The Centre wants more officers from state governments for central deputation at the level of deputy secretary, director and joint secretary. It has written to states to spare such officers, as it will enhance their experience and career progression.
The Personnel Ministry said in a recent order that every cadre is allowed a deputation reserve where officers get the chance to work on deputation including that under the Centre, which enhances their experience.
But, the order said, “The utilization of this reserve is low and this under-utilization, particularly at Deputy Secretary/Director level, causes serious gaps in cadre management.”
“It is, therefore, requested that larger number of officers may kindly be recommended for appointment at DS/Director/JS level under the central staffing scheme so that the central deputation reserve/deputation reserves are duly utilized for this purpose,” it said.
