Government constitute Task Force to reduce staff
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has constituted a five-member task force to rationalise central government staff and ensure their maximum optimisation.
The task force will be headed by Establishment Officer and Additional Secretary in Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) Rajiv Kumar and it will submit its report next month.” (Press Release by Government)
This is clearly a move to reduce the staff strength. Due to ban on recruitment, the staff strength in the Central Services has gone down drastically. Thousands of employees are retiring every month, but the recruitment is very less. The government is proposing to further reduce the number. The Central government employees’ organisations have to fight this attack on the workers.
