Evaluation of Plan Schemes of the Department of Official Language

expenditures of vehicles, photocopiers etc.). The award schemes are
desirable and create a positive atmosphere. The larger number of awards,
including individual awards, is a source of encouragement as original effort
is recognized. Similarly, larger number of workshops etc. should be aimed
at and the practice of combining workshops etc. should be avoided. The
working of TOLICs can be useful not only for monitoring (a task of the
Implementation Wing) but also for propagation. The work of publicity should
not only continue but also expand. In this connection, the DOL may
consider partnering with training institutions of the government (ISTM,
LBSNAA, NIFM etc.), of banks (RBI, SBI, staff colleges etc.) and of public
enterprises (ONGC Academy, PMI of NTPC and so on) to showcase their
activities.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The existing schemes are useful and should continue. The merging
of a number of small schemes should be explored. The tendency to
combine workshops should be avoided. The DOL may partner with
other training institutions to make publicity more effective.
