Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Personnel and Training
North Block, New Delhi.
Dated the 21st June, 2013.
Subject: Filling up backlog vacancies reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs)/Scheduled Tribes (STs)/Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
A
Special Recruitment Drive for filling up of the backlog vacancies
reserved for SCs/STs/OBCs had been launched in November, 2008 and was
concluded on 31st March, 2012.
2. Achievement of the Drive as
reported by various Ministries / Departments on its conclusion revealed
that out of total 75,522 identified backlog vacancies , there were
64,175 backlog vacancies which could be filled up and of these, 48,035
vacancies were filled up. Overall success rate of the Drive was 74.85%.
Reasons for non-filling up of reserved vacancies may be attributed to
the lack of finishing skills like English fluency or interview skills,
non availability of qualified reserved category candidates for posts
requiring professional qualification especially in ST category, scarcity
of qualified reserved category persons results in job switch over or
not joining after selection as they get better jobs and in some cases
selection is done on all India basis whereas allocation is made
zone/State wise.
3. The Government considered the status of
filling up of backlog vacancies reserved for SCs/STs/OBCs and desired
that concerted efforts be made to fill up the backlog vacancies at the
earliest and the status of action taken in this regard be monitored at
the highest level. Besides, actions on the following measures are to be
taken at the earliest to enhance the employability of reserved category
candidates:
(i) In order to fill up the vacancies in the posts
requiring professional qualifications, the concerned
Ministries/Departments may take a decision within a period of six months
on launching of a Special Recruitment Drive providing certain
relaxations so that the vacancies may be filled up;
(ii)
Finishing training should be imparted to the reserved category
candidates once they complete technical/professional qualification.
Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and Ministry of Tribal
Affairs would devise such programmes. Such programmes should be
implemented with involvement of State and State Administrative Training
Institutes.
(iii) Training programmes for interview skills and
English proficiency may also be devised for reserved category persons
for posts requiring non-professional qualifications;
(iv) The
issue of providing reserve list/wail list of successful reserved
category candidates would be taken up with the Recruitment Agencies so
that in a situation when reserved category candidates with higher merit
do no join the post, the post may be filled up from the candidates
available in the reserved list;
(v) The issue of less
employability of SCs/STs/OBCs and Persons with Disabilities for
Government sector may require in-depth analysis of the causes and to
suggest remedial measures. It would be appropriate to constitute a
Committee with representations from Ministry of Social Justice and
Empowerment, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Department of Personnel and
Training, major Ministries /Departments like Ministry of Home Affairs,
Ministry of Railways and government recruitment agencies.
The
committee should find out specific reasons for backlog in filling up of
vacancies and suggest measures to enhance the employability of reserved
category candidates.
(vi) More and more posts may be identified
for the persons with disabilities. Micro specifications may be made
liberal by providing reasonable accommodation/technological help.
(vii)
Schemes may be launched for establishment of inclusive schools/colleges
where even persons with disabilities may be able to get education so
that the dearth of qualified persons especially in Hearing Impaired
category may be taken care of.
(viii) As regards awareness of
opportunity for the Persons with Disabilities, the Non- Government
Organisations (NGOs) working in the concerned area may be roped in by
the Department of Disability Affairs for dissemination of information
about schemes/programmes/job opportunities.
4. All the
Ministries /Departments are requested to take follow up action on the
decision taken by the Government. Quarterly reports be sent to this
Department for monitoring the progress of implementation of these
directions.
