The Task Force will be free to constitute working groups, co-opt additional members/special invitees, consult national and international leaders in the field. The Task Force is expected to complete its work within a period of six months from the date of its constitution and submit its recommendations in the form of periodic/ interim reports in respect of various terms assigned to it, the Personnel Ministry order said.
