As per information received from 77
Ministries/Departments including their attached/subordinate offices, the
representation of SCs, STs and OBCs in the posts and services under the
Central Government as on 01.01.2016 is 17.49%, 8.47% and 21.57%
respectively.
Representation of OBCs in the Central
Government services is less as compared to the percentage of reservation
for them because reservation of OBC started in September, 1993.
As per available information,
representation of OBCs as on 01.01.2012 was 16.55% which has now
increased to 21.57% as on 01.01.2016. Therefore, there is an increasing
trend in the representation of OBCs in the posts and services of Central
Government.
Department of Personnel & Training
has issued instructions to all Ministries/Departments to constitute an
in-house Committee to identify backlog reserved vacancies, study of the
root cause of backlog reserved vacancies, initiation of measures to
remove such factors and to fill up such vacancies through Special
Recruitment Drive.
