Augmentation of Infrastructure in CBEC
DIRECTORATE General of Human Resource Development (Infrastructure & Welfare Wing) Central Excise & Customs has communicated to all the Chief Commissioners the concern of the Member (A) on infrastructure.
1. Member (Admn) has emphasized to assess the updated infrastructure requirements as there is acute shortage of office space as well as residential units consequent to Cadre Restructuring in 2014. In fact, at present almost 30% offices are still operating from hired spaces. This position needs to be corrected on priority.
2. Member (Admn) has also desired that before the forthcoming CCs/DGs Conference on 16-18th June 2016, a dedicated "Infrastructure Cell" be constituted in each Zone, if not done already, headed by a DC/AC with an adequate supplement of Supdt./ Inspectors, who may be assigned tasks related to processing of infrastructure proposals to effective coordinate between the Commissionerate/ Zone/ DGHRD and the Ministry.
3. Further, the CCs may also explore the options available in their zone/city to address the requirement of residential accommodation. The Chief Commissioners should meet the senior officers of the local CPWD/ Dte.of Estate/ Local Housing Boards/ or reputed private builders to acquire the available residential units for meeting the requirement.
4. It is reiterated that all Infrastructure related proposals are to be drafted in accordance with the Guidelines prescribed in the "Manual of Infrastructure" issued by DGHRD and inline with the prescribed norms of CPWD & GFRs and the existing CVC guidelines, while inviting bids/ tenders through Expression of Interest for acquiring residential units or for hiring office accommodation.
