Strength of Employees
04 APR 2018
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.
This information was provided by the Union Minister of State
(Independent Charge) Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS
PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and
Space, Dr Jitendra Singh in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha
today.
