Participation in SPC - SHDIR proposal Financial bid opening meeting  NC could not get the assignment due to the low quote submitted by MIDS- 26.60 lk, whereas ours is 34.2 lkh.

During the meeting ,Mr. Selverajan -Additional director - Head of division - District planning officer  shared that the amount quoted by both the agencies are high and they do not have that much budget for the TN -SDHR report preparation , they have budget of 8 to 10 lkh for the project and they need to negotiate with MIDS also to reduce the amount.

As it was observed already that  State planning commission do not have enough budget to prepare the TN -SHDR and they have to depend upon the state planning commission budget with some support from UNDP and when i asked whether NC can take some district HDR planning assignment , Mr. Selverajan said that for the present assignment of SDHR  -TN state planning commission will provide the necessary data and only one agency can be given the assignment
