Shri Harbhajan Singh expressed worries about the sports quota in government jobs at a recent Rajya Sabha session. The government’s present policy allows for a 5% sports quota reservation for deserving athletes in Group ‘C’ posts, but no clear information or action plan was offered regarding how to quickly fill these vacancies. Furthering the promotion of sports, there was also no sign that the government planned to raise the percentage of sportspeople employed there.

As for the Armed Forces, it will enhance the youthful profile of the Armed Forces and provide a fresh lease of ‘Josh’ and ‘Jazba’ whilst at the same time bring about a transformational shift towards a more tech savvy Armed Forces – which is indeed the need of the hour. It is envisaged that average age profile of Indian Armed forces would come down by about 4-5 years by implementation of this scheme. The national stands to immensely benefit by infusion of highly inspired youth with deeper understanding of self-discipline, diligence and focus who would be adequately skilled and will be able to contribute in other sectors. The dividends of a short military service to the nation, society and the youth of the nation are immense. This includes inculcation of patriotism, team work, enhancement of physical fitness, ingrained loyalty for the country and availability of trained personnel to boost national security in times of external threats, internal threats and natural disasters.

This is a major defence policy reform introduced by the Government to usher in a new era in the Human Resource policy of the three Services. The policy, which comes into immediate effect, will hereafter govern the enrolment for the three services.

Benefits to the Agniveers

Agniveers will be given an attractive customised monthly package along with Risk and Hardship allowances as applicable in the three services. On completion of the engagement period of four years, Agniveers will be paid one time ‘Seva Nidhi’ package which shall comprise their contribution including accrued interest thereon and matching contribution from the Government equal to the accumulated amount of their contribution including interest as indicated below:

All figures in Rs (Monthly Contribution)

The ‘Seva Nidhi’ will be exempt from Income Tax. There shall be no entitlement to gratuity and pensionary benefits. Agniveers will be provided non-contributory Life Insurance Cover of Rs 48 lakhs for the duration of their engagement period in the Indian Armed Forces.

During this period of service to the nation, the Agniveers will be imparted with various military skills and experience, discipline, physical fitness, leadership qualities, courage and patriotism. Post this stint of four years, the Agniveers will be infused into the civil society where they can contribute immensely towards the nation building process. The skills gained by each Agniveer will be recognised in a certificate to form part of his unique resume. Agniveers, on completion of the four year tenure in the prime of their youth, will be mature and self-disciplined with the realization to become better version of himself/herself both professionally as also personally. The avenues and opportunities that will open up for their progress in the civil world after Agniveer tenure would certainly be a big plus towards nation building. Moreover, the Seva Nidhi of approximately Rs 11.71 lakhs would aid the Agniveer to pursue his/her future dreams without the financial pressure, which is normally the case for young people from the financially deprived strata of society.

The individuals, selected for enrolment in the Armed Forces as regular cadre, would be required to serve for a further engagement period of minimum 15 years and would be governed by the existing terms and conditions of service of Junior Commissioned Officers/Other Ranks in Indian Army and their equivalent in Indian Navy and Indian Air Force and that of Non Combatant enrolled in the Indian Air Force, as amended from time to time.

The scheme will lead to much more youthful and technically adept war fighting force by ensuring a fine balance between youthful and experienced personnel in the Armed Forces.

AGNIPATH scheme Advantages

• A transformative reform of recruitment policy of the Armed Forces.
• A unique opportunity to the youth to serve the country and contribute to Nation Building.
• Armed Forces profile to be youthful and dynamic.
• Attractive financial package for the Agniveers.
• Opportunity for Agniveers to train in the best institutions and enhance their skills & qualifications.
• Availability of well disciplined and skilled youth with military ethos in civil society.
• Adequate re-employment opportunities for those returning to society and who could emerge as role models for the youth.

AGNIPATH scheme Terms & Conditions

Under the AGNIPATH scheme, the Agniveers will be enrolled in the Forces under respective Service Acts for a period of four years. They would form a distinct rank in the Armed Forces, different from any other existing ranks. Upon the completion of four years of service, based on organisational requirement and policies promulgated by the Armed Forces from time-to-time, Agniveers will be offered an opportunity to apply for permanent enrolment in the Armed Forces. These applications will be considered in a centralised manner based on objective criteria including performance during their four-year engagement period and up to 25% of each specific batch of Agniveers will be enrolled in regular cadre of the Armed Forces. Detailed guidelines will be issued separately.

Enrolment will be undertaken through an online centralised system for all three services with specialised rallies and campus interviews from recognised technical institutes such as Industrial Training Institutes and National Skills Qualifications Framework, among others. Enrolment will be based on ‘All India All Class’ basis and the eligible age will be in range from 17.5 to 21 years. Agniveers will meet the medical eligibility conditions laid down for enrolment in the armed forces as applicable to respective categories/trades. The educational qualification for Agniveers will remain as in vogue for enrollment in various categories. {For example: For entry into General Duty (GD) soldier, the educational qualification is Class 10}.

Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions

Union Minister Dr Jitendra says, a Common Eligibility Test will be conducted across the country from early 2022 to screen and shortlist candidates for recruitment to Central government jobs.

Launches e-book Civil List-2021 of IAS officers at North Block

06 JULY 2021

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 today said that a Common Eligibility Test (CET) for job aspirants will be conducted across the country from early 2022. This unique initiative undertaken with the personal intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to screen and shortlist candidates for recruitment to Central Government jobs was scheduled to take off with the first such test before the end of this year, but is likely to get delayed on account of COVID pandemic, he said.

Speaking after the launch of e-Book Civil List-2021 of IAS officers, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Common Entrance Test is a path-breaking reform carried out by Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) to bring about “Ease of Recruitment” for young job aspirants and it will prove to be a major boon for youth, especially those living in far-flung and remote areas. This landmark reform is also a reflection of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s deep and sensitive concern for the youths and his keenness to provide level playing field and equal opportunity to youth across the country, he added.

The Minister further informed that the National Recruitment Agency (NRA) for conducting Common Eligibility Test has been constituted with the approval of the Union Cabinet. NRA will conduct CET to screen/shortlist candidates for jobs in Government sector for which recruitment is presently carried out through the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS).

Dr.Jitendra Singh said that the NRA will be a multi-agency body which will conduct the common test to screen and shortlist candidates for Group-‘B’ and ‘C’ (non-technical) posts. The most significant feature of this reform is that every district in the country will have at least one Examination Centre which would greatly enhance access to the candidates living in far-flung areas, he added.

Dr.Jitendra Singh said that the historic reform will provide a level playing field to all the candidates, regardless of his or her background or socio-economic status. There will also be a huge benefit to women and Divyang candidates and for those who find it financially unaffordable to appear for multiple tests by travelling to multiple Centres.

DrJitendra Singh said that the push given to DoPT in the last seven years by the Narendra Modi Government resulted in a number of innovations and reforms for the common public good. Referring to a series of out of box decisions since May 2014, he said that the decision to do away with the time old practice of getting documents attested by a gazetted officer and replacing the same with self-attestation, three-month Central Government stint as Assistant Secretaries for IAS officers in the beginning of their career are far reaching in nature.

Speaking about the e-Book IAS Civil List 2021, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the dynamic list will help in selecting the right officer for the right assignment based on available profile and is a vital source of information on the officers manning various posts for the general public. He said, the e-book IAS Civil list is an effort by the Department to contribute towards Digital India initiative of the Government of India. This effort will also ensure economic utilization of resources by reducing the burden on the government exchequer, he added.

This is the 66th edition of Civil List and first edition of e-book in pdf with unique search facilities and hyperlinking of contents for ease of access of information at a click of button. By introducing publication of e-Book IAS Civil list 2021, DoPT has done away with the printing of voluminous IAS Civil list. The IAS Civil List contains vital information in respect of officers’ batch, cadre, present posting, pay scale, qualification and date of superannuation along with their overall cadre-wise strength, number of IAS officers retiring in next five years including number of IAS officers appointed on the basis of Civil Services Examination from 1969 onwards. The list also contains photographs of IAS officers.The e-book IAS Civil List, 2021 is also available on the website of the Department at https://dopt.gov.in.

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Railway Board New Delhi

Sub: Combined Cadre Restructuring of Group A, B and C services on the Railways

1. Senior Section Engineers (SSE) in the category of Technical Supervisors were given no improvement in the Cadre Restructuring since 1984 and Junior Engineers (JE) are eligible for only one promotion in their cadre as apparent from the following table – in spite of manifold increase in duties and responsibilities of the Technical Supervisors I Rail Engineers:
2. NO IMPROVEMENT FOR SSE IN THE CADRE STRUCTURE OF TECHNICAL SUPERVISOR

3. There has been no upgrading or Cadre Restructuring of the Apex Grade of Group ‘C’ ever on the Railways – (either in 1979, 1984, 1993, 2003 or 2013). Consequently there is extreme stagnancy & resultant frustration amongst the incumbents of the Apex Grade ‘C’- especially amongst the Technical Supervisors I Rail Engineers on the Railways.
4. The post of SSE in the pay scale 2375-3200 in 4th CPC, Rs.7450-11500 in 5th CPC, G.P Rs.4600 in 5th CPC and Pay Level-7 in 7th CPC had not received any upgradation in the past five cadre restructuring exercises.

5. There has been substantial increase in the duties and responsibilities over the years of the Technical Supervisors I Rail Engineers (JEs & SSEs) due to modernisation and advancement of technology on the Railways – but this has not been recognised or remunerated in any manner whatsoever – especially in the case of Senior Section Engineers.
6. Most of the employees get 3 or 4 promotions or even more in their service in Railways, except JEs & It is pertinent that JEs with Diploma in Engineering and one year training and SSEs with Graduate in Engineering and one year of on the job training – are getting stagnated in the Apex Group C scale without any further avenue of promotion except in rare 2% cases. JEs enter in Pay Level-6 will get only one promotion to Pay Level-7. SSE with Graduate in Engineering qualification enter in Pay Level-7 and will remain stagnant in the entry grade itself. The JEs & SSEs rot at Pay Level-7 throughout their career since they have very meager number of posts in Group-B.

