PM Modi Chairs First Historic Cabinet Meet at Newly Constructed ‘Seva Teerth’ PMO
What Happened Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the newly constructed ‘Seva Teerth’—the new Prime Minister’s Office—has officially commenced operations, hosting its first Union Cabinet meeting. The PM emphasized the new building will serve as a dynamic center for citizen empowerment rather than a traditional display of authority.
Where & When The historic first meeting took place on Tuesday at the new PMO premises in New Delhi. The milestone event coincided with the auspicious date of Yugabda 5127, Vikram Samvat 2082, Phalguna Shukla Ashtami.
Official Statement Taking to social media platform X, PM Modi declared: “On this occasion, the Cabinet also resolved that Seva Tirtha, built on the foundation of Swadeshi thinking, modern form, and the infinite potential of 140 crore countrymen, will continuously advance the sacred duty-yajna of national service.”
Ground Situation During the inaugural session, the Cabinet reportedly passed several unprecedented decisions in the national interest. The new PMO's daily work culture will be strictly guided by constitutional values, directly linking top-level governance to the dignity, equality, and justice of every Indian citizen.
Background For decades following Independence, the Indian government’s executive power has operated from the legacy South Block. Seva Teerth marks a definitive architectural and philosophical break from the past. It was constructed on the exact site where temporary barracks stood during the British era, serving as a powerful symbol of New India's transformation.
What’s Next Going forward, operations and policy decisions at Seva Teerth will be driven by the core philosophy of “Nagrik Devo Bhava” (the citizen is like God). The administration aims to double down on a transparent, sensitive, and accountable governance model heavily focused on simplifying life for the nation's most marginalized populations.
