Bhubaneswar: The State Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday approved the proposal to amend the Odisha Employees’ State Insurance Medical Service (Method of Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 2014.
The Cabinet has approved the withdrawal of the Level-I and Level-II grades of Joint Director so as to enable them to avail promotional opportunities at par with their counterparts in Health & Family Welfare Department to the next higher grades as well as for regulations of their service conditions to provide thereby better healthcare to the Industrial workers across the State under ESI scheme.
The burden on the State Exchequer will be shared between the State Government and the ESI Corporation in the agreed ratio of 1:7 which shows that the State Government bears only 1/8 of the expenditure.
