COMMITTEE: IMPORTANCE

Organisations appoint small groups and entrust them with specific tasks to be completed within a stipulated time known as committees. Literally, the word ‘committee’ means those members to whom some matter is ‘committed’. A committee is a body of persons elected or appointed to meet on an organised basis for the discussion of matters brought before it. A committee is more or less a formal body, often with a definite structure. It meets to do a specific job, such as making plans or budgets, taking policy decisions or only making suggestions and recommendations.
