Indian Administrative Service officer Vijay Waghmare has developed a foolproof, trans- parent and preferential system for transfers of zilla parishads (ZP).
Zilla parishad employees will not need to pull strings to get transferred to a place of their choice, thanks to Waghmare's `Aurangabad Pattern'.
The state government has asked all ZPs to follow Waghmare's module to help employees get over transfer blues and, most importantly, check corruption in the process.
Waghmare (34), a graduate from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, told Hindustan Times from Aurangabad that when he joined as the chief executive officer of the Aurangabad ZP three years ago, the first thing that came to his mind was effecting transfers.
“I spent days and nights get- ting the postings changed because employees would come to me with genuine difficulties,“ said Waghmare. “So, I thought of asking them their preferences before transferring them. I called them at one place.“
Under the `Aurangabad Pattern', as it is now popularly known, employees (from larger cadres like teachers) are given presentations on vacancies and promotions at mass counselling sessions. This leaves little scope for complaints because of lack of transparency and undue polit- ical interference.
“The entire process of post- ings was completed in a single day in a hassle-free manner and without any outside interfer- ence,“ Waghmare said. “This ensured high employee satis- faction. We continued with this for three years.“
Aurangabad's Divisional Commissioner Bhaskar Munde liked the method so much that he asked all other ZPs in his division to follow it.
The model soon reached Mantralaya. Earlier this week, Rural Development Minister Jayant Patil gave his nod for implementing the system across the state. Chandrapur started it two days ago and others are expected to follow.
Patil was unreachable for com- ments. Munde said this was the best move towards good gover- nance. “When Mr Waghmare implemented the idea success- fully, I thought of doing the same in other seven districts of my division. We have stopped receiving transfer-related complaints.“
A similar process is followed first postings after recruitment and subsequent promotions.
“Promotions provide a route for human resource development in the organisation. It is a win- win situation where vacant posts are filled and the employ- ee is also motivated to achieve organisational objectives,“ Waghmare said.
Employees are happy. “This pattern has given us relief on physical, mental and financial fronts. Efficient employees who are less influential also have a voice now,“ said Madhukar Walture, vice-president of the State Teachers' Association.

ReplyDeleteThe e.g given is really nice to know and motivating, the best part of creativity is that it multiplies when it is used more and more.
A more creative environment make your working more challenging and interesting and lively.
something which is challenging and important to implement the creative matter. today mourning itself Dilip sir showed the letter of Thomas Edison saying that a average invention or new product takes on an average seven year for layman to understand and follow.But anyways this may be applicable to things applicable to masses.
