Recommendations Example: SPR Karnataka Appointment of contractual staff to fill in gaps in current vacancies Rejuvenate Divisional Joint Directorate covering seven ‘C’ districts Prepare a dedicated HR policy for these districts (Seven ‘C’ category districts & Bellary) Problem • Lack of Human Resource Management in ‘C’ category districts (and Bellary)
