He said that if the committee found the idea and DPR feasible, it would be sent to the government for approval and float a tender for implementing the projects.
Tynsong said that like Meghalaya, a number of states have also adopted the Swiss Challenge Method of Procurement.
The Swiss Challenge Method of Procurement is a new form of public procurement, wherein a government invites bids for a public project, and then publishes the bid, before inviting competing counter proposals to either match or improve the initial proposal.
