Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Seva Teerth, marking India's first PMO relocation since Independence. The modern integrated complex consolidates the Prime Minister's Office, National Security Council Secretariat, and Cabinet Secretariat under one roof. Modi described the British-era North and South Blocks as "colonial relics," emphasizing Seva Teerth reflects "new India" building toward "Viksit Bharat." He released a Rs 100 commemorative coin and announced key initiatives from the new office: PM Rahat scheme for accident victims, doubling Lakhpati Didis target to 6 crore, expanding Agriculture Infrastructure Fund to Rs 2 lakh crore, and launching Rs 10,000 crore Startup India Fund 2.0. The vacated South-North Blocks will become 'Yuge Yugeen Bharat Sangrahalaya' museum.
