Centre seeks data on govt jobs for minorities

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi government has asked all central ministries and departments to furnish data on recruitment of minorities during 2014-15, and give reasons for any decline in percentage of such recruitment. This is part of the review of the prime minister's new 15-point programme for the welfare of minorities.

Though the ministries/departments were scheduled to submit such data to the department of personnel and training by April 30, many have failed to do so despite two reminders after expiry of the deadline, on May 13 and May 26.

Now, in a fresh reminder dated July 10, the DoPT has asked secretaries of all central ministries and departments to look into the delay and "direct the concerned to kindly furnish the consolidated annual data on recruitment of minority communities for the period 01.04.2014 to 31.03.2015 in the prescribed proforma at the earliest."

The data will give the number of Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist, Zoroastrians (Parsis) and Jains recruited by the government of India in the last financial year. In case there is a decline in percentage of recruitment of minority communities with reference to such recruitment in the previous year, reasons for such decline are to be examined and intimated by the respective departments/ministries.

Evaluating the percentage of minorities' recruitment in the government of India figures at No. 10 in the PM's new 15-point programme for welfare of minorities.
