Assam Cabinet: The Assam government has approved the creation of 72 temporary posts at senior Grade-I of the Assam Civil Services to accommodate 72 ACS officers in order to strengthen the organizational structure of various departments and increase administrative efficiency.

Aside from the 72 positions, there will be 250 Senior Grade-I ACS officers (current strength 178), with the shortfall made up by promoting 72 eligible Senior Grade-II officers from 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002, and 2004 batches.

The proposed 72 temporary positions are for promoted officers. Once an officer is adjusted against regular SG-I vacancies or promoted to Selection Grade, the officer’s temporary SG-I post will be reverted to SG-II
