LOK SABHA

Government have formulated a Scheme for Counselling, Retraining and Redeployment (CRR) for the employees of Central PSEs, who have been rationalised under the Voluntary Retirement scheme or other mode of restructuring, including retrenchment. This scheme has been introduced from the year 2001-02. The salient features of the Scheme are:

  • Redeployment / self-employment of the rationalised employees through short duration training programmes, for which fund is provided by Government.
  • Sensitisation Camp prior to release of the VR optees in the premises of CPSUs / units.
  • Provision of opportunity to the employees to engage themselves in income generating activities on self-employment basis and rejoin the productive process.
