Happy Work Anniversary : 500 ASOs (2018-19 Batch) of Odisha Secretariat
Congratulations dear 500 ASOs of 2018-19 batch joined Odisha Secretariat Service last year on today's date i.e. 26th July, 2020. All were given Appointment Letters by Honble CM in a special function at Rabindra Mandatory, Bhubaneswar.
This batch is full of young, highly educated and more professional officers. So Government have more hopes on these officers for transformation in Administration and public service. After this one year journey, they are now well acquainted with Government Office decorum and procedures. By 2024, most of the senior officers of this cadre are going to retire from service on superannuation. Hence these new officers have to be involved more in office work which will be a great support to their next seniors joined in 2016. Within few years, we can change the traditional image on Secretariat employees relating their presence in office, public service and efficiency.
Again congratulations with a lots of hope and praying god for their progress.
