Leaving Dark Colonial History Behind, PM Modi To Move To ‘Seva Teerth’: All You Need To Know About New PMO
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will formally shift the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) from the South Block on Raisina Hill to a newly constructed complex named ‘Seva Teerth’ on February 13, 2026, marking the first relocation of the PMO since Independence in 1947. The move brings to a close nearly 80 years of the Prime Minister’s Secretariat functioning from the British-era Secretariat building designed by architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, constructed as part of New Delhi’s imperial capital project and inaugurated in 1931. With this transition, the government signals what it describes as both a structural modernisation of India’s administrative infrastructure and a symbolic step toward shedding colonial-era representations embedded in governance architecture.
