* In its revised draft pattern, as many as 564 posts from Vidarbha region have been termed ‘excess’
By Kartik Lokhande
Uncertainty
stares in the face of several officials and employees working in
Government dairies and related establishments as Dairy Development
Department has revised its draft pattern and has decided to surrender as
many as 4,445 posts. From Vidarbha region alone, as many as 564 posts
have been termed ‘excess’.
This is the third time in past 11 years that the sanctioned number of
posts has been scaled down, said sources in the department. Prior to the
year 2003, Dairy Development Department had a sanctioned strength of
13,501 posts and 70 posts of Co-operation Department attached to it.
Following a review of requirement of staff after closure of some units,
handling of milk at Government Dairies and cooling centres, the
department had arrived at a conclusion in 2003 that 4,920 posts were
‘extra’.
Since then, in 2006, more 109 posts were termed as ‘excess’ citing the
reason that most of the milk transport from Government dairies was being
done through private vehicles. The private vehicles were roped in
citing the Bombay High Court decision that vehicles in use for over
eight years should not be in service any more. Recently, for the third
time in past 11 years, a review of sanctioned strength was taken by a
high-level committee on July 19, 2014. It was found that of a total
8,542 sanctioned posts, as many as 4,445 should be ‘surrendered’. The
revised draft pattern of the department has been approved accordingly.
The surrendered posts include 35 of Class-A, 68 of Class-B, 1,738 of
Class-C, and the highest 2,604 of Class-D. Sources said that the Class-D
employees are at the greatest loss as 2,604 of their posts have been
surrendered and only 1,676 have been kept as new sanctioned strength. Of
the total surrendered posts, those lying vacant for past some time,
have been treated as ‘lapsed’. The employees thus rendered ‘excess’ will
be absorbed on posts of same rank wherever else there is vacancy, but
only till the date of their retirement. On retirement of serving
personnel on surrendered positions, the posts will automatically get
abolished.
Of a total 4,445 posts surrendered by Dairy Development Department, as
many as 564 are from Vidarbha region alone. These posts in 23 places
ranging from Nagpur Dairy to Cooling Centre at Paratwada in Amravati
district have been rendered ‘excess’. Of these 564 also, the highest 281
posts surrendered are at Nagpur Dairy only. The Nagpur Dairy will lost
three posts of Class-A, seven of Class-B, 168 of Class-C, and 103 of
Class-D. It is followed by Government Dairy at Akola, where 116 posts
have been surrendered, including one of Class-A, two of Class-B, 54 of
Class-C, and 59 of Class-D.
Interestingly, after this scaling down, the new sanctioned strength for
32 different units in Vidarbha is only 560. Thus, more number of posts
have been surrendered in the region. After revision, the highest
sanctioned strength is at Government Dairy at Akola -- 83. It is
followed by Wardha Dairy with sanctioned strength of 67, Chandrapur
Dairy with 55, and Gondia Dairy with a strength of 52.
