In
the last one month, two sets of officers—one from DANICS (Delhi Andaman and
Nicobar Islands Civil Service) and another from the Central Secretariat
Services—met MoS in PMO and personnel ministry Jitendra Singh to narrate their
woes, demanding quick and sound solutions. For example, the 2008 batch DANICS
officers who have competed eight years of service are now eligible to be
inducted into the IAS, but the irony is that even 1989 batch DANICS are yet to
be IAS officers. The officers expressed concern about the acute stagnation in
DANICS services which, they alleged, not only leads to financial loss but also
denies career growth. Many of the officers even retire without getting a chance
to be IAS at all. SC and ST officers are the worst affected because many of
them join the service late due to the age relaxation available to them. DANICS
officers are posted on crucial administrative assignments in the Union
Territory areas of Delhi, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli, Andaman and Nicobar
and Lakshadweep. The members of the delegation further explained to the
minister that they were performing their duties in “arduous and difficult
situations, but feeling disillusioned because of delay in their career
progression”. g
