OSDs of ministers were changed

Raipur. Three ministers, including Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao, have replaced their OSDs and clerical staff from their personal establishments. New appointments have been made. According to an order issued by the State Administration of Education (SAE), Grade 2 clerk Digeshwar Rao Shinde, posted at High School Bharari Bilha, has been transferred from the School Education Department to Deputy Chief Minister Sao.

Similarly, Higher Education and Revenue Minister Tank Ram Verma has returned the services of his OSD, Deputy Collector Gautam Singh, to his parent department. Professor Dr. Sanjay Tiwari of Bilaspur PG College has been appointed as OSD in his place. Meanwhile, the services of Headmaster Munna Lal Dhruve, who was posted in the personal establishment of Agriculture Minister Ramvichar Netam, have been returned to Saruvat School, Wadrafnagar, under the School Education Department.

In his place, Santosh Ram, a Grade 3 Steno at Medical College, Raipur, has been appointed against a Grade 2 post. Santosh will receive the same Grade 3 salary. The State Administration of Education (SAE) has relaxed eligibility criteria for this appointment. It’s worth noting that earlier this month, School Education Minister Gajendra Yadav and Skill Development Minister Khushwant Guru also changed their staffs. Both were appointed ministers just two months ago.
