As it is set to become mandatory for central public sector undertakings (CPSUs) to source 4 per cent of goods and services from dalit-owned enterprises from 2015 onwards, the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI), is gearing up to lobby hard for proper compliance of the rule.
As it is set to become mandatory for central public sector undertakings (CPSUs) to source 4 per cent of goods and services from dalit-owned enterprises from 2015 onwards, the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI), is gearing up to lobby hard for proper compliance of the rule.
DICCI seeks Rs 8,000 crore business opportunity through the quota system. During a seminar organised by DICCI, it was stressed to create awareness about the recent government order over the procurement quota.
The entrepreneurs present in the meeting were asked to distribute copies of the gazette notification to as many as they could. As it is mandatory for CPSUs to procure 20 per cent of goods and services required for operations from MSMES, 4 per cent has to be from such units owned by dalit entrepreneurs.
Arun Khobragade, Mentor, DICCI Nagpur said that there are plans to urge the government committees for SC/ST to ensure proper compliance of the rule. The SC/ST employees associations in the PSUS will also be urged to keep a tab on the affair so that the policy is not misused either.
