3. Ministries of finance etc. are, therefore, again requested to immediately inform this Department about the action
taken or being taken in this regard. The Ministries/Departments who have not yet initiated any action, may also move this
direction at the earliest and inform this Department accordingly.
D.O. Letter No. 9/2/97-O.L. (S), dated 15.4.1997
I wish to draw your kind attention towards the problem relating to the services of the Hindi Officers/Employees
working in the subordinate offices of your Ministry/Department. As these Language personnel do not have a cadre, the
opportunities for their promotion are relatively less than those for the other Officers/Employees. This has an adverse effect
on their morale. As you may be aware, this department organizes Regional Conferences every year in various parts of India
in order to propagate and spread the Official language Hindi. Hindi Officers/Employees working in the subordinate offices
take part in these conferences and raise the issue of the problems relating to their services. Their main demand has been that
proper opportunities of promotion should be made available to them. This department feels that due to the lack of promotionopportunities,
these officers are showing apathy towards their work. Thus, the implementation of the Official Language
Policy is not being carried out smoothly.
2. This matter had been considered during the meeting of the Kendriya Hindi Samiti held on 2nd Dec. 1987 under the
chairmanship of the Prime Minister and it had been decided that in order to make adequate avenues for promotion of
Officers/Employees working in the subordinate offices of various Ministries/Departments, separate cadres may be formed
for each Ministry/Deptt. The Committee of Parliament on Official Language has also emphasized this in recommendations
made in the first Volume of its report. Thus, instructions had been issued to all Ministries/Departments in writing vide this
Department's Office Memoranda dt. 6th April, 1988, 13th Nov, 1990 and 25th April 1991 to form their respective cadres in this
manner. Sh. Girdhari Lal Bhargawa, M.P. has also, inter-alia, drawn attention towards this matter in his letter dt. 1st Dec, 1996,
addressed to the Prime Minister.
3. This matter had also been considered during the 26th meeting of the Central Official Language Implementation
committee held on 30th January, 1997. In the meeting, the decision had been taken as follows:—
"All the Ministries/Deptts. may immediately initiate forming their respective cadres of the posts relating to the
Official Language in their Subordinate Deptts/Offices/Organisations and Corporations. In this exercise, not only
the requirements and the nature of work relating to the Official Language should be kept in view, but it should be
seen that opportunities for promotion on the posts of the cadre are also available".
4. You are, therefore, requested to take immediate action on the above decision of the Central Hindi Implementation
Committee and intimate this Department about the action taken in this regard.
O.M. No. 9/2/97-O.L. (S), dated 23.3.1999
Subject:— The opportunities for promotion to the officers/employees working on Hindi posts in the subordinate offices/
undertakings under the control of various Ministries/Deptts. of Govt. of India-steps/measures regarding.
I am directed to say on the above mentioned subject, that instructions had been issued vide this Department's O.M.
dt. 13th Nov., 1990 and 25th Apr. 1991 and D.O. letter of 15th April, 1997, that all the Ministries/Deptts. should consider
forming separate cadre for the Officers/Employees working on Hindi posts in subordinate offices/undertakings etc. and
wherever the formation of cadre is possible, it may be formed and where there are less opportunities for the promotion of
staff and it is not possible to form a cadre, the promotion avenues of the staff may be examined and if found inadequate;
steps may be taken to increase such avenues. It was requested to inform this office about action taken in this regard.
2. Despite the above orders, Ministries/Deptts. have not yet informed this Department about any action actually
taken in this regard. Thus, this department is unaware as to what efforts have been made for the promotion of the Officers/
Employees working on the Hindi posts.
3. Ministry of Finance etc. are therefore, again requested to immediately inform this Department about the action
taken or being taken in this regard. The Ministries/Deptts. which have not yet initiated any action in this regard, may also
do so at the earliest and inform this Department accordingly.
