The Government is mulling towards moving out its offices from private buildings onto State-owned buildings.  

 This decision had been taken with the view of minimizing the additional cost incurred to the government for  locating its offices in privately-owned buildings.   

Presently, several Ministries, line management offices and several state institutions are housed in privately-owned buildings. Steps have already been taken to obtain information with regard to these institutions.
