New Delhi, Feb 13: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday termed the inauguration of the new Prime Minister’s Office ‘Seva Teerth’ by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a historic step towards placing public service above all at the very heart of Indian democracy.
In a message on social media, the Home Minister said, “Today is historic day in placing public service at the very centre of Indian democracy, as Modi Ji inaugurated the new Prime Minister’s Office, ‘Seva Teerth’. ‘Seva Teerth’ symbolises the government’s commitment to service under Modi Ji’s leadership over the past 11 years. By ensuring that development and welfare initiatives reach every citizen, this will prove to be a milestone in building a developed and self-reliant India.”
The new complex named ‘Seva Teerth’ houses the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS) and the Cabinet Secretariat.
As the PM Modi unveiled the iconic structure, he was accompanied by several Union Ministers, including MoS in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh, Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and other dignitaries.
The new PMO office, situated barely about one kilometre from the iconic South Block building on Raisina Hill, will serve as the new cornerstone of governance, bringing the entire administrative machinery in proximity.
