Guwahati: Assam government today signed service agreements with four Institutional Service Providers (ISP) and MoUs with State Level Public Sector Enterprises (SLPEs) in a bid to revamp these enterprises.
Minister for Industry, Public Enterprises and Power Pradyut Bordoloi said there were 48 SLPEs in Assam but some of these were perennially loss-making enterprises and had to be closed down. “Most of these enterprises lacked a structured, professional management framework. It was then that we decided to structurally revamp these enterprises and turn them around into commercially viable ventures,” Bordoloi said. For this purpose four Institutional Consultants – Institute of Public Enterprise (IPE), Hyderabad; Centre for Organisation Development (COD), Hyderabad; Department of Business Administration, Gauhati University and School of Management Sciences, Tezpur University – have been selected for the two projects, he added.
The Public Enterprises department had during 2010-11 initiated steps for re-introduction of MoU system between Assam’s SLPEs and the administrative departments of the Government for performance rating and to study the Training Need Analysis (TNA) of the SLPEs through institutional consultancy services. Four Institutional Consultants–Institute of Public Enterprise (IPE), Hyderabad; Centre for Organisation Development (COD), Hyderabad; Department of Business Administration, Gauhati University and School of Management Sciences, Tezpur University have been selected for the projects.
