NO RESERVATION FOR EX-SERVICEMEN IN CENTRAL GROUP A AND B POSTS


Dear All,

I take this opportunity to invite your attention to this burning issue concerning to all of us.  I would like to draw your attention towards the reservation policies of the central govt.  As per the current policies we are entitled to get reservation only in Grp C and D posts and not in Grp A and B posts.  I think now is the high time to seek a change in these archaic rules.  Gone are the days when a Jawan used to join defence forces after passing class 10th and used to leave the service with the same qualification and was awarded the Graduation equal certificate by the concerned records office.  

But now the times are changing so many of our counterparts have acquired the higher degrees which make them eligible to apply for the Grp A and B posts in central govt. I give my own example I have completed my MA in 4 subjects, B.Ed, MBA (HR) and 02 PG diplomas.  By virtue of scoring more than 55 % marks in my MA, I am eligible to apply for so many posts being advertised by UPSC concerning to Group A and B but see the irony I will not stand to get any reservation benefit if at all I wishes to apply for these posts.  They only consider us fit for Group C and D posts even if we are highly qualified also.  I think we should get together and fight for our right and raise this burning issue at the highest possible level so that in future our brethren leaving the services are considered for the higher posts. Please give this letter a wide publicity through this wonderful medium.

With best regards,
