Erstwhile, Small Savings & State Lottery functioned as separate two Directorates under the administrative control of Finance Department. Since 10.01.2005 the previous two Directorates was amalgamated into one Department with the name of Directorate of Institutional Finance & State Lottery.
   The Lottery wing has close communications and interactions with other States in the affairs of the Lottery as well as with the Government servants and general public of the states in Small Savings matters.
   As the Department is established and instituted mainly to generate ‘Revenue” for the State Government and also to improve the “Additional Resources Mobilisation” of the State Government with less Administrative expenditures, it endeavours to strive for achieving such goal and target with untiring zeal.
