There
are two Secretaries, on to look after the work of the Vidhan Sabha
and the other of the Vidhan Parishad. Both the Secretaries are of
the same status as a Secretary to the government. The Secretaries to
the Legislature are drawn from the Judiciary from amongst persons
with at least seven years standing, or from amongst senior officers
already working in the Legislature Secretariat. The Governor, in
consultation with a Special Board consisting of the two Presiding
Officers and the Chief Minister, appoints the Secretaries. The
Governor, in consultation with a board consisting of the Chairman
and the Speaker, recruits qualified persons to other gazetted posts
in the Legislature Secretariat. The board recruits for non-gazetted
posts. The total staff strength working in the Legislature
secretariat at present is 750.
