Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the newly constructed buildings housing the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and the Central Secretariat represent a significant milestone in India’s journey towards becoming a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (developed India), underscoring the government’s commitment to citizen-centric governance and national progress.
Inaugurating the new PMO building, named Seva Teerth, along with two Central Secretariat complexes — Kartavya Bhawan 1 and Kartavya Bhawan 2 — the Prime Minister said the transition from the British-era South Block and North Block was a crucial step in shedding remnants of the colonial mindset.
“Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhawan 1 and 2 mark an important milestone in India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat. These reflect our commitment to citizen-centric governance and national progress,” Modi said while addressing an event attended by Union ministers, senior bureaucrats and other central government officials.
The Prime Minister noted that over the past 11 years, India has witnessed the emergence of a new model of governance, where citizens remain at the centre of policy-making and decision processes.
He added that modern, integrated and efficient workspaces will help improve coordination, enhance efficiency and further strengthen service delivery to the people, in line with the government’s vision of transparent and responsive administration.
