Channel of correspondence- Unless specifically allowed otherwise or save under conditions of emergency all official correspondence should be addressed, normally, to the immediate superior authority, i.e. from individual workers to the Camp/Section Officer, Camp/Section Officer to the Officer-in-Charge of the Wing (Executive Officer), Executive Officer to the Director (Administrative Officer) the Administrative Officer to the Addl. Surveyor General, then in turn to Surveyor General. In special circumstances or in cases of appeals where it is intended to represent any matter to the higher authority, it should invariably be done through the channel explained above. Sending advance copies of communications, even though marked ―Through Proper Channel‖, direct to the higher authorities may be permitted only when all efforts at lower level are exhausted. Except under conditions specified below, Executive Officers are prohibited from corresponding officially with a Director other than the one under whose administrative control they are or with the Officers-in-Charge of wings and offices and their subordinates under a different administrative control except through their own Director, Executive Officers, may, however, forward direct to D. Survey (Air), as the case may be, for production of drawing blue prints, and may, in emergency, indent direct on D. M.A.D. for maps and D.G. & R.B. for data, etc. On purely routine matters, such as forwarding transfer documents, acknowledgements of correspondence, etc., or in case of emergency on any subject, they may communicate direct, officially with Executive Officers of other GDCs, but in all such cases they must inform their own Director of the action taken or endorse copies of correspondence to him. Gazetted officers may correspond direct, at their own expense, on matters relating to their G.P. Fund and pay-slips with Income Tax Officer on the matters of income tax and with Sales Tax Officer for professional tax but such correspondence in respect of all officers, or on all other matters relating to leave, accounts, allowances, pension, etc,. will be conducted through the Executive and Administrative Officers. Executive Officers may correspond direct with RP & AO/CP & AO or officers from whom their funds are drawn. Executive Officers may also correspond direct with district and local officials in connection with their work but they are forbidden to communicate direct with Ministries and other departments of the Government of India or with State Governments without previous reference to their Administrative Officers. In exceptional circumstances where direct correspondence become unavoidably necessary, owing to the previous reference from any of the above authorities or other equally emergent cause, copies of such correspondence must, invariably be forwarded without delay to the Administrative Officer. Copies of letters written to or received from the Ministries of the Government of India must be forwarded to the Surveyor General also. 5. Duties of an Officer-in-Charge.—The Executive Officer-in-Charge of a Survey wing is entirely responsible for: (i) The organisation and discipline of the wing. (ii) The custody, maintenance and accurate accounting of government stores under his charge. (iii) The economical expenditure of funds placed at his disposal and the accurate and punctual accounting for such expenditure, (iv) The proper training of all his officers and men in their duties and in the method of survey best suited to the work. (v) The preparation of true reports on the qualifications of all his officers and staff. (vi) Ensuring accuracy of the survey carried out by his officers and staff ; this covers GPS, Survey, Theodolite traverse, leveling, plane-tabling, air survey, digitisation etc., and other survey operations. (vii) The proper digitization of the surveyed fair maps/field records drawn in the wing. (viii) The punctual submission of returns, in accordance with the prescribed list and required by higher formations. (ix) The welfare of the personnel of the wing. The Officer-in-Charge of a wing should depute a responsible officer for immediate charge of a section of the work, but should keep himself abreast with all developments, and personally examine and test the work at all stages. Particular efforts should be made to keep up to the mark all personnel who are qualified for independent exploration surveys, i.e., those who possess a sound knowledge of GPS Survey, plane-tabling and photo verification, etc., on small scales of survey, or who are considered likely to become good explorers after due instructions, and every opportunity should be taken to improve their knowledge on all subjects connected with surveying of difficult areas both in the field and during recess. During the field season he should spend the greater part of his time visiting his men at work. He should endeavor to inspect the work of every man at least once during the field season, and should impress a high standard of accuracy on all his officers and other personnel by personal demonstration on the ground. He should see that all his officers have sound knowledge of departmental rules, and keep their handbooks up-to-date. During recess he should inspect his computing and mapping sections at frequent intervals, and he should make a rigorous scrutiny at definite stages. If the Officer-in-Charge is perfunctory in his examination of field work and mapping, the standard of accuracy is certain to deteriorate and he will neither get a true idea of the work of his supervising officers, nor be in a proper position to recommend the promotion of his Group ‗C‘ personnel from personal knowledge of their qualifications. 5. Duties of Camp Officers.-A Camp Officer is responsible for the work entrusted to him. An Officer should not normally be placed in charge of camps until he has done independent field works at least for one and two field seasons respectively.

  • Constitutional Development in India
    1 Department – Political Science and Human Rights Semester- B.A. 2nd Semester Paper- Indian Government and Politics Note- I do not claim the material provided hereunder as my intellectual property as this is the collection from the writings of different scholars uploaded on websites. I have just collected, edited and arranged articles in one file according to syllabus for the purpose of enriching the students for preparation of their exams during the lockdown period. Students can also use various online sources for better understanding. I expressed my heartfelt thanks to all the authors whose writings have been incorporated in preparing this material. Constitutional Development in India Constitution is the basic principles and laws of a nation, state, or social group that determine the powers and duties of the government and guarantee certain rights to the people in it. It is a written instrument embodying the rules of a political or social organization. It is a method in which a state or society is organized and sovereign power is distributed. A constitution is a set of fundamental principles according to which a state is constituted or governed. The Constitution specifies the basic allocation of power in a State and decides who gets to decide what the laws will be. The Constitution first defines how a Parliament will be organized and empowers the Parliament to decide the laws and policies. The Constitution sets some limitations on the Government as to what extent a Government can impose rules and policies on its citizen. These limits are fundamental in the sense that the Government may never trespass them.

