GoM formed to make recommendations on job promotions
Vijayawada: The state govt has constituted a Group of Ministers (GoM) to make recommendations on reservations in promotions for govt employees. The GoM includes social welfare minister Dr Dola Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy, tribal welfare minister Gummadi Sandhya Rani, civil supplies minister Nadendla Manohar, revenue minister Anagani Satya Prasad, and health minister Satya Kumar Yadav. The social welfare secretary will serve as the convenor. Special invitees include the special chief secretary (Services, HRM), the chief commissioner of land administration (CCLA), the principal secretary (GAD), and the law secretary. The GoM has the authority to summon additional officials as required. Previously, the govt had formed a high-level committee led by the CCLA to study the matter. However, acknowledging the complex social implications of reservation in promotions — such as its impact on equity, representation, and service — the govt opted for a more holistic approach through the GoM. It aims to review existing advisory committee reports and officer panel recommendations. Chief secretary Vijayanand stated that the Supreme Court's M Nagaraj and Jarnail Singh judgments, along with an Andhra Pradesh High Court order in W.P. No. 4415/2016 and related cases, provided key guidelines for implementing reservations in promotions for SCs and STs. These include applying the rule of reservation and the principle of consequential seniority under constitutional provisions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo "The GoM will look into the applicability of the Rule of Reservation in promotions as per the existing guidelines, constitutional provisions and verdicts of Supreme Court and the erstwhile high court of judicature at Hyderabad for Telangana and the Andhra Pradesh directions in the matter for recommending appropriate course of action for implementing the directions of the Supreme Court and High Court in a legally sustainable and socially sensitive manner," said chief secretary.
