Ten attractive buildings in the shape of a 'mandal', including a main administrative building, have been prepared in the capital Deukhuri for the operation of the Lumbini provincial government. More than 95 percent of the building construction work has been completed within three years of the start of construction. However, the financial progress of the building, which cost 4.21 billion rupees, is only 70 percent.

The then Chief Minister Kul Prasad KC had loaded the ministry's materials in the temporary capital Butwal into a truck at midnight on Mangsir 20, 2079 and moved them to Deukhuri. After the ministry's materials were moved at midnight using Maoist cadres, the employees forcibly went to Deukhuri. Even now, the government is facing a shortage of employees because they refuse to go to Deukhuri, citing lack of infrastructure and service facilities. To solve the same problem, the Lumbini Provincial Government had prepared a plan to expand the capital city to a new location and started construction of the building from its own resources. On Falgun 3, 2079, the then Chief Minister Leela Giri had laid the foundation stone for the construction of the building. The plan to build government buildings in the permanent capital is a proud project of the provincial government.

The building was built on 17 bighas of land of Rapti Technical School in Deukhuri at a cost of Rs. 4.21 billion. Sharma Sugan JV had signed an agreement for the construction of the building. Pradeep Bhattarai, Project Chief Engineer of the Provincial Capital Construction Project Implementation Unit, said that more than 95 percent of the building construction is complete. “The overall progress of the building construction has reached more than 95 percent,” he said. “Now only the final painting, lighting installation and general interior finishing work are left.” He said that only some finishing work related to the border wall, road pitch, lighting installation and toilet materials are left. The construction of the outer compound and the blacktop of the roads leading to each ministry are being done. He said that work is being done to hand over all the buildings within the coming month.

The Lumbini provincial government is the first among the 7 provinces in the country to construct a building on its own land from its own resources in the implementation of federalism. Other provincial governments have not even been able to manage the land yet. The 9 ministries in the mandala-shaped structure being constructed in the capital, Deukhuri, will house the office of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers as a main administrative building. There are 96 rooms in the Chief Minister's Office building alone, including 2 large halls. The Chief Minister's Office is 6-storeyed with two lifts. There are 54/54 rooms in all the buildings of the 9 ministries. Each building has a meeting room and a multipurpose meeting hall. All the buildings have underground parking facilities. The first floor of all 10 buildings is disabled-friendly and the other floors have lift facilities. The rooms are equipped with HVAC facilities. The exterior view of each room is of a flower garden and a green environment. The buildings and roofs of the ministries are painted white and red.

While designing the buildings and land, the government has expanded the width of a main road and other roads connected to it to reach all the ministries and built them with drains and 10-foot sidewalks. After the construction of the buildings is completed and services start from the new building, the government is preparing to convert the buildings currently used by the ministry into housing for ministers and employees. Lumbini currently has 12 ministries, the Attorney General's Office, the Provincial Planning Commission, the Provincial Public Service Commission, and 7 directorates.

The then Chief Minister of Lumbini, Shankar Pokharel, had shifted the capital of Lumbini Province to Deukhuri with a plan to make the Deukhuri Valley region a modern city based on river civilization. The government is implementing the modern city plan, which covers 14 wards of three municipalities on the border of Dang and Arghakhanchi, by creating an ambitious provincial master plan to build a city worth one trillion rupees in 20 years at a cost of 25 billion rupees every year. For that, the first plan according to the master plan prepared by the Lumbini Provincial Government has been successfully implemented on time, said Lumbini Development Authority Executive Director Chhabiraj Pokharel. ‘Now we have entered the implementation phase of the Lumbini Province Capital Development Master Plan,’ he said, ‘The government has also started the work of classifying land and managing it and managing the capital.’ He said that the government has started managing it by classifying land into three categories for the construction of a well-organized city in the provincial capital.’
