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.
