Role of Central Agency / Society Extract from the Cabinet Note 3.6. Role of central agency/society. There would be a significant role to be played by a central agency/society as per the reasons indicated in para3.4above. In order to support the infusion & retention of significant number (Appendix- X pg. 63) of professionals in SeMTs across nation, there is an immense need for providing a suitable organizational setup and HR(Human Resource) policies. Such a structure would also help ensure uniformity in the quality of personnel hired, pay structure, as well as their management through design and adoption of appropriate HR policies for such personnel. This role can be suitably played by a central agency/society to be designated by the Empowered Committee for appointing the SeMT personnel on contract, management of Human Resources etc. Slide 33 Back
Role of States/UTs Para 3.4 of the Approved Cabinet Note for the CB Scheme 3.4. Role of States/UTs: The CB scheme will be implemented with active participation from the States. The States have the freedom to select personnel for SeMTs in accordance with the scheme directly if they so desire. However, the consultation with States as well as market conditions prevailing for such personnel have indicated a strong likelihood that most of the States would require a centrally coordinated selection & retention mechanism. Most of the States also felt that it is necessary to avoid a situation where all the States are pursuing the same set of candidates independently in an uncoordinated manner for inducting a very small number of personnel by each of them. SeMTs shall be under the administrative control of State governmentsfor its regular functions including outsourcing, IT infrastructure, office maintenance etc. The States will also be suitably involved at various stages of implementation and will strengthen State training institutions for providing general trainings to State officials. States will also keep close interaction with the CB management unit at DIT for greater synergy in implementation. Slide 34 Back
