The Government of India has taken a significant step to streamline its administrative framework by formally integrating various departmental posts into the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) and Central Secretariat Stenographers Service (CSSS). This strategic move, detailed in a recent order, focuses on key positions within the Ministry of Finance, specifically from the Department of Expenditure and the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management. Roles such as Under Secretary, Section Officer, Assistant Section Officer, Private Secretary, and Personal Assistant are being brought into these unified cadres. This initiative not only standardizes personnel management across different government wings but also aims to foster consistent career progression and enhance overall administrative efficiency. It reflects a broader commitment to optimizing the structure and functioning of central government services, ensuring a more cohesive and effective public administration.
