Overall Management of GSI

GSI needs strong and effective management

structures. While the larger policy and programmatic

directions from the Government would be laid down

mainly through the instrumentality of the Central

Geological Programming Board (CGPB) chaired by the

122

ANNEXURES

Secretary of the administrative Ministry, robust in-

house management systems are crucial for policy &

planning and for internal administration. The

Committee accordingly recommends a Collegium-like

system, consisting of the Additional Director Generals

(ADG) and Deputy Director Generals (DDG) with

appropriate specialization and expertise. The collegium

will be constituted suited to needs of the situation in

each case and depending on the nature of the case

may either be chaired by the Director General (DG)

himself or by the senior-most Addl. D.G. The type of

situation where the Addl. D.G. rather than the D.G.

would chair the collegium are those involving statutory

or rule related functions or administrative matters

where a management rather than scientific or technical

decision is required and the Collegium’s

recommendation would be in the nature of non-

binding considered advice giving the D.G adequate

flexibility and authority in taking the final decision. The

Committee feels that the collegium system, by

introducing participatory decision-making, will address

some of the concern and issues of GSI out lined in

Chapter V, of the Report particularly those relating to

transparency, communication within the organization

and empowerment and delegation.

Organizational Status

The Committee recommends the according of statutory

status to GSI, which would on the one hand give it the

requisite autonomy and status and allow it to function

commercially where required and on the other hand,

give it statutory authority with regard to survey,

exploration, data acquisition and management. The

Committee after careful consideration felt that for the

long-term this was the best solution. Pending this the

GSI may be accorded status of Attached Office.

Career Progression

The Committee recommends:

• Reaffirmation of Geology stream as an Organised

Service

• Cadre review based on recommendation of this

Committee and improvement of pyramid in all

S&T streams to conform as far as possible to the

ideal pyramid proposed by DOPT.

• Creation of Geophysics, Engineering and

Chemistry as organised services, after

appropriate improvements in the structure.

• That FCS in the GSI be given a fresh consideration

after issue of the new Guidelines by the

Government.

Finance

The Committee has carefully considered all aspects of

the Financial system in GSI and noted a number of

constraints in effective performance and is of the view

that even with the limited human resources available,

GSIs performance can be significantly improved with

better financial management; and to this end it

recommends:

• The post of Financial Advisor to the GSI should

continue to be an ex-cadre post, to be filled on

deputation from Central/State Government

organization by persons with at least 10 years

experience in Planning, Budgeting and

Expenditure Management. The post may be kept

at the level of Additional Director General and to

attract suitable persons, in addition to officers in

HAG, officers in SAG level for at least 5 years

may be made eligible, in case no person in HAG

grade is available for deputation.

• Immediate decentralization of financial (and

administrative) powers to the GSI commensurate

with its status as an Attached Office, till such time

as statutory status is conferred. Extensive

delegation has recently been approved by the

Ministry. However, there are a few items where

given the nature of work of GSI, special

delegations have to be made in consultation with

Ministry of Finance, and the Committee

recommends that this be done as quickly as

possible.

ANNEXURES

123

• Immediate delegation of adequate financial (and

administrative) powers by the DG, GSI to the

HODs in-charge of Missions and Regions.

• Implementation of ‘e-lekha’ accounting software

module developed by NIC along with sanction-

capture interface module in order to seamlessly

manage the sanction-expenditure-reconciliation

allotment process. This would imply inclusion of

the PAO and Controller of Accounts at Mission/

Region/State levels in the WAN of GSI.

• Review of the system of allocating budgets to

the Mission/Regions/State levels. A Committee

consisting of GSI financial officers and Internal

Finance Division of the Ministry may study the

existing procedure, and work out a system of

quarterly allocation based on Finance Ministry

expenditure norms in order to better regulate the

pace of expenditure. This should replace the

existing system of allocating 80% of the B.E. at

one go but not monitoring the expenditure till

R.E. stage. In particular the system should ensure

that funds obtained through Vote-on-account at

the beginning of the Financial Year are expended

effectively so that time is not lost till the passing

of the Demand for Grants.

• Creation of a professional Finance & Accounts

Division at Regional Level to help in proper

budgeting, managing allocations, monitoring

expenditure and facilitating audit. The Division

should be headed by a Director (Finance) who

should be well versed in these matters, and may

be taken either on deputation from State/Central

Organizations or from within GSI.

• Reworking of Budget heads around the new

Missions and ‘Support System’ activities being

proposed by the Committee. The allocation to

the regions would be made by the Addl. D.G in-

charge of the Mission in consultation with DDG

(P.M) /Addl. DG/DDG (Finance). The same

principle would apply in respect of support

activities. This would ensure accountability of the

head of the Mission at the Central level. It would

also make for smoother operation since

communication channels for such purposes would

be between the Regional head and the head of

the Mission.

