Preparations to remove lazy and useless government employees? Order issued to prepare list

On one hand, the central government employees are eagerly waiting for the increase in dearness allowance, on the other hand, a similar news has come to the fore. The central government has directed all the ministries to review the work of the employees from time to time. In the specific instruction, it has been said to review the performance of the employees so that careless and poorly performing employees can be removed from service before time.

The central government has now asked all ministries to send the list of non-working employees by the 15th of every month from July. In this regard, a circular letter has been sent by the DoPT on June 27 and according to it, under the public order in 2020, it has been said to review the performance of government employees from time to time.

The purpose of reviewing the work of the employees was to improve the efficiency of the employees, to do government work better and faster and to grow the economy. Here it is intended to say that these guidelines already exist, but many ministries and departments do not seem to be following them, so the ministries should ensure compliance with these guidelines. It is worth noting that at present there are more than 30 lakh employees in various departments of the central government. It is estimated that by March 2025, the government can reduce the number of employees by 50 thousand.
