greater clarity regarding the proposal and its visual impact within the existing context, the proposed interventions shall be appropriately superimposed on the existing superstructure.
