PROCUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT STREAMS OF
The primary objective of this manual is to integrate a clear-cut functioning and reporting
mechanism of Regional Missions (RM) and National Missions (NM) vis-à-vis State Units (SU),
HoDs of Regions, Support Systems, CHQ and Director General’s Office in GSI for effective
control, improvement in delivery mechanism and accountability enforcement. The other
objective has been to fulfill the stated vision of the HPC ‘that Regions function as “Mini GSI”
for programming, execution and monitoring of various scientific and administrative
activities with additional supporting inputs from the Regional Missions, with defined roles
and responsibilities’.
The roles of Regional Missions (RM) have been defined as, a) to act as ‘Think Tank’ in the
concerned domain, conceptualise and provide project ideas/outlines and target to the
working units of the Region (from Project Banks), and b) to act as quality monitors,
enforcers and technical trouble-shooters. They will also be the Technical Project Report
evaluators and approvers on behalf of the HOD of Regions. They will also interface with the
outside agencies/institutions/ state agencies within the respective Region. RMs will assess
and prepare regular training need documents and submit to their respective National
Missons (NM) for further considerations.
National Missions (NM) will provide the broader guideline on existing policy framework,
directives and priorities to Regional Missions. NM will also help in defining priorities keeping
National Policy and Interest in consideration. NM will compile the ‘National level Project
Bank’. NMs will compile pan-GSI approved programmes in their respective domains. NMs
will take reviews of the work in progress in Term Review Meetings along with PSS. NMs will
send experts and mentors from its domain expert list, to a particular field where required.
NMs will be responsible for fulfilling the quantitative targets set for all the sub-components
3
under it. NMs will also prepare and compile the contents of GID/DIDs, special
publications/bulletin series/memoirs etc. in their respective domains. NMs will deal with
Plan Fund allocation under their domain and undertake budgeting, holding, allotting,
distributing, assessing fund required and monitoring expenditure.
HoD, Region and Head, State Units, will be responsible for the whole spectrum of operations
related to the implementation of Field Season Programing. HOD Region will be the accepting
authority of all FSP reports of the Region. HOD, Region will be responsible for formulating
and coordinating Region’s RFD.
Policy Support System (PSS) will be responsible for Science Policy & Coordination, Planning &
Monitoring, CGPB Secretariat, International Cooperation, Commercial Operations &
Geoscience partnerships, etc. It will form broad policy guidelines and year wise Plan targets.
PSS will act as the Technical Secretariat of the DG, GSI. PSS will communicate National Policy
and priorities to the Missions and Regions. PSS will be responsible for all IGC & IGCP related
activities. PSS will be responsible for formulating, coordinating and implementing GSI’s RFD
and its achievement.
Administrative Support System (ASS) will supervise all administrative matters, except
finance, and will be working as administrative arm of DG, GSI and will look after activities
pertaining to Personnel, HRD, Legal Cell, Libraries, Parks and Museums, Estates. ASS will
deal with all Human Resource Development functions and Training Needs Assessment (TNA)
of GSI.
Science & Technology Support System (STSS) will deal with all scientific and technical
infrastructures and overall management of geological, geophysical and chemical laboratory
networks. Transport and monitoring of the operation & maintenance of vehicles of GSI in all
Regions and CHQ will be supervised under Head, STSS. Head STSS will also supervise and

