The location of ‘The Retreat Building’ in Shimla and the ‘Rashtrapati Nilayam’ in Hyderabad are indicative of the integrative role of the Office of the President of India in our country.
These locations, one in the north and another in the south symbolise the unity of the country and the unity of the diverse cultures and people.
Located at Bolarum in the city, the Rashtrapati Nilayam building was taken over from the Nizam of Hyderabad after India attained independence and handed it over to the President’s Secretariat.
Constructed in 1860, this building has a total land area of 90 acres. A single-storied building, it contains in its premises 11 rooms.
It also has a Dining Hall, Cinema Hall, Darbar Hall, and Dining room, among others.
The President of India visits the Rashtrapati Nilayam and stays there at least once a year and conducts official business from the Nilayam.
