What the document does
Government Order G.O.Ms.No.37, issued by the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (ST.3) Department on 8 May 2014, changes how service in Chennai District is treated for promotion within the Department of Economics and Statistics. Service rendered as an Assistant Statistical Investigator in Chennai District is to count as field service for promotion to Statistical Inspector.
Background
The Special Rules for the Tamil Nadu General Subordinate Service had specified five years of service as an Assistant Statistical Investigator, including three years of field service in districts other than Chennai District. Chennai District had been excluded because agricultural schemes, which account for much of the data collected by the Department of Economics and Statistics, were not implemented there.
The Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Economics and Statistics asked the Government to recognise Chennai service because Assistant Statistical Investigators there collect other important social and economic data. Their work includes data collection under the Prices and National Sample Survey Schemes. The department stated that these methods have distinct features and challenges and are comparable in importance to agricultural schemes.
Key provisions
- Service as an Assistant Statistical Investigator in Chennai District is included as field service.
- The recognised Chennai field service may be used for promotion to Statistical Inspector.
- The Government accepted the proposal submitted by the Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Economics and Statistics.
- A separate amendment to the Special Rules was to be issued later.
