CADRE REVIEW
Cadre review is an important aspect of cadre
management. It ensures a healthy balance between the functional
requirements of an organisation and legitimate career aspirations of its
officers. The thrust of such an exercise is on scientific manpower
projection and recruitment planning in order to rationalise the cadre
structure as also to enhance efficiency, morale and effectiveness of the
service/cadre. In terms of the extant guidelines, ideal periodicity of
cadre review is once ever y five years .
The Department of Personnel and Training, being the
nodal Department for cadre review of all Group ‘A’ Central
Services/Cadres, has issued various guidelines to facilitate the
process. Cadre Review as a subject has been allocated to the Cadre
Review Division, which also acts as the Secretariat for Cadre Review
Committee constituted to review individual service/cadre. The cadre
review proposals are scrutinised in this Division keeping in view the
broad factors like functional requirements, stagnation at various
levels, financial implications, measures for saving, organisational
proficiency, etc . The proposals are then referred to the Department of
Expenditure for financial concurrence and placed before the Cadre Review
Committee for its approval. The Division also renders advice to the
Cadre Controlling Authorities for better cadre management.
The
status of Group ‘A’ Services is reviewed regularly. After first such
review this year in April, all the concerned Departments were advised by
the Cabinet Secretary to formulate appropriate cadre review proposals.
Further, Para 1(ix) of the Government of India, Department of
Expenditure Resolution No.1/1/2008-IC dated 29 August, 2008, whereby
its decisions on the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission have
been conveyed enjoins upon all the Cadre Controlling Authorities to
review the services/cadres under the administrative control within a
year. The Cadre Controlling Authorities have been reminded again October
2008.
There are 58 Central Group ‘A’
Services, out of which 44 services are due for cadre review this year,
i.e., 2008. The cadre review proposals of five of the remaining forty
four Group ‘A’ Services are already under active consideration. These

The Cadre Review Division also
compiles and analyses statistical information of all the Central Group
‘A’ Services. The inconsistencies, if noted during the analysis, are
brought to the notice of the concerned Cadre Controlling Authority. This
exercise is undertaken on half yearly basis in January and July every
year. The data as on 1st January, 2008 has already been compiled and
analysed. The detailed report in this regard is also posted on this
Department’s website. However, it has been decided that the next
analysis would be done only after completion of cadre review of all the
services envisaged in the Government’s Resolution mentioned above.

Layman's Language 10 commandments Layman's Language 10 commandments
Like the Ten Commandments, follow in life all the time.
1. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.
2. So a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small? Because, our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and Move on. Concentrate and focus ahead always.
3. Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write
4. All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If it’s going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.
5. Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!
6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!"
7. When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.
8. A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"
9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.
10. WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.
