through outsourcing agencies in various departments and institutions of the

state for a long time. In this regard, complaints were constantly coming that

they were not getting the full payment of honorarium approved by the

government. Also, many times the agencies do not make regular contribution for

mandatory facilities like EPF, ESI. To end these irregularities and protect the

interests of the employees, it has been decided to form this corporation.

new system will be like this: - Now the departments will not directly select the

outsourcing agencies, rather the corporation will decide the agency through a

fair and transparent process through the GEM portal. The honorarium of the

employees has been fixed at Rs 16 to 20 thousand per month. Services of

outsourced employees can be taken for 26 days in a month. Employees will be

able to serve for three years. Employees' salary will be credited directly to

their accounts between 1st to 5th. EPF and ESI contribution will now go

directly into the employees' account, earlier this amount used to go to the

service provider.

for outsourcing. This will ensure the appointment of better quality and

qualified personnel.

buses are being operated in 15 municipal corporations of the state, out of

which 700 buses are on Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model. Under this scheme, 9

city and nearby towns. At least 10 buses will be mandatory on each route. The

estimated that about Rs 10.30 crore will be spent on each route, out of which

Rs 9.50 crore will be spent on the purchase of buses and Rs 0.80 crore on

charging equipment and other necessary means.

operators will be responsible for the design, financing, procurement,

manufacturing, supply and maintenance of buses. They will have to provide

prototype e-buses within 90 days and start bus operations within a year. All

fare and non-fare revenue will be collected by the private operators. The

tariff will be determined by the government, which can be revised from time to

time. Also, the government will issue the necessary licenses and permits from
