The Union Cabinet has passed a resolution indicating the relocation of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) from the colonial-era South Block on Raisina Hill to the newly-built Seva Teerth, describing this move as a transition from a history of subjugation to the future of Viksit Bharat.
The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, met at South Block for the final time on Friday (February 13) evening, after which the resolution was adopted.
“Symbolically, this is another step of the country from the past of slavery towards the future of ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India). In the past years, instead of the culture of ‘power’, the culture of ‘service’ has been strengthened in the country. Today’s transition will further strengthen these values,” the resolution said.
“Today, we feel happy that the meeting of the Union Cabinet is being held for the last time in this chamber of South Block. This is not merely a moment of change of place; it is also a moment of the confluence of history and the future,” Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, while reading out the resolution.
