ORDER:
The
question of constituting Departmental Promotion Committees with a view to
securing maximum degree of objectivity in the appraisal of merit and ability of
Government employees for selection to various posts, promotions to which arc outside
the purview of the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission, has been engaging
the attention of Government for some time past. The Administrative Reforms Committee
1964-65 made, certain recommendations for constituting committees consisting
inter-alia of independent members who arc unconnected with the Department involved,
for selection of officers for promotion to Gazetted posts, which are not within
the purview of the Commission, and al~ for non-gazetted posts in the Secretariat
Departments and in the Offices of the Heads of Departments as also in the
Regional and District Offices. The Standing Administrative Reforms Committee considered
the recommendations made by the Administrative Reforms Committee at its meeting
held on 23-3-1968 and commended the procedure suggested by the Administrative Reforms
Committee for Promotion to Gazetted posts which are outside the purview of the Commission.
The question of constituting the said committees, both to gazetted and
non-gazetted posts, promotions to which do not fall within the purview of the
Commission has been considered by the Government and it has been decided to
constitute such committees, their composition being decided by the Advisers and
the Chief Secretary.
2. The Government have
decided that Departmental Promotion Committees as indicated in the annexure be
constituted for promotion to the various categories of Non-gazetted posts in
the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat Service and the Subordinate Services, promotion
to which is outside the purview of the Commission. Government have further
decided that though promotion to the posts in the Andhra Pradesh Ministerial
Service is made on the basil of seniority-cum-efficiency, Departmental Promotion
Committees should be constituted for the purpose of determining the fitness or otherwise
of personnel for promotion to posts in the said service.
3. In case of other
categories of posts in the Subordinate services which are not covered by the
annexure to this order and promotion to which is outside the purview of the
Commission, Departments of Secretariat are requested to take immediate action to
constitute Departmental Promotion Committees on the lines indicated in the annexure.
4. In respect of posts in
the subordinate Services for which rules have yet to be framed, Departments of
Secretariat are requested to take urgent steps to constitute the Departmental
Promotion Committees as soon as the rules are framed.
5. The Departmental
Promotion Committees should be constituted well before the month of August each
year so that selections could be finalised in September as required by General
Rule 4 of the Andhra Pradesh State and subordinate Services Rules. The tenure
of the Members nominated to serve on the Departmental Promotion Committees will
be for a period of one year and there should be a change in the members from
year to year.
6. Orders constituting
Departmental Promotion Committees in respect of gazetted posts, promotion to
which is outside the purview of the Commission will issue separately.
