Chief Secretary RS Sharma said on Friday that that the combined entrance examinations of SSC and JPSC should be optimised and the recruitment process should be done with a 10-year plan in mind. He suggested that instead of conducting multiple examinations for different departments there should be a common examination defining the broad categories of service rules.
Sharma, who was holding a review meeting of personnel department at Project Building Secretariat, said that the administration in the state should be clear and transparent.
The CS asked to devise a reminder system to the people six months before six months of retirement asking them to fill the pension form. This would enable people to draw pension from the day one of retirement, said and added that the rules for withdrawal of GPF should be simplified.
Sharma said that the system for availing causal leave by the employees should be simplified and an online process should be introduced for filing of casual leave applications, he said. The health reimbursement issues should also be made simplified, he added.
The Chief Secretary said that the portable device for biometric authentication attendance system offers advanced verification of employees of different cadres.
The Principal Secretary, Personnel Development, S.K. Sathpathy, Additional Secretary, Personnel Department Saroj Shrivastava, the Joint Secretary, Personnel Department, Suman Kumar, Deputy Secretary, Personnel Department Yatindra Prasad, the Deputy Secretary, Personnel Department, Pramod Kumar Tiwari along with other officials were also present during the meeting.
