Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Minister Dr Jitendra Singh today reiterated the government’s emphasis on timely promotions to keep the employees motivated to work and perform. During the interaction with a delegation from the Central Secretariat Services Group C Employees’ Association at Parliament, Dr Singh pointed out the large-scale promotions undertaken across the three services-Central Secretariat Service, Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service and Central Secretariat Clerical Service.
He also noted that in order to clear the stagnation of several decades piled up by the earlier government, the Department of Personnel and Training had undertaken an exercise of mass promotions and also cleared the backlog promotions for reserved vacancies. The Minister recalled that more than 8,000 promotions were affected on June 30, 2022 alone, and over 16,200 promotion orders have been issued between 2022 and 2024 across various grades. A detailed representation highlighting issues related to service matters, including promotions and cadre restructuring were submitted by the delegation during the meeting with Dr Singh.
