MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION ( SHRI SHRIPAD YESSO NAIK )

(a) and (b):- Yes, Sir. Reservation in recruitment/ promotion in the Ministry of Civil Aviation and its various organisations is being done scrupulously as per Government of India`s guidelines/ instructions, as applicable from time to time. However, in Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd., a time bound promotional policy exists and hence reservation in promotion does not apply. In the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, most of the gazetted posts are filled up on deputation basis where reservation is not applicable.
(c):- As and when vacancies arise, steps are taken in accordance with extant rules and reservation policy to fill up the posts. Special Recruitment Drives were also undertaken to overcome the shortfall in various offices/Public Sector Undertakings under the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
(d):-No, Sir, except in some highly technical and specialised licensed categories.
(e):- Does not arise.
