Revised charges and guidelines for hiring private vehicles in Government Offices

Many Departments not uploading letters in e-Despatch


Transfer of 15 OAS Officers

The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019

OSSA : No reaction after many......


Though, OSSA House is not functioning in its right direction, it's premises is now also silent. Gates closed, Office room closed, premises full of grass and weeds.

Government plans to bring transformation in its current administration by the followings.
1. 5T Charter
2. Composite Departments
3. Mo Sarkar (Govt. at doorstep of public)

Whereas, employees are unhappy with this Govt for so many reasons.
1. Deprived of getting HRA as per 7CPC
2. Not getting 60% arrears of 7CPC
3. Centralisation of Administration by integration of Directorates with Administrative Departments

In this crucial moment the reputed Association OSSA is idle. For which the whole OSS cadre is going to suffer a lot.
The newly joined 1450 ASOs of three batches (2016 to 2019) are doubtful about their future. Although they have 5E i.e. Education, Energy, enthusiasm, encouragement, eagerness to do everything for the betterment of this Govt. as well as the Cadre, but they are not getting the platform and a registered banner.
Hence, all are waiting for ACHHE DIN kab ayega.

Signature campaign for conduction of OSSA Election 2019

As the term of Odisha Secretariat Service Association (OSSA) has been completed, all members want a fresh election very soon. It is to mention here that the last election was held on 29th July, 2017. 

But the present executives have neither conducted General Council Meeting to take its permission for extension of the term nor have taken any steps to conduct fresh election. Hence to have legitimate executives to carry out the day to day transaction of the Association, members of OSSA are going to request the Principal Secretary to Government, Home Department for directing the present executives of OSSA for conducting fresh election very soon. 

A signature campaign is going on and many departments have already completed the process. After collection of signature from all departments, it will be submitted to Principal Secretary to Government, Home Department by Saturday.
