Govt. issues GO on temporary posts

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD APRIL 1. The Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to forthwith discontinue regular direct recruitment in Group III, IV and Class IV categories posts against the existing temporary vacancies.

This was announced in the "new recruitment policy and guidelines'' issued by the Government recently to streamline the employment procedures wherein the Government had directed the implementation committees of departments to make recommendations on the need and justification for continuation or otherwise of temporary posts as well as other posts in the non-core functional categories. "However, in future, no further direct recruitment shall take place for such non-core functions or posts,'' the Government said in its orders (GO Ms 94 of the GAD dated March 28, 2003).

The Government said that only a certain number of posts under gazetted and non-gazetted posts under the service rules of the departments concerned and Group I and II posts under the AP State and Subordinate Service Rules would be treated as `core functional posts' for which recruitments would be made. "However, in future, no new posts in the non-core functional categories shall be made permanent,'' the orders said.

Further, the Government issued instructions that henceforth, direct recruitment shall be restricted only in case of vacancies arising against the existing permanent posts in all the departments and the number of direct recruit vacancies in the permanent posts shall be computed only after adjusting the existing direct recruits presently working against temporary posts. The Government also directed departments to maintain separate rosters for permanent and temporary posts of all core-functional categories in order to identify direct recruitment and promotion vacancies.

Expressing concern that the implementation committees, have not been meeting regularly, the Government said that the implementation committees need to be reactivated with immediate effect.
