(A) ‘4059’ – PUBLIC
WORKS.
With the rapid development activities and
change of socio-economic policy of the
Government thereby bringing about
decentralization of administration, the need
for establishment and augmentation of
administrative centre in the districts and
sub-divisions is inevitable. After the
creation of 8 sub-divisions in addition to
the districts, the development of
infrastructural facilities at all
sub-divisions was given higher priority.
The Sikkim Public Works (Building & Housing)
Department is solely responsible for the
construction of Non-Residential
accommodations under Public Works. A great
emphasis was given in the 10th Plan period
to bring administration closer to the people
by way of de-centralization of the
administrative structure to village level.
For this purpose the basic infrastructure
viz. the office building in an around
Gangtok and in the districts and
sub-divisions have been covered. All
non-residential building, Guest Houses,
Courts, Community Centers hospitals (other
the those constructed and maintained by
other government departments) and all other
public utility building of Government and
Semi- Government Organization including
those of autonomous bodies like Boards,
corporation Companies come under public
works. Office accommodation both in the
capital and the districts is the basic
infrastructure for providing efficient
administration for the convenience and
benefit of general public. The fact that a
number of Govt. offices are running in the
premises in the capital, as well as in the
district and Sub-Divisional Level Provides
ample evidence of acute shortage of Office
accommodation. It has therefore become a
necessary to construct more office buildings
especially in Gangtok, the capital. |
