Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday unveiled Seva Teerth, the new building of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), and Kartavya Bhavan 1 and 2.

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.

Kartavya Bhavan 1 and 2 accommodate several key ministries, including defence, finance, health and family welfare, agriculture, law and justice and others.

Inauguration marks a key milestone

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, said a statement by the Prime Minister’s office.

"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," the statement read.

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.
