Reason for an organizational movement against the draft rule of integration of LSG Departmets in 2011

The invisible draft document of departmental integration


Discussion about departmental integration is going on among the employees of panchayat department. This discussion is mainly because of the conversion of panchayats into muncipalities which lead the possibility of losing 759 posts to panchayat department. During the discussion in the social media, some of the employees are expressed that the integration is essential. But in 2010,2011 most of the panchayat employees strongly opposed the integration because of several reasons. Main reason was, departmental integration prior to the staff pattern revision in the panchayat department would cause sharing of new posts in the panchayat department with other merging departments. Moreover, the draft circulated among the employees, contains several unfavorable instructions to the  panchayat employees. Draft proposed administrative and executive branch to make a division among the panchayat secretary and other employees.


Following departments/LBs included in the integration:-Panchayat, Corporation, Municipal service ,LSGD engg department and Rural Development.  The new department's name will be Local Self Government State service.It will make the centralization of power to LSGD dept.


Report propose a new post Cheif Commissioner. He/she will be the head of the dept. Panchayat director and rural development commissioner will abolish. Instead of that commissioners have the duty.

Govt. issued an order to start LSGD dept witheffect from 02/04/11 and gave direction to LSGD dept secretary to make special rules.


It was the campaign in rural department.

Exclusive Related to RD dept.Exclusive.LSGD Department integration .VEO will become ministerial staff. BDO will become block panchayat secretary.VEO become the ministerial staff of panchayath.VEO, the name will not change.Panchayat secretary become the implementing officer ; VEO is the only person to assist him and find out the eligibility as an enquiry officer.VEO will be the extension officer of the panchayat and he will become the charge officer of the kudumbasree.Five year completed graduate UDC and VEO grade 1 can write Panchayath secretary exam and become Secretary.Without that the regular promotion GEO ,EO will continue.But recent future the direct recruitment of VEO will stop.

Importance of Kallalan Vaidyar in the first Kerala Assembly

 Kallalan vaidyar MLA (1957) 

Website of Kerala Legislative Assembli describes very few lines of Kallalan vaidyar, member of first KLA. It is as follows:

Member, 1st KLA [Nileshwar -CPI]. Born in 1895; Reputed Visha Vaidyan and active worker of Kissan Movement in North Malabar. Other Positions Held and details:Member, Madikkai Panchayat; Served in South Canara District Board; Active worker of the Communist Party and the Karshaka Sanghom.

Expired in 1971.

The communist ministry was formed with a single margin in 1957, thus the importance of Kallalan vaidyar arises for existence of the historical ministry. He was under tremendous pressure from various sides, expected an attack at any time. Natives of madikai village, protected him, the video says about the event and his importance. Another importance is that he came from a scheduled tribes community to the LA, but still Kerala is far a apart to recognize who was Kallalan vaidyar, well known as a traditional village doctor.
