Early this year, the need was felt for the officers of the J&K Administrative Service to go for comprehensive training, working in different quarters of State Government and taking into consideration few bureaucrats were assigned the task.
The Government vide Order No.815 dated June 28, 2017 constituted committee and headed by Commissioner/Secretary to Government, Finance Department to prepare policy for the officers of Administrative Service. It was also specified that such a policy will be connected with the promotions of the J&K Administrative Service officers to different levels on the example of the approach in vogue in the Government of India for the officers of All India Service. It was asked to the committee to have threadbare insight regarding the matter and submit answer to the Government in two months-by August 28, 2017. Notwithstanding, till date just a single meeting of the advisory group has been gathered that too with no substantial outcomes the committee has yet not came to a conclusion in the matter of what ought to be the preparation module/educational programs and after how much span the preparation of Administrative Service officers ought to be directed.
All this was purposed as human resource management has witnessed a noteworthy change the nation over and Union Government and in addition a few States have been doing best on changing the common administrations to move to a vital human asset administration framework, which would transform the working assets of the person as a fundamental asset to be esteemed, roused, created and empowered to accomplish the mission and goals. Inside this transformational procedure, it is basic to coordinate people's abilities with the occupations they need to do and connect capability holes for present and future parts through preparing. Not just the Union Government and many States have created preparing approach for the officers of their separate common administrations sufficiently even concentrate is being laid on refreshing the preparation module after general interims.
To meet the required environment regular training of the officers is imperative to bridge the 'competency gaps' and help them to respond more efficiently and effectively to the needs of the citizens yet Jammu and Kashmir doesn't have comprehensive training policy for Administrative Service officers because of delay at all different levels.
However, in Jammu and Kashmir there is less focus on having comprehensive training policy for J&K Administrative Service officers and after clearance of State Civil Services exams and their initial training no focus is laid on further comprehensive training of J&K Administrative Service officers after regular intervals, which otherwise is imperative to bridge the 'competency gaps'.
