In a major move for bureaucracy for the state, the Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig Dr. B D Mishra (Retd) has requested to the centre for creating a separate Indian Administrative Service (IAS) cadre for the state.
The governor took up the issue of a separate IAS cadre for Arunachal Pradesh, when Union Minister of State for Personnel and Public Grievances, Jitendra Singh called on him at Raj Bhavan here.
During the meeting, the governor said that a separate cadre would go a long way in laying a strong foundation of public administration and good governance in the state.
“Till that is done the minimum tenure of IAS and IPS officers being posted to Arunachal Pradesh should be a minimum of 5 years,” Mishra urged the minister.
The present tenure of IAS and IPS officers posted in Arunachal Pradesh is three years. Mishra commended the Centre for organizing the two-day regional conference, which aims to implement good governance practices.