7. Less than 2% of Technical Supervisors – (entering with Diploma or Degree in Engineering) – reach Group B level and only a small fraction thereof reach Group A level- due to very meager number of Posts in Group A & B vis-a-vis Group ‘C’ and non­ implementation of DoPTs orders regarding Classification of Posts – issued after the last five Pay Commissions on the Railways. Large majority of Technical Supervisors do not get promotion to the Gazetted cadre except in a very few cases and that too at the fag end of their career. Even after acquiring long years of experience and expertise they remain and mostly retire in the Supervisory cadre itself.

8. Terms of reference of Cadre Restructuring Committees have not allowed the CRC Committees to do the cadre restructure exercise in pan-railways approach taking all management & cadre issue into Instead work of CRC committee had been restricted to Group ‘C’ defeating basic purpose of CRC.
9. In the new scenario of high speed train operation, technological improvements, improved passenger amenities, handling of higher volume of traffic and management requirements thereof, it is requested that Combined “Cadre Restructuring” of posts in Group ‘A’, ‘B’ & ‘C’ may please be considered to upgrade adequate number of Group C posts to Group A & B – to fully meet with the job requirements of the posts of Technical Supervisors on Railways – keeping in view the following facts:
10. In the Technical Departments of Engineering, Mechanical, Electrical, Signal & Telecommunications and Stores, only 3447 Group B posts for 77 lakh posts of Group C & D, i.e. just 0.44% posts are available in Group-B – as indicated in the Tables below:
11. Analysis of Staff Strength in the Technical departments of IR as on 31st March 2019

(Ref: Indian Railways Annual Statistical Statement for the year 2018-19)

12. In fact, number of Group-B posts in Technical departments of Railways had witnessed negative It was reduced from 4274 to 3447 between the year 2009 and 2019. Thus strength of Group-B posts was reduced by 20% in a period of ten years.
13. In spite of more complex nature of duties and higher responsibilities on account of requirements of Safety & modernisation, Railways have the lowest %age of Gazetted posts in Group A & B vis-a-vis total strength – in comparison to total strength of all Central Government departments.

  Group wise sanctioned posts as on March 2018

(Ref: Dept of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, Annual report on Pay & Allowances of Central Government employees for the year 2017-18)

14. In the present scenario of huge investments and fast & prompt completion of new projects, more number of posts in gazetted cadre is essentially required, so that decision making and accountability can be broadened in the administrative hierarchy.
15. Railway Board made a principle decision for combined cadre restructuring long back, part of minutes of Board meeting is given under,
    1. It would be relevant to point out that on Indian Railways, Group ‘B’ officers constitute only 5% of its total workforce whereas, the average in respect of Group ‘B’ officers for All India Central Government employees comes to 5.6% i.e. 10.6 times higher as compared to Railway Group ‘B’ officers. Further, with reference to the Ministry of Culture which has the second lowest percentage of Group ‘B’ officers this ratio is 1:6 as compared to Railways. In this context, it is imperative that for efficient and effective utilization of existing manpower resources on Railways, the ratio of Group ‘B’ officer vis-a-vis non gazetted employees is to be improved keeping in view the functional consideration.
    2. b) While the proposal for upgradation on above lines was under consideration the earlier AM (Staff) discussed the matter with both the Federations regarding upgradation of certain percentages of Group ‘C’ posts to Group ‘B’ gazette post and also regarding simplification in the selection procedure for Group ‘B’ Based on the said deliberations a Note for Discussion in Board’s Meeting was submitted. The said Note was considered in full Board meeting held on 29.11.2011 and Board directed as under:-
    3. c) “Board directed that a comprehensive proposal on restructuring involving Group ‘C’, Group ‘B’ and Group ‘A’ cadres be worked out to enable Board to take a considered view”
16. 7th CPC in its report for Technical Supervisors vide para 40.113 recommended that, “Considering the feedback provided by the Railway Board and upon close analysis of the cadre structure, we are of the view that there is some element of stagnation at the GP 4600 stage. Accordingly , it is suggested that Railway Board should consider enhancing the number of posts in the next higher level” …
17. It is therefore requested that the combined cadre strength of Technical Departments including all posts in Group- A, B and C on Indian Railways may please be restructured as under – so as to be comparable with, if not higher than, the All India Average % age of Group A, B & C of Central Government employees in other Departments:

PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION OF POSTS ON RAILWAYS AS PER ALL INDIA AVERAGE % age DISTRIBUTION OF POSTS UNDER CENTRAL GOVERNMENT

Thanking You

Yours faithfully,
(Harchandan Singh),
General Secretary, IRTSA
