The project period is three years. At the state level: Consultancy services required at the state level are for PPP experts, MIS experts, and the legal firms. Differences will arise in the orientation of the experts to the needs of the individual states, and a lessened scope and coverage. Hence, the depth of professional experience necessary could be lower/different for the non-DEA based experts. This will be specific to the individual entity that is recruiting the experts. The identified States include: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Jharkand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nade, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, and West Bengal. |
