Draft Gradation List

6-10-2010

The Personnel & Administrative Reforms Department has published a Draft Gradation List of WBCS (Exe) Officers today by issuing a letter and invited claims and objections.
The list contains 1576 names, which include some names retired already from service on superannuation. Moreover, it has not incorporated the officers of 2009 batch.
The list has shown the promotee and direct-recruit officers separately from 1996 batch onward. Although the officers belonging up to 2008 Direct batch appearing the title of the list reads: “From 1969 to 2005”!
In most cases the information about whether an officer has been confirmed or not remains missing. Also, the column of ‘awarded scale no’ has been left blank except in few cases. Under the column ‘present post held’ the information provided is erroneous for most of the officers.
On 4 June this year the then Chief Secretary admitted to a delegation of the Association that publication of Civil List for WBCS (Exe) officers was long awaited. He assured of taking appropriate steps immediately. The Cadre Controlling Department took four months to prepare an incomplete and defective list. It shows the casual approach of the Department and incompetence of those involved in its management once again.
