2. As on date, no training module is available on line. It has been decided to develop e-training modules on subjects common to all Ministries / Departments with a view to enrich the existing training programmes conducted by ISTM. E-training modules will also help officers to access training material easily to acquire knowledge on such common subjects and prepare them in handling these subject matters. Further, these e-modules can also work as a primer to officers prior to attending class room sessions to make them understand the subject well and make the class room training more effective. It has, therefore been decided to invite applications from willing officers both serving and retired to prepare training material which will be converted into e-training modules.
3. The details of the proposal are given as under :
I. Purpose of the e-modules
(i) To give an overview of the subject matter.
(ii) Act as a primer or introductory course.
(iii) Gives the Govt. servant the basic knowledge of the subject matter and makes him capable of handling issues related tothe subject.
(iv) Makes him understand where to look for in case he requires in-depth knowledge of the matter.
II. What should it cover?
(i) Related constitutional/legal provisions
(ii) All major and important aspects
(iii) Important instructions on the subject
(iv) Important landmark cases decided by the apex court
(v) Illustrations and hands on tutorials to test understanding of the subject.
III. How should it be framed?
(i) In lucid and succinct language
(ii) At the end of each chapter questions to test the understanding of the subject
(iii) FAQs
(iv) Reference to important circulars issued by DoPT or other relevant Department
(v) At the end of the course, a detailed test covering the entire course.
IV. Size of the material  – The participant should be able to complete the module in seven days by devoting one hour daily.
V. Duration for developing the module – One month
VI. Fee and Consultation Fee – Rs.30,000/- per module will be paid to the officers (both serving/ retired) engaged for developing the module. The fee is payable only after acceptance of the module by DoPT.
VII. Subjects on which training modules are to be prepared
(i) Reservation in Service
(ii) Administrative Vigilance
(iii) Noting & Drafting
(iv) Pension & Other Retirement Benefits
(v) Purchase Management in Govt.
(vi) Records Management
(vii) Parliamentary Procedure
(viii) Conduct Rules
(ix) Handling of court cases – basic procedure, preparation of counter affidavit, WP. SLP, affidavit etc.
(x) Departmental Promotion Committees/ Promotion.
4. Applications are, therefore, invited from retired / serving Central Govt. officers not below the rank of Under Secretary to the Govt. of India and who have sufficient experience of handling the subject matter to design training material which will eventually be converted into e-training modules. Experience of developing training modules will be given due weightage in selecting the candidates in case of serving officers the application should be routed through proper channel.
5. The application is required to be submitted in the enclosed format latest by 15th June 2013.

Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Personnel and Training

North Block, New Delhi
Dated : 16th May, 2013.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Proper Monitoring of deputation by the lending departments.

Undersigned is directed to refer to this Departments OM of even number dated the 17″ June, 2010 and to say that as per existing instructions no extension in deputation beyond the fifth year is allowed. Further, as per the OM No. 14017/30/2006-Estt (RR) dated the 29th November, 2006, the deputationist officer is deemed to have been relieved on the date of expiry of the deputation period unless the competent authority has with requisite approvals, extended the period of deputation, in writing, prior to the date of its expiry. These instructions were reiterated vide the OM of even number dated the 1st March, 2011.

2. In 56th Report of the Action Taken Replies of the Government on the recommendations/observations contained in the 51 st Report on the Demands for Grants (2012-13) of Ministry’of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions by the Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committee has observed inter alia that policy on deputation envisages mobility of personnel between Departments etc so that the employee as well as the Departments benefit from the process. The tendency of treating deputation as a tool to ensure more comfortable, or even hometown postings is required to be discouraged. The instrument of deputation serves public interest only when there is a rational connection with the qualifications and work experience of the deputationist, and the deputation continues for a reasonable period. This would also ensure that both the lending as well as the borrowing department benefit from the experience / exposure of deputationist officer.

3. All the Ministries/Departments are therefore advised to ensure that deputations are strictly monitored by lending Government Departments. Requests of the borrowing authorities for no objection to extension of deputations should be closely scrutinized to curb tendency to allow extensions on extraneous grounds, and overstay.

4. These instructions are in addition to the previous OMs on the subject, and in no way dilute the responsibility of the deputationist and borrowing departments to ensure that the deputationists are relieved in time on completion of their approved tenures.

5. Hindi version will follow.
