February 12, New Delhi — Prime Minister Narendra Modi will officially announce the name of the building complex, Seva Teerth, on February 13, 2026, at approximately 1:30 PM. Following this, the Prime Minister will formally inaugurate Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2, and also address a public event at Seva Teerth at around 6:00 PM.
This inauguration marks a significant milestone in India's administrative governance, reflecting the Prime Minister's commitment to creating a modern, efficient, accessible, and citizen-centric governance system.
For decades, several key government offices and ministries operated from fragmented and aging infrastructure spread across multiple locations in the Central Vista area. This dispersion led to operational inefficiencies, coordination challenges, rising maintenance costs, and suboptimal 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, and the Cabinet Secretariat, all of which were previously located in different locations.
Kartavya Bhavan-1 & 2 accommodate several key ministries, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Law & Justice, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, and the 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 according to 4-Star GRIHA standards, the complexes incorporate renewable energy systems, water conservation measures, waste management solutions, and high-performance building envelopes. These measures significantly reduce 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.
