A Cup of Tea...

Abhisek Pattnaik, 
ASO (2019 Batch), Works Department
Enroute to Bhubaneswar this morning from my hometown Athgarh, I decided to stop by near a secluded shop near Mundali Bridge to simply watch the nature and live for that moment.
The Mahanadi river flew graciously with the fresh inputs of late October showers in the coastal districts. The cool breeze flowing in the valley; birds chirping around as if its their duty; fishermen busy with their boats in the middle of the river. The air with a hint of fog announcing the arrival of winter.
I smiled back at the shopkeeper and asked for a cup of tea. It was a small shop with few numbers of snacks n biscuits and in the varanda it had the setup for a tea stall. In these times of so called modern world, it was able to avert the force of change n must have been there for last 20 years with no major change in its aesthetics.
I took the cup of tea n went to the back of the shop to enjoy the view while sipping to the bland tea.
Three of young village chaps walked past me engrossed in their animatic conversation pushing each other making fun n laughing.
A small foot road passed right next to the shop to the bank of the river. I watched them keenly while seeping from my cup of tea. They had an air of invincibility, an air of no care for the world of routines or customs. They were so engrossed in their conversation that, they hardly noticed me.
At the Neem tree right next to the river bank, they all undressed to their briefs and jumped into the river making shrieking sounds. I thought of stopping for more and simply feel the cool breeze against my face for a few more minutes. 
But, my tea glass was empty by now n the office hours ticking.
I looked at the fast swimming chaps, n got lost in my childhood nostalgia, and just smiled.
Time to get back to the life of routines, life of cycles.

Canteen - The said paper clip described our office canteen as a reputed restaurant. But we would be happy , when there will be an article on the low standard meal without any subsidy. In addition, we have to stand in a queue waiting for our turn and have to adopt self service. 

Tea Stall- whereas 6000 employees in the campus of lokaseva bhavan, only three tea shops are there. Obviously, all Junior and seniors make gathering. So in such area we can not expect any thing. 

As we all have heard about the system of leaving one set of spectacles on office table while at home, mouthful bettle and spitting here and there, coming office after dropping children from/to school and many others. But whole scenario has been changed. System has been got improved a lot after joining of this new ASOs. 

Conclusion: As an awareness, Media can bring all to a common platform but not by defamation of any one. There are many issues in Secretariat. That weekly newspaper will be appreciated if attempts to reserve a special page for Secretariat news with title ସଚିବାଳୟ ସମାଚାର and bring all issues including Association, Cadre , problems in campus etc.

ASO to SO Promotion : Future of new ASOs

Most of the post of Desk officers are lying vacant after promotion of 147 (122+25) Desk Officers to Under Secretary in June and July this year. In OSS Cadre sanction strength of DO is 325.
Out of 302 DOs in the gradation list as on 01.01.2019, now only 120-130 are present and 200 posts vacant.  Out of 520 SOs in the Gradation list as on 01.01.2018, if aforementioned 200 posts get filled up, then only 320 will be there against 700 sanctioned post.
So after this promotion, we can assume the present position of SO to Addl. secretary will be 988 (SO - 320 + DO - 325+ US-251+DS-70+JS-22). 
But here we can only discuss about Section Officer post, as we ASOs are to be promoted to that rank in near future.
After analysing the 520 SOs in the Gradation list as on 01.01.2018, it is found the retirement of nearly 250 SOs by 2024. ( Yearwise breakup as below). Also by that year, rest SOs would have promoted to DO keeping all 700 posts vacant.
Retirement in the year
2018 - 10.       2026 - 27.       2034 - 16
2019 - 20.       2027 - 38.       2035 - 15
2020 - 19.       2028 - 44.        --------------
2021 - 39.       2029 - 33.       Total - 520
2022 - 43.       2030 - 26
2023 - 51.       2031 - 30
2024 - 44.       2032 - 11
2025 - 33.       2033 - 21
By 2024, our service (batch 2016) will complete 8 years by then. So at a time nearly 800 ASOs (out of 811+139 Recruited) will qualify for promotion to 700 Post of Section Officer.

But some obstacles may arise during our promotion as below.
1. Government may not confirm our promotion based on merit. ( As already to be notified). So who will get first promotion is not certain.
2. As an effect of Integration of HODs, the system of administration may have changed a lot.
3. If concept of 5T continues, then some problems may arise.
4. New Recruitment may not be there upto 2024 as we ASOs of three batches cover 1400 posts from 3 batches.
5. Cadre restructuring may be there within these years with  abolition of posts because today's Government has a great hope on ASOs and their talent.
6. Still now the gradation list of ASOs is not final. Because of ambiguity in position of ASOs joined through RA Scheme and Induction as well as in Special Drive, the list is under consideration.

Hence, we can have a hope of promotion only if no such obstacles come in our cadre. And to save our cadre upto 2024, we have to be united through Association otherwise we will be great sufferers whereas our seniors have already got their rights before their retirement. And although it's a bitter truth, ASOs joined this year should forget their promotion for next 10 years.
