Subject: Inclusion of the post of Personal Assistant in the

list of feeder grade to Grade-II DANICS-reg.

-----------

Sir,

With reference to the subject cited above, I would like to bring to your kind notice the following points for your kind information and sympathetic consideration please:-

As per Schedule-II of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli (Civil Service) Rules, 2003, the following posts/ grades/ services, amongst others, are eligible for induction into Entry Grade :-

(a) Posts under the Govt. of NCT of Delhi

(i) Senior Stenographer (Grade-I)

(ii) Personal Assistant to Deputy Commissioner of Delhi

(b) Posts under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration

(i) Superintendent

(ii) Block Development Officer

(iii) Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies

(c) Posts under the Lakshadweep Administration

(i) Block Development Officer

(ii) Junior Employment Officer

(d) Posts under the Daman and Diu Administration

(i) Superintendent (Grade-B)

(ii) Mamlatdar

(iii) Block Development Officer

(iv) Enquiry Officer, City Survey

(v) Assistant Sales Tax Officer

(e) Posts under the Dadra and Nagar Haveli Administration

(i) Superintendent

(ii) Land Reforms Officer

(iii) Mamlatdar

All the above posts are identical posts to the post of Personal Assistant of Andaman and Nicobar Administration and are in the same Pay Band i.e., Rs.9300-34800 (PB-2) + Rs.4200 – Grade Pay.

The promotional avenue for the post of Personal Assistant is very less as there are 85 posts of Personal Assistants and only 7 (seven) posts of Private Secretary, the promotional post of PA, in the Administration as on date. Most of the Stenographic Cadre employees will be retiring on superannuation as PAs due to lack of promotional avenue for them.

Most of the PAs have put in more than 25 years of service and assisting senior officers of the Administration. Due to the nature of their duties, they have got rich administrative knowledge and experience.

Keeping in view the above background, I would request your goodself to send a proposal to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. if India, who is the cadre controlling authority of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli Services (DANICS) to include the post of Personal Assistant of Andaman and Nicobar Administration in Schedule-II of the said Services to do justice with the Personal Assistants.

We have learnt that A&N Administration has recently sent a proposal to include the post of Public Relations Officer of IP&T Deptt. In Schedule –II of the said Services, which is also an identical post to the post of Personal Assistant.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(D. Ayyappan)
