Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday announced immediate implementation of the Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) for medical officers of the Odisha Medical and Health Services (OMHS) cadre.
In the present situation of COVID-19 pandemic, the medical officers of the OHMS cadre, who are at the forefront of the health sector, play a vital role in the management of the pandemic.
Though promotion of medical officers under the DACP scheme was announced a year ago, they could not get promotion under this scheme due to want of required PARs. In order to fast-track the DACP, the Government has onetime relaxation for promotion under the scheme.
The entire exercise would be completed by April 30, 2010.
