Why it matters
Effective governance of public institutions is critical for the preservation and development of regional ecological and educational assets.
The Chairman of the Karnataka Legislature Committee on Subordinate Legislation and MLA, S.R. Srinivas, said here on Friday that lawmakers had noticed drawbacks which appeared “not rectifiable at the official level” in the management of the Pilikula Development Authority (PDA).
Speaking to presspersons after a meeting on the development of Pilikula Nisargadhama, Mr. Srinivas said the committee had noticed several drawbacks in the administration. Though 120 staff members are required, many have been hired on an outsourcing and deputation basis. The authority has no permanent government employees.
Mr. Srinivas said the committee had asked Deputy Commissioner H. V. Darshan, who is also the chairman of the authority, to submit a report on how to rectify the management. He has also been asked to submit a draft master plan for the development of Pilikula.
