Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the new complex named ‘Seva Teerth’ in New Delhi, which now houses the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS), and the Cabinet Secretariat. Accompanied by Union Ministers and high-profile dignitaries, the Prime Minister marked the transition from the old PMO office at South Block to the modern ‘Seva Teerth’ on Kartavya Path, previously known as Rajpath. Situated close to the iconic South Block building, the new PMO office aims to centralize governance functions for improved efficiency and coordination.
The inauguration also included the unveiling of the Kartavya Bhawan complex – 1 & 2, where key ministries like Finance, Defence, Health & Family Welfare, and Education will operate. This move consolidates various ministries that were previously spread across aging buildings in Central Vista, addressing logistical challenges and enhancing operational efficiency through modern infrastructure. The new complexes are designed to integrate digital technologies, public interface zones, and reception facilities to promote collaboration, seamless governance, and citizen engagement.
The state-of-the-art complexes adhere to 4-Star GRIHA standards, incorporating renewable energy systems, water conservation measures, waste management solutions, and high-performance building envelopes to reduce environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, comprehensive safety and security features, including smart access control systems and surveillance networks, ensure a secure environment for officials and visitors. This transformative milestone in India’s administrative governance architecture underscores the Prime Minister’s vision for a modern, efficient, and citizen-centric governance ecosystem.
