Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will unveil the name of the building complex Seva Teerth on 13th
February, 2026 at around 1:30 PM. Prime Minister will thereafter formally inaugurate Seva Teerth and
Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2 and also address a public programme at Seva Teerth at around 6 PM.
The inauguration marks a transformative milestone in India’s administrative governance architecture and
reflects the Prime Minister’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 the Prime Minister’s Office, the National Security Council Secretariat, the Cabinet
Secretariat, all of which were previously located across different locations.
Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2 accommodate several key ministries, including 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.
Both building complexes feature digitally integrated offices, structured public interface zones and
centralized 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. These measures significantlyreduce 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.