Information & Publication

The Committee is of the view that the GSI has a non-

transparent work culture, which prevents flow of

information into the public domain, whether for

policymaking, analysis, social or economic, use or only

for general information. As a result, public policies

relating to geoscience in general and mineral

exploration in particular have been adversely affected.

Worse, geoscience is not perceived as being the

absorbing and exciting subject it actually is. The

Committee therefore recommends that GSI recognize

that there is a larger audience and endeavours, in

collaboration with the administrative Ministry, CGPB

constituents and other stake holders:

• Dissemination of reports and maps, and technical

periodicals and all priced publications as per

perceived need.

• Development and dissemination of other printed

matter of a technical or semi-technical nature,

both as a regular periodical and as an occasional

publication as per perceived need

• Commissioning of audio-visual material on various

geoscientific subjects including documentaries

for broadcast, web-cast etc., and for distribution

on CDs/DVDs etc.

• Preparation on an ongoing basis, of audio-visual

material for exhibitions at Central, Regional and

operational level so as to present geoscience in

general and GSI’s work in particular at State level

exhibitions and other fora.

• Organization, through the operational units, of

publicity campaigns on various geoscientific issues

of public importance including Natural hazards.

124

ANNEXURES

Geoscience Partnerships

The Committee recognizes the importance of forging

partnerships with Central Institutions and State

Governments for various programmes in geosciences;

with Universities and Academic institutions for R & D,

and with Geological Surveys of the nations for

knowledge sharing. GSI needs to adopt a proactive

role in forgoing such partnerships.

Geoinformatics

The Committee recommends that in view of new

hybrid matrix type of Organizational structure proposed

for GSI, the IT development in GSI should reorient itself

to the proposed organizational structure. Accordingly

the Committee is of the view that the connectivity

and hardware matters which are ‘non-content’, and

which require engineering expertise must be separated

out for management, budgeting and monitoring. The

Committee recommends that the “IT Infrastructure’

should be a support system component, managed

through outsourcing.

The Committee is fully cognizant of the importance of

the Portal Project in making GSI a world-class

geoscientific institution. The Committee is of the view

that the portal will be at the core of the Geoinformatics

Mission. Fully appreciating the critical nature of this

activity, and the fact that it is essentially a unique

combination of Geoscience and Informatics, the

Committee recommends that GSI develop a special

group of Geoinformatic personnel drawn from all the

major streams i.e. Geology, Geophysics, and Chemistry

so that over time GSI has a unique national human

resource.

The Committee feels that GSI will need to:

• Invest in cyberinfrastructure on a continuing basis

so as to attain world class geoinformatic capability

for using geospatial data

• Develop geoscientific data standards and

management policies enabling the data

generated or accessed to be integrated with

existing databases and allowing access of

stakeholders to GSI databases.

• Ensure statutory data filing of geological data

including its evaluation authentication and

integration with its own data.

• Help create a sustainable data-host to support

retention, archiving and dissemination of data sets

and development of tools and methods for

capture of metadata, establish protocols for

functioning as a ‘repository’, ‘clearing house’ or

‘client’, for various types of geoscientific data.

• Use and enable the integration of data from a

wide array emerging technologies encompassing

gravity, magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic,

gamma ray, magnetotelluric sensing including

tomography, resistivity profiling and ground

penetrating radar etc.

• Develop as part of the NNRMS/NSDI process,

capability of managing geospatial data, to produce

state of-the-art outputs of earth images and

subsurface images including 3-D visualization and

modeling capability and develop policies allowing

users easy access.

To be able to mesh with NNRMS, GSI will need to

upgrade its State level operational headquarters so has

to have full-fledged Geoinformatics capability, and

effectively interface with State Remote Sensing

Centres and State Geomatics Centres. As important

as the acquisition and management of data in the issue

of information delivery, which comprises systems

development and information products. A strong IT

resource base, capable of developing applications in

the geoscientific domain is crucial to the process. Side

by side, in order to reach the wider public a

communication & publications unit must be able to

produce literature and audio-visual materials of high

quality on a sustained basis.

Partnerships in Geoinformatics

GSI needs to ensure an institutionalized overarching

ANNEXURES

125

mechanism, comprising the NSDI, NNRMS, NIC, NICSI

and NRDMS etc. in order to:

• Develop and operationalise synergetic application

• Develop and use common standards and

protocols

• Help create sectoral strength within the

organization and in the private sector, and

facilitate development of downstream

applications

• Develop capacity in academic and R&D

institutions so as to create long term geoinformatic

strength

• Enter into joint collaborative projects with foreign

geological surveys such as BGS, GSC, USGS,

BRGM etc. for knowledge sharing and

development of geoinformatics applications as

international level.

