The document delineates institutional responsibilities, including the roles of the Ministry of Water Resources, regional authorities, and the GISS operator. It incorporates procedural safeguards, complaint mechanisms, and reporting requirements, ensuring structured oversight and stakeholder engagement, all explicitly outlined to facilitate transparent and effective subsidy administration.
