He briefed the meeting that the administrative secretaries had many new ideas to improve the working of their departments but they needed a new team and specialized persons to implement them.  The CS announced for hiring the services of consultants and constituting separate teams out of current available strength of staff to implement those ideas. The package of consultants will be decided later..
