Jaipur: Minister of State for Energy Hiralal Nagar Friday announced that a committee will be constituted to formulate an inter discom transfer policy and address long-pending transfer-related issues of personnel working in power companies across the state.Interacting with mediapersons at the Assembly premises, Nagar said he directed officials to form a committee that will thoroughly examine all aspects of inter-distribution company transfers and submit a comprehensive report. The move aims to provide clarity and a structured mechanism for transfers among power distribution companies.The minister said, inter discom transfers were never implemented in the state so far. He added that when power companies were formed in 2000 under the Rajasthan Power Sector Reform Transfer Scheme, employees were given an opportunity to opt for postings according to their preferences. At that time, personnel were adjusted based on requirements and available vacancies. However, the arrangement was later discontinued.Nagar said that under the current recruitment system, appointments are made strictly on the basis of merit, and selected candidates are posted against existing vacant positions. As a result, there is no formal framework to facilitate transfers between different discoms after initial postings.Reiterating the govt’s commitment, the minister assured that the proposed committee will work towards drafting a clear inter discom transfer policy to resolve employees’ concerns in a systematic manner.He made the statement while responding to an attention motion raised in the Legislative Assembly by MLA Bhagchand Tankda, who sought clarity on the issue of transfers among power company personnel.
