Backlog of Schedule Tribes Vacancies

The Ministry is aware about tribal backlog in various Departments of Central Government and services of Public Sector Undertakings. A special recruitment drive has been launched to fill up the backlog reserved vacancies. Some vacancies reserved for the Scheduled Tribes remain unfilled for the reasons like non-availability of suitable candidates, gap between arising of a vacancy and its filling up etc.

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Shri Prithviraj Chavan in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
