Sub: Revision of cadre strength of different establishments consequent to
restructuring of the cadres of Geological Survey and Exploration wing,
Mineral Administration and Chemical Analysis Wing under the Directorate of
Geology and Directorate of Mines.
No.8742–XII-DM-SM-56/2016/SM. — Whereas, the State Government vide
notification No.4715/SM., dated the 18th June, 2018 have restructured the cadres of
Geological Survey & Exploration Wing, Mineral Administration Wing and Chemical
Analysis Wing of Odisha Mining and Geology Service.
And, whereas, the said restructured cadre inter-alia include up-gradation of Group-
B base level posts under the three wings to Group-A (Junior Branch), merger of some
posts and abolition of few ranks besides creation of 47 nos. of additional posts in the
Directorate of Mines and another 104 nos. of such posts in the Directorate of Geology, of
which the base level posts of Geologists/ Petrologists/ Geophysist so created and totaling
to 97 nos. are to be filled up over three batches having 1/3rd of number in each batch.
And, whereas, these additional posts so created are required to be allotted to
different establishments under both the Directorates. The Director of Mines and the
Director of Geology have proposed for allotment of such additional sanctioned posts
among the different establishments in their respective jurisdictions.
And, whereas, the Director of Mines, in order to ensure effective administration and
keeping in view the proliferation in the mining activities in existing Joda Mining Circle
having jurisdiction over entire Champua sub-division of Keonjhar District, has proposed for
bifurcation of this mining circle into Joda Mining Circle with jurisdiction over area of that
sub-division to the South of NH-215 where as proposed new Barbil Mining Circle with HQ.
at Barbil will have jurisdiction over rest of the area of that sub-division viz area of the sub-
division to the North of NH-215.

And, whereas, further in order to expedite the exploration work so that more blocks
are readied for auction, those base level posts so created under the Directorate of
Geology and now proposed for allotment to its various field establishments may be filled
up first and thus such posts proposed in the Head office establishment of the Directorate
may be filled up in last batch of recruitment of the base level posts.
Now, therefore, the State Government after careful consideration have been
pleased to approve the proposal of the Director of Mines for bifurcation of existing Joda
Mining Circle into Joda Mining Circle with HQ. at Joda and Barbil Mining circle with HQ at
