Vikasa Soudha, the sister building situated to the south of Vidhana Soudha, was built with the intention of housing some of the legislative offices.

One can easily reach Vikasa Soudha because there are state transport buses and metro buses plying to this spot from nearby bus stands like Majestic Station. A significant feature of this Legislative home is that the construction of the building reflects modern outlook but also holds the gloss of traditional south Indian culture.

It is constructed on an area of 8 acres and has an acquired built up area of 58,274 sq m. The total cost of this building is estimated to be about 150 Crores. The eight-floor building houses fifteen conference halls along with more than three hundred and fifty rooms.

The construction of Vikasa Soudha took many years. It has an impressive interior decoration of wooden carvings and a brilliant ornamental stone work in the external walls. The giant building is also impregnated with most modern and sophisticated facilities than any other legislative buildings in the country.
