Central Government Jobs
No. 17-07/2017 -SPN-I Ministry of Communication Department of Posts Personnel Division
Dak Bhawan, Sansad Marg New Delhi, Dated 28.09.2020
To,
1. All Chief Postmasters General / Postmasters General 2. Chief General Manager, BD Directorate / Parcel Directorate / PLI Directorate 3. Director, RAKNPA / GM, CEPT / Directors of all PTCs 4. Addl, Director General, Army Postal Service, New Delhi 5. All General Managers (Finance) / Directors Postal Accounts / DDAP
Subject: Filling of vacancies under Sports quota- regarding.
Madam / Sir,
I am directed to refer to Directorate’s letters of even number dated
15.05.2019, 05.07.2019, 12.09.2019 and 11.10.2019 regarding filling up
of the vacancies earmarked for sports quota in accordance with the
instructions issued by the Department of Personnel & Training
(DOP&T).
2. Vide aforesaid letter dated 15.05.2019, following was communicated: –
‘while making recruitment under sports quota, Circles are
required to notify such vacancies without restricting them to a
specific sport/ discipline or to specific gender. The notification shall
invite all meritorious sports persons belonging to approved disciplines
and recruitment to these vacancies shall thereafter be made based on
criteria stipulated in DOP&T O.M. No. 14034/01/ 2013-Estt. (D) dated
03.10.2013.”
3. Despite these instructions, references were received from various
circles conveying that recruitment of meritorious sport persons in all
the approved disciplines included in the instructions of DOPT will
hinder development of teams at national level in any particular
discipline. Thus, Circles were seeking clarification in this regard.
4. The matter was examined in detail and It was decided by the
Competent Authority to obtain the advice of DOP&T in the matter.
DOPT has advised as under: –
“we may advise DoP that their pursuit of participating at
major sporting events related to 13 identified sports disciplines has
no bearing on appointment of meritorious sportsperson as per O.M. dated
03.10.2013, as the two are separate activities, DoP may participate In
events relating to the proposed 13 sports disciplines by forming their
own teams. However, if any post is to be filled under the sports quota,
meritorious sports persons relating to any of the 43 discipline are
equally eligible to apply for such posts, in terms of O.M. dated
03.10.2013. Such appointment cannot be linked to development of a team
to represent DoP at a national level.
6. With regard to O.M, dated 03.10.2013, it may be informed to the
Administrative Department that the said instructions are issued to
provide incentives to already meritorious sportsperson who have achieved
in their respective sports in the form of recruitment, promotion,
increment etc. No such provision of recruiting sportsperson for
formation of team in particular sports discipline is available in the
said instructions. Therefore, restricting sports disciplines to 13 (in
place of total 43 disciplines given in DoPT instructions) by the AD with
the motive of developing team in a particular discipline appears to be
denying right to sports persons of other disciplines to get the above
mentioned incentives which is not considered to be in consonance with
the above mentioned instructions issued by DoPT.”
5. In view of the above, Circles are requested to fill up the
vacancies earmarked for sports quota in strict compliance with DOP&T
O.M. No. 14034/01/2013 -Estt. (D) dated 03.10.2013, as amended from
time to time. Further, Circles may note that DOP&T vide O.M. No.
140341/2013 (D)-Estt. dated 01.09.2020 (copy enclosed) has provided a
list of 63 sports disciplines which have been identified for recruitment
under sports quota.
6. The notification issued by the circles shall invite applications
from meritorious sports persons belonging to all approved disciplines.
If any circle has already notified sports quota vacancies for a limited
number of sports disciplines and selection of candidates against such
notification has not been finalized , such notification may be cancelled
forthwith and a fresh notification accordance with the guidelines.
7. Further, as communicated vide letter of even number dated
15.05.2019, field trial shall not be conducted and selection of
candidates will be done as per the criteria outlined in the guidelines
issued by DOPT from time to time.
8. Circles may take note that no further reference on the issue of
restricting the recruitment to a limited sports discipline and
conducting field trial shall be entertained by the Directorate.
