Tata Motors and IIT BHU
sign MoU for innovative education and research
The partnership will help create
industry-ready resources.
The 7th Pay Commission has no doubt led
to increase in the salary of government employees, but it has also increased
the burden on the Government. To meet the increased salary burden, the
Government is considering different financing methods and also optimum
utilisation of resources.
Burdened with the increased salary bill,
the Maharashtra government is considering cutting its total workforce by 30 per
cent, so that it can pay the remaining employees as per the 7th Pay Commission
recommendations.
The finance department has issued a
Government Resolution (GR), where it has asked all the departments to make a
new master plan for staffing needs and submit the total number of staff they
require. It said that the different departments must cut the demand for human
resources by 30 per cent by adopting new information technology and bringing
efficiency.
