News India Live, Digital Desk: On hearing the word ‘Raj Bhavan’, haven’t you ever felt that this is the place of some king, emperor or ruler? We live in a democratic country, where the people are the masters and the leaders are the servants. But still, the names of the residences and offices of our constitutional posts were still filled with the ‘Ruab’ of the British era.

But now all this has changed. The central government took a big and historic decision. ‘Raj Bhavan’ by changing the name of ‘Lok Bhavan’ And the name of the new premises of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) ‘Seva Teerth’ Is done.

This news may seem small to you, but its meaning is very deep. Let us understand in simple language why the government did this and what is its meaning.

1. Why ‘Lok Bhawan’ instead of Raj Bhawan?

In every state, the official residence of the Governor was called ‘Raj Bhavan’. The word ‘Raj’ simply means to rule or rule. This name was reminiscent of the era when British governors ruled the Indians.
now its name ‘Lok Bhavan’ (Lok Bhavan) has been done.

• Meaning: ‘Lok’ means the public. This name shows that the Governor’s house belongs to the public and he is sitting there for the welfare of the public, and not to rule over them. This reflects the true spirit of democracy.

2. PMO becomes ‘Seva Teerth’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new office and Executive Enclave is now ‘Seva Teerth’ Will be known as.

• Meaning: PMO is the place where the most important decisions of the country are taken. By calling it a ‘pilgrimage’, the government has given the message that sitting in power is not a luxury but a sacred responsibility. The Prime Minister is the ‘Pradhan Sevak’ and his office is a temple of service.

In addition, the Prime Minister’s residence ‘Service Kunj’ Will be said. Remember, first the name of Race Course Road was changed. ‘Lok Kalyan Marg’ was done, this is the next step in that direction.

3. Journey from ‘Rajpath’ to ‘Kartavya Path’

You may remember that some time ago the road in front of India Gate was renamed ‘Rajpath’. ‘Path of Duty’ Was done. The vision of the government is very clear – it wants to remove the “Colonial Mindset” from the mind.

Changing the name does not change the bricks of the buildings, but the perspective of the people working in them definitely changes. When an officer enters the ‘Seva Tirtha’, he will remember not the power of power, but his ‘duty’ to serve the public.
