This Friday marks a significant occasion as the Indian Prime Minister's Office (PMO) holds its last cabinet meeting in the iconic South Block, a building that has been the operational center for the PMO since India's independence. Scheduled for 4 PM, this meeting is seen as a ceremonial farewell to the 80-year-old structure that has played a pivotal role in India's political history. Government sources hint that this gathering will also have symbolic importance, reflecting on the legacy of the South Block as the PMO prepares for a new chapter.

The move to the new complex, Seva Teerth, is part of the Central Vista redevelopment project and signifies a major shift in the operational dynamics of the Indian government. Constructed at a cost of ₹1,189 crore, Seva Teerth encompasses separate buildings for the PMO, Cabinet Secretariat, and the National Security Council Secretariat, thereby modernizing the facilities used by key government bodies. The design and construction have been undertaken by Larsen & Toubro, covering an area of 226,203 square feet.

Along with the transition of the PMO to Seva Teerth, the North and South Blocks will be transformed into the 'Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum', preserving the historical significance of these buildings while highlighting the evolution of India. This shift not only marks a physical relocation but also symbolizes a new era for the Indian government, as it embraces modernity amid a rich historical backdrop.
