New change in PMO Block after longtime.

PMO to Move From South Block to New Central Vista Address 78 Years After 1947 According to official sources, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), which is now housed in the South Block, will move to Executive Enclave, which is a few hundred metres away, next month. Under the Central Vista project, the Executive Enclave is prepared to accommodate the PMO and other high-level government agencies. In addition to the PMO, the Executive Enclave houses the National Security Council Secretariat, the Cabinet Secretariat, and a conference centre. Additionally, the prime minister’s home is nearer to the new PMO.

Space limitations were the main reason why new office buildings had to be built. The old buildings did not have modern facilities. It was felt that the Indian government needed new buildings in sync with its image as an emerging economic power.

Previously, the Prime Minister opened Kartavya Bhavan-3 this month, which housed the Home Affairs and Personnel ministries. The prime minister stated in his speech following the building’s inauguration that buildings built during the British colonial era had been used by India’s administrative apparatus. He discussed the unfavourable working circumstances in these dilapidated structures, which are devoid of sufficient room, ventilation, and illumination. He added that it is hard to comprehend how a significant ministry like the Ministry of Home Affairs operated out of a single building with inadequate infrastructure for almost a century. The new PMO is located near the North and South blocks in the Executive Enclave (black-circled area). According to officials, the new PMO may choose a new moniker that follows the Centre’s practice of calling all Central Vista projects. The new PMO may be named to embody the idea of ‘sewa’ (service), according to reports. In his inaugural speech to the PMO following his third term in office, the prime minister expressed his desire for the PMO to develop into a venue for public service. “You should make the PMO ‘people’s PMO. He declared, “It can’t be Modi’s PMO.”
