The Sri Lanka Nidahas Graduates Association (SLNGA) has requested all graduate public servants to get themselves incorporated to the Graduate Service Minute before August 14 which is the last date of the grace period offered by the government to get absorbed in to the service minute.

Secretary, Sri Lanka Nidahas Graduates Association Manul Perera said that event hough there are certain lapses and shortcomings in the approved service minute the Ministry of Public Administration and Home Affairs has agreed to overcome such lapses and shortcomings by amending the service minute during discussions the Ministry Secretary and officials had with his union recently.

He said the introduction of a service minute for graduates itself is a victory achieved by graduates in public service in finding solutions to their problems and all graduates incorporated in the service minute will be automatically designated development officers.

He said the Ministry Secretary also agreed to ensure that no graduate will be removed after the completion of the six months training period and the training period would be extended until graduate trainees are confirmed in their posts.
