(3) Sub-Divisional Officer(Sadar):-

Locating relevant papers and references, noting, drafting and making suggestions is mainly their responsibility. The various Branches of the office are being looked after separately by different dealing assistants who are either an UDC, LDC or C.A under the supervision of the assistant. The pace of work in the office largely depends on these clerical staff.

(11) Circle Assistant:-

Initially, C.A’s were engaged as field staff for collection of revenue taxes, house side plotting and conducting spot verification of land dispute, etc. However, since the establishing of Revenue Department as a separate establishment, the utility of their service has

Been replaced by Revenue Surveyors. As a result, some C.A’s who have lower educational qualifications were engaged as peons whereas those with higher qualification were made to function as clerical staff. Therefore the duties of C.A’s vary from person to person depending on their educational background and other qualities that they possess.

3. Sweepers- Sweepers as the name suggests are expected to sweep and clean not only the interior part of the office but its surrounding areas as well.

THE PROCEDURE FOLLOWED IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS, INCLUDING CHANNELS OF SUPERVISION AND ACCOUNTABILITY:

The process of decision making starts with a correspondence received which is put up after completing the formal procedure of noting down the gist / summary of the correspondence with suggestion if any, by the Dealing Assistant. The file is routed through to all the concerned starting from the Assistant to the highest Authority i.e the Deputy Commissioner. Normally, the file starts its journey from the lower position making its way to the highest in the organizational hierarchy.

As a first step, the Dealing Assistant puts up the file to the Superintendent who puts it up to the concerned Branch Officer. The Branch Officer then forwards it to his senior i.e. SDO(S), and then from him to the Additional D.C who then finally puts it up to the Deputy Commissioner, whose decision is absolute and final. In this process of passing on of file, all concerned are expected to examine the matter carefully and give their respective inputs and suggestions. This is to enable them to work as a team and arrive at the best possible decision. Furthermore, this procedure upholds transparency and accountability and acts as a channel of supervision at every stage of decision making.
