SCHEME FOR COUNSELLING, RETRAINING AND

REDEPLOYMENT OF RATIONALISED EMPLOYEES OF CENTRAL PUBLIC SECTOR ENTERPRIS

1. OBJECTIVE :

The objective and scope of the scheme is to provide opportunities of counselling, retraining and redeployment to the rationalized employees of Central Public Sector Enterprises rendered redundant as a result of modernization, technology upgradation and manpower restructuring in the Central PSEs. The aim of retraining of the employees is to reorient them through short duration training programmes to enable them to adjust to the new environment and adopt new avocations after their separation from the PSEs due to VRS/VSS or retrenchment due to closure of the enterprise. While it will not be possible to commit that the employees so restructured or retrenched would be provided with alternative employment, yet it should be desirable to reorient such employees so that they may engage themselves in income generating activities and take advantage of available opportunities of self-employment. The counselling and training programmes will accordingly be planned in order to equip them with skills and orientation to engage themselves in self-employment activities and rejoin the productive process even after their separation from the CPSUs.
