Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about
efficiency in our publication work simultaneously ensuring good quality
The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and
approval

Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about
efficiency in our publication work simultaneously ensuring good quality
The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and
approval

Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about
efficiency in our publication work simultaneously ensuring good quality
The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and
approval

Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about

Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about
efficiency in our publication work simultaneously ensuring good quality
The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and
approval

Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about
efficiency in our publication work simultaneously ensuring good quality
The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and
approval

Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about
efficiency in our publication work simultaneously ensuring good quality
The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and
approval

Item No 4 Procedure for Publication Work
The Haryana Kisan Ayog has a major task of bringing out Technical reports and
publish them as well as proceedings of seminars workshops etc The Ayog also
brings out its quarterly newsletter in English and Hindi besides other useful
publications for specific benefit to farmers
This job was carried out through printers on competitive rates by calling
quotations when the office was at Hisar At Panchkula it was learnt that a ldquoSamvadrdquo
society has been established by the Government that takes up publications work of
different departments The first issue of our Newsletter in 2014 and a report were got
printed through ldquoSamvadrdquo
The ldquoSamvadrdquo society was reluctant to take up Ayog printing work as the
number of copies required by us is usually less than one thousand whereas they are
printing copies in lakhs Some publication work of the Ayog got delayed for more than
a month therefore the matter was reported in the last meeting of the Ayog held on 28
May 2014 and it was decided that the Ayog may directly obtain quotations from the
printers empanelled by ldquoSamvadrdquo for getting our job done on priority and without delay
This experience has also not been very good Firstly the empanelled
printers also do not respond to our call for quotations as our volume of job is small We
had to personally collect the quotations from them after persuasion Being big printing
houses our job is ignored or delayed and some times of poor quality
It is proposed that in future Ayog may directly call quotations from the market and give
work order for printing through open competition This will save time and bring about
efficiency in our publication work simultaneously ensuring good quality
The above proposal is placed before the Ayog for consideration and
approval
