Start of Government Week in Iran, Shahrivar 2, marks the official beginning of Government Week in Iran's calendar and is observed annually with various programs and ceremonies nationwide. Government Week provides an opportunity for executive bodies and government institutions to present their annual reports, inaugurate new projects, and offer public services. The week is intended to highlight the government's role in managing the country and serving the public, with officials often meeting citizens and addressing current issues. During Government Week, the achievements and challenges of the administration across economic, social, and cultural sectors are reviewed, and media outlets cover news and reports related to governmental activities. The observance is seen as a chance to enhance communication between the government and the public, as well as to promote transparency in the performance of executive agencies. In 1981, following significant political events and the assassination of several members of the then-government, authorities of the Islamic Republic officially designated Government Week in the Jalali calendar to commemorate the memory of government members and emphasize the importance of maintaining governmental services during critical times. According to Islamic Republic sources, this observance is registered and presented in the official calendar in this form and with these descriptions.
