Engineering Management Reform Committee(October 2011)
Contrary to the atmosphere of distrust against the Government working, a very constructive initiative on Cost Reduction of
Expenditure in Engineering Departments / Wings of Punjab Government/ Boards / Corporations has been taken by the
Centre for Management of Engineering Works at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration Punjab.
On the call given by Smt. Upinderjit Kaur, Hon'ble Finance Minister, Punjab during her visit to the Institute in December, 2010, the Centre for Management of Engineering Works formulated a working paper. The working paper contained 12 proposals which aimed at reducing leakages/ malpractices, ensuring transparency and probity, bringing better efficiency and promoting cost effectiveness. Thereafter a workshop was organized at the Institute in May, 2011 which was presided over by Lt. Gen. (Retd.) B.S Dhaliwal, Advisor (Technical) to the Hon'ble Chief Minister Punjab and attended by Secretary, Public Works (B&R) and eminent engineers of the rank of Chief Engineers / Superintending Engineers (retirees as well as in service). The proposals were deliberated upon thoroughly in the workshop and it was decided to recommend adoption of four proposals immediately in the best interest of the State. The Chief Secretary, Shri S.C. Agrawal recognized the usefulness and importance of this initiative and recommended to the Chief Minister Punjab that a State Engineering Management Reforms Committee may be constituted.
The Hon'ble CM Punjab was pleased to accord sanction to the constitution of State Engineering Manag eme n t Commi t t e e ( EMRC) and accordingly a seven member committed was constituted by the Punjab Government vide notification No. 12/61/2011-GC(5)/11516, dated 29th August, 2011. The first meeting of this committee is going to be held at Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration Punjab on November 14, 2011 as the mandate to provide secretarial & technical consultancy has been entrusted to it.
The Centre has recently approached more than 25 Engineers as Resource Persons for giving impetus to the initiative on cost reduction and has decided to hold 2nd Workshop on 24th November, 2011 for which suggestions have been called for incorporating in the working paper. The faculty is also undertaking similar exercise at its level. Towards this end the faculty has proposed three more measures. Thus the Centre for Management of Engineering Works aims to play a vital role in the affairs of the State by introducing cost reduction delivery mechanisms.
