THE appointment of 17 joint secretary level officers and a repatriation that received the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet’s nod last week, has clearly demonstrated one point: Non-IAS officers have begun to gain grounds in limited space of JS postings in Central government ministries and departments. As many as 11 out of 17 joint secretary berths have gone to IPS, IFoS and Group “A” service officers, and in six such cases, the officers belonging to IFoS, CSS etc. actually replaced IAS officers in various departments.
