“Science declares that a Building Fort must possess
Prescribed Height Breadth, Strength and Greatness”

The Public Works Department while constructing

Government buildings prepares Plans based on the
requirements of the user, design them for strength
and safety and construct the structure to withstand
natural calamities. In this respect, we keep in mind
the guiding principle stated in Thirukkural.
The Public Works Department hitherto incharge
of “Water Resources” and “Buildings” has since been
reorganised into two independent departments viz.
“Water Resources Department” and “Public Works
Department” in the interests of functional
specialisation and administrative convenience. This
has come into effect from 12.02.2008.

The Public Works Department is entrusted with

construction of buildings and their maintenance and
several related activities of various Government
Departments like School Education, Health & Family
Welfare, Home (Courts / Transport / Prisons / Fire &
Rescue), Revenue, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry,
Dairying and Fisheries, Tourism & Culture,
Employment & Training and Social Welfare &
Nutritious Meal Programme etc., This is besides the
construction and maintenance of its own department
 3

buildings. One of the most important tasks of this

department is to understand the building

requirements of various departments and provide
them in the best possible architecture, designs,
functional convenience, etc., and also to evolve type
designs so as to have standardization in the
buildings.
