Janata Bhawan is the secretariat complex of the Government of Assam, located in Dispur, the capital of the Indian state of Assam. The complex houses the administrative offices of the state government and serves as the principal seat of executive governance in Assam.
The multi-storey complex was inaugurated on 22 November 2004 by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. It replaced the earlier secretariat facilities that operated from temporary buildings after the capital of Assam shifted from Shillong to Dispur in 1973 following the creation of the state of Meghalaya.
Janata Bhawan functions as the central administrative hub of the state government, housing offices of the Chief Minister of Assam, the Council of Ministers, and various government departments.
