Digital Desk: The Assam government has decided to create 72 temporary Senior Grade-I (SG-I) posts in the Assam Civil Services to accommodate 72 ACS officers in order to reinforce the organizational structure of various ministries and increase administrative efficiency, officials said.
The decision was made during a state cabinet meeting at Janata Bhawan, presided over by chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Assam Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah announced the cabinet decisions, saying that there will be 250 SG-I ACS officers (present strength 178) and that the shortage will be filled by promoting 72 qualified SG-II officers from 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002, and 2004 batches.
"The proposed 72 temporary positions will be raised to the rank of officer. Once an officer is adjusted against regular vacancies at SG-I level or an officer is promoted to selection grade, the temporary SG-I post personal to the officer concerned shall be reverted to SG-II," Jayanta Malla Baruah said.
