Government of India

Ministry of Environment & Forests

 

Paryavaran Bhavan, CGO Complex

Lodhi Road, New Delhi -110003.

 

Dated, the 24^th october, 2008

 

To

 

                   The Chief Secretaries/Administrators,

                   All the State Governments/UTs.

 

Subject :     Nominations of Indian Forest Service Officers for appointment on  tenure deputation basis in Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) – regarding.

 

Sir,

 

The Ministry of Environment and Forests would draw up a panel of best officers available in the State for appointment against the following posts in the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA), reckoned as the Central Deputation Reserve of the Indian Forest Service :

 

         

S.No.	Name of the post	No. of posts	Eligibility
1.	CEO, CAMPA	One	IGF/CCF level and above
2.	Joint CEO, CAMPA	One	Conservator of Forests
3.	Deputy CEO, CAMPA	Two	Deputy Conservator of Forests

 

2.       The State Government is requested to forward the nominations of the best willing available IFS officers whose services can be spared for deputation with the Government of India.  However,  final selection of the officers will be subject to the Central Vigilance Clearance. 

 

3.       The Officers who have completed one spell of central deputation may be considered for  a  further  spell  of  central  deputation  only  after  they  have  completed  the  stipulated cooling off period.   It is clarified that the cooling off period is reckoned from the date the officer reports back to his/her cadre on completion of earlier deputation tenure.

 

4.       Although in terms of Indian Forest Service (Cadre) Rules, 1966 and other Service conditions governing the Indian Forest Service officers, consent of IFS officers is neither necessary for nomination/appointment against Central Deputation Reserve posts, nor for their   placement   anywhere   in   the   country,   many   a   times,   nomination   of   unwilling personnel would be a bottle neck  to  the  efficient  management  of  the  service.   It  is  also noticed in this context that some of the State Cadre authorities do not consult /inform the officers  concerned   while  recommending  their  names  for deputation.   Many  a  time, this  results  in  the  selected  officers  expressing  unwillingness  to  take  up  the  central deputation  appointments  inspite  of  the  fact  that  the  deputation  orders  have  been  issued after a long selection process.   If an officer selected for appointment fails to take up the central  deputation  assignment  after  the  appointment  is  approved,  he will attract a '5 year debarment' from central deputation including foreign deputation /foreign training/ foreign assignment etc.

 

5.       The State Governments/UT Administration are requested to forward the willingness of the eligible IFS officers alongwith their service profile, Biodata, Vigilance Clearance and ACRS of the last five years  to enable this Ministry to select the suitable officers for the aforesaid posts.  The State Governments/UT Administration are also requested to note that incomplete  nominations unaccompanied  with  relevant  documents  /  certificates,  etc.,  will  not  be  considered  for inclusion in the Offer list. The nomination forms complete in all respects must reach this Ministry  latest  by  24^th December.
