Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions 23-May, 2013
Review of the
Special Recruitment Drive launched to fill up the backlog reserved
vacancies of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs.
The Union Cabinet today approved
the Special Recruitment Drive launched to fill up the backlog in
reserved vacancies of the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs)
and Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
The achievement of the drive was
reviewed in July, 2011 by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public
Grievances and Pensions as there was a large backlog of vacancies which
were yet to be filled. The drive was re-launched to fill up the
remaining identified backlog vacancies by the end of the financial year
i.e. 31.03.2012. All Ministries/Departments were requested to make
concerted efforts to ensure that the remaining backlog
reserved vacancies of SCs, STs and OBCs were filled up by 31st March,
2012.
The achievement of the Special
Recruitment Drive on its conclusion on 31st March, 2012, as reported
by various Ministries/Departments is as follows:
(i) A total of 75,522 backlog vacancies were identified. Of these, 44,427 were in the directrecruitment quota and 31,095 in the promotion quota.
(ii) Of the 44,427
backlog vacancies in the direct recruitment quota, 28,588 have been
filled up so far. The success rate in direct recruitment quota is
therefore 64.35 percent .
(iii) Out of 31,095
backlog vacancies in the promotion quota, there are 11,347 vacancies (SC
4,239 & ST 7,106) for which eligible candidates are not available
even in the extended zone of consideration. Therefore, it has not been
found possible to fill up these vacancies. Out of the remaining
19,748vacancies in the promotion quota, 19,446 vacancies have been
filled up so far. After excluding thevacancies for which candidates are
not available, achievement of the drive in respect of the promotionquota
is 98.47 percent.
