Significant reforms have been introduced for the Central Secretariat Stenographers Service. Following a detailed review by a ‘Group of Officers’, the government has made key decisions to reshape recruitment and promotion avenues. Notably, direct recruitment for Stenographer Grade ‘C’ (PA) positions has ceased. Instead, future appointments to Stenographer Grade ‘C’ (PA) will be split, with 50% filled through a Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) for Stenographer Grade ‘D’ employees, and the other 50% through seniority-based promotions from Stenographer Grade ‘D’. A crucial new requirement for the LDCE, applicable for promotions to Stenographer Grade ‘C’ (PA), is the inclusion of computer literacy, ensuring staff are equipped with modern skills. These strategic changes came into effect on June 16, 2005, with formal amendments to the relevant service rules anticipated to be issued.