The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment on 19th November 2015 notified the decision of Government of India to celebrate the 26th day of November every year as ‘Constitution Day’ to promote Constitution values among citizens. The Constitution of India was framed by a Constituent Assembly set up under the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946. The Assembly held its first meeting on December 9, 1946, and elected Dr. Sachhidanand Sinha, the oldest member of the Assembly as the Provisional President. On December 11, 1946, the Assembly elected Dr Rajendra Prasad as its permanent Chairman. The Constituent Assembly set up 13 committees for framing the constitution including a Drafting Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. On the basis of the reports of these committees, a draft of the Constitution was prepared by a seven-member Drafting Committee. It is the longest written Constitution in the world containing 395 Articles, 22 Parts and 12 Schedules.

  • Surviving in the Sundarbans: Threats and Responses
    SURVIVING IN THE SUNDARBANS: THREATS AND RESPONSES focuses on the conduct of different groups and various agencies, and attempts to understand this conduct in the context of deteriorating ecosystem integrity, and heightened vulnerability of human society, where natural processes are averse to human presence, and where the development process is weak. The study explores the socio-political and physical complexities within which sustainable development strategies need to be developed. The emphasis is not so much on how to develop these strategies but on understanding the contrasting forces, competing interests, and contradictions in operation. DANDA In this study the concept of collective or self-organised action is used as an analytical tool to help unravel the complex interactions that take place at different levels and to shed light on conditions associated with better management of the various contradictions at play in the eco-region. Surviving in the Sundarbans: It is argued that the unique eco-region of the Sundarbans requires special policy measures to address ecological sustainability and distributional equity, to overcome the ills that undermine human well-being, and to ensure that Threats and Responses people of this eco-region have the choices to live the way they like and value what they have reason to value.

    Traditional Fishers in the Sundarban Tiger Reserve A study on livelihood practice under protected area Study supported by International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) Society for Direct Initiative for Social and Health Action DISHA 20/4, Sil Lane. Kolkata – 700 015 Phone: 91-33-2329 7662, FAX: 91-33-23283989, e-mail: [email protected] 2009 This study is dedicated to the small fishers who are struggling for their fishing rights and upkeep of the fish stock in the difficult waters of STR. We are shocked at the untimely and unfortunate death of Sri Shekhar Mondal, a fisher and a respondent of the survey undertaken for the present study. Shekhar was returning from a fishing sortie in the waters of Sundarban Tiger Reserve in the morning of 22nd December 2008 when dense fog made navigation almost impossible and his boat got stuck in the shallows. He and other crews of the boat tried to push back the boat into deeper waters getting down in the shallow. It was then that the tiger suddenly emerging from the dense fog pounced on Shekhar and took him away in a whiz. His remains, if any, are yet to be located or recovered.

  • Framing the Constitution 405
    FRAMING THE CONSTITUTION 405 Framing the Constitution THEME The Beginning of a New Eraaa FIFTEEN The Indian Constitution, which came into effect on 26 January 1950, has the dubious distinction of being the longest in the world. But its length and complexity are perhaps understandable when one considers the country’s size and diversity. At Independence, India was not merely large and diverse, but also deeply divided. A Constitution designed to keep the country together, and to take it forward, had necessarily to be an elaborate, carefully-worked-out, and painstakingly drafted document. For one thing, it sought to heal wounds of the past and the present, to make Indians of different classes, castes and communities come together in a shared political experiment. For another, it sought to nurture democratic institutions in what had long been a culture of hierarchy and deference. The Constitution of India was framed between December 1946 and November 1949. During this time its drafts were discussed clause by clause in the Constituent Assembly of India. In all, the Assembly Fig. 15.1 The Constitution was signed in December 1949 after three years of debate. 2021–22 406 THEMES IN INDIAN HISTORY – PART III held eleven sessions, with sittings spread over 165 days. In between the sessions, the work of revising and refining the drafts was carried out by various committees and sub-committees. From your political science textbooks you know what the Constitution of India is, and you have seen how it has worked over the decades since Independence. This chapter will introduce you to the history that lies behind the Constitution, and the intense debates that were part of its making.

  • Concurrent List
    A Background Paper* on CONCURRENT POWERS OF LEGISLATION UNDER LIST III OF THE CONSTITUTION *This Paper was prepared for the Commission by Shri P.M. Bakshi. (iii) CONCURRENT POWERS OF LEGISLATION UNDER LIST III OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION CONTENTS PAGE NO. 1 Introduction 1249 2 Distribution of legislative powers 1249 under the constitution 3 Interpretation of the legislative entries 1252 4 Rationale of the scheme of distribution 1253 5 Post-constitution amendments 1255 (including a chart) 1. INTRODUCTION : 1.1 Scope of the Study This study deals with an important aspect of Indian federalism, namely, the concurrent powers of legislation under the Constitution. The subject of federalism in any country covers a vast area, embracing legislative, executive and judicial powers, as distributed between the federal union and its units. Distribution of legislative power is only one branch of the subject; and in that branch, the topic of concurrent legislative power is only a sub-branch (so to say). 1.2 Importance of the subject (a) Nevertheless, the subject has its own theoretical and practical importance. Theoretically, the subject carries an appeal, because (i) it represents the vesting of power in two parallel legislatures, operating at the same time and (ii) also because such a scheme is to be found in most federations of the world, though the details vary. (b) The practical importance of the Concurrent list, (when adopted in any federation) lies in the fact, that the vesting of the same type of power in two parallel agencies carries, within it, the seeds of a possible conflict. This implies, that the Constitution (of the country concerned) should provide, in advance, a mechanism for resolving such conflict.
