Only capabilities left with Public works Department of Daman & Diu is preparation of Estimates @admrdddnh

Once upon a time, Public Works Department of Daman & Diu was the nodal agency which executed civil and other allied works for all government departments.

They prepare estimates and execute works / projects for various departments. PWD prepares estimates even now but after preparation of estimates and Administrative Approval & Expenditure Sanction, project is handed over to M/s. O.I.D.C. Ltd. (a Govt. undertaking) for execution.

Why hand over projects to M/s O.I.D.C. Ltd.?

Is a PWD, Daman & Diu lacks capability to execute projects?

Are they good for nothing?

If they do not have capabilities, why not close down the whole department and why not save crores of rupees of tax payers’ money?
