The exercise in finalizing the cadre strength in different departments picked up pace with the Finance department conducting a day-long crucial meeting with special chief secretaries, principal secretaries, heads of departments and other senior officials on Sunday. Intensifying its efforts to identify the sanctioned strength in each department and the exact number of staff presently working, the departments had been asked to prepare comprehensive lists of regular employees and vacancies as well as those working on contract/outsourcing basis in them. Principal Finance Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao has been tasked with the responsibility of gathering information from the departments so that a central database on the existing vacancies can be prepared. This would enable the government to notify the recruitment schedule from time to time.
