RDD violates GAD circular, promotes 23 Gram Sevaks as BDOs 7/9/2015 11:36:07 PM Sumit Sharma Early Times Report jammu, July 9: Violating a General Administration Department (GAD) circular about promotion of the in-service employees, the Rural Development Department has granted back-to-back promotions to 23 'blue-eyed' employees within short span of their appointment. The 23 village level officers were promoted from Gram Sevaks to Inspectors and then BDOs within two years, sources told Early Times. Among the Gram Sevaks are those who were promoted twice within months, raising question mark on the credibility of the department. The promotions are done on the basis of acquiring higher educational qualifications. Amazingly, the degrees these Gram Sevaks submitted in their support are from the universities which reportedly do not fulfill the UGC guidelines and are not competent to award such degrees/courses. Further, neither they have taken prior permission from department to pursue further degrees, sources alleged. "Twenty-five more officers are likely to be promoted soon on such degrees which is sheer violation of the SRO issued by Higher Education Department. The SRO says that only those degrees are recognized which are authenticated by Jammu or Kashmir University," sources said. "Even the GAD has issued an SRO/Circular (558-GAD) regarding promotion of the in-service employees to the next rank on the basis of acquiring higher educational qualification. In the said SRO the GAD has cautioned that all the departments have to be careful while allowing promotions and the department must ensure proper verification and authentication of such degrees. Moreover, the GAD has also asked for conducting written test for in-service candidates aspiring promotions," the sources added.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
