NEW DELHI: The colonial era Rashtrapati Bhavan complex has earned a new sobriquet for itself -4H township. The past few years has seen the humane mesh with the high tech, heritage married to happiness giving this venerable address a modern face lift. New residential quarters, a "smart" connected colony, English speaking courses, health and wellness classes, and perhaps the most important -a green transport service within the vast 330 acre area- have all contributed to this change.A string of initiatives undertaken by outgoing President Pranab Mukherjee has transformed the life of the inhabitants. A case in point is the e-rickshaw service within the huge compounds of the presidential estate.

The project, say officials, will have the added benefit of providing employment opportunities to the unemployed residents of the estate.One of the cornerstones of the improved quality of life at the presidential estate is the introduction of an initiative, code named 4S.
