Minister Patil implements counselling-based transfers in Skill Development Department, sets June 16 deadline for government employee transfers.
In a move to eliminate recommendation-based transfers, Minister for Medical Education and Skill Development Sharan Prakash Patil has announced that all general transfers in the Skill Development Department will henceforth be carried out through a counselling process.
During a departmental review meeting on Friday, Dr. Patil instructed Skill Development Department Secretary Ekroop Caur to draft comprehensive guidelines for the new system, with a particular focus on the Department of Employment and Training , which has one of the largest employee bases under the Ministry.
He reminded that the State government has set June 16 as the deadline for general transfers of government employees and officials.
Dr. Patil criticised senior officials in the department for failing to effectively implement government programmes. He directed the Secretary to issue show-cause notices and transfer the officials concerned without delay.
Dr. Patil directed institutions such as the Government Tool Room and Training Centre, Karnataka German Technical Training Institute, and departments under the National Livelihood Mission to enrol applicants from the Yuva Nidhi scheme and Udyoga Melas (job fairs) into short- and long-term skill development programmes.
In another meeting, Dr. Patil urged directors of medical colleges to comply with the National Medical Council guidelines and expedite the filling of assistant professor and senior resident posts.
He directed all government medical colleges to apply within a month for approval to launch BSc courses in allied health sciences, aiming to expand healthcare education in the State.
