Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil the name of the building complex Seva Teerth on February 13 at 1:30 pm. PM Modi will also be inaugurating the Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan 1 and 2.
As per the official statement, PM Modi will also be addressing a public programme at Seva Teerth at 6:00 pm in New Delhi.
The inauguration of Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan will mark a transformative milestone in India’s administrative governance architecture while also reflecting PM Modi’s commitment to building a modern, efficient, accessible and citizen-centric governance ecosystem.
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.
Seva Teerth houses PMO and several other key offices
Seva Teerth will house the Prime Minister’s office, the National Security Council Secretariat, and the Cabinet Secretariat, which were earlier located across different locations. Bringing all the key premises in one enclosure, the Kartavya Bhavan 1 and 2 will also be accommodating several key ministries.
Digitally integrated offices
Both buildings feature digitally integrated offices, structured public interface zones and centralised reception facilities.
These features will foster 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.
Safety and security at Seva Teerth
At the same time, safety and security inside the premises will be paramount. Comprehensive frameworks have been embedded into the architecture of these complexes to create secure yet accessible spaces.
Seva Teerth has been integrated with smart access control systems to regulate entry and exit, ensuring that only authorised personnel can access sensitive areas.
Furthermore, the integrated surveillance around the central vista premises network will provide real-time monitoring, enhancing situational awareness and deterrence. Also, the advanced emergency response infrastructure, including fire detection, alarm systems and evacuation protocols, strengthens preparedness and response capabilities.
