The Government set up the Board for Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises (BRPSE) in December, 2004 to advise the Government on revival of sick/loss making CPSEs. Based on the recommendations of BRPSE, the Government has been taking measures to revive sick & loss making CPSEs through financial restructuring, business restructuring, modernization and manpower rationalization.
