The Vikasa Soudha is the seat of various government and legislative offices of the Government of Karnataka. It is situated on the Dr. Ambedkar Road of Seshadripuram, on the north western end of Cubbon Park and South of the Vidhana Soudha. It is popularly known as the ‘Sister of Vidhana Soudha’ due to its strong resemblance to the Vidhana Soudha.[1] Construction of the building started during the tenure of Chief Minister S. M. Krishna and it was inaugurated on February 2005, with the purpose of serving as an annexe building, housing some ministries and legislative offices..[2][3]
