| Now canteen system for paramilitary forces too | | |
New Delhi, Sept 23: A Central Police Forces Canteen System is being established to benefit over seven lakh paramilitary forces personnel across the country.
The canteens will provide a wide range of goods to serving as well as retired personnel and their families, the Union Home Ministry said today.
The decision to establish a common canteen system follows a direction from Home Minister Shivraj Patil, who has been keen on providing better working conditions to all paramilitary personnel.
The CMPF battalions would take their supplies directly from authorised dealers and stockists of the manufacturers, thereby saving on the profits of intermediaries, an official release said.
The system, which will become functional within a few weeks, is designed to take advantage of the competition in the market. It is also structured to have a low operational cost and to eliminate generation of dead stocks.
The canteens would be administered by a common Central Administraive Committee and Central Purchase Committee manned by CMPF officers.
Regional depots will also be made functional in remote areas in due course where possibilities of distributors did not exist.
The initial working capital will be provided from a welfare fund.
