  The present work employs the Linder parametrization of a constant growth
index \cite{linder/index} to investigate the evolution of growth rate of
clustering and the dissipation of configurational entropy in some of the most
widely studied Chaplygin gas models, such as the generalized Chaplygin gas and
the modified Chaplygin gas. The model parameters of the Chaplygin gas models
are found to play a vital role in the evolution of growth rate, dark energy
density parameter, EoS parameter, and configurational entropy. Furthermore, the
work communicates the rate of change of configurational entropy to attain a
minimum which depend solely on the choice of model parameters and that there
exist suitable parameter combinations giving rise to a viable dissipation of
configurational entropy, and therefore certifying its time derivative to hit a
minimum at a scale factor which complies with the current observational
constraints on the redshift of transition from a dust to an accelerated
Universe and thereby making Chaplygin gas models a viable candidate for dark
energy.
