Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday inaugurated the new Prime Minister’s Office at Seva Teerth, marking a major administrative shift in the capital.
For the first time since Independence, the PMO has moved out of the historic South Block, where it functioned for 78 years. The new complex is located near Raisina Hill as part of the revamped Central Vista project.
Along with Seva Teerth, the Prime Minister also inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan buildings. These offices will house several important ministries, bringing different departments closer together to improve coordination and efficiency.
Officials said the new PMO complex is designed with modern facilities, improved digital systems, better security arrangements and energy-efficient features. The aim is to create a more streamlined and citizen-focused administrative system.
With this shift, the iconic North Block and South Block buildings will no longer serve as the main centres of government operations. The government plans to convert them into the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum, which will showcase India’s history and heritage.
