Cabinet approves promotion for govt employees after 9 yrs
After nine years, the state govt on Tuesday opened the doors for the promotion of govt employees. Briefing the media after the cabinet meeting, the minister for urban administration, Kailash Vijayvargiya, said, "In the last nine years, there were many hindrances in the way of promotion of state govt employees. This time, we found a way for giving promotions."
He further stated, "With promotions, the lower rank posts will get vacant, making way for fresh recruitments."
He mentioned that the govt has taken all precautions to maintain and respect the high court and other court orders, so that there are no legal complications with the promotions.
Provisions have been made to include 20% reservation for scheduled tribes (ST) and 16% for scheduled castes (SC). SC and ST public servants will also have the opportunity for promotion based on merit, the minister said.
A state govt release explained, "Departmental Promotion Committees may meet in the current year to prepare selection lists for the next year's vacancies.
Due weightage will be given to seniority, and among senior officials, those obtaining the minimum qualifying marks will be eligible for promotion. For Class I officers, a merit-cum-seniority principle will apply."
For Class IV employees, there will be no marks system; they will be promoted solely based on suitability. Even partial service in a year will be considered as full qualifying service. Provisions have also been made to allow promotion against posts vacated by officers on deputation who will not be available in the promotion year.
The rules ensure that posts available on a particular day are filled, based on merit and representation of reserved categories.
Approximately 2 lakh new posts will be created with the promotions, leading to enhanced administrative efficiency and effectiveness.
In another decision, the cabinet approved the establishment, operation, and construction of 459 new anganwadi centres in special tribal areas under the PM-JANMAN (Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Nagarik Mahaabhiyan) scheme.
Approval was also given to create 459 honorary posts for anganwadi workers, another 459 posts for anganwadi helpers, and 26 regular supervisory posts.
