On 3oth of December, “President Droupadi Murmu concluded her winter sojourn by interacting with Veer Naaris and felicitating them at Rashtrapati Nilayam, Secunderabad”.
The location of ‘The Retreat Building’ in Shimla and the ‘Rashtrapati Nilayam’ in Hyderabad (Presidential Retreats) suggest the integrative role of the office of the President in the country.
The locations, one in the north and another in the south, symbolize the unity of the country and the unity of the nation’s diverse cultures and people.
After India attained independence, the Rashtrapati Nilayam building, located at Bolarum in the city, was taken over from the Nizam of Hyderabad and handed over to the President’s Secretariat.
The building, which was constructed in 1860, has a total land area of 90 acres. It is a single-storied building containing 11 rooms in its premises. It has a dining hall, cinema hall, darbar hall, morning room, dining room, etc. At least once a year, the President visits the Rashtrapati Nilayam and conducts official business from there.
