1 2 3 Vijayawada: In view of the ongoing process to restructure the village/ward secretariats, the state govt has decided to exempt the employees of ward/village secretariats from the transfers' schedule. The govt has decided to issue a separate GO to allow the transfers of secretariat employees after the completion of the rationalisation of the staffers at the field level. Minister for village and ward secretariats and social welfare, Dr Balaveeranjaneya Swamy, has assured that no employee working in village and ward secretariats will be removed even after the reforms were implemented. "We have taken up the restructuring of the ward/village secretariats in order to extend public services more effectively. In fact, we wanted to reduce the workload on the staffers with the rationalization," said Swamy. He said that chief minister Chandrababu Naidu wanted that all the public services should be delivered in real-time and hence the staffers at village/ward secretariats should gear up themselves to the vision of the chief minister.

Additionally, a cluster system will be followed for the effective implementation of the govt schemes. A study carried out by the govt found that some secretariats have up to 10 staff members, others are operating with only three or four. This resulted in uneven workload—high pressure in some places and insufficient work in others. To address these issues, the govt initiated measures to ensure all staff are fully engaged, thereby enabling better and timely services to the public in real-time. The state govt had also decided to introduce a three-tier system to synchronise the village/ward secretariats with mandal and ZP administration. "We have decided to establish planning boards at the district, mandal, and assembly constituency levels. A senior district official will head the district level planning team, while MPDO will lead the mandal team. Similarly, a senior officer will head the team at constituency level. A designated team will be appointed to continuously monitor the performance of village and ward secretariats," said Dr Swamy. The state govt has decided to exempt employees of village and ward secretariats from the current transfer schedule as part of an ongoing restructuring process. A separate Government Order (GO) will be issued to facilitate transfers of secretariat employees after the rationalization of staff at the field level is completed. Minister for Village and Ward Secretariats and Social Welfare, Dr. Balaveeranjaneya Swamy, assured that no employee working in village and ward secretariats will be removed, even after the reforms are implemented. The restructuring aims to enhance the delivery of public services by optimizing the workload of staff members. The govt has categorized village and ward secretariats into three groups based on population: those with a population of up to 2,500 will have six staff members, those with a population between 2,500 and 3,000 will have seven, and those with a population above 3,000 will have eight. A cluster system will be implemented to ensure effective execution of govt schemes. The decision to restructure comes after a govt study revealed significant disparities in staffing levels across secretariats, resulting in uneven workloads. By ensuring all staff members are fully engaged, the govt aims to provide better and more timely services to the public. Furthermore, the govt plans to introduce a three-tier system to synchronize village and ward secretariats with mandal and Zilla Parishad (ZP) administration. Planning boards will be established at the district, mandal, and assembly constituency levels, each headed by senior officials. A dedicated team will be appointed to continuously monitor the performance of village and ward secretariats. The minister emphasized that the chief minister, Chandrababu Naidu, wants all public services to be delivered in real-time, and staff members at village and ward secretariats need to adapt to this vision.
