Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday (August 6, 2025) that his government is working with a holistic vision to rejuvenate infrastructure nationwide, asserting that India has witnessed a governance model that is transparent, sensitive and citizen-centric over the last 11 years.
Speaking at an event at Kartavya Path hours after inaugurating Kartavya Bhavan, the first of the 10 upcoming state-of-the-art Common Central Secretariat buildings which will house offices of all ministries, he said the project along with other infrastructure facilities symbolise Indiaâs global vision.
The governmentâs administrative machinery for decades ran from British-era buildings, where the working conditions were poor and marked by inadequate space, light and ventilation, he said.
âWe have to work together to write the success story of âMake in Indiaâ and Aatmanirbhar Bharat. It should be our resolve that we will scale up our and the countryâs productivity,â he said.
He added, âKartavya Bhavan embodies the resolve to fulfil the nationâs dreams. It will guide the policies and direction of a developed India.â

He said it was also a moment for introspection as India could not develop at the same pace as many other countries, which got independence around the time it did and progressed ahead.
âIt is our responsibility that we should not leave current problems to future generations,â he said.
