In November 2006, the Portal india.gov.in team made a humble attempt to facilitate receiving online responses from Individuals and Groups to the Questionnaire on the different topics prepared by the Commission through designing an exclusive Decision Support System on the National Portal. Participation included members of the public, peoples' representatives, consumer associations, staff associations, State/UT Governments, Ministries/Departments and many others. All were welcome for their suggestions and comments. The Commission held a series of meetings from time to time with officers, unions and associations in various States and UTs which were placed for information in the public domain through the Portal. Intensive studies were conducted by three premier institutes on a range of issues from the parameters of performance related incentives to cost to Government (C2G) and terminal benefits.
