G.O.Ms.No. 2, Sustainable Development Goals Co-ordination Centre at State Level, Diversion of Posts Cancelled
The Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SP) Department issued G.O.Ms.No. 2, dated 4 January 2021, cancelling the earlier diversion of 10 technical posts from the State Development Policy Council, formerly the State Planning Commission, to the Sustainable Development Goals Co-ordination Centre. The cancellation keeps Sustainable Development Goals work and the relevant posts with the State Development Policy Council and does not govern land ownership, revenue records or property transactions.
What the document does
G.O.Ms.No. 2 of the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SP) Department, dated 4 January 2021, cancels earlier orders that diverted posts from the State Development Policy Council to the Sustainable Development Goals Co-ordination Centre. The State Development Policy Council was formerly known as the State Planning Commission.
The earlier arrangement had formed the Sustainable Development Goals Co-ordination Centre for Tamil Nadu by diverting 10 technical posts, together with their entitlements, from the State Development Policy Council.
Why the diversion was cancelled
The Vice Chairman of the State Development Policy Council requested cancellation of the diversion. The stated reasons were that moving the posts would disrupt ongoing work and affect the work of the Council.
The government also noted that the State Planning Commission had been replaced by the State Development Policy Council. Responsibilities entrusted to the Council included:
- Goal setting.
- Monitoring.
- Evaluation and policy advocacy.
- Creation of policy coherence.
- Implementation of special programmes.
- Sustainable Development Goals work.
Because Sustainable Development Goals work formed part of the Council's responsibilities, the government cancelled the earlier diversion of posts to the Sustainable Development Goals Co-ordination Centre.
Earlier staffing decisions
G.O.Ms.No. 30 of the Planning and Development Department, dated 18 May 2020, had issued orders for posting officers and staff members of the State Development Policy Council to the Sustainable Development Goals Co-ordination Centre, except for the Senior Planning Officer post.
G.O.Ms.No. 124 of the Planning and Development Department, dated 17 September 2020, had already cancelled those posting orders. G.O.Ms.No. 2, dated 4 January 2021, separately cancels the underlying diversion of posts originally ordered through G.O.Ms.No. 28, dated 15 May 2020.
Who is affected
The cancellation directly concerns the State Development Policy Council, the Sustainable Development Goals Co-ordination Centre, and the government officers and staff connected with the diverted posts. The document is an internal government staffing and organisational decision. It contains no provision changing land classification, ownership, revenue records, planning permission or property rights.
