Ex Serviceman appointment in Railways

Mumbai : Ex Serviceman appointment in Railways have not bee done any where s for so many years. As Rly board have shifted this quotq from railways jurisdiction to RRBs and RRCs.This shifting of quota has proved to be a wrong decision as it has only resulted in increase in number of vacancies over these years.This was the only source with the Railways to fillup some essential vacancies to a bare minimum requirement (Group C 10%,Gr.D 20%).This quota was also furthering the social cause of recruitment our soldiers who serve and fight for our nation and us in battle fields.It is our responsibility to look after our defence personnel .he provisions for their recruitment in Railways have been made for this cause .But we have failed in this regard we are carrying out our responsibilities.

The proc3ess of their recruitment is also very simple and quick.Sainik Boards and rehabilitatation Centres in each bigger district provide their lists from which Railways can screen and take the required number of well disciplined defence man. By giving the authority of recruiting them to Zonal Railway will solve the problem of huge vacancies to a great extent.Because it is certain that RRBs and RRcs can never recruit more than 2 lakhs of vacancies under the presen t scenerio.Policy makers in Rly Bd. Do not understand the problems of RRBs.This needs reconsideration.
