Patna,(BiharTimes): The Centre has cleared the promotion of 16 officers of the Bihar Adminsitrative Service to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) against the vacancies determined by the Government of India.
According to a recent communication to the chief secretary of Bihar from the department of personnel and training, Government of India, the promotion of 16 such officers for the select years, 2006 and 2007, was made under Regulation 5 (1) of the IAS Service (probation) Rules, 1954, in consultation with the state government.

The promoted officers are Virendra K Singh, Parmanand Jha, Ram Babu Singh, Dhirendra Mohan Jha, Anil K Verma, Lakhmishwar Jha, Dharmeshwar Thakur and Vijay K Singh ( all in select list of 2006), Upendra Kumar, Anil Kumar, Rajiv Kumar Singh, Raghvendra Jha, Ram Roop Singh,Misbah Bari, Sanjay K Singh and Iftikhar Hasan (all in select list of 2007). The posting of all these newly promoted IAS officers would be made soon.
The state would now have services of 169 administrative service officers. The state has a sanctioned strength of 326 IAS officers and lack of sufficient number of officers has forced the state government to assign the charge of more than one department to several IAS officers.
Out of 326 IAS officers, the state can have 227 directly recruited IAS officers and 99 posts have to be filled up through promotions.
Of the 227 directly recruited IAS officers, Bihar has 141 such officers while five of them are from other state cadres who are working in Bihar on deputation. Forty-one IAS officers of Bihar cadre are on central/state deputation. As far as 99 posts of promoted IAS officers are concerned, the state has services of just 12 such officers and after promotion of 16 more officers this number would go up to 28, which is still far short of the total sanctioned strength of officers made IAS through promotion.
