New Delhi [India], February 14 : The Udyog Bhawan Metro Station in the national capital has now been renamed as Seva Teerth on Saturday.
The renaming of the station comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the new names for the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), now known as Seva teerth.
The station is part of the Delhi metro's Yellow line, beside the Lok Kalyan Marg metro station, giving easy public transport access to lakhs of people across the national capital.
While inaugurating the Seva Teerth (PMO) and Kartavya Bhavan-1 and 2 on Friday, the Prime Minister said that a new history is being made and the day has become a witness to a new beginning in India's development journey.
He said that as the country moves towards a Viksit Bharat, it is vital that India sheds every trace of a colonial mindset.
The Prime Minister emphasised that in the scriptures, Vijaya Ekadashi has held great significance, as the resolve taken on this day always leads to victory.
He said that with the resolve of a developed India, all are entering the Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan. He underlined that the divine blessings for victory in this goal are with them. He extended congratulations to everyone, including the PMO team, the Cabinet Secretariat, and employees of various departments, on Seva Teerth and the new buildings. He expressed gratitude to all engineers and worker colleagues associated with their construction.
Earlier today, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that Seva Teerth is a symbol of unwavering commitment to public welfare and has reshaped the spirit of service and duty.

While ensuring the reach of development and public welfare to every citizen, these buildings will prove to be a decisive milestone in the construction of a developed and self-reliant India," he wrote.
