PM Modi to move to his new office on Makar Sankranti, a first since Independence

Key Highlights

• The complex has been designed to house the PMO, the Cabinet Secretariat, and the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS), with each three of them getting a separate building. advertisementThe new structure that will be housing the PMO is named 'Seva Teerth-1'.
• It boasts modern workspaces and grand ceremonial rooms, reflecting the theme of 'service' (sewa).
• The relocation of the PMO will mark the end of an era, as it has been located in the South Block since India's independence in 1947.
• While 'Seva Teerth 2' is already occupied by the Cabinet Secretariat, which relocated there in September last year, 'Seva Teerth-3' will accommodate the National Security Advisor's office. Once vacated, South and North Blocks will be converted into a public museum, 'Yuge Yugeen Bharat Sangrahalaya'.
• An agreement was signed on December 19, 2024 with France’s Museum Development Agency for the technical cooperation for the development of the planned museum. The entire Seva Teerth premises (also known as Executive Enclave) is being built at a cost of Rs 1,189 crore by Larsen & Toubro.
