February 12, 2026, New Delhi : The central seat of the Indian government is undergoing its most significant transition in decades as the Prime Minister Office officially prepares to move from its long-standing home in South Block. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the new complex on 13 February 2026, marking a pivotal moment in the nation’s administrative history. Starting tomorrow, the administrative heart of the country will operate from this newly constructed facility named Seva Teerth.
The relocation marks the end of an era for the British-built South Block, which has housed the highest offices of the land since independence. The new Seva Teerth complex will not only accommodate the Prime Minister Office but also the Cabinet Secretariat and the National Security Council Secretariat. This shift is designed to improve inter-departmental coordination and provide a high-tech working environment that meets current security and digital standards.
In addition to the main executive building, the government is also opening two major office structures nearby called Kartavya Bhavan. These will serve as the new headquarters for several critical ministries including Finance, Defence, and Health. While the historic buildings on Raisina Hill are slated to eventually become public museums, the move to these modern facilities signifies a transition toward a more streamlined and service-oriented administrative framework for the nation.
