Item No. 4: Procedure for Publication Work. The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and publish them as well as proceedings of seminars, workshops etc. The Ayog also brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi, besides other useful publications for specific benefit to farmers. This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling quotations, when the office was at Hisar. At Panchkula, it was learnt that a Samvad society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of different departments. The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got printed through Samvad. The Samvad society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work, as the number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand, whereas they are printing copies in lakhs. Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than a month, therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28 May, 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the printers empanelled by Samvad for getting our job done on priority and without delay. This experience has also not been very good. Firstly, the empanelled printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small. We had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion. Being big printing houses, our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality. It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give work order for printing through open competition. This will save time and bring about efficiency in our publication work, simultaneously ensuring good quality. approval. The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and 5
