Agenda for the four-monthly meeting with the Chief PMG

  1. Request for taking necessary action for replacement of obsolete and outdated Laptops of Sub-Divisional Heads.   
         
Brief: As per Department of Post (Technology Division) letter No.40-8/2013-Tech dated 28-03-2015 (copy at 47/c), the life period for Computer and Peripheral is fixed to 5 years. In the year-2010 Directorate had supplied Laptops through DGS & D order for all 94 Sub-Divisional Heads in Odisha Circle. Therefore, the Laptops supplied to the Sub-Divisional Heads are crossing the prescribed life period during the year-2015.
This Association, therefore, requests the Circle Administration to take all necessary steps for replacement of obsolete and outdated Laptops available with the Sub-Divisional Heads.     

  1. Request for adherence of Time-schedule for preparation / completion of APARs of IPs/ASPs- Request for putting a system in place for monitoring. 

Brief:- This has a reference to old agenda No.4-5/2012 and 1-10/2013, and Association letter No. No. AIAIPASP/Corr-1/01/2015 dated 19/01/2015. The time-schedule for preparation / completion of APARs has been prescribed in Dept. of Per. & Trg. OM dated 23-7-2009. But, in many instances the Reporting Officers and Reviewing Officers are not strictly adhering to the time line to complete the APARs. In this connection four monthly meeting agenda No.1-10/2013 regarding non-completion of APARs of IPs/ASPs for the year 2011-12 in respect of IPs/ASPs of Sambalpur & Berhampur Regions, and some IPs/ASPs of Head Quarter Region for whom the DPS(BD & Technology) was reviewing authority may kindly be referred to. This Association is consistently urging to put a system in place for monitoring on adherence of Time-schedule for preparation / completion /disclosure of APARs. 

It has become a practice to enquire about the APARs only at the time of DPC for promotion or convening of screening committee for MACP cases. This is definitely a matter of concern. Even though the APAR is disclosed to the officer reported upon but the same is not available in the record (i.e. CR Dossier) in some cases. It is also learnt that in the recent DPC for promotion of IPs to ASP cadre the APAR of last five years was considered by going back due to non-availability of APARs on record (i.e. CR Dossier) though the APAR for that period is already disclosed to the officer reported upon.   




This Association once again urges for kind intervention of the CPMG in the matter and to consider the following suggestions:-

1.   Putting a system in place at Circle Office and Regional Offices for monitoring on adherence of Time-schedule for preparation / completion / disclosure of APARs.
2.   Obtaining a disclosure certificate after the crucial date i.e. 1st September of each year from the unit heads regarding disclosure of APARs to the officer reported upon in respect of IPs/ASPs working in their unit.
3.   To keep a record on status of APARs (availability in the CR Dossiers) of IPs and ASPs and disclosure certificates thereof.
4.   Issuing a direction to the unit heads to check at their end the details of non-availability of APARs of IPs/ASPs working in their unit for the last three years and to take necessary action for making available of the records in their CR Dossiers and disclosure of the APARs to the officer reported upon.

3.   Request to stop the irregular practice of reversion from ad-hoc promotion on regular appointment which has been adopted in Odisha Circle in the recent past.
Brief:- If the ad-hoc promotion is followed by a regular appointment without break, the Government Servant can exercise option within one month from the date of such regular appointment and the option shall be admissible from the date of initial appointment / promotion. It is noticed in the recent past that the IPs and ASPs on their regular appointment in ASP cadre and PS Group-B Cadre are being reverted from the ad-hoc promotion to deprive the Government Servant from the above facility which is admissible under rules.

This Association urges to stop the irregular practice of reversion from ad-hoc promotion on regular appointment which has been adopted in Odisha Circle in the recent past.

4.   Request for continuity of ad-hoc arrangement in ASP cadre and PS Group-B Cadre beyond one year by obtaining prior approval of DOPT.

Brief:- At present ad-hoc promotion is given to IPs to ASP cadre for 11 months with the arrangement of termination of ad-hoc arrangement on completion of 11 months. The practice of giving a break periodically and appointing the same person on an ad-hoc basis is discouraged in the DOPT OM No.28036/8/87-Estt.(D) dated 30.3.1988.

Therefore, this Association suggests for continuity of ad-hoc arrangement in ASP cadre and PS Group-B Cadre beyond one year by obtaining prior approval of DOPT.
