Filling up of vacancies in govt. departments continuous process: Centre in Rajya Sabha
In a written reply to a query in the Rajya Sabha, he said the total number of sanctioned posts across all Ministries and departments under Central government as on March 1, 2021 was 40,35,203.
"The occurrence and filling up of vacancies is a continuous process, depending upon the position and requirement in various ministries/departments of central government," said Mr. Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel.
The Union Minister was asked details of the total number of sanctioned posts and vacancies across all government departments, specifically in railways, defence, home affairs, and the postal department.
The details of unfilled vacancies and appointments made are maintained by the respective ministries/departments, the Minister said.
Further, the Pay Research Unit of the Department of Expenditure publishes annual reports containing consolidated data relating to sanctioned posts and persons-in-position in various ministries/departments, Mr. Singh said.
The Annual Reports of the Pay Research Unit are publicly accessible on the Department of Expenditure's website: https://doe.gov.in/hi/annual-report-pay-and-allowances.
The government has issued instructions to all Ministries/departments for taking timely and advance action to fill up vacant/unfilled posts through direct recruitment, the Minister said.
In terms of these instructions, ministries/departments are required to take advance action for reporting their vacancy position in respect of direct recruitment posts to the concerned recruiting agencies in order to facilitate the filling up of direct recruitment vacancies in a timely manner, Mr. Singh said.
Model calendar
For filling vacancies through promotion, a model calendar for holding Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) meetings has been prescribed, Mr. Singh said.
All Ministries/departments have been requested to adhere to the prescribed timelines so as to ensure that panels are ready in time and utilised as and when vacancies arise during the course of the vacancy year, he said.
For filling up of vacant posts through deputation, power has been delegated to ministries/departments for making appointments to posts up to level 13A and below in the pay matrix, the Minister said.
All these measures have significantly helped accelerate the pace and quantum of appointments and filling up of vacant posts in central government, he added.
Further, since June 2022, vacant posts in central government are being filled by the respective Ministries/departments in mission-mode under Mission Recruitment, Mr. Singh said.
"Rozgar Melas are being organised in 45-50 cities at regular intervals, which act as a catalyst for the time-bound filling up of vacancies across central government ministries/departments/organisations," the Union Minister of State for Personnel, Jitendra Singh said

PM Modi, Amit Shah meet President Murmu separately
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday called on President Droupadi Murmu separately within hours at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here. It was not known the reasons behind the subsequent meetings of the prime minister and the home minister with the President. "Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan," the Rashtrapati Bhavan said on 'X'. Hours later, the Rashtrapati Bhavan again wrote on 'X', "Union Minister for Home Affairs and Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan." The home minister also wrote on 'X' sharing a picture of his meeting with President Murmu. "Called on Hon'ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu Ji at Rashtrapati Bhavan." However, there is no words so far from the prime minister's office. This was the first meeting of the prime minister with the President after his recent visit to the United Kingdom and the Maldives. The meetings came against the backdrop of the logjam in Parliament over the Opposition's demand for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections in the state. Except discussions in both Houses on Operation Sindoor, Parliament has seen little business ever since the Monsoon session began on July 21. Also, the Lok Sabha last week approved the extension of the President's rule in Manipur for six more months, while the Rajya Sabha is yet to take up the motion for discussion. The President's rule was imposed in the Northeastern state on February 13. The prime minister's meeting with the President also came days after US President Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on exports from India and an unspecified penalty because of New Delhi's purchases of Russian military equipment and oil. The meetings also came nearly two weeks after Jagdeep Dhankhar on July 21 tendered his resignation as vice president to the President citing health grounds. The vice president also functions as the chairman of Rajya Sabha. The Election Commission last week announced that election of vice president will take place on September 9. The electoral college for the vice-presidential election comprises all elected and nominated members of the Rajya Sabha and all members of the Lok Sabha.
