The decision, referenced in letter No. COM/PMAS/1-1 dated April 22, 2022, was made public via the Ministry’s website. The exemption applies to officers who have successfully completed a 10-day Training Programme conducted by their respective District Secretariats.
The districts covered under this exemption are:
