The name of New Capital which was chosen as the residence and administrative centre of British Viceroy in India was Delhi
Explanation:
- Calcutta was India’s capital at the time of the British Raj until the year December 1911. Calcutta had been at the forefront of nationalistic movements since the late 19th century leading to the partitioning of Bengal, a decision taken by Lord Curzon, then the Viceroy of British India.
- After the capital shifted from Calcutta (Kolkata) to Delhi, the Viceroy had then occupied the newly constructed Viceroy house, which had been designed by the famed architecture by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
- Until the year 1931, the palace was not officially opened, although construction started in the year in 1912. Today, India's President uses this building, now called Rashtrapati Bhavan
