Varanasi: Banaras Hindu University (BHU) conducted a training session on the service regulations and guidelines for govt employees through its Staff Development Cell (SDC) recently. The focus was on the Central Civil Services (CCS) Conduct Rules, 1964 and related disciplinary matters.
The session aimed to provide university staff with an understanding of how these rules apply in various contexts. The training sought to enhance awareness of the CCS Conduct Rules, 1964 which are important for maintaining discipline and ensuring proper functioning within govt services. These rules outline the conduct expected of govt employees, covering both their professional and personal responsibilities.
Prof SK Dubey, coordinator, staff development cell, highlighted the significance of such training programs and said that these sessions not only help employees stay informed about their rights and responsibilities but also support the development of professional conduct. He encouraged staff participation and suggested that multiple sessions could be organised to facilitate ongoing learning.
The session was led by A Velu, deputy registrar, who provided an overview of the CCS Conduct Rules, 1964, including their history, objectives, and practical applications. The discussion covered key aspects such as integrity, honesty, efficiency, and restrictions on activities like political participation and involvement in business without prior approval.
Participants gained a clearer understanding of the disciplinary issues that may arise from violations of these rules, with an emphasis on maintaining integrity and high ethical standards in professional conduct. The importance of adhering to these guidelines was stressed, as violations can lead to disciplinary actions, including termination of employment. Prof. Dubey said that through initiatives like this, BHU continues to prioritise staff development and aims to equip its employees with the knowledge needed to navigate govt service regulations.
The SDC remains committed to organising similar training programs to support the development of a knowledgeable and disciplined workforce.
The training session was well-received, with participants expressing interest in further sessions on the CCS Conduct Rules. Many suggested extending the duration for more in-depth learning.
