PM Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Seva Teerth complex along with Kartavya Bhavan-1 and Kartavya Bhavan-2.
The inauguration marks a transformative milestone in India’s administrative governance architecture, as Seva Teerth will house the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the National Security Council Secretariat and the Cabinet Secretariat.
Kartavya Bhavan-1 and 2 will accommodate several key ministries, including the Ministry of Finance, Defence, Health & Family Welfare and Education.
According to officials, PM Modi will first unveil the name of the building complex, Seva Teerth, around 1.30 pm. He will then inaugurate Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan-1 and 2, and later address a public programme at Seva Teerth at around 6 pm.
The new complex includes digitally integrated offices, centralised reception areas, and dedicated public interface zones. It will house the PMO, key ministries, and the National Security Council Secretariat.

These features are expected to boost collaboration, enhance efficiency, ensure seamless governance, improve citizen engagement and promote employee well-being.
Built in line with 4-Star GRIHA standards, the complexes incorporate renewable energy systems, water conservation mechanisms, waste management solutions and high-performance building envelopes.
“These measures significantly reduce environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency. The building complexes also include comprehensive safety and security frameworks, such as smart access control systems, surveillance networks and advanced emergency response infrastructure, ensuring a secure and accessible environment for officials and visitors,” an official statement said.
The state-of-the-art complex in the Central Vista area has been equipped with future-ready facilities and is designed to provide an optimal, modern working environment — something that was lacking in South Block.
As per available information, the ministries to be housed at Kartavya Bhavan-1 and 2 include the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Law & Justice, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers and Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
