The Rationalisation Commission in its report on Tuesday recommended to Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini restructuring of 88 municipal corporations, councils and committees and 179 government colleges.
It proposed the creation of an independent department for drainage and groundwater recharging for flood control by dividing the existing Irrigation Department into two entities.
Additionally, the report suggested the establishment of new institutions and the closure of redundant ones in several departments.
Except for two or three departments, the number of posts is expected to increase significantly in almost all other departments.
According to data available on the Human Resource Management System (HRMS), the commission has recommended creating 105,832 posts against the existing 104,980 posts in 21 departments.
The Rationalisation Commission recommended restructuring of government departments, boards and corporations to make these entities more efficient, transparent, and responsive to public needs.
