State Secretary
Friends,
Best wishes.
I am happy to convey you all that the G.O. 354 is being implemented in DMS and DME side with utmost sincerity and efforts. From director to all the subordinate officers all are trying their best to speed up the process. Honourable HM and HS have given a very strict direction to the directors in speedy implementation of the G.O.
They are equally interested as we are, in the implementation of the order.
All our members are very eagerly waiting to see the fitment. Many of our members and even office bearers feel the delay is undue. But friends, as a person who is closely following the proceedings, the delay is inevitable. Inspite of the best efforts by the second line staff and officers, the exercise is the toughest, happening in Tamilnadu Medical Service.
Though the G.O was issued in late October, due to the district and state elections in TNGDA, further steps in implementation got stalled. Only from January the process is re-activated and it is followed every day.
In DMS Unit, services of 3 retired Administrative Officers are availed exclusively for the process of doing the fitment. Thanks to the Principal Secretary; all clarifications, delegation of powers sought by the DMRHS to implement the G.O. was issued on the request of TNGDA on 28.1.2010. The fitment process was started. All the existing SCS (except those with DP) were fitted as CCS. Promotion orders issued on 23.2.2010. This is the first promotion orders issued based on 354 benefiting 355 senior colleagues.
Next will be fitment of 40 CSS (Specialists) as CCS (Specialists) in the same place. (by March first week)
Next – transfer counseling for all CCS (by March first week)
Promotion of existing CS to the posts of CCS (balance about 800 CCS) in both speciality and general category. (by March 15 week)
(in this vacant CCS posts, except the posts identified as SCS or CSS (specialists) by the 1998 684 G.O. all other posts will NOT be duty-free. But the eligible persons can be fitted in the same place they work)
- Promotion of existing SAS to the posts of CCS (balance if available) in both speciality and general category. (by March 21st )
- Promotion of existing AS to the posts of CCS (balance if available) in both speciality and general category (by March 31st)
- Promotion of existing SAS / AS to the posts of SCS in both speciality and general category (by March 31st)
- Promotion of existing SAS / AS to the posts of CS in both speciality and general category (by April 10th )
- Promotion of existing AS to the posts of SAS in both speciality and general category (by April 15th )
- Giving POP @ 20 years as on 23.10.2009 by April 30th
All the first 7 steps can be carried out with CML 2005. For the last step, we need CML 2009. Side by side CML 2009 is updated. Thanks to Dr Sivasankar, TNGDA Tiruvallur district for his hard work and Dr Ponnuraj, State vice president for his effective coordination. (TNGDA has sponsored other support also)
Friends, we expect smooth progress. But once implemented it will benefit about 75% of DMS unit doctors.
In DME side,
- Thanks to DME and DDME for drafting a team of doctors from Chennai to update the data, teaching experience, total service etc – in two months. But still a long way to go.
The existing Professors as on 23.10.2009 will be issued up-gradation/ promotion orders by 28.2.2010.
Next step is getting an order from govt. as in DMS side, to delegate powers and issue clarification on a number of issues raised by the DME. TNGDA is at it. Hope to get the necessary orders by 10th March 2010, who did good work.
- Fitment of all the existing Associate Professors to Professors/ Asso. Professors based on their teaching experience. (By 31st March 2010)
- Fitment of all AP as Professor grade AP by 15th April
- Associate Prof grade AP / Senior grade AP.(by April 30th)
- Tutors @ 15/ 20 year POP – by May 15th
- All other POP by May 30th
Transfer / Promotion counseling of Associate/ Professor/ Unit Chiefs by June first week.
It is essential that we seek some retired Administrative Officers for completing the process (as in DMS side) to complete the process as said above.
In DME side the process will be slower as the teaching experience verification is an additional work.
But friends, ALL THIS PROCESS IS FITMENT DONE AS ON 23.10.2009. THE SAME HAS TO BE REPEATED FOR THIS YEAR ie 2010 as on 15th March.
This may take another 4 months.
So, the entire process will be over by the end of this year.
It may sound too long, but all these years giving promotions for about 500 doctors every year (both DME/ DMS put together) took at-least 6 months to 1 year. (With SAS/CS panel taking more than a year) and just one promotion in DME for about 150 posts took 9 months to a year.
Now 1 more cadre in DMS and 2 more cadres in DME, the burden are very high.
With all your support, we hope to do all this very effectively.
All beneficiaries – it is time to reciprocate. Please voluntarily contribute for “TNGDA BUILDING FUND”.
Yours truly,
Dr K.Senthil
