There were a large number of temporary Government employees serving under various departments of the Government. The State Government took yet another unprecedented humanitarian decision to regularize those temporary employees who had rendered quite a long period of service to the State Government by reserving 50% of the vacancies across all the departments to such employees. The Department of Personnel accordingly framed the Sikkim State Direct Recruitment (Special Provision) Rules 2008 and successfully implemented it. Under this scheme, many senior temporary employees have been regularized.

Under the separate welfare scheme, the Government has regularized the services of temporary employees with total length of 15 years and above. So far, 3482 out of 4002 sanctioned posts have been filled up under this generous scheme and the remaining ones are still under consideration of the State Government.
