PM Modi to inaugurate Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2 tomorrow

PM Narendra Modi inaugurates Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2, new integrated government complexes in Delhi to modernize administration.

"a transformative milestone in India's administrative governance architecture - Official Release"

New Delhi, February 12

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil the name of the Seva Teerth building complex in the national capital on February 13. Prime Minister will thereafter formally inaugurate Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2 and also address a public programme at Seva Teerth at around 6 PM, an official release from the Prime Minister's Office said.

The inauguration marks a transformative milestone in India's administrative governance architecture and reflects the Prime Minister's commitment to building a modern, efficient, accessible and citizen-centric governance ecosystem.

For decades, several key government offices and ministries operated from fragmented, ageing infrastructure spread across multiple locations in the Central Vista area. This dispersion led to operational inefficiencies, coordination challenges, escalating maintenance costs and sub-optimal working environments. The new building complexes address these issues by consolidating administrative functions within modern, future-ready facilities.

Seva Teerth houses the Prime Minister's Office, the National Security Council Secretariat, and the Cabinet Secretariat, all of which were previously located in separate buildings.

Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2 accommodate several key ministries, including the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Law & Justice, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers and Ministry of Tribal Affairs.

Both building complexes feature digitally integrated offices, structured public interface zones and centralised reception facilities. These features will foster collaboration, improve efficiency, enable seamless governance, enhance citizen engagement, and enhance employee well-being. Designed in accordance with 4-Star GRIHA standards, the complexes incorporate renewable energy systems, water conservation measures, waste management solutions and high-performance building envelopes.

These measures significantly reduce environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency. The building complexes also include comprehensive safety and security frameworks, such as smart access control systems, surveillance networks and advanced emergency response infrastructure, ensuring a secure and accessible environment for officials and visitors.

Modern infrastructure is welcome, but the real 'Seva' (service) will be measured by how quickly files move and problems get solved. Hope the efficiency translates to the ground level for citizens.

Good to see focus on GRIHA standards and sustainability. As a country, we need to lead by example in green building. The cost savings from efficiency should benefit the public exchequer in the long run.

While the project seems impressive, I do hope the massive expenditure on the Central Vista redevelopment was justified compared to other pressing national needs. The proof will be in its daily utility.

Having PMO, NSCS, and Cabinet Secretariat under one roof should improve coordination on national security matters. A much-needed upgrade for our strategic command center. Jai Hind!

'Kartavya Bhavan' is a powerful name – a reminder that these buildings house duty, not just power. Hope the officials working there are inspired by it every day to serve the people better.
