- Defence Minister has approved proposal of Engineer-in-Chief of Military Engineering Services for optimisation of more than 9,300 posts in basic and industrial workforce.
- It is in line with the recommendations of the Committee of Experts, headed by Lt General (Retd) DB Shekatkar.
- The Committee had recommended measures to enhance combat capability and rebalance defence expenditure of the Armed Forces.
- One of the recommendations made by the Committee was to restructure the civilian workforce in a manner that the work of MES could be partly done by departmentally employed staff and other works could be outsourced.
- The recommendation was aimed at making MES an effective organisation with a leaner workforce, well equipped to handle complex issues in the emerging scenario in an efficient and cost effective manner.
