Shimla: The country's top auditor CAG on Tuesday said it plans to hire 2,000-3,000 semi-skilled people every
year to handle the increasing work-load.
"We are planning to take on board 2,000-3,000 people
every year. We may also take up more people going forward,"
Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai said here today.
"Our manpower sanction limit is 63,000, but currently we
have only on roll 47,000," he said on the sidelines of the
Diamond jubilee celebrations of the National Academy of Audit
and Accounts (NAAA), the training institute of CAG.
With audits being taken up in a host of areas including
private firms now, the process demands trained manpower.
"Apart from the NAAA, Shimla there are 15 other regional
training institutes," Rai said.
The NAAA, one of the premier training institutions in
the country, provides professional training to newly-inducted
Indian Audit & Accounts Service (IA&AS) officers. It also
conducts specialised training for in-service officers from
IA&AS, Indian Forest Service, Defence Services, Railways, and
PSUS.
