Guidelines for Inter-District Transfer of Group-C & Group-D Employees (Paramedics)
Department: Health & Family Welfare Department, Government of Odisha
Letter No: 33904 | Date: 07.12.2013
The Health & Family Welfare Department reiterates the guidelines issued by G.A. Department Resolution No.18380-Gen dated 26.08.1993 for inter-district transfer of regular Class-III and Class-IV employees (including paramedics like Staff Nurse, Pharmacist, MPHW (Male/Female), Lab Technician, Radiographer etc.) working under district cadre posts.
Several proposals received from CDMOs are incomplete and do not meet the required criteria, leading to unnecessary correspondence and delay. All future proposals must strictly comply with the GA Department conditions.
