Madhya Pradesh: General-Category Staff Divides Into Two Groups Over Promotion Policy | AI Generated Image
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The general-category employees are divided into two groups over the new promotion policy.
The government has set aside a 16% quota for the SC category employees and 20% for the ST category. Resentment is brewing among the general category employees against the reservation provided in the promotion policy.
Nevertheless, those employees who want promotion are not siding with those who are against the reservation in promotion. Chief Secretary Anurag Jain has called a meeting on Thursday after the promotion policy came into existence on June 17.
The meeting will discuss holding departmental promotion committees (DPS) and giving promotion to employees as quickly as possible. After the meeting, efforts will be underway to promote the employees in July.
On the other hand, the employees’ associations are getting ready to stage a sit-in outside the Mantralaya
Most of the employees, belonging to the general category, will participate in the agitation. But a few leaders of the employees’ associations have kept away from the agitation.
The government has opened the door to promotion after nine years. If the employees organise a protest against the policy, the promotions employees were waiting for such a long time will stop again.
According to the president of the Mantralaya Officers and Employees’ Association, Sudhir Nayak, the promotion policy had harmed the general category together with the SC and the minority community employees.
According to Nayak, the employees are just staging a sit-in, but they will intensify the agitation in the coming days.
On the contrary, the leaders of the employees’ organisations said they would not take part in the agitation. He thinks the promotion should start. According to him, thousands of employees have retired without promotion, and this should not happen.
