The Narendra Modi government is implementing an innovative idea
for the young civil services probationers of the 2013 batch. As many as 147
officers will be put on training in different departments of the central
ministries for 90 days. It will be the first posting of their career as
Assistant Secretary and only after completing the training will they move to
their respective cadres. Their training period will be from August 31 to
November 30, 2015. But what is the need for such a move? There is no official
comment but insiders say that it was the suggestion of the Committee of the
Secretaries to put probationers under training in the central government for
the first three months for grooming in the central government environment.
Sources disclosed that the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and others with
non-BJP governments had opposed the move. The West Bengal Chief Minister’s
office is displeased as it had already issued posting orders for 12 officers
with directions to report. This could have been avoided if the states had been
taken into confidence. The DoPT is learnt to have already booked 104 guest
houses in the Commonwealth Games Village, HUDCO Palace, Kidwai Nagar, Kasturba
Gandhi Marg, and so on for the young IAS officers. Wait and watch for the
impact of this innovative move.g
