DoPT bid to ‘right-size’ staff across ministries

At a time when the government is tightening the belt on unnecessary expenditure, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has, in an ambitious move, initiated a manpower audit for rationalisation of staff.
Government sources said the exercise is aimed at “right-sizing the staff strength”’ across all ministries and department. “We want to clarify that we are not downsizing the staff but just right-sizing or rationalising it to distribute it evenly all over,” a senior DoPT official said.
Sources added that once the survey is done excess staff from a particular ministry or department will be transferred to the ones facing a staff crunch.
The government as of now is not favourably inclined to go in for fresh recruitments unless absolutely necessary.
Eventually this exercise will end up saving money for the government.
Both the finance ministry and the DoPT in the last few days have announced a slew of measures aimed at cost cutting which include restrictions of foreign travel, stay and meeting in five-star hotels, buying new vehicles and big ticket appointments.
“It has been noticed that some ministries and dep-artments are heavily over staffed. Some of this staff is not governed by the DoPT but by the concerned ministries only. We are in touch with such ministries so that their extra staff can be adjusted somewhere else,” the DoPT official added.
According to DoPT the excess staff is mostly at the level of Class III and IV employees and it was a priority to rationalise them first.
A number of senior officials who have exceeded their five-year deputation but continue in their present positions will also be repatriated, sources added.

Govt to Train Nodal Officers on Do's and Dont's of RTI Act

 In a move aimed at strengthening the Right to Information Act, the central government has decided to train nodal officers dealing with RTI applications both at the Centre and in states on various do's and don'ts of the transparency law.

Officials said the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has planned a detailed training programme for Central Public Information Officers (CPIOs) and State Public Information Officers (SPIOs), who act as nodal officers to deal with RTI applications.

The officials will be made aware of periodic changes made in the RTI Act and e-handling of applications.

"There have been many queries from CPIOs and SPIOs while resolving RTI applications. The department has taken an initiative to train the officials dealing with RTI applications at the Centre and in states through a centrally sponsored scheme," a DoPT officer said.

He said the officers will also be trained on ways to provide the information sought in an RTI query.

"There have been instances where information seekers ask for opinion rather than information. The CPIOs and SPIOs face lot of problems in responding to such applications as the fear of facing penalty or admonishment from the Central Information Commission or State Information Commission is always on their minds. All such issues are also taken up during training programmes," the official said.

The DoPT had in 2010 introduced a plan scheme 'Improving transparency and accountability in government through effective implementation of Right to Information Act' in order to continue to support the State Information Commission and Administrative Training Institutes in the area of awareness generation and capacity building.

The officer said the government has issued instructions requiring all public authorities to update records, improve infrastructure and bring out necessary manuals as provided in the Act and comply with the provisions regarding suo-motu disclosure.

The RTI Act, which was enacted in 2005, covers disclosure of information on almost all matters of governance.

The government has also decided to give a grant of Rs 2.5 lakh each to a State Information Commission for organising RTI week between October 5-11 every year, another Rs 2.5 lakh each to training institutes for innovative awareness generation programmes and Rs 50 lakh each for organising workshops and seminars.

"Every year there is a surge in filing of RTI applications with every public authority. Hence, there is a need to train officials dealing with it to timely respond to queries raised by an information seeker. The training will be aimed at enhancing competence and computerisation of whole information delivery system," he said.

According to the DoPT, the CPIOs and SPIOs will also be trained in computer literacy.

"The DoPT will seek details of utilisation of funds by SICs annually and only after receiving it further grants will be issued," the official said.

Confirmation in Government Service – Service Matters

September 29, 2011 By admin 1 Comment

Confirmation in Government Service – Service Matters
Consequent on issue of Govt. orders, with effect from 1/4/88 confirmation will be made only once in the service in the entry grade, Confirmation de-linked from the availability of permanent vacancies in the grade. Therefore, an officer who has successfully completed the probation period may be considered for promotion.

The Departmental Promotion committee will determine fitness for confirmation, and the confirmation orders issued based on DPC recommendations when the case is cleared from all angles.

When recruitment rules do not provide any probation period to the post to which the officer has been promoted (based on the confirmation in the entry grade after following DPC procedure), the officer thus promoted to the grade will enjoy all the benefits that are available to the officer confirmed in that post.
When probation period is prescribed for the higher post, the appointing authority should assess the performance of the officer and declare him fit to cross the probation period or otherwise revert to lower post if his performance is not satisfactory. Rigorous screening of performance is necessary as confirmation is done only in the entry grade.

As a result of introduction of one time confirmation as the entry grade, lien to hold substantive post has undergo change.

AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE MEETING OF NATIONAL ANOMALY COMMITTEE {CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS}

Expected DA from July 2012 may be 7% again

                              Central D.A. from July'12 may be 7% again.

Subject to AICIN data for the next two months remaining in the current level, the following assumption is being made.

The AICPIN data for April 12 has been recently published. It rises to 4 points and reached 205. We know that D.A. is calculated on the basis for 12 months average. To calculate the D.A. payable from 1st July 2012, we need the figures of May and June 2012 which are to be released on 30.06.12 and 31.07.12 respectively. If the data remains for the next two months in the same level, i.e. 205, the hike will be 7%. Even if it marginally drops  1 point in any of the months, the rise will be still 7% which will take the total D.A. to 72%.

Considering the latest hike in petrol price, it is unlikely that the index may drop in the next months. So we can guess the next D.A. hike @7%, revising our previous guess work.
