ANSWER
Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office. (DR. JITENDRA SINGH)
(a): As per the centralized information available in DOPT, the representation of various services at the Director/Deputy Secretary level under the Central Staffing Scheme of the Government of India is at Annexure I. It may be mentioned here that the Central Secretariat Service is not a participating service under the Central Staffing Scheme at the Director/Deputy Secretary level.
(b): Cadre restructuring of Central Secretariat Service in 2010 had fixed the combined strength of Joint Secretary (in-situ), Directors and Deputy Secretary of CSS at 600, with inter se flexibility subject to a ceiling of 40 posts for Joint Secretary (in-situ) and 220 posts at the Director level.
(c): The posts at Director/Deputy Secretary are filled through two streams, the Central Staffing Scheme and the Central Secretariat Service. Under the Central Staffing Scheme, by bringing in officers from various services, namely All India Services and the participating Group A Services, the Centre’s need for fresh inputs at senior levels in policy planning, formulation of policy and implementation of programmes, is fulfilled. The cadre posts of the Central Secretariat Service at this level are filled based on seniority/fitness. The officers of the Central Secretariat Service bring rich secretarial experience to such posts. The current system, therefore, provides a mix of fresh inputs and secretarial experience.
