PMO Renamed Seva Teerth for Service
The Prime Minister's Office in India is being renamed Seva Teerth.
This is part of a bigger plan to change the names of important government buildings to show that they are for serving the people, not just having power.
The new name is part of a project called the Central Vista redevelopment.
Other buildings like Raj Bhavans are being renamed Lok Bhavans, and Rajpath is now Kartavya Path.
The Prime Minister's official home was also renamed Lok Kalyan Marg in 2016.
All these changes are meant to remind everyone in the government that their job is to help the people and be responsible.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has been renamed Seva Teerth as part of the Central Vista redevelopment project.
The renaming is part of a broader initiative to shift the focus of governance from authority to service.
Other institutions like Raj Bhavans are being renamed Lok Bhavans, and Rajpath is now Kartavya Path.
The Prime Minister’s official residence was renamed Lok Kalyan Marg in 2016 to reflect a welfare-driven approach.
The Central Secretariat is now designated Kartavya Bhavan, reinforcing the idea of public service.
