Piloting the Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2023, in the Lower House, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the government has no intention to take away the academic accountability from the institute but the Bill will only ensure its management accountability as the Centre has spent over Rs 6,000 crore in setting up the IIMs. Meanwhile, the Lok Sabha today passed a Bill seeking to entrust the management accountability of the IIMs with the President, who will be a Visitor and have powers to audit their functioning, remove directors and nominate a member in the selection committee. The Bill was later passed after a brief discussion. The officers serving in these organisations need to be reverted to their respective parent service units for exercising any disciplinary or administrative action which results in delays. Only officers of the respective services are empowered to exercise disciplinary powers over the service personnel under their respective Service Acts, the Minister noted. However, now there are numerous inter-services organisations where personnel of the armed forces and other forces serve together.Ĭurrently, the commander-in-chief or officer-in-command of the inter-services organisations is not empowered to exercise disciplinary or administrative powers over the personnel belonging to other services. In his brief remarks, Singh said that as of now, personnel of the Army, Navy and the Air Force are governed in accordance with the provisions contained in their specific service Acts - the Army Act, 1950, the Navy Act, 1957, and the Air Force Act, 1950.Īt the time of enactment of these respective Acts, most of the service organisations were largely comprised of personnel from a single service - either Army, Navy or Air Force. Moving the Bill for consideration and passage, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the Inter-Services Organisations (Command, Control and Discipline) Bill is part of a series of steps being taken by the Government to strengthen the armed forces.Īmid slogan shouting by opposition members who were also displaying placards, Singh took the permission of the Chair to speak from one of the seats in the back benches.Ī Parliamentary Panel had recently recommended that the Bill be passed without any amendments. The Lok Sabha today approved a Bill which seeks to empower the Commander-in-Chief and Officer-in-Command of Inter-Services Organisations with disciplinary and administrative powers over personnel from other forces serving in such establishments. *Prez gets powers of IIMS’ management accountability
