Sub: Special Recruitment Drive to fill up the backlog reserved vacancies for
Persons with Disabilities.

The undersigned is directed to say that this Department's O.M. No.
36035/3/2004-Estt(Res) dated 29.12.2005 provides that if any vacancy
reserved for any category of disability cannot be filled due to non-availability
of a suitable person with that disability or for any other sufficient reason,
such vacancy is not filled and is carried forward as a 'backlog reserved
vacancy' to the subsequent recruitment year. In the subsequent recruitment
year, thE;'backlog reserved vacancy' is treated as reserved for the category
of disability for which it was kept reserved in the initial year of recruitment
and filled as such. However, if a suitable person with that disability is not
available in the subsequent recruitment also, it may be filled by interchange
among Hie three categories of disabilities, failing which by appointment of a
person other than a person with disability. It may, thus, be seen that if a
vacancy IS earmarked reserved for any category of disability and a suiial:.>le
person with that disability is not available to fill it up in the initial year of
recruitment, it becomes a 'backlog reserved vacancy' for first subsequent
recruitment year.
2. As per instructions existing prior to issue of O.M. dated 29.12.2005, if
in any year, suitable physically handicapped candidates were not available
to fill up a reserved vacancy, the vacancy was filled by an other category
candidate and reservation wcs carried forward for a period of upto three
recruitment years. In the event of non-availability of suitable persons with
disabilities, the reserved vacancies were not kept unfilled. Thus there was
no provision of backlog reserved vacancies of persons with disabilities prior
to 29.12.2005. Nevertheless, it is possible that some
Ministries/Departments/ establishments might have kept some vacancies
earmarked reserved for the persons with disability unfilled due to nonavailability
of persons with disability. If there exist such vacancies, these
will be treated as backlog reserved vacancies for the current recruitment
year.
3. All Ministries / Departments are requested to identify backlog
reserved vacancies of persons wifh disabilities in accordance with para 1
and para 2 above and launch a Special Recruitment Drive to fill these up as

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject :

Special Recruitment Drive to fill up the backlog reserved
vacancies for Persons with Disabilities.

**.*a
The undersigned is directed to invite attention to this Department's
OM of even number dated idh December. 2008 whereby a Special
Recruitment Drive was launched to fill up the backlog reserved vacancies
of the persons with disabilities. The OM stipulated that reservation and
backlog reserved vacancies would be determined on the basis of
vacancies arising in the establishment in accordance with the instructions
contained in this Department's O.M. No. 360351312004-Estt(Res) dated
29.12.2005. However, the High Court of Delhi in W.P.(C)
No.l582812006[National Federation of the Blind Vs. UOI & Ors.] held that
reservation to persons with disabilities should be calculated on the basis of
the strength of the establishment and passed orders for computing the
quota and backlog of reservation as per their directions. This Department,
subsequently filed a Special Leave Petition (No. 7541 I2009 ) in the
Supreme Court challenging the order of the Hon'ble High Court, and
without prejudice to the outcome of SLP, issued OM No. 3601212312009-
Estt.(Res.) dated 4.5.2009 requesting all the Ministries IDepartments etc.
to implement the order of the High Court. Since the principles on the basis
of which the Special Recruitment Drive dated 10.12.2008 was launched
were not in line with the orders of the High Court, the Drive could not be
continued after the decision of the High Court.
2.
The Supreme Court vide their interim order dated 6.1 1.2009 in SLP No.754112009 (Union of lndia & Others Vs. National Federation of Blind) stayed the directions
of the High Court and reaffirmed the interim order passed by it on 31.8.2009 whereby the Union of lndia was directed to file a detailed status report regarding
the extent to which the posts had been identified and filled up and also indicating the steps taken to fill up the vacancies that had arisen after the
commencement of the 1996 Act. Pending final decision of the Supreme Court, reservation for persons with disabilities shall now be determined and implemented
in accordance with this Department's O.M. dated 29.12.2005.
3.
Keeping all aspects in view, it has been decided to launch a fresh Special Recruitment Drive to fill up the backlog reserved vacancies of persons with disabilities
existing as on 15.11.2009 according to the following schedule :-
SI.No I Action

candidates to the concerned MinistrylDepartmenUOffice Ministry 1 Department 1 Appointing By 15.7.2010 Authority may issue offers of appointment to the
selected candidates
4.
The following points would make the meaning of the "backlog reserved vacancies of persons with disabilities" clear, which should be kept in view while determining
the backlog:-
(i)
If any vacancy earmarked reserved for any category of disability in the initial year of recruitment cannot be filled due to non-availability of a suitable
person with that disability or for any other sufficient reason, such vacancy is left unfilled and is treated as a 'backlog reserved vacancy' in the subsequent
recruitment year. Further details in this regard may be seen in this Department's O.M. NO. 360351312004- Estt(Res) dated 29.12.2005.
(ii)
Prior to the issue of the 0:M. dated 29.12.2005, if in any year, suitable physically handicapped candidates were not available to fill up a reserved vacancy,
the vacancy was filled by another category candidate and reservation was carried forward for a period of upto three recruitment years. During that period,
in the event of non-availability of suitable persons
with disability, the resewed vacancies were not kept unfilled.
Nevertheless, it is possible that some MinistrieslDepartmentsl

establishments might have kept some vacancies earmarked

resewed for the persons with disability unfilled due to non-
availability of persons with disability. If such vacancies
exist, these will be treated as backlog resewed vacancies for
the purpose of the Drive.
5.
It is important to note that the Government has to file a report in the Supreme Court in terms of the interim order dated 31.8.2009 referred to in para
2 above. All the MinistrieslDepartments are, therefore, requested to scrupulously monitor the Drive and review its progress from time to time. The Liaison
Officer in the Ministry IDepartment should keep a vigil on the progress of Drive in the Ministry IDepartment and all its attached offices I subordinate
offices Ipublic sector undertakings 1 autonomous bodies etc. If he finds any problem in the matter, he may bring it to the notice of the Secretary of the
concerned Ministry IDepartment who may in turn issue necessary instructions.
6.
The Ministries IDepartments should collect information from all the appointing authorities under them and send the following reports to this Department:

7.
It is expected that a large number of the backlog vacancies would be filled up by 15.2.2010 and remaining by 30.3.2010. If any vacancy still remains unfilled,
it should be filled up latest by 15.7.2010. In order to enable this Department to assess the progress of the Drive, the above referred reports should be
sent to this Department three times -first by 15.2.2010, second by 30.3.2010 indicating the progress made upto these , dates and final report by 31.7.2010.

 

8.
The Attached OfficeslSubordinate OfficesIAutonomous BodieslPublic Sector Undertakings should not send the report direct to this Department. They should
send the information to their administrative MinistrylDepartment which will consolidate the information and send such consolidated information to this
Department.
9.
It is also emphasized that while filling up the current vacancies, instructions about reservation for persons with disabilities contained in this Department's
O.M. dated 29.12.2005 should be strictly followed.

Hi,
If this circular will be implemented at least only %25 to %35 with
loyalty, no doubt maximum problem regarding unemployment of disabled
persons might be solved.
But, I have some doubt on Govt machinery.
