The Bihar government has granted administrative approval for a Rs 26 crore combined office building at the Supaul collectorate complex, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said on Sunday. The six-storey structure will house district-level offices of several departments.
The proposed building will be constructed as a G+5 facility, meaning it will have a ground floor and five additional floors. According to the chief minister, bringing multiple departmental offices into one combined building is intended to make district administration more convenient and streamlined.
Choudhary announced the approval in a post on X. “Administrative approval has been granted for a project costing approximately Rs 26 crore for the construction of a combined office building (G+5) in the Collectorate complex in Supaul,” he said.
The project is also expected to affect how residents access government services at the district headquarters. The chief minister said the consolidated administrative facility would make it easier for ordinary citizens to reach government departments and obtain services.
The announcement places the project within the existing Supaul collectorate complex rather than identifying a separate site. The source statement does not specify the departments that will move into the building, the proposed construction schedule, the tendering process or the expected completion date.
District collectorate complexes are important points of contact between residents and the state administration, particularly for services handled by multiple departments. A combined office building can bring these offices into a shared administrative setting, but the effectiveness of the project will also depend on its implementation, allocation of departments and arrangements for public access once construction is completed.
The approval announced by the chief minister establishes the sanctioned project cost and the proposed G+5 format. Further details on execution and timelines were not included in the announcement.
