The “State Secretariat Building” is an important hallmark of the capital city of Patna. The building is one of the most important buildings of the state of Bihar, where all the significant decisions regarding the state of Bihar is taken and implemented. The State Secretariat Building is situated in the old part of Patna besides the Patna High Court. The sprawling building covers a huge area and houses almost all the important offices and departments of the state Government.
The building of the State Secretariat is one of the architectural marvels of the ancient city of Patna. The architecture of the lavish building of the State Secretariat is modeled on the lines of the Indo-Sarcenic architectural style. Some parts of the building of the State Secretariat have effects of the architectural designs of the Renaissance period. The most impressive structure within the premises of the State Secretariat is the huge “Clock Tower” that stands tall amidst the beautiful and green lawns of the place. The “Clock Tower” is a magnificent architectural wonder of the British period that reflects the artistic skill of the British Rulers.
The State Secretariat building is one of the important political and administrative center of the state. It plays a vital role in deciding the fate of the state of Bihar. The building is also important from the strategic point of view. In a recently concluded meeting of the State Government, it was decided to enhance the security of the State Secretariat building to protect it from any kind of terrorist and Maoist attack.
The State Secretariat Building gives a royal look to the city of Patna and speaks volumes of the rich architectural past of our country.
