PROMOTION OF OFFICERS - ON CADRE RESTRUCTURING

Dear Comrades,

It is a matter of great joy and pleasure to inform that 244 officers of our fraternity have got promoted to the grade of Superintendents. For some of these officers, it is their first promotion and this will be all the more sweeter for them. Many of our leaders have also been promoted and notably Com.Jayaseelan, President, Com.Bhaskar, Treasurer, Com.Shashi Dhar, Jt. Secretary, Mysore are amongst the officers who have been promoted. The Association congratulates each and every member officer of this cadre on their promotion and wishes them a bright and successful career ahead. We also thank them for their efforts and contribution towards the welfare of the cadre and Association.
Karnataka Zone is better placed in terms of promotion, as despite all the eligible officers being promoted we still have large number of vacancies which remain unfilled for want of eligible candidates, while same is not the case in some other parts of the Country. By this exercise, the stagnation in our zone has completely been eliminated, which is not the case in many other zones. 

This has also led to a situation where there will be about 57% of posts (Revised strength) remaining vacant, bringing in more burden on the shoulders of existing officers. It may take at least another couple of years to get these vacancies filled to a reasonable level. This will bring in a large number of problems which we should be ready to face and this is where we are required to stand united.

The Committee on Human Resources & Staffing is scheduled to meet today to discuss the emerging situation and suggest ways and means to go forward for implementation of Cadre Review. The Association would strive hard to put forward its views and ensure that all the members are put to minimum inconvenience during the entire exercise. Post implementation of the CR, we shall hold the elections for electing a new body at the local level.

Thanking you,

Fraternally Yours,
AICEIA
