Introduction

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.
