- 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for taking necessary action for replacement of obsolete and outdated Laptops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necessary steps for replacement of obsolete and outdated Laptops available with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.
- 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.
