Social Justice Minister Virendra Kumar on Tuesday said that the Union government is considering a proposal to determine the equivalence of posts in State government PSUs vis-a-vis Central government posts for recruitment under the Other Backward Classes reservation (non-creamy layer). This will provide clarity to wards of those working in State PSUs.
The Minister was responding to a starred question from Congress MP Dean Kuriakose, who had asked the government about its plans to address issues faced by wards of OBC employees of state government PSUs. The MP had asserted that these candidates had been selected by the Union Public Service Commission but were rejected by the Department of Personnel and Training, citing a lack of any existing guidelines on equivalence with State government PSUs.
Mr. Kuriakose, wanted to know what the government intended to do about representations from these candidates.
