History

Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly

The state of Chhattisgarh was created by the Madhya Pradesh Reorganization Act 2000, approved by the President of India on 25 August 2000. The Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha came into existence with the creation of the state on 1 November 2000. The first session of the Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha was held at Jashpur hall of Rajkumar College in Raipur. Later, the Vidhan Sabha was shifted to the newly constructed Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha Bhavan at Vidhan Nagar, on Raipur–Baloda Bazar Road. A new building for Vidhan Sabha is under construction at Sector 19, Atal Nagar behind Indravati Bhawan & Mahanadi Bhawan. The groundbreaking ceremony was done by Bhupesh Baghel on 29 August 2020 in the presence of leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and other ministers. The construction is currently halted for 2021 and all tenders are cancelled by the Government of Chhattisgarh due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Chhattisgarh. Later from 2022, construction work resumed.

On 1 November 2025, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the formation of Chhattisgarh, the new building of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly in Sector 19, Nava Raipur (Atal Nagar) was formally inaugurated by Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India. The inauguration ceremony was attended by several leaders, including Om Birla, Ramen Deka, Vishnu Deo Sai, Raman Singh, Brijmohan Agrawal, Charandas Mahant, along with all Members of the Legislative Assembly of Chhattisgarh. The new complex — built at a cost of approximately ₹324 crore and spread over 51 acres — features a modern, eco-friendly design with provisions for solar energy and rainwater harvesting, reflecting a blend of contemporary infrastructure and regional cultural aesthetics.
