The Government has decided to set up a Committee to make in-depth
analysis of the reasons for backlog in filling up of reserved vacancies.
A 20-member committee headed by the Secretary, Ministry of Social
Justice and Empowerment will suggest measures to enhance the
employability of reserved category candidates. The Committee members are
from various Central Government Ministries including Ministry of Home
Affairs, Department of Personnel & Training, Ministry of Human
Resources Development, Ministry of Railways, UPSC, SSC, Railway
Recruitment Board etc.
The Committee will submit its report within a period of three months from the date of its constitution.
The Government had launched a Special Recruitment Drive (SRD) to fill up
the backlog reserved vacancies of the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled
Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in November, 2008.
Progress of the drive was reviewed in July, 2011 and it was decided to
re-launch the drive so as to fill up the remaining identified backlog
vacancies by 31st March, 2012. The progress of Special Recruitment Drive
was reviewed by the Government in May 2013. It was noted out of a total
of 64,175 backlog vacancies (DR quota and Promotion quota) which could
be filled up, 48,034 vacancies were filled up, indicating overall
success rate of the Drive at about 75%.
The analysis of data and consultation with various Ministries indicated
that lack of finishing skills or interview skills, less availability of
professionally qualified persons, less identification of posts for
Persons with Disabilities, dearth of professionally qualified persons
especially in Hearing impaired Category of disability etc. are some of
the reasons for less employability of SCs, STs, OBCs and PWDs in
Government Sector.
