179 (xiv)- Vacancies in Level-1 in Workshops/ notified categories in Divisions should be filled in the manner indicated below: To ensure the efficient functioning of the railway system, it is imperative to fill vacancies in a systematic and strategic manner. The recruitment process for Level-1 positions in Workshops and notified categories in Divisions is a critical aspect of maintaining operational excellence within the railway infrastructure. The allocation of vacancies should adhere to the following guidelines:
90% of the vacancies should be filled through recruitment from the open market, including Apprentices trained under the Apprentices Act. This approach not only brings fresh talent into the workforce but also provides an opportunity for skilled individuals to contribute to the railway industry. In addition, 10% of the vacancies in workshops and specific departments such as S&T, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Traffic & Commercial Department, and Works side of Engineering Department in Divisions should be filled by transferring employees from among regular Track Maintainers, Assistant Depot (Stores) of the Stores Department, and House Keeping Assistants of various departments. These employees should have a minimum of 8 years of service, ensuring a level of experience and expertise in their respective roles.
Furthermore, 10% of the proposed vacancies for recruitment in Level-1 of workshops and specific departments will be clubbed to recruit an equivalent number of Track Maintainers. This process aims to streamline the recruitment of Track Maintainers in addition to the regular intake decided for the Engineering Department. The lateral transfer will occur once the direct recruitment exercise is completed, and all stipulations have been met. It is essential to facilitate the lateral transfer of Trackmen in regular employment within the Engineering Department to those departments where 10% of vacancies have been clubbed for the recruitment of Trackmen. This strategic reallocation of resources ensures a balanced distribution of workforce across departments, optimizing operational efficiency.
Departments that do not fall under the category of vacancies being clubbed for Trackmen recruitment can proceed to induct fresh personnel for the remaining 90% of vacancies. Additionally, they can address any deficiency not met through lateral transfers by recruiting new talent to meet operational requirements effectively. A Track Maintainer in Level-2, possessing the necessary eligibility conditions, who wishes to transition to other departments through lateral induction, can do so upon accepting reversion to Level-1. This provision allows for career mobility and diversification of skills within the railway workforce, promoting professional growth.
