Alarm bells for babus after Govt moves to rope in consultants?

Published on: 

The Delhi Dialogue Commission (DDC) has started the process to rope in consultants to bring in more  professionalism in various faculties to speed up works  in the  national Capital.  The  move is being interpreted  in the  political circles as an attempt  to minimise the  role of  the bureaucrats  in policy and decision making. As the Government is at loggerheads with several bureaucrats on a host  of contentious issues,  a source said by roping in  professionals  from different fields will help it to  run the  administration smoothly.

The primary aim of the DDC is to come up with  new ideas, identify best practices and policies  from around the world  and translate them into concrete recommendations, projects  and documents  for the transformative change of the Delhi Government.

The  consultants would be hired for a period of  one year and paid up to Rs 1.55 lakh  every month. The DDC is looking for professionals in finance, law, social welfare, e governance, research and communication and other areas.

Among the professionals AAP Government is looking for is a senior consultant for law, whose primary job would be  to draft, formulate and vet legal  frameworks  and documents  relating to promotion of  private investment, drafting legislations  and other  research work. The consultant has to have a llB degree with five years professional experience  relevant to the job description.

The administration is also searching for a senior consultant  for e-governance.
