Patna : In a move to improve governance transparency and institutional memory, the General Administration Department (GAD) of Bihar has published a comprehensive compilation of all circulars issued between 2022 and 2024.
The initiative aims to provide a centralised, accessible resource for government officials and the public, ensuring continuity in administrative processes. The compilation was formally launched by Deepak Singh, Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue and Land Reforms Department, at an event attended by senior officials.
Strengthening Institutional Memory
Speaking at the launch, Singh highlighted the importance of preserving institutional knowledge, particularly as officials retire or transfer. “This effort ensures that crucial policies and administrative decisions remain accessible, preventing disruptions in governance,” he said.
The compilation is expected to serve as a one-stop reference for government policies, helping in decision-making, compliance, and administrative efficiency.
User-Friendly Enhancements
To make the compilation more accessible, Singh proposed several improvements, including:
A drop-down menu for easy navigation.
Keyword search functionality in both English and Hindi.
Grouping of master circulars for quick reference.

Dr B. Rajender, Additional Chief Secretary, General Administration Department
