Ranchi: Following the footsteps
of Bihar, Jharkhand government is pushing the bureaucratic reform.The government
is in advance stage to overhaul the policy regarding state civil service
officers.
Unlike the existing process
of giving them first posting as the blocks or circles as Block Development
Officers (BDOs) and Circle Officers (COs), the newly recruited civil servant
would be positioned in the sub-division or the district headquarters on the
posts, which hitherto cost general 10-12 years of service.
This is an important
component of the upcoming reforms the state government is likely to implement
in coming months.
The proposal, advocated by
Advisor to the Governor Vijay Shankar Dubey, envisages creation of a premium
service comprising officers from administrative, police, engineering, health
and education sectors.
Vijay Shankar Dubey, was the
first Chief Secretary of the state, has headed the Bihar Administrative Reforms
commission earlier.
On his recommendation, Bihar
government has created its premium service cadre and recalled all the BDOs and
COs from the field.
Same practice of appointing
State civil service officers at the sub-division or district levels is being
followed in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Delhi, and lately Bihar.
“And it has brought in
perceptible change in the governance of the respective states with their
delivery system showing remarkable results at the ground level,” Dubey said.
The officers of the premium
service cadres would have upgrades pay scales, matching almost those of the
Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers.
With regard to the posting
of officers in blocks and circles, the reform proposal envisages creation of
two new service cadres as it has done in Bihar—development and revenue services.
The new system of posting of
the Jharkhand administrative service (JAS) officers would also allow them to
get promoted up to the Secretary ranks. In the existing set up, they complete
their service span by reaching upto the post of Joint Secretary or Additional
Secretary.
Dubey said that draft
proposal of the reforms has finalized
