Under Section 16, the Council is required, for the efficient performance of its duties, to appoint which two officers?

Section 16(1) requires the Council, for the efficient performance of its duties, to appoint a Secretary to perform prescribed duties and a Director (Discipline) to perform the functions assigned to him under the Act and the rules and regulations. The Council may also appoint other officers and staff, take security from them, fix their terms, and (with Central Government sanction) fix allowances of office-bearers. The Secretary may participate in Council meetings but cannot vote. The two mandatory appointments are therefore the Secretary and the Director (Discipline), making it correct.