The Committee hopes that the Geoinformatics

Committee of the CGPB will be able to effectively

discharge this function.

Training

The Committee is of the view that the present structure

of the Training Institute, while coping with the main

task of providing high quality induction training to a

limited number (about 50 in a year) of newly recruited

Geoscientists and specialized training in a few

disciplines for about 20-30 in house trainees at a time

is clearly inadequate in view of the low capacity

availability/utilized. The training infrastructure needs

a radical overhaul to meet the requirements arising out

of the programmatic recommendations of this

Committee and accordingly it recommended that:-

• The GSITI at Hyderabad be developed into a

Centre of Excellence for providing high quality

cutting-edge training/knowledge delivery, with

state-of-the-art facilities.

• Regional Institutes be created in each Region for

induction and in-service training of GSI and State

DGMs. The Director (Training) located in the

Regions but reporting to GSI TI be declared head

of the Regional Institute and conferred

appropriate administrative and financial powers.

• The Regional Institutes would be part of the

Regional Office premises and would function

under the day-to-day control of the Regional

Addl. D.G. The Director (Training) would be part

of the Regional Office, and would liaise with GSI

TI for operationalising GSI TI programmes in the

Regional Institute.

• The Field Training Centres would function under

the Regional Institute rather than GSITI in order

to have better management control. Just as each

FTC has a specialized function (dependent on the

Regional geology) each Regional Training Institute

must develop a range of specializations, based

on its regional presence, and backed by well-

equipped laboratories and specialised

Geoscientists of the Region. The Training Advisory

Committee headed by the Director General, GSI

may from time to time recommend creation of

additional Field Training Centres for specific

subjects.

• In keeping with the hybrid matrix principle, the

GSITI would house the Training Mission, and

would be responsible for overall Training policy

and coordination and programme goals. The GSITI

would conduct the Induction Course for GSI

Geoscientists, International Courses, and Training

of Trainers Courses for Regional Institutes and

State Training Institutions and specialized courses,

drawing on Regional Institute resources to the

extent of the Regional specialization mentioned

above.

• The Regional Institutes would conduct short-term

courses (generally one week or less) for Regional

GSI geoscientists, State Government geoscientists

and courses on the regional specialization. The

Annual Training Calendar for the Training Mission

126

ANNEXURES

would be finalized by GSITI in its Training Advisory

Committee for both its own programmes and

Regional programmes factoring in State DGM

requirements also, and placed in the CGPB for

final approval.

• The Regional Institute Calendar will be prepared

on the basis of SGPB inputs, regarding having

needs of State geoscientists, Regional training

needs assessments and GSITI general directions.

Each Regional Institute should run at least one

course a year specially catering to State

Government geoscientists of the Region, and

courses on its regional specialization should be

open to State Geoscientists so that they too can

develop parallel capabilities to some extent,

particularly on region specific issues.

• Each Regional Institute needs to develop linkages

with Central and State Geoscientific Institutions

and Universities located within the Region or

having specialization related to the Region and

offer training services tailored to their

requirements. Similarly, the Regional Institute

should endeavour to develop resource persons

in such institutions to help run its training

programmes. The Institutions who are part of

CGPB and its Committees are the obvious first

candidates in this respect.

• GSITI needs to develop a policy, and the Regional

Institutes needs to develop the corresponding

capability, of providing suitable training

programmes on specific issues for M. Sc. and Ph.

D. students. These would be supplemented by

training programmes for specific field activities

such as sample collection and ground-truthing

and students opting for such training could then

be deployed in groundwork for NGCM or GMM

or HSM fieldwork along with a Geologist.

• Regional Institutes may also provide training to

technicians and geoscientists handling or utilizing

technical and laboratory equipment, particularly

newly acquired sophisticated equipment.

Indian Geoscience Congress

For effective interaction amongst Geoscientist

community the Committee recommends that the

Ministry of Mines takes the lead to establish an Indian

Geoscientists Congress as a registered body of

professionals and:-

• The Ministry should provide initial and partial

recurring funds.

• The Congress should open its membership to

professionals, industry associations and mining

and geoscience sector related institution including

academic institutions.

• The Congress should be a non-profit body

devoted to the cause of geoscience and should

provide a platform for interchange of

geoscientific knowledge outside the

Government.

The Congress should hold an annual session, where

Technical subjects can be discussed, papers read and

workshops and exhibitions held. State and Central

Government should facilitate the holding of these

annual seminars (which can be over a weekend) by

allowing desirous geoscientists to attend (subject of

course to exigencies of work) and · bearing travel

and accommodation expenses of Government

geoscientists since it helps professional development.

