## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (Dr. SATYA PAL SINGH) (a): The recruitment of faculty was being done based upon clause 6(c) and 8(a)(v) of University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, 2006 which prescribe that the cadre or unit for determining reservation roster points should be 'University/college' and not 'Department/ subject'. The Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in its order of C.M.W.P.No.43260 of 2016 dated 07-04-2017 quashed this Guideline. Implementation  of  these  orders  could  lead  to  reduction  in  the  posts  to  be reserved for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. (b): Yes, Madam. These guidelines were issued in compliance to the judgement of the Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad in the W.P. No. 43260 of 2016 dated 07-04-2016. (c):  As  informed by UGC, information has been received from 20 universities which have prepared 100 Point Roster. The details are as enclosed vide Annexure. (d): (i) An  Inter-Ministerial Committee  was  constituted to examine  the issue.

- Subsequently, on the recommendations of the Inter- Ministerial Committee and after consulting the Law Ministry, the UGC and the Ministry have filed separate SLPs on 12-04-2018 and 16-04-2018 respectively before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

(ii)  A  draft  Bill  on  Reservation  in  appointment  of  Faculty  by  direct  recruitment  in teachers'  cadre,  in  Central  Educational  Institutions  Bill,  2018  has  been  sent  for  the approval of Cabinet by this Ministry on 20 th December, 2018.
