RESERVATION IN SERVICE MANUAL

           The reservation rosters are not maintained properly by Govt Department .  DOPT has not communicated any guide lines on the maintenance of reservation rosters.  A manual prepared by Institute of Secretariat Training and management New Delhi has given the details of maintenance of reservation roster.  If the reservation rosters is not maintained properly, the ultimate looser is SC/ST  category employees .  It is the responsibility of each employee who appointed on reservation to see that the rosters are correctly maintained by their dept .  Like wise the SC/ST/OBC Association should keep a watch over the maintenance of the rosters and it should be periodically examined for each category  of post.

           In many Dept the recruiting units are not bothered to close the rosters every year  to tally the requirement of SC/ST vacancies .  if the rosters are not maintained properly  vacancies vacated by SC/ST points are not filled up or carried forward .  The author had seen in many offices in the gradation list against the names of muslim officials, community of the officials were noted as SC! since the rosters are prepared based on the gradation list and if it contains wrong information the roster also become wrong.

           If the reservation roster is not maintained properly there is a possibility of counting the meritorious SC/ST employees who were appointed / promoted in merit as SC/ST category and treated as excess at the end of the year while closing the roster, resulting denial of rightful share of SC/ST in subsequent recruitment and promotion.

          Similarly in every department SC/ST Association is functioning but unfortunately the office bearer of the association  are failed to examine their own office rosters.  Though the rosters are not secrete but no body wants to examine it .  Now after the introduction of RTI act the Govt departments are expected to publish the rosters in their website as per section 4  of RTI act ( Pro active disclosure) but non of the Govt department is come forward to disclose the rosters in their website.  Now the individual and association can have copies of roster through RTI act and see that it is maintained properly.

         The SC/ST Liaison officer  of the Govt department is expected to inspect the rosters but these officer seldom inspect the recruiting unit in their department .  Now the individual and association will resort the RTI act to get the copy of the inspection report and information through RTI and ensure that these officer is regularly inspecting the office.

         The reservation roster manual will give an idea how it should be operated and maintained which can be downloaded by selecting  and right  clicking  the following link.

Hindu News:-Drummer-woman makes it big
 “She was first a ‘parai’ drummers and later a singer. The ‘kalai kuzhu,’ right from its inception, worked on an ideology that they will never play for funerals — “Idhu saavukkana parai illai viduthalaikkana parai” (This ‘parai’ drumming is not for funeral but for liberation). Our performance always had a strong message that aimed at re-signifying ‘parai’ as a symbol of self-respect and assertion. Aadhikkam aliyattum, kizhiyattum paraigal alla, Indhiya saatheeya samoogam (Let the beating up of ‘parai’ destroy the dominance; let it break down not the parai but the Indian caste hierarchy),” he says. 

“The troupe performs for political and social conferences and for temple festivals of lineage gods and other traditional gods. Perhaps one of the oldest of the indigenous folk arts, ‘parai aattam’ embraces life in all its forms — birth, puberty, engagement, marriage and death. But, today, despite a rich legacy, ‘parai aattam’ has been pushed to the margins as a polluted form of art,” he says.

Outrage in Bhandara

Afortnight after the bodies of three daughters of an impoverished Dalit widow were found in a well in a village in Maharashtra’s Bhandara district, the investigation languishes. The victims, aged 11, 8 and 6, went to school and never came back. After villagers gave up a nightly search, the police took their time to even accept a complaint. Two days later, the bodies were spotted. According to the police, the girls were raped before being murdered. The only arrest so far has been of a teacher of the school, who was found not to have realised that the children had missed their noon-meal, although she had earlier in the day forbidden two of them from leaving during school hours. It would appear from accounts of the sequence of events that had the police acted on time, the girls could have been found. Fifteen police teams were assigned to the case after the inspector who failed to act quickly on the matter was suspended. The insensitivity and class bias among sections of the law enforcement agencies are once again in evidence here. The sense of insecurity that poor policing and entrenched lawlessness could together engender varies only in scale between rural areas and urban regions. With the trauma of the gang-rape and murder of a young woman in New Delhi last December still raw, the Bhandara case once again highlights the distance this country has to travel.

Incredibly, Maharashtra’s Home Minister, who claimed a little too prematurely last week that the case was “80 per cent solved,” has since blamed the residents of the village for not cooperating with the police. Many VIPs have been visiting the victims’ family. But such visits seem to have only added to the agony of the family and the problems of the police force which, while facing the heat for slow investigation, needs to deploy personnel for the visits and to manage simmering popular protests in the area. Amid all this, the tragic loser is none other than the mother of the victims. Civil society has been showing a growing sense of outrage over such horrific incidents, but the structures of governance ought to respond to it on a matching scale. The enforcement of a benchmark of zero tolerance for violence against women, especially children, cannot wait any more. As the Parliamentary Standing Committee examining the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2012 that seeks to enhance punishment for crimes against women places its report before the House, with the recommendations of the Justice Verma Committee forming the backdrop, the case for the enactment of the most stringent provisions for such atrocities stands further buttressed. The certainty and the severity of punishment should act as true deterrents.

Right to Homestead Bill: Task force to finalise draft

Draft Bill to be discussed on Tuesday

After legislating the Right to Information and Education — and making a stab at the Right to Work and 

Food through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and the Food Security 

Act respectively — the government’s next step seems to be aimed at legally upholding the right to a home 

of your own.

On Tuesday, a task force set up by the Rural Development Ministry — including government officials and civil society members — is expected to finalise a draft of the National Right to Homestead Bill 2013.

The Bill aims to ensure that “every shelterless poor family has a right to hold homestead of not less than 10 cents … Within a period of 10 years commencing from the date of notification,” according to the draft to be discussed by the task force on Tuesday, a copy of which is available with The Hindu .

According to the National Land Reforms Policy draft — which may also be finalised at the meeting — more than 31 per cent of households in the country are landless. Almost 30 per cent own less than 0.4 hectares, meaning 60 per cent of the population owns only five per cent of the country’s land.

Jan Satyagraha impact

The Jan Satyagraha movement, spearheaded by the Ekta Parishad last year, brought thousand of landless people together to protest this state of affairs. Their march to Delhi ended in Agra when Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh agreed to a charter of demands, with the Right to Homestead and a National Land Reforms Policy heading the list.

The task force, headed by Mr. Ramesh, has held three meetings so far to try and fulfil that agreement. The draft Bill calls for State governments to notify an implementation plan within one year to identify beneficiaries, make an inventory of available lands and acquire more, and develop and allot plots. It mandates that the Central government will bear 75 per cent of the cost — through a National Homestead Guarantee Fund.

Eligibility criteria uncertain

The draft seems uncertain about the specific eligibility criteria for beneficiaries. The Bill is aimed at poor families in rural areas only. Government employees, landowners, income tax payers are all exempt. Other criteria, including a maximum income level, have not yet been finalised. The title to the homestead will be given in the name of the adult woman member of the household.
