PM Narendra Modi inaugurates the new 'Seva Teerth' complex housing the PMO, Cabinet Secretariat & NSCS, marking a shift from South Block.

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

New Delhi, Feb 13

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday unveiled the new complex named 'Seva Teerth', which houses the Prime Minister's Office, National Security Council Secretariat and the Cabinet Secretariat.

As the Prime Minister unveiled the iconic structure, he was accompanied by several Union Ministers, including MoS in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh, Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and other high-profile dignitaries.

The occasion marks a significant milestone, a formal transition from the old PMO office at South Block to 'Seva Teerth', the new state-of-the-art complex on Kartavya Path, previously known as Rajpath.

The new PMO office, situated barely about one kilometre from the iconic South Block building on Raisina Hill, will serve as the new cornerstone of governance, bringing the entire administrative machinery in proximity.

The Prime Minister will also unveil the Kartavya Bhawan complex - 1 & 2 in the evening, from where several high-profile ministries, including the Finance, Defence, Health & Family Welfare, Education and others will operate.

For decades, various ministries have operated from scattered, ageing buildings across the Central Vista, creating logistical hurdles and coordination gaps.

With the new complexes being inaugurated, this will resolve long-pending issues by integrating them into modern and digitally enabled infrastructure.

According to officials, the new complexes feature digitally integrated offices, structured public interface zones and centralised reception facilities. These features will enhance collaboration, efficiency, seamless governance, improved citizen engagement and enhanced 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," said an official statement.

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, the statement mentioned.

'Seva Teerth' is such a beautiful and meaningful name. It truly reflects the spirit of service. The focus on green building standards (GRIHA 4-Star) is commendable. In a country facing climate challenges, our government leading by example with renewable energy and water conservation is the right step.

While a modern office is good, I hope the massive expenditure on this Central Vista project is justified. We have pressing issues in healthcare and education. The government must ensure that this "citizen-centric" promise is real and not just about a fancy building. The proof will be in how it functions for the common man.

As someone who has visited government offices for work, the "structured public interface zones" sound like a blessing. The old system could be so confusing. If this makes interacting with ministries like Finance or Defence smoother for businesses and citizens, it's a win for everyone's productivity.

Bringing PMO, NSCS, and Cabinet Secretariat under one roof is a masterstroke for national security and decision-making. In today's fast-paced world, having Ajit Doval's team and the PM's office a corridor away instead of a kilometer can make a critical difference. Jai Hind!

The symbolism is powerful. From 'Rajpath' (Path of Rule) to 'Kartavya Path' (Path of Duty) and now 'Seva Teerth' (Pilgrimage of Service). It reflects a changing mindset in governance. Hoping the officials working there are inspired by the name every day to serve the people better.
