Prime Minister Narendra Modi

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is slated to be relocated to a new office building, which will be named 'Sewa Teerth'.

PMO is set to move out of its old address in South Block. The PMO will operate from Sewa Teerth-1, one of three modern buildings constructed in Executive Enclave-I beside Vayu Bhawan, according to a report by News18.

Sewa Teerth-2 and Sewa teerth-3 will house the Cabinet Secretariat and the National Security Advisor’s Office.

The new complex, which is in the final stages of completion, was earlier known as the 'Executive Enclave' under the Central Vista Redevelopment project.

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the spaces of governance have been reshaped to reflect 'kartavya (duty)' and transparency, sources said, adding every name, every building and every symbol now points to a simple idea: government exists to serve, NDTV reported.

The names of Raj Bhavans - the official residence of Governors - is also being changed to Lok Bhavan in keeping with the government's motto of public service.

The Prime Minister's official residence was renamed Lok Kalyan Marg in 2016. A name that conveys welfare, not exclusivity, sources said. The Central Secretariat has been renamed Kartavya Bhavan. Similarly, Rajpath became Kartavya Path, telegraphing the message that power is not an entitlement; it is a duty.
