The Housing and Urban Development [HB-1(2)] Department issued G.O.(Ms.)No.175 dated 27 September 2024, approving the allocation of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's 276 sanctioned Technical Assistant posts between the Civil and Electrical branches. It allocates 246 posts, or 89 per cent, to Civil and 30 posts, or 11 per cent, to Electrical, for updating the Tamil Nadu Housing Board Service Regulations, 1969.
What the government approved
The Housing and Urban Development [HB-1(2)] Department, through G.O.(Ms.)No.175 dated 27 September 2024, approves a branch allocation for the 276 sanctioned Technical Assistant posts in the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. The approved distribution is intended for updating the Tamil Nadu Housing Board Service Regulations, 1969.
The allocation is:
- Civil branch: 246 posts, representing 89 per cent of the sanctioned strength.
- Electrical branch: 30 posts, representing 11 per cent of the sanctioned strength.
- Total sanctioned strength: 276 Technical Assistant posts.
Why the allocation was made
The Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board reported that each division requires at least one Technical Assistant with an Electrical Engineering qualification. Based on that requirement, the proposal reserved 11 per cent of the total strength for the Electrical branch and the remaining 89 per cent for the Civil branch.
The Tamil Nadu Housing Board accepted this ratio through Resolution No. 7.03 dated 27 December 2023. The Government examined and approved the Board's resolution in G.O.(Ms.)No.175 dated 27 September 2024.
Who is affected
G.O.(Ms.)No.175 directly concerns the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's staffing structure for Technical Assistants. It may be relevant to:
- Tamil Nadu Housing Board employees holding or seeking Technical Assistant posts.
- Candidates with Civil Engineering or Electrical Engineering qualifications seeking appointment as Technical Assistants.
- Officials responsible for recruitment, staffing and maintenance of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board Service Regulations, 1969.
