      • In 1949, the Gopalaswami Ayyangar Committee while recommending a restructuring of the Central Secretariat, suggested that a Department should be identified with a Secretary\u2019s charge and a Ministry should be identified with a Minister\u2019s charge.\u200b<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • \u200bA\u00a0department of the Government of India may be defined as an
          an organizational unit consisting of a secretary to the Government<\/strong>\u00a0of India, together with a part of the central secretariat under his administrative control, to which responsibility for the performance of specified functions of the Government of India has been assigned under Rules of Business framed for this purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • A\u00a0ministry of the Government<\/strong>\u00a0of India may be defined as ordinarily
          consisting of a department of the Government of India and the\u00a0minister-in-charge of such department<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • A\u00a0formal distinction of this kind was\u00a0new<\/strong>\u00a0and the committee found\u00a0it necessary that a department and a ministry should be respectively identified ordinarily with secretary\u2019s charge and a minister\u2019s
          charge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The\u00a0nature of the work to be performed by a minister should not be identical to that of a secretary\u00a0<\/strong>and, therefore,\u00a0what may constitute a manageable charge for a minister is not always necessarily a manageable charge for a secretary.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • In 1954, on the recommendation of Paul H. Appleby report, an Organisation and Methods (O&M) Division was set up in the Cabinet Secretariat.\u00a0In 1964, the O&M Division was transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs, under the newly created Department of Administrative Reforms.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • In 1970, on the basis of the recommendations of the Administrative Reforms Commission, the Department of Personnel was set up in the Cabinet Secretariat.\u00a0Since the Cabinet secretariat falls under the Prime Minister, it is safe to say the DoPT was placed under PM\u2019s Charge.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
