In MES, JE'S are being promoted to the post of AGE, after a certain year of service, which is around 06 years currently (i.e in 2023).
Reservation is also being followed, while promoting any individual from JE to AE. AIMCEA, which is an association of Civilian JE's of the MES, tries to address the grievances of individuals through departmental means.
Recently, A slide of some presentation was received by the author which depicts the current vacancies of the JE's and AE's of various cadres in MES. We will in general restrict ourselves to B/R cadre, though the modalities matches exactly in the other cadres too. First have a look on the current strength of the various cadres in MES as per the slides received by the author. Screenshot of this slide
is readily available in mainstream of MES groups.
Point No 1. Total strength of AGE B/R in MES is around 1339 as per the column 04 of the above slide.
Point No 02. As per the central Government norms, 15 % and 7.5 % of total seats are reserved respectively for SC and ST candidates. The total reservation is therefore 22.50 % for these two communities. It can be therefore concluded that out of 1339 posts, 301.27 or 302 posts of AGE B/R are reserved for SC and ST candidates. Though separate bifurcation of these posts are necessary but for the time being, we are ignoring this issue of separate bifurcation.
Point No 03
So the point is, on a particular year, out of total AGE B/R seats of 1339, 302 seats should be earmarked for the SC and ST community members. On any particular year, if the representation of SC and ST community is below 302 seats, let us say by 10, then it should be make good by promoting exactly 10 candidates from the SC and ST community on that particular year to reach the threshold of 302 post.
The remaining number of JE's which are to be promoted to AGE on that particular year, even if someone belongs to SC and ST community should be considered in general category because the minimum threshold of 302 seats have been already achieved. Hope I am making the point clear.
Point No 04.
The author has witnessed several DPC in which individuals have been promoted to the post of AGE from the JE. However, data showing the exact number of SC and ST community member currently serving at the post of AGE was not made public and such data is not in public domain of MES cadre. Author is not against the promotion of any individual due to the policy of reservation, however financial benefits in the form of salary are being delayed due to this delay in promotion of any individual which is a very considerable monetary benefit.
Author is also a member of AIMCEA and regularly paying the subscription fee of AIMCEA so author is of the view that AIMCEA should collect this data and this data should be made public to the MES cadre. It is a moral obligation of AIMCEA to address these grivences of individual members.
Point No 05
The last point is not and information as such but a question ⁉️
Out of 1339 AGE B/R posts, how many posts are executive appointment and how many posts are non executive appointment ?
Why reservation should not implemented on executive and non executive appointment separately?
These are the thoughts of an individual and does not represent the official position of MES or AIMCEA.
