Amit Shah Hails PM Modi’s Inauguration Of ‘Seva Teerth’ As Milestone In Citizen-Centric Governance

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday hailed the inauguration of the new Prime Minister’s Office complex, ‘Seva Teerth’, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling it a historic step in placing public service at the core of Indian democracy.

Taking to X, Shah posted, “Today is a historic day in the direction of placing public service at the very heart of Indian democracy, as Modi ji has inaugurated the new Prime Minister’s Office ‘Seva Teerth’.”

“This ‘Seva Teerth’ is a symbol of the resolve of the government that has been running with the spirit of service under Modi ji’s leadership for the past 11 years. By ensuring the reach of development and public welfare initiatives to every citizen, this will prove to be a milestone in the building of a developed and self-reliant India,” the post further read.

Key Administrative Offices Housed in the New Complex

The newly constructed complex houses the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS), and the Cabinet Secretariat.

Located about one kilometre from the iconic South Block on Raisina Hill, the facility will likely serve as a new cornerstone of governance by bringing key arms of the administrative machinery into close proximity.

During the inauguration, PM Modi was accompanied by several Union Ministers, including Minister of State in the PMO Dr Jitendra Singh, Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, among other dignitaries.

Dedicating the ‘Seva Teerth’ and ‘Kartavya Bhavan’ complexes to the nation, the Prime Minister said the modern facilities represent a deep commitment to citizen-centric governance and national progress, marking a departure from colonial-era symbolism.

He recalled that British-era structures on Raisina Hill, including South Block and North Block, designed to project imperial authority over an ‘enslaved’ India.

In contrast, he said, ‘Seva Teerth’ is connected to ground level, symbolising humility and closeness to citizens, and created to fulfil the aspirations of 140 crore Indians.
