Explanation

The Disinvestment Commission (1996) was specifically mandated to recommend disinvestment strategies, modes, and pricing for public sector undertakings. Worker protection and social safety nets were handled by other mechanisms like the National Renewal Fund or labor departments, not the Commission itself. The Commission focused on technical aspects of disinvestment - valuation, timing, and methodology - while social issues were outside its core mandate.
