PUBLIC (BUILDINGS) DEPARTMENT
G.O. Ms. No.1080 Dated the 1st September, 2003
ORDER:-
The present Secretariat consists of the main building constructed in
1781 A.D. and the Namakkal Kavignar Maaligai constructed in 1975. The
Namakkal Mavignar Maligai building was designed and constructed just as an
office accommodation without any of the state-of-the-art facilities that are
required of a modern Secretariat. The interior of the Namakkal Kavignar
Maligai building has developed cracks and leakages at several places putting
the staff to great difficulty in attending to their work. There is no space
to put up any new building in the existing campus. In view of the major
problem of shortage of space, structural defects and the lack of other
facilities in the existing buildings of the Secretariat, the Government has
been considering the construction of a new Secretariat Complex for some time
past. The States like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat have got imposing
Secretariat buildings with all modern facilities. The Government of Kerala
has also built up a separate Legislative Assembly complex for the State.
Considering all these factors, the Government has decided to construct a new
Secretariat complex along with the Legislative Assembly Hall for Tamil Nadu
with all facilities.
