National Desk, Asom Barta, January 15, 2026:
As part of the Central Vista Redevelopment Project, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is set to relocate to a new address within the current month of January. The PMO, which has been functioning from the South Block on Raisina Hill since India’s independence in 1947, will now move to the newly constructed building named Seva Teerth-1.
Construction work on Seva Teerth-1 is almost complete, and the historic shift is expected to take place on one of the days this month. The new office complex will house not only the Prime Minister’s Office but also the Cabinet Secretariat and the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS).
In September last year, the Cabinet Secretariat was already relocated to Seva Teerth-2, while Seva Teerth-3 will accommodate the office of the National Security Adviser.
The entire Seva Teerth (Executive Enclave) complex, constructed by Larsen & Toubro, has involved a total estimated cost of ₹1,189 crore. The complex spans an area of 2,26,203 square feet.
Additionally, construction of a new official residence for the Prime Minister (Executive Enclave Part-2) is also underway. Upon completion, the Prime Minister will move from the current official residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg to this new residence.
In the coming years, the existing North Block and South Block buildings will be transformed into a public museum named ‘Yugin Yugin Bharat Sangrahalaya’ (Museum of Eternal India). On December 19, 2024, a technical cooperation agreement was signed with a French museum development agency for the development and curation of this museum.
This relocation marks a significant and symbolic chapter in India’s administrative history, blending modern governance infrastructure with the preservation of the nation’s architectural and historical legacy.
