Union Home Minister Amit Shah has declared the naming of the new Prime Minister's Office complex as 'Seva Teerth' a significant landmark in India's national journey. He stated that this move by Prime Minister Narendra Modi reinforces the government's unwavering commitment to public service over the past eleven years.
A Symbol of Service and Governance
In a social media post on Tuesday, December 3, 2025, Amit Shah elaborated on the symbolism behind the name. He emphasized that for over a decade, the Modi administration has been defined not by the pursuit of power, but by a culture of dedicated service. Shah portrayed the Prime Minister as the "chief servant" of the nation, working tirelessly for its citizens.
"In this direction, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has reiterated the resolve for service and named the Prime Minister's Office 'Seva Teerth'," Shah wrote. He described this act as an important milestone in the golden journey of building a developed and excellent India by prioritizing service and good governance above all else.
Architectural and Functional Details of Seva Teerth
The newly constructed complex, a key component of the government's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment project in the national capital, is nearing completion. It is expected that the PMO will soon relocate from its current location in South Block to this modern facility.
The 'Seva Teerth' complex is not a single building but a trio of structures designed to house the country's top administrative and security bodies:
- The Prime Minister's Office (PMO)
- The Cabinet Secretariat
- The National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS)
The transition to the new premises has already begun. The Cabinet Secretariat moved into its designated building, Seva Teerth-2, in September, marking a phased shift for the central government's nerve center.
Context and Broader Implications
This development is part of the larger Central Vista overhaul, which aims to modernize the central administrative area of New Delhi. The rebranding of the PMO complex as 'Seva Teerth' is framed as a philosophical cornerstone of this physical transformation, aligning infrastructure with the governing ideology.
Amit Shah's statement strategically links the government's infrastructural progress with its core political narrative of servant leadership and relentless work ethic. The announcement serves to highlight the administration's achievements and future direction as it prepares to operate from a new, state-of-the-art headquarters.
