PM Modi Inaugurates New PMO at Seva Teerth Complex in Historic Ceremony
Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially inaugurated the new Prime Minister's Office (PMO) at the Seva Teerth complex, marking a significant transition in India's administrative history. This move relocates the PMO from its long-standing location at South Block, where it had been housed for eight decades.
Unveiling of Seva Teerth Plaque and Symbolic Motto
During the inauguration ceremony, PM Modi unveiled the plaque of Seva Teerth at the new complex. The name is prominently inscribed in Devanagari script on the wall of the building, emphasizing cultural heritage. Below the inscription, the motto 'Nagrik Devo Bhava' is displayed, which translates to 'citizen is akin to God'. This phrase underscores the government's commitment to citizen-centric governance and public service.
Historic Move After Eight Decades
The relocation of the PMO from South Block to the Seva Teerth complex represents a major administrative shift. South Block had served as the office for India's prime ministers since the country's early post-independence years. The move to the new complex is seen as part of broader efforts to modernize government infrastructure and enhance operational efficiency.
The Seva Teerth building, now housing the PMO, is designed to support contemporary administrative needs while reflecting India's cultural values. The inauguration event was attended by officials and marked with ceremonial activities, highlighting the importance of this transition in the nation's governance framework.
This development is expected to streamline government functions and improve accessibility for citizens, aligning with the motto's emphasis on public service. The new PMO setup at Seva Teerth is poised to become a central hub for policy-making and national administration under PM Modi's leadership.
