Happy Work Anniversary : Eight years service in OSS Cadre

Now it's completion of EIGHT years in service (2016-2024). So first of all, Congratulations to all OSS friends of RR-2011 batch on their 8th Work Anniversary. Within these eight years, lots of happenings are there. Many of us has left this service to join other jobs with high salary and better rank like OAS, OPS, OFS, ORS etc. Out of 811 ASOs recruited, 657 officers of RR-2011 are now working in different departments. Luckily, near about 99% of them (652) have been promoted to the rank of Section Officer during 2021.
In present scenario, 68 Desk Officers are now working against sanction strength 333 and they are going to be promoted to Under Secretary probably during the current month. Hence this batch has a great opportunity for 333 Section Officers of this batch for their promotion to the rank of Desk Officer in the beginning of 2025.

All the best.

Congratulations once again.

One time relaxation for promotion of Desk Officers

As per Odisha Secretariat Service (Method of recruitment and conditions of service) Rules, 2016 the minimum period of continuous service both in post of Section Officer and Desk Officer should be six years for promotion to the rank of Under Secretary. Although there is good number of vacancies in the post of Under Secretary (i.e.104 posts), but only 68 Desk Officers are there in the cadre, hence proposal of Government for relaxation of residency period from six years to three years has been concurred by OPSC.

In the meantime Final gradation List of Desk Officers has been published. Hence, it is hoped that DPC meeting may be arranged this month for promotion of all existing Desk Officers to the rank of Under Secretary.
