Sikkim Biodiversity Conservation and Forest Management Project

Transfer Of The Pmu Staff Members To The Forest Department

The officers assigned to work in the PMU will need to return to the Forest Department after the completion of the Project. The Forest Department, in consultation with the PMU and with support of consultants, will determine the appropriate posts for these officers. The posts should be assigned to take full advantage of the experience, skills, knowledge, and techniques, especially those in GIS and GPS, wildlife management, and biodiversity conservation that the officers gain during the Project. The PMU staff members temporary hired for the Project will complete their assignments by the end of the Project.

The Forest Department will have no obligation to continue their contracts. However, these staff members may be hired, if needed, under new contracts issued by the Forest Department. The Project will ensure that, by the end of the project, all payments will be made and cleared as per the contracts signed by these staff members.
