Indian Railways will recruit 100,000 employees in 2012-13 to overcome a disturbing staff crunch in technical and safety-related areas.
The hiring spree will also help the railway achieve its targets for the recruitment of groups disadvantaged in the Indian labour market.With 1.36m employees, the railways are one of the country’s biggest employers, constituting 28% of the total central government employees.
Railway minister Dinesh Trivedi says that of late, a large number of vacancies in various categories of staff, including in the technical and safety-related areas, has had an adverse impact on the organisation’s operational and safety performance.
“With these recruitments, Indian Railways will also be wiping out the backlog vacancies of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and physically challenged persons, and complying with the instructions of DOP&T (The Indian Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions),” he said in the Budget speech.
These groups are the beneficiaries of positive action within the public sector because of widespread recognition that are discriminated against in the labour market.
