The relocation of the Prime Minister's Office to the Seva Teerth Complex under the Central Vista Redevelopment Project reflects an attempt to align physical infrastructure with administrative safety, capacity expansion and a symbolic shift from colonial-era governance to citizen-centric administration.

Suggestions to improve:

  • Could strengthen by briefly mentioning the ₹20,000 crore Central Vista project scope to establish the scale and ambition of this redevelopment initiative

Governance and Developmental Linkages:
1. Administrative efficiency: Modern integrated offices improve coordination among ministries, decision speed, and crisis management capacity in a complex economy.

2. Symbolic Transformation: Replacing colonial structures signals a governance model rooted in national identity and public service orientation.

3. Associated welfare & Economic visions: Initiatives like Lakhpati Didi (women-led livelihoods), Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (rural productivity) and Startup India Seed fund 2.0 (innovation ecosystem) reflect inclusive growth and entrepreneurship aligned with Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.

Suggestions to improve:

  • Could elaborate on specific governance improvements like integrated command and control systems, unified security protocols, and digital connectivity enabling real-time inter-ministerial coordination
  • Can strengthen the welfare-governance linkage by explaining how modern infrastructure supports digital governance initiatives like PM-WANI (Wi-Fi Access Network Interface) and enhances citizen service delivery through integrated government complexes

What you wrote:

If institutional efficiency translates into faster delivery and better coordination, such infrastructure investments can strengthen state capacity - the core driver of inclusive development and governance legitimacy.

Suggestions to improve:

  • Could be more forward-looking by referencing constitutional values of efficient governance (Article 39) or connecting to SDG 16 on effective institutions

Your answer demonstrates good analytical thinking and policy awareness, effectively connecting infrastructure development to governance philosophy. However, it could benefit from more specific details about the PMO relocation's direct governance impacts and stronger evidence linking Central Vista to the mentioned welfare measures.
