(ii) to constitute expert committees comprising in –house officers to study the root cause of the problem and to initiate measures to remove such factors;

(iii) to improve pre-employment training or on-the-job preparatory training; and

(iv) schemes for educational empowerment, up-gradation of skills, vocational training etc.

Subsequent to the receipt of the recommendations of the Committee, the matter was examined by this Department and time bound action plan has been finalized and intimated to all concerned Ministries/ Departments on 20/11/2014 for implementation.
