Cash-strapped VMC to buy car for edu committee chairman
Vadodara: The cash-strapped Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) is set to dent its resources further by spending Rs 18.55 lakh to buy a car for the chairman of the municipal primary education committee.
The chairman of VMC’s school education committee, which operates 105 schools in the city, is eligible for an official car.
A proposal prepared for the procurement of the new car states that the chairman has to visit the schools in the city as well as travel to Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar for meetings.

The proposal adds that the present Toyota Innova that the chairman uses is a decade old and has already clocked 2.82lakh kilometres. Also it keeps requiring maintenance frequently and over Rs 6 lakh has already been spent on the maintenance of the vehicle.
The VMC will procure a new Toyota Innova Crysta for the chairman from a city-based dealer. Recently, the VMC has procured two similar model vehicles for the VMC mayor and deputy mayor.
