Shimla, July 29: Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi today met a delegation of Joint Village Revenue Officer (Patwari & Kanungo) Association and discussed their concerns about conversion of their posts into State Cadre. Minister Negi assured the association that this change, aimed at maintaining uniformity, will not affect their seniority, promotion or other benefits.
Minister Negi clarified that the decision to convert the district cadre of Patwaris and Kanungos into state cadre was taken to ensure uniformity without changing the existing recruitment and promotion rules. He emphasized that Patwaris and Kanungos will still get opportunities for promotion to higher posts like Naib Tehsildar and Tehsildar. Additionally, this conversion will enable Patwaris and Kanungos posted in other districts to serve in their home districts, thereby improving their work-life balance.
Negi said, “The decision to convert the district cadre of Patwaris and Kanungos into state cadre has been taken in public interest.” He said the government has received several representations from the people of the state, and the decision is focused on the welfare of the general public.
Negi highlighted that most government services now come under the State cadre, and the recent strike of Kanungos and Patwaris caused a lot of inconvenience to the public, with many revenue-related matters getting delayed. He reiterated the Government’s commitment to resolve the issues immediately to avoid further inconvenience to the people.
Apart from addressing the cadre change, Minister Negi underscored the Government’s commitment to the rights and development of State employees. He cited the restoration of the old pension scheme as an example of the Government’s efforts to provide dignified retirement life and social security to employees.
Minister Negi assured the delegation that their genuine demands, including salary-related issues, would be considered on priority basis. He emphasized the Government’s commitment to strike a balance between public welfare and the rights of State employees.
