Government Printing and Stationery Department
is about a century old service department established
in the year 1902. This department had started its
function with meager staff, however, it was re-organized
from time to time and staff increased. Government
used to place a grant under the stationery head at
the disposal of the department against which supplies
to various departments / offices were made free of
cost.
In the year 1970-71, after the dismemberment
of one unit, the Provincial Government decided to
commercialize the accounting procedure of the department
with an object to meet the offices stationery requirements
of the government departments conveniently. Since
then the department is working as a commercial concern.
