A Modern Executive Campus in Central Vista

Seva Teerth is a landmark government office campus located within the Central Vista in New Delhi. Conceived as a secure, modern, and efficient administrative hub, Seva Teerth consolidates India’s highest executive offices into a unified campus.

Spread across Plot Nos. 36 and 38, the campus covers approximately 20.12 acres with a total built-up area of nearly 90,000 square metres. It brings together three key institutions:

• The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO)

• The National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS)

Previously operating from multiple locations across New Delhi, these offices are now integrated within a single, purpose-built complex designed for enhanced coordination and operational efficiency.

Plot No. 36 houses the new Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) complex. Earlier, PMO functions were dispersed between 7, Lok Kalyan Marg and South Block. The new campus consolidates these facilities into one integrated structure.

The PMO building includes:

The design reflects dignity blended with contemporary aesthetics:
