The Government has asked all the Ministries and
Departments to submit the final report on filling up of the backlog
reserved vacancies through Special Recruitment Drive by 21st of this
month. Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Shri V.Narayanasamy
said that the final status from various Ministries and Departments is
being received in this regard. He was replying to a question in the
Rajya Sabha today that whether DoPT has asked to submit a status report
on 60,000-odd reserved vacancies in Government jobs, including for the
OBCs have been filled. The Minister said that the Special Recruitment
Drive, 2008 was reviewed and the Government had re-launched the Drive on
26.07.2012 and all the Central Ministries/Departments were requested to
fill up the backlog reserved vacancies by 31st March, 2012. Shri
Narayanasamy said, some reserved vacancies remain vacant for reasons
like non-availability of suitable candidates, gap between arising of a
vacancy and its filling up etc and therefore it may not be possible to
fix any time line for filling up of all reserved vacancies. He, however
added that all efforts are being made to fill up the backlog reserved
vacancies and instructions already exist that if sufficient numbers of
SC/ST/OBC candidates do not become available to fill up vacancies
reserved for them in the first attempt of recruitment, a second attempt
should be made for recruiting suitable candidates belonging to the
category concerned in the same recruitment year, as early as possible,
before the next recruitment. The Minister also informed that Special
Recruitment Drives are launched from time to time for filling up of the
backlog vacancies.
