New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated the Seva Teerth complex in New Delhi, a state-of-the-art building housing the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the National Security Council Secretariat, and the Cabinet Secretariat. The inauguration coincided with the 95th anniversary of New Delhi being formally inaugurated as India’s capital in 1931, adding historic significance to the occasion.

The complex also bears the motto ‘Nagriko Devo Bhava’, symbolizing citizen-centric governance.
On his first day in the new office, PM Modi took immediate steps to benefit women, youth, and vulnerable citizens. He approved the PM RAHAT Scheme, providing cashless treatment of up to ₹1.5 lakh for accident victims, ensuring timely medical care. The government also expanded the Lakhpati Didis self-help program for women, reaching 3 crore beneficiaries ahead of schedule, and set an ambitious target of 6 crore by March 2029.
