Sub:- Procedure for selection for promotion from GP Rs.1800 to GP Rs.1900 against departmental promotion quota.

   In terms of the extant provisions as contained in para 189 of Indian Railway Establishment Manual (IREM), Vol.I, (Revised Edition-1989), First Re-Print-2009, 33-1/3% quota of posts in the lowest grade of Commercial Clerks,Ticket Collectors, Trains Clerks, Office Clerks and other categories of Clerks like Store Clerks etc. are to be earmarked for promotion of Railway servants in the categories carrying Grade Pay of Rs.1800, for whom no regular avenue of promotion exists the Group ‘C categories being suitably linked with specified categories in Grade Pay of Rs.1800 on the basis of broad affinity of work.

   2. It has been noticed that a few Railways are adopting different eligibility criteria and are allowing Trackmen to appear in the selection being conducted against 33-1/3% departmental promotion quota which is not consistent with the extant policy as Trackman/Gateman/Trolleyman have separate avenue channel of promotion as per para 181 of IREM ibid. The issue reached upto Central Vigilance Commission(CVC) who, in turn has desired that guidelines may be issued to all Zonal Railways regarding uniform interpretation of Para 181 to 189 of IREM and related instructions thereon.

   3. In te light of the above, the matter has been considered, Ministry of Railways wish to state that the extant provisions contained in para 181 to 189 of IREM, Vol.I, (Revised Edition -1989), First Re-Print Edition-2009 and subsequent instructions issued thereon may be followed scrupulously and only eligible categories as specified may be allowed to appear in the selections being conducted for promotion from GP Rs. 1800 to GP Rs.1900 against 33-1/3% departmental promotion quota.

Shortage Of Homoeopathic Doctors In CGHS.

  There are 39 posts of Homoeopathic Doctors currently lying vacant in Department of AYUSH including one post of Adviser and its break-up is as under:-

 
     CGHS-                                                                 28
{13 (Delhi/NCR) and 15(Outside Delhi)}
 
Department of AYUSH-                                               11

 
            A proposal to fill up 27 posts of Homoeopathic Doctors has been sent to the Union Public Service Commission in August, 2012 under Single Window System.  As the remaining posts are required to be revived as per the extant instruction of the Central Government, the process has been initiated to revive these posts in consultation with the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure).  In respect of Adviser (Homoeopathy), the UPSC held the DPC meeting on 04.10.2012 to fill up the post by promotion which, however, did not materialize due to the retirement of the recommended candidate.

            In order to  fill up the vacant posts of Homeopathic doctors, D/o AYUSH  has initiated the action as indicated above, however, CGHS appoints the retired  Homeopathic Doctors on contract basis  in order to meet the immediate requirement of Doctors for catering the medical needs to the CGHS beneficiaries and  to ensure smooth running of the CGHS dispensaries.  Interviews have already been held on 21st December, 2012 for contractual appointment on short term basis.

            The above information was given by the Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
