The Committee explained to the employee organisations that there is no proposal to privatise Ordnance Factory Board. The proposal under consideration of Government is to make it into Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), which is 100 per cent Government owned. Rumours being spread that OFB is being privatised are misguiding and with the intent to mislead the workers. Corporatisation of OFB will bring OFB at par with other DPSUs of MoD. This is in the interest of OFB as it will provide operational freedom and flexibility to OFB which it presently lacks. Besides, the interests of the workers will be adequately safeguarded in any decision taken on the subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Committee also pointed out that Government has been\ncontinuously trying to strengthen the functioning of OFB, including having\ntaken several steps to modernise the factories, carry out capital upgradation,\nre-train and re-skill OFB employees at Government costs, enable development of\nproducts and components with indigenous technology.The Committee urged the\nemployee organisations to recognise Government\u2019s efforts to make OFB into a\ncompetitive, productive and efficient organisation with higher turnover and\nenhanced profitability, which would also be in the interest of the employees.\nTherefore, the Committee once again urged the employee organisations to\nwithdraw their proposed strike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
