STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The law relating to recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to the All India Services is contained in the All India Services Act, 1951 and the rules and regulations made thereunder. At present, there is a joint cadre of the All India Services for Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territories (AGMUT). The demand for a separate cadre in respect of Arunachal Pradesh is necessary in present dynamic structures of administration. Officers who spend a good amount of time in the State and understand it better in terms of administration are transferred to other location of AGMUT cadre probably never to return which creates gap in administrative understanding. When joint cadre was allotted to Arunachal Pradesh, it was a new State. But time has arrived now to consider a separate cadre for Arunachal Pradesh under All India Services which will only simplify administration and make governance more efficient and effective in the State of Arunachal Pradesh. Even smaller States like , and have their own separate cadre now but a larger State like Arunachal Pradesh does not have one. Thus, the Government should provide a separate cadre to the State of Arunachal Pradesh now. Section 35 of the State of Arunachal Pradesh Act, 1986 contains provisions relating to the All India Services. This section has to be amended in order to create a separate cadre for the State of Arunachal Pradesh from present AGMUT cadre in all three All India Services. Accordingly, it is proposed to amend the State of Arunachal Pradesh Act, 1986 relating to All India Services to give effect to the aforesaid proposal. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives. Hence this Bill.
