In a bid to quicken recruitment process, the State cabinet which met on Wednesday has decided to streamline the recruitment approval process which used to often take more than a year to one which can be completed in one month.
Announcing the decision, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said that it was a significant administrative reform in which rather than the file moving between departments, the three departments concerned will now sit across the table and thrash out the issue before submitting a recommendation.
"There are three departments which give approval for employment though they do not recruit people themselves -- the Administrative Reforms Department which needs to analyse the requirement of the department and agree or disagree with the post; the Personnel Department which has to check whether the post does not mismatch some other post from the department and create confusion, and third is financial approval based on the financial status of the State as well as of the recruiting department. After that the matter goes to the cabinet,"
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar explained.
"Today we have taken a decision, that in which this process has been changed into a collegiate system. The process will remain, but all three departments will sit with the department concerned which requires the post and these three departments -- in a collegiate way -- which means the file will not be moved, but (they) will discuss across the table, what has to be granted," Parrikar said.
He said that the departments will then jointly send a recommendation to a high-powered committee he will chair, because he is the minister of all the departments and has as members the Chief Secretary, the personnel secretary, the ARD secretary and the finance secretary and which will finalise the recommendations.
"The departments can then go ahead and recruit staff. The recruitment process will not be affected," the CM said.
He added that on account of the earlier process several persons used to remain unpaid even after being recruited and salaries would begin only after six months.
This system will be in place for a year until it is
streamlined.
