Modus operendi of Common cadre restructuring

1. A structured questionnaire would be developed and circulated amongst all the cadre officers to elicit their opinion on various aspects relating to the administration and management of common cadre; The questionnaire would be accompanied by a brief write up giving the management perspective , a synopsis of the recommendations made by Mrs Valsala Kutty , consultant and the guidelines for reference while completing the responses to the questionnaire.
2. on the basis of analysis of the responses to the questionnaire, several rounds of discussions will be organized to the brainstorm and deliberate on various options, decisions and so on is small groups and large groups, with individual cadres as also as collective groups
3. following discussions, a draft paper would be compiled and circulated again to all concerned for their comments. Based on the responses received, there would be a round of discussions before finalizing the policy framework for management of the common cadre .

Management of Administrative Cadre and its interface with the Scientific Cadres in CSIR

CSIR had invited views from the Labs on "streamlining of Administrative Cadre in CSIR" because of following reasons

1. On many occasions the administrative cadre appears to be constrained to play a role of facilitator to R&D work being carried out in CSIR.
2. These cadres are perceived to be bogged down by their own inter-cadre problems among Administrative, Finance, Stores & Purchase and Stenographic cadres and perceived bottleneck of career progression in some of the cadres.
3. The spate of merger and demerger among the different cadres which has created an inconsistency with regard to seniority in different cadres which has not been settled satisfactorily.
4. The adequacy of administrative staff in different labs across the CSIR system and the basis of sanctioned staff strength across the administrative cadres in the CSIR is unexplained.
5. The system of transfer for Common Cadre Officers often results in disruption of smooth functioning in the labs and disturbance in personal and family life of these officers and
6. The system of assessment followed in CSIR with the component of interview for promotion has often resulted in complaints and court cases.

Based on the above reasons following queries had been sent to the Lab for reply:-

1. Number of administrative staff in different categories
   
2. Estimate of the labs for the requirement of staff
3. Status of assessment/promotion of different categories of staff and views of the lab on the system of assessment to be followed for the administrative cadres
4. Views of the lab on the merger and extent of merger of administrative cadres and isolated cadres
5. Transfer policy of Common cadre officers
6. How much freedom do the labs wants in appointment and retention of adminstrative staff and at what level
7. What kind of induction training and subsequent training do the labs suggest for staff of administrative cadre

Kindly comment
