Demands

The Charter of Demands that the OASA long since strives for, are actually very basic to the IAS and other All India Services. The Odisha Administrative Service being not simply the premier provincial Civil Service, but a feeder Cadre also for the Indian Administrative Service, deserves fulfilment of the following demands –

  • Dynamic Assured Career Progression of OAS Officers to ensure time bound Promotion and Scale of Pay to bring a parity with other provincial civil services.
  • Post Specification with adequate infrastructure, considering individual importance and work burden has to be given due attention as an integral part of the restructuring.
  • Factor of Inter-changeability that has been approved by govt. has created administrative inconvenience, which needs to be done away with. We urge upon the Govt. to reconsider the matter with rationality.
  • The apparent disparity between the Provincial Civil Service Cadres of the other state vis-à-vis the OAS needs a fresh relook into the matter from the standpoint of Polices and Decisions. As such creation of 03 no. of posts of Commissioner-cum-Secretary to head the administrative Departments exclusively for the Officers of our cadre as done in case of the departments like Law, Culture & Works Departments is the need of the hour.
  • Posting of OAS officers as Collectors in 15 Districts.
  • For enforcement of theft of Minor Minerals Govt. to take steps to establish a Specific Institutions with adequate manpower, infrastructure and supportive legislation to make it more vibrant.
