The Collector,
West Godavari District in his letter second read above has reported that according
to the orders issued in the U.O.Note No.434/57-1, GA. (Ser.C) Department, dt.
16- 5-1957, Government Employees are eligible to join evening colleges, by
obtaining the prior permission of the Head of the Departments in the case of
Non-Gazetted Officers and of the Government in the case of Gazetted Officers,
subject to the condition that it should not in any way, interfere with or be
detrimental to the discharge of their official duties. In the Govt. Memo.
No.2209/Ser.C/73-l, G.A. (Ser.C) Department, dated 17-1-1974 powers have also
been delegated to all the Heads of Departments to permit non-Gazetted Officers
working under them to join evening colleges. In Government Memo.
No.74/Ser.C/82-1, GA. (Ser.C) Department, dt. 1-2-1982 Government have issued
orders imposing certain conditions, while permitting Government employees to
join evening colleges.
2. The Collector, West Godavari District
has reported that there is a morning college at Bhimavaram, West Godavari
Dist., to study B.L. and the studies in the morning session are from 7.30 a.m.
to 10.00 a.m. and that some of the Government employees of Bhimavaram town have
applied for grant of permission to study B.L. in the morning session (i.e.)
from 7.30 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. The employees have represented that their studies
in the morning session do not in any way, interfere with or are detrimental to
the discharge of their official duties, and therefore, they have requested to
grant of permission to prosecute studies in the morning college at Bhimavaram.
3. The Collector has further pointed out
that as per the U.O. Note No.434/57-1, GA. (Ser.C) Dept., dt. 16-5-1957 the
permission was confined to the studies in the evening sessions only and that in
the day-to-day administration morning hours are more precious and loss of 2-1/2
hours from 7 .30 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. is very much difficult to adjust. He has,
however, sought for clarification from the Government whether Government
employees (Non-Gazetted) may be permitted to join in the morning session in the
college to pursue private study without detrimental to the discharge of their
official duties.
4. The orders in the U.O.Note
No.434/Ser.C/57-1, GAD, dt. 16-5-1957 granting permission to the employees to
join evening colleges for studies were issued when there were evening colleges.
Now, there are morning colleges also from 7.30 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. before office
hours, the Government consider that the orders already issued may equally apply
for the studies in the morning colleges also.
5. In view of the above, the Collector,
West Godavari District is requested to grant permission to Government employees
(Non-Gazetted) working under him to join in the morning session college,
Bhimavaram to study B.L., imposing the conditions laid down in the govt. memo.
1st read above. He is however, requested to modify the condition 3 in the said
order indicating that "on occasion requiring his presence in office before
office hours, the individual should ungrudgingly attend office".
6. Suitable amendment to the A.P. Civil
Services (Conduct) Rules will be issued separately by Genl. Admn. (Ser.C)
Department.
7. The Collector, West Godavari District is
requested to take further action accordingly.
