The Sikkim Public Service Commission has guided its functionaries for smooth administration and disposal of the assignments for a long time. In consonance with the changing times, the Commission adopted a modern technology in its method of conducting examinations. Further, the Commission has also polished its evaluation system to bring about accountability and responsibility. Fair play and transparency have become the hallmark in the functions of the Sikkim Public Service Commission and whereby the State Government has bestowed even more responsibility to the Commission by assigning the matters concerning appointment and promotion to posts carrying GP of Rs.2300/- and above.
The functions of the Sikkim Public Service Commission are involved in the recruitment process as and when requisitioned by the departments. Besides, under Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC), the Commission reviews all promotional cases in depth and forwards the same with recommendations. All cases pertaining to disciplinary actions are also channeled through Commission, whereby these cases are also scrutinized based on Sikkim Government Servants’ Conduct Rules and other relevant rules and forwarded to the Government.
Overtime, due to the tremendous growth in relation to conduct of examinations, norms, proceedings, new codes and new notifications, these anomalies demand changes. Therefore, to cope with all the above developments and additional assignments, it has become necessary to bring out certain amendments in the Manual which would allow further improvement in the working system of the Commission.
In conclusion, I take this opportunity to congratulate and thank the entire faculty for their varied support and efforts in making possible the introduction of this Manual for Sikkim Public Service Commission, Second Edition, 2018.
