Shillong, June 30: The Meghalaya Cabinet on Tuesday approved the rationalisation of the promotional hierarchy under the Meghalaya Civil Service Rules, 1975, by creating four new posts of Special Secretary to improve career progression for MCS officers, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said.
“The Cabinet has approved the rationalisation of the promotional hierarchy under the Meghalaya Civil Service Rules, 1975,” Sangma told reporters.
He said the move will create an additional avenue for promotion for Meghalaya Civil Service officers.
“To provide better career progression for Meghalaya Civil Service (MCS) officers, the Cabinet has approved the creation of four new posts of Special Secretary (Level 22 on the pay scale),” he said.
“This will open up an additional avenue for promotion for officers whose career progression is often limited beyond the Head of Department level,” the Chief Minister added.
Sangma said the decision fulfils a long-pending demand of the service association.
“The decision also addresses a long-standing demand of the MCS Association and reflects our commitment to recognising, supporting, and creating greater opportunities for our officers as they continue serving the people of Meghalaya,” he said.
