PM Modi's first decisions from Seva Teerth "reflect spirit of seva", touch every section of society

PM Modi approves PM RAHAT scheme, doubles Lakhpati Didi target to 6 crore, and boosts Agri Fund to Rs 2 lakh crore from new Seva Teerth office.

"reflect a spirit of seva - officials"

New Delhi, February 13

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first decisions from Seva Teerth, which houses the Prime Minister's Office, the National Security Council Secretariat, the Cabinet Secretariat, "reflect a spirit of seva" and touch every section of society, officials said.

PM signed important files relating to important decisions for women, youth and vulnerable citizens.

PM Modi inaugurated 'Seva Teerth' on Friday.

Significant new initiatives taken include the PM RAHAT Scheme, doubling of target of Lakhpati Didis to 6 crore, doubling of the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund to Rs two lakh crore, Startup India Fund of Funds 2.0 with a corpus of Rs 10,000 crore.

In its very first set of decisions after shifting to Seva Teerth, PM Modi signed important files relating to decisions that reflect the spirit of Seva. These decisions touch every section of society: farmers, women, youth, and vulnerable citizens.

The Prime Minister has approved the launch of the PM RAHAT scheme. Under this initiative, accident victims will get cashless treatment of up to Rs 1.5 lakh, ensuring that no life is lost due to lack of immediate medical help.

The government has crossed the landmark of 3 crore Lakhpati Didis, more than a year ahead of the original March 2027 timeline.

PM Modi has now set a new, ambitious target of 6 crore Lakhpati Didis by March 2029, doubling both scale and aspiration.

In a move aimed at strengthening India's entire agriculture value chain, the PM Modi has approved doubling the outlay of the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund from Rs 1 lakh crore to Rs 2 lakh crore.

To power India's innovation ecosystem, especially in deep tech, early-stage ideas, advanced manufacturing and breakthrough technologies, the PM has approved the Startup India FoF 2.0 with a corpus of ₹10,000 crore.

The unveiling of Seva Teerth building complex 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, a release said.

For decades, several key government offices and ministries functioned from fragmented and 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, the Cabinet Secretariat, all of which were previously located across different locations.

PM RAHAT scheme is a much-needed initiative. Road accidents are a huge problem and immediate cashless treatment can save so many lives. Hope the implementation is smooth and reaches every corner of the country.

Consolidating offices into Seva Teerth is a good step for efficiency, but I hope the focus remains on ground-level results. The Agri Infra Fund doubling sounds great, but farmers need to see the benefits in terms of better storage and reduced post-harvest losses. The intent is good, execution is key.

As someone working in the startup space, the ₹10,000 crore Fund of Funds 2.0 is exciting news. Early-stage funding, especially for deep tech, is crucial for India to become a true innovation hub. This could be a game-changer for young entrepreneurs.

While the schemes are ambitious, I sincerely hope the benefits reach the most vulnerable citizens mentioned in the article. Sometimes there's a gap between announcement and reality at the grassroots. Wishing for the best outcome for all sections of society.