Dissemination of Geoscientific Information

• The Committee recognizes the need for wide

dissemination of geoscientific information, so that

planning and management decision are fully

informed by geoscientific data. The Committee

can also not be oblivious of the fact in that Section

4 of the Right to Information Act (RTI) 2005 casts

a duty on all public authorities to put out

proactively as much information as possible in the

public domain using Internet and other means,

and that not only in the interest of Geoscience

but also to comply with the legislative

requirement, GSI needs to put its information out

ANNEXURES

127

through internet and other public information

dissemination devices. While doing so, GSI may

keep back information, which is:

• Sponsored, or otherwise covered by fiduciary

relationships

• Secret, because of Ministry of Defence

guidelines.

• Restricted, because of Survey of India or Ministry

of Defence restriction Section 8 of the RTI Act,

2005 provides for exemption from disclosure in

exactly such type of cases.

The Committees recommendation regarding

dissemination of information gathered by GSI for various

geoscientific uses accordingly is that:

• Geological and Mineral maps as and when

published should be available as raster images on

the portal in the public domain

• The 1:2 m Geological map of India available on

the Portal should be upgraded and all maps on

1:1 m and small should be uploaded as vector

images on the probable domain

• GSI, priced publication should also be available

free of cost on the Portal and out of print

publication, particularly economic geology series

Bulletin, mineral wise Detailed Information

Dossiers and Final Reports on Mineral Exploration

should be available in the Portal free of cost, in

the public domain.

• Unpublished 1:50K geological maps may be

uploaded to the Portal after conversion to WGS84

datum and edge mapping, so as to be available in

the public domain

• GSI’s Unpublished Reports classified as ‘limited

circulation reports’ and ‘open file Reports’ should

be uploaded to the Portal so as to be available in

the public domain.

• Restricted Circulation, Secret and Sponsored

project Reports will be subject to appropriate

restrictions.

• Statutory digital exploration data filed by RP/PL

holders will be evaluated and authenticated and

integrated with GSI public databases after locking

period is over.

The Administrative Ministry and GSI may periodically

review the content available in the public domain, and

endeavour to keep up with current best international

practices in this regard.

Statement showing cases of C&AG Para pending in the Ministry

CA 11 of2008

12.1.1 Avoidable payment ofInterest of Rs. 2.76 crores dueto short payment of advanceIncome Tax by NALCO during2003-04 and 2004-05.

(i) The rising trend in rates ofthe metal as reflected in theLondon Metal Exchange(LME) rates was not fullyconsidered while estimatingtaxable income.

(i) Variation between minimum and maximum rangeof LME rate was 26.78% in 2003-04 & 22.04% in2004-05, the variation between the estimated LMErate considered for the purpose of calculation of profitwas in the range of 10.74% and 5.65% for 1st and2nd quarter of 2003-04, 11.19% and 4.65% for 1stand 2nd quarter of 2004-05 only. The variation inestimated LME price vis-a-vis than the actual price cannot be ruled out, specifically in case of 1st and 2ndquarter estimates due to longer estimation period andunpredictable behaviour of LME price movement. Therewas no shortfall in payment of total advance taxpayable as the estimation in 3rd and 4th quarter waspossible to make more correctly and make the shortpayment in earlier quarters good.

(ii) The capitalization was reviewed by NALCO fromquarter to quarter based on targeted completionschedules duly adjusted by trend of actual progress.The only deviation occurred because of the assumptionof capitalization of 8th unit of CPP and 120 pots ofsmelter plant in the 2nd half of 2003-04, leavingimpact on short payment of advance tax in 1st and2nd quarter. The projection was made based on thescheduled commissioning date of 8th unit of CPP i.e.15.02.2003, but because of last moment failure ofsome of the contractors, teething work forcommissioning could not be completed, and hence,the capitalization of 8th unit of CPP and 120 pots ofsmelter was shifted from 2003-04 to 2004-05. Theexpected capitalization considered for 2004-05 wasRs.666.68 crore and the actual ended at Rs.698.85crore i.e. 95.40%.

For reasons beyond control of the Company, asenumerated above, variations are bound to happen.However, precautions are being taken by the Companyto bring it to minimal, based on experience.

ATN has been sentto the Office of theC&AG for vettingremarks on11.9.2008. Thesame has beenreceived on 6.1.09.C&AG has observedthat Company hasnot paid any interesttowards wrongassessment ofincome tax duringassessment year2008-09. Hence nocomment.

(ii) Deductions fordepreciation allowance wereincluded in the calculationsfor advance tax withouttaking into consideration theprogress in implementing theassets and the probabledeferment in the date of theircapitalization. The Companyavailed depreciation benefitsin the first and secondquarters of 2003-04 inrespect of assets projected tobe commissioned in secondhalf of the financial year. Thiswas not realistic as actualcompletion andcommissioning of certainproject/unit took longer timethan scheduled.
