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.
