Gandhinagar : All the departments of the state government will now make any purchase by the government e-market place by GeM, Chief Secretary Mr. J. N. Sing said on GeM’s launching event for 6 weeks from Mahatma Mandir today. If there is a need to purchase anything other than the GeM platform, then that department will have to seek permission from the industry department. This platform will be successful as more buyers and sellers join the GeM so that it is important to give priority as the Chief Secretary added.
The campaign aimed at spreading awareness about the government e-marketplace (GeM) by the state and central government has been carried out from 6 September to 17 October across the country.
