President Droupadi Murmu will inaugurate several new facilities at Rashtrapati Nilayam in Bolarum, Hyderabad, today during her winter sojourn. The facilities include a state-of-the-art Visitors’ Facilitation Centre and a souvenir shop, aimed at enhancing the experience for guests visiting the historic premises. The President will also lay the foundation stone for multiple development projects, signifying the ongoing modernization efforts at Rashtrapati Nilayam. President Murmu arrived at the Nilayam last evening, where she will stay until December 21.

On Friday, President Murmu will present the prestigious President’s Colours to the College of Defence Management (CDM) in Secunderabad. Established in 1970, the CDM focuses on equipping senior military leaders with strategic and managerial skills essential for modern warfare. The presentation of the Colours marks a monumental achievement in the institution’s history, further cementing its legacy as a cornerstone of leadership and management training for the Indian Armed Forces. The event underscores the government’s commitment to fostering excellence in defence education.

During her stay, President Murmu’s office will operate from Rashtrapati Nilayam. Her visit reflects the importance of the historic site, which serves as the President’s retreat in South India. The newly inaugurated facilities and planned initiatives are expected to elevate the stature of Rashtrapati Nilayam as a landmark in Hyderabad, blending history with modernity.