MANUAL ON
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE AND ASSET PROCUREMENT AND
MANAGEMENT STREAMS OF
PREFACE
A ‘High Powered Committee’ was set up on 01 October 2007 by Government of India
under the Chairmanship of Additional Secretary, Ministry of Mines to thoroughly review
the functioning of the Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the
emerging challenges taking into account the organisation’s technological and manpower
resources. The Committee submitted its Report to the Government on 31 March 2009
that was accepted for implementing a number of recommendations of a structural
nature. The Cabinet approved the same on 25 October, 2011.
The Report redefined GSI’s Vision as 1) to develop GSI into a world-class institution for
fundamental as well as applied geosciences, keeping up with the latest technologies and
methodologies; 2) to create a close-knit national Geoscientific community through
leadership and collaborative partnerships and 3) to acquire and provide expertise and
widely disseminate Geoscientific information to facilitate informed decision-making by
policy makers and public and enable use to Geoscientific data for sustainable socio-
economic development. This Vision of GSI was later adopted and notified together with
new Charter of Functions.
In tune with the stated Vision of GSI, HPC Report recommended ‘Restructuring of GSI’.
The aim was to enhance GSI’s capacity and capability especially in identifying, delineating
prospective areas of mineral resources; to make available basic spatial and non-spatial
data for use in a variety of sectors including agriculture, water resources, infrastructure
projects, environment etc.; to help GSI to pursue multidisciplinary geoscience studies for
6
hazard risk assessment of landslides, earthquakes, coastal inundations, glacier retreats,
desertification etc and geotechnical evaluation of major civil engineering ventures for
larger societal benefit.
The activities of GSI had been reorganized into 5 Missions in line with its future
challenges, which are namely, Baseline Geosciences data generation (Mission I), Natural
Resource Assessments (Mission II), Geoinformatics (Mission III), Fundamental and Multi-
disciplinary Geoscience (Mission IV) and Training and capacity building (Mission V).
Three Support Systems, Policy Support System (PSS), S & T Support System (STSS) and
Administrative Support System (ASS) were introduced and structured to provide support
and cross-cutting co-ordination.
The Mission mode functioning of GSI was put to implementation from FS 2009-10 and
Resolution Orders pertaining to the operational domains of five Missions and Policy
Support System were circulated separately.
As a result of the ‘Right Sizing’ of GSI and introduction of Mission offices, at both
National and Region level, new posts had been created whose functional domains vis-à-
vis pre-existing functional centers, responsibility profiles and reporting structures were
not pre-spelt and required to be etched out. The direction of work flow coupled with
time period assigned to the work segments needed to be detailed. The challenge was to
galvanise and integrate the new responsibility centers in the GSI’s functional frame
effectively so that workflows are made efficient with new value additions, manpower
resource utilisation in most productive ways to facilitate achievement of set goals and
Vision of the Organisation. Primarily, these needs drove GSI, at the insistence and
guidance from its administering Ministry, to formulate this Manual. A draft version of the
manual was prepared by PSS-P & M and circulated / placed in the ‘Meeting of HODs and
Mission, Heads’, held on 23-24 August, 2013 at GSITI, Hyderabad in which Shri A.
Sundaramurthy, Director General, Geological Survey of India chaired and Shri D. S.
Mishra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Mines presided. The deliberations in the Meeting
helped form the final draft of the Manual, which was put up in the GSI Portal for 7 days
inviting feedbacks from one and all. Simultaneously, the final draft was also submitted to
the Ministry of Mines as an attachment to the minutes of the ‘Meeting of HODs and
Mission, Heads’. The feedbacks and few suggestions on the final draft were also received
7
from some quarters. Further detailed discussions with Regional HoDs and Mission Heads
in GSI were held during Internal Peer Review of FSP proposals formulations at Kolkata (2
Dec 2013-13 Jan 2014) . Relevant modifications and additions have been considered and
incorporated. First, the Manual was scripted for Scientific and Technical Streams of GSI
and later the other streams of the GSI were also put under its purview, under the
directive from Ministry of Mines. Thus, the present comprehensive Manual emerged,
evolved and crystallized in this finalized form for compliance by all concerned.
Finally, it is to be reiterated that the contents of this Manual are the functional outcome
from all the above-mentioned events, documents including Quest for Excellence –
Envisioning Milestones for GSI, reports, circulars and resolutions. The roles,
responsibility and reporting process mentioned herein shall supercede all earlier
orders/circulars/resolutions/ notifications in case of a direct conflict of parts and/ or
paras thereof.
Last but not the least, it is to be made clear that this manual will be put to practice now
onward in GSI and further incorporation/modification/deletion will be considered and
effected for functional optimization after due diligence and time tested implementation
of the same.

ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE AND ASSET PROCUREMENT AND
MANAGEMENT OF
OBJECTIVE
1. To integrate a clear-cut functioning and reporting mechanism of Regional Missions

(RM) and National Missions (NM) vis-à-vis State Units (SU), HoDs of Regions, Support
Systems, CHQ and Director General’s Office in GSI for effective control and
accountability enforcement.
2. So that Regions function as “Mini GSI” for programming, execution and monitoring
of various scientific and administrative activities with additional supporting inputs
from the Regional Missions, with defined roles and responsibilities.
PREMISES
1. Roles and Responsibilities mentioned below should be taken and interpreted in

broader context of GSI’s interest and are not to be in conflict with the GSI’s stated
Vision, Charter and Responsibilities.
2. Regions and State Units will function as have been doing earlier as geographically
separate entities with added responsibilities, checks and balances and in-built
accountability constraints woven in team spirit. Reporting structure and flow of work
will essentially remain the same as have been vested in them except in the areas
mentioned below.
3. All to and fro official communication between the RMs and the project teams of
SUs/Divisions will be signed and routed through the SU/Division Head. All to and fro
official communication between the NMs and the RMs will be routed through the
9
HOD, Regions for comprehensive treatment of issues facilitating collective decision
making and effective implementation.
4. Same procedure and routes will have to be followed in case of modification/alteration
of the on-going Field Season Programme [FSP] items, as described, in detail, in the
FSP formulation part.
GENERAL STRUCTURE OF FUNCTIONING IN GSI
GSI’s major functions center on the following:-
1. Schematic Planning and formulations [goal setting] of Field Season Programmes

(FSPs).
2. Execution and monitoring [both qualitative and quantitative aspects] of FSPs and
3. Preparation, reviewing, acceptance and circulation of FSP reports of GSI.
Other functions include

4. Administrative Ministry vis-à-vis GSI: various areas in Geosciences
5. GSI vis-à-vis Other Ministries / Depts/ Institutions: various areas in Geoscience
partnerships including those with State Govt. Departments/Institutions and
University Departments of Earth Sciences.
The roles, responsibilities and functioning of the officers under the pre-existing Operations
(SUs) and Regions are clear in the above-mentioned three areas. They will continue to
undertake their assigned roles and responsibilities in the domains of FSP formulation, FSP
execution and monitoring, FSP Report generation and other designated functions.
The newly created Missions provide an additional comprehensive and focused technical
domain expertise and thus add an important dimension to the whole working machinery for
quality and value added outcomes.
Support Systems provide infrastructural support and science policy coordination directives
to these operations in terms of planning, functional regime/interactions, administrative
support and laboratory base supports.
The overall Reporting Hierarchy for APAR is given in Annexure I, IA, IB, IC and ID.

J. GENERAL NOTES
1. Regional Missions and National Missions need to be provided with adequate

manpower and infrastructure resources in consultation with them.
2. In case of framing additional projects during the ongoing FSP same procedure as the
regular one will be followed.
3. RMs and National Mission should metamorphose themselves as the regional and
central ‘Think Tanks’ in their respective domains. Regular intra-Mission, both at the
Regional and National level, technical sessions/discussions are to be held to foster a
strong Mission level domain expertise and knowledge exchange culture.
4. Execution of the FSP items is the sole responsibility of the SUs and Regions.
Quantitative monitoring of the progress of FSP work will largely be done through the
Director, PSS of the Regions.
5. Regional level Quality management cells will be abolished. Henceforth Missions will
be primarily responsible for monitoring quality.
6. The report submission due dates will be notified by the Director, PSS and the
SUs/Division will submit the First draft by that due date to the HOD, Region. The
Director, PSS will distribute the respective reports to the RMs.
7. NMs should develop themselves as the National Repository of domain specific
Knowledge Base and Data. Over period of time, the escalation of technical expertise
of the NMs will be the main strength of GSI from which team leaders and expertise
can be drawn in time of National emergencies, foreign assignment or National
projects with complex technical problem.
8. Initiative on innovation in the existing fields of work should be generated from the
NMs.
9. HRD will arrange to man the positions as per functional requirement and resource
availability. A minimum infrastructural [pyramid] needs to be created and filled-in
with appropriate postings of skilled manpower and support system.
10. It is clearly understood that heads of Administrative Units/Divisions must cater and
administer to the needs of the subjects and personnel, effective and gainful
deployment with discipline and dedication ought to be pre-requisites for improved
discharge of responsibilities and facilitation of achievement of geoscientific pursuits.
11. Although the roles of ADG (ASS) and ADG (P&A) are overlapping to some extent,
there is a need to revisit and elaborate on functional responsibilities and disposal of
45
official business with the view to improve the delivery and accountability aspects of
administrative and financial issues in GSI.
