Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Friday unveil the name of the new government complex, Seva Teerth, which will house the Prime Minister’s Office, the National Security Council Secretariat and the Cabinet Secretariat. These key offices have been functioning from different locations in the Central Vista area until now. The consolidation brings the core of India’s executive decision-making under a single administrative roof for the first time.
He will also formally inaugurate Seva Teerth along with Kartavya Bhavan-1 and Kartavya Bhavan-2, and address a public programme at the site at around 6 pm, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

For years, several ministries operated out of older and scattered buildings across Central Vista. According to the PMO, this arrangement led to coordination challenges and rising maintenance costs. The new complexes form a key part of the ongoing Central Vista redevelopment project aimed at modernising India’s administrative infrastructure.

The new complexes have been built to bring core administrative functions into one integrated space. The nomenclature, ‘Seva’ and ‘Kartavya’, meaning service and duty, signals an attempt to frame governance in the language of responsibility and citizen orientation.
Kartavya Bhavan-1 and 2 will house major ministries, including Information and Broadcasting, Health and Family Welfare, Corporate Affairs, Finance, Defence, Law and Justice, Education, Culture, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Chemicals and Fertilisers, and Tribal Affairs.
The PMO said the buildings feature structured public interface areas, digitally integrated offices, and centralised reception facilities to improve workflow and inter-ministerial coordination.
Both complexes meet 4-Star GRIHA standards and include water conservation measures, renewable energy systems, and waste management solutions.
Security features such as surveillance networks, smart access control, and emergency response infrastructure have also been incorporated.
