-  Public Sector Banks (PSBs) and Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs):
- i. 14.5% in all Direct Recruitment Group 'C' Posts.
- ii. 24.5% in all Direct Recruitment Group 'D' Posts.

(Including 4.5% for Disabled ESM and dependents of Service personnel killed in action)

- ii. 10% in all Direct Recruitment Group 'C' Posts.
- iii. 20% in all Direct Recruitment Group 'D' Posts.
4.  100% in Defence Security Corps.

Reservation  for  ESM  is  against  direct  recruitment  vacancies  only,  number  of  which  is worked out by the appointing authority, as and when recruitment process is initiated.

As  per  available  data,  year-wise  recruitment  of  ESMs  during  last  five  years,  as  on 31.12.2021, is as follows:

|   Year |   Number of ESMs |
|--------|------------------|
|   2017 |             5638 |
|   2018 |             4175 |
|   2019 |             2968 |
|   2020 |             2584 |
|   2021 |             4343 |

No  independent  assessment  has  been  done.  However,  for  the  purpose  of  improving number  of  recruitments  of  ESMs,  advisories  have  been  issued,  from  time  to  time,  to  all concerned Department/CPSUs/Banks/State Governments for conducting special drive to fill up backlog of vacancies reserved for ESM and for adoption of relaxed standards of qualifications for their recruitment. Liaison Officers have also been appointed in various Departments/PSUs/Banks to ensure implementation of reservation policy for ESM.

- (d):  Total number of personnel enrolled in the DGR for Resettlement Training/Skill Courses during the last 05 years (2017-18 to 2021-22) is as under:

| Financial Year   |   Number of personnel enrolled |
|------------------|--------------------------------|
| 2017-18          |                           7904 |
| 2018-19          |                           6463 |
| 2019-20          |                           6626 |
| 2020-21          |                            644 |
| 2021-22          |                           4240 |
| Total            |                          25877 |
