The government of Bihar has taken a major administrative decision for the government employees and officers of the state. The General Administration Department (GAD) has issued an order banning general transfers in the state with immediate effect. Now officers or employees will not be transferred in any department under normal circumstances. This step of the government has been taken with the aim of bringing stability in the administrative system of the state.
Why was this big decision taken?
The government believes that frequent transfers have a direct impact on the pace of government work and development plans. It is often seen that large-scale transfers disrupt the continuity of administrative work. To overcome this problem, the government has taken this decision so that transparency and accountability can be increased in government work. It is believed that this decision will give employees an opportunity to work at one place for a longer time, so that they will be able to understand their work in a better way.
Will no one be transferred now?
Even though general transfers have been banned, the government has kept the door open for some special circumstances. If it is necessary to transfer any employee or officer due to urgent administrative need, public interest, order of any court or any special circumstances, then the decision on the same will be taken only after special permission of the competent authority. The General Administration Department has given clear instructions to all the department heads that this order should be strictly followed and the file should not be moved forward without any solid reason.
Another step towards good governance
For the last few months, large-scale transfers were going on in different departments, which has now come to a complete stop. Experts say that this initiative of Bihar government will further strengthen ‘good governance’. Now no employee will be transferred from here to there without proper procedure and valid reason. It remains to be seen what effect this decision has on the ground level and whether it really increases the efficiency of departmental work.
