In a significant development, the newly constructed complex set to house the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has been officially named 'Seva Teerth'. This announcement, made on December 2, 2025, marks a new chapter for the administrative heart of India's executive branch.
From Lok Kalyan Marg to Seva Teerth
The move signifies a physical transition for the Prime Minister's principal workplace. The current official residence and workplace of the Prime Minister is at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi. This address was famously known as 7, Race Course Road before its renaming. The new 'Seva Teerth' complex will serve as the future operational base for the PMO, as previously reported by The Indian Express.
The Significance of the Name
The chosen name, 'Seva Teerth', carries profound symbolic weight. 'Seva' translates to 'service' in Hindi, a concept deeply embedded in the political discourse of the current administration led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'Teerth' refers to a pilgrimage site, a place of spiritual significance. The combination frames the new PMO complex not just as an office building, but as a sanctified space dedicated to public service.
This nomenclature aligns with the government's emphasis on governance as a form of duty and sacrifice. It projects an image of the PMO as a center wholly devoted to the nation's welfare, elevating its function beyond mere administration.
Context and Construction Timeline
The decision comes amidst a period of major infrastructural development in the nation's capital, which included the construction of the new Parliament building. The development of the new PMO complex has been a closely watched project, representing a modernization of the government's core operational facilities.
While the exact date for the PMO's relocation to 'Seva Teerth' has not been specified in this announcement, the formal naming is a clear indicator that the move is imminent. The shift will involve transferring the extensive bureaucratic machinery that supports the Prime Minister's daily functions and national decision-making processes.
The establishment of 'Seva Teerth' is more than an address change; it is a statement of intent. It reinforces the narrative of an administration focused on service, creating a lasting legacy tied to the physical space from which India is governed. The complex is poised to become the new nerve center of Indian politics and policy for the foreseeable future.
