The formation of a dedicated corporation for managing outsourced workers in various state departments is nearing completion, with official approval expected from the state cabinet shortly. Once established, this body will oversee operations for outsourced personnel, including disbursing a proposed minimum monthly honorarium of `18,000.

Currently, the honorarium is set to be paid through private service provider agencies. However, representatives from the State Employees’ Joint Council met with the Chief Minister’s principal secretary on May 22 to advocate for an alternative arrangement. The council has demanded that payments be routed through the proposed corporation rather than external agencies.

According to council president J.N. Tiwari, the recommendation follows consultation with key advisory bodies in governance, finance, personnel, and law departments. These departments have also reportedly suggested maintaining the existing payment mechanism for now. Council general secretary Aruna Shukla stated that the principal secretary assured the delegation that their concerns would be reviewed. The council emphasized that the corporation is being created to eliminate exploitation by service provider agencies, making direct disbursal a necessary step.

The proposed shift is being seen as a measure to streamline honorarium payments and ensure greater accountability in handling outsourced worker affairs across departments.
