Exciting developments are underway in the government’s efforts to optimize its administrative services! A crucial third cadre review is being conducted for the Central Secretariat Stenographers’ Service, aimed at streamlining operations and ensuring appropriate staffing levels. This initiative seeks detailed input from all participating units, requesting comprehensive data on their post requirements. This data, backed by strong justifications and calculations, will be evaluated against recommendations from the Cadre Restructuring Committee, specifically focusing on the revised entitlements for personal staff across various officer ranks. The goal is to ensure that every department is adequately resourced with the necessary secretarial support, from entry-level stenographers to those assisting top-tier officials. This structured approach, involving a designated committee for allocation recommendations, underscores a commitment to efficient and effective governance. Departments are encouraged to submit their proposals promptly to contribute to this vital administrative overhaul.
