GDS Online Engagement process, Schedule-I of the year 2024 feedback/suggestion-reg.
In the year 2023, the Department had run two regular schedules of GDS Online Engagement in the month of January, 2023 and July, 2023 respectively. In addition, a Special Cycle was also initiated in the month of May, 2023 for engagement of GDS in the BOs in the unbanked villages.
2. Apart from the two Schedules of GDS engagement, Department is also running four Cycles of GDS transfer every quarter. From November, 2022 onwards, the Department has already run four transfer cycles in the month of Nov, 2022, Mar-2023,June-2023, Sep-2023 & Dec-2023. From the Second Cycle
onwards, the provision for applying against the tentative vacancies (i.e., vacancy to arise on approval of the GDS applying for transfer) was also introduced. However, in the June, 2023 Cycle of online transfer, the competent authority had granted exemption from providing transfer against the tentative vacancies, so that the online engagement schedule to be initiated in July, 2023 did not get delay.
3. It is, however, noticed that simultaneous running of two cycles of GDS Engagement and four cycles of GDS Transfer is creating a lot of operational difficulties in the filed offices and many mistakes are being carried out in the Divisions/Sub Divisions, in the verification process. As a result of this, every now and then, Directorate/CEPT need to take corrective measures for rectifying the mistakes in online engagement so that the interest of the genuine candidates are not affected. CEPT has also raised their impediments in timely development of online solutions of the problems faced due to some regular kind of trivial mistakes on the part of the Divisions. As a result of this, the major development in portal, if any, is also getting affected.
