The meeting was presented by the government as a reflection of ‘rebuilding a new India’. Built on the site of British-era temporary barracks, the ‘Seva Teerth’ is set as a symbol of change – the colonial-era structure has been replaced by a modern governance center based on Indian values.

In a resolution passed at the meeting, the Cabinet reiterated that every decision taken in the ‘Seva Tirtha’ will be inspired by the spirit of service to 1.4 billion citizens and will be in line with the broader goal of nation building. The government described the campus as not just a workplace but a ‘pilgrimage of service’ encompassing duty, dedication and public welfare.

The Cabinet stressed that governance from the new campus will be based on constitutional values, including dignity, equality and justice for all citizens. It reaffirmed that ‘Seva Teerth’ will function as a center of empowerment rather than display of power, guided by the principle of “Nagarik Devo Bhava” – i.e. treating citizens first.
