New Delhi (02.12.2025): The new complex to house the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) will be known as 'Seva Teerth', which is in the final stages of completion. It was earlier known as the 'Executive Enclave' under the Central Vista Redevelopment Project.
Besides the PMO, the 'Seva Teerth' will also comprise offices of the Cabinet Secretariat, National Security Council Secretariat and India House, which will be a venue for high-level talks with visiting dignitaries.
The 'Seva Teerth' will be a workplace designed to reflect the spirit of service and where national priorities take shape. The idea of governance is moving from 'satta' (power) to 'seva' (service) and from authority to responsibility that the change was not just administrative, but cultural and moral. Raj Bhawans, the residences of Governors, too, are being renamed as 'Lok Bhawans' and offices of Governor and Lt Governor as Lok Bhawan or Lok Niwas.
Recently, the government renamed Rajpath, the tree-lined avenue from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate, as Kartavya Path. The Prime Minister's official residence was renamed Lok Kalyan Marg in 2016, a name that conveys welfare, not exclusivity and a reminder of the work that lies ahead for every elected government.
The Central Secretariat is named Kartavya Bhavan, a vast administrative hub built around the idea that public service is a commitment.
