• Public Sector Banks (PSBs) and Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs):

1. 1. 14.5% in all Direct Recruitment Group ‘C’ Posts.
   2. 24.5% in all Direct Recruitment Group ‘D’ Posts.
      (Including 4.5% for Disabled ESM and dependents of Service personnel killed in action)

• Central Civil Services & Posts (CCS&P) of Central Government Ministries/ Departments and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs):

   2. 10% in all Direct Recruitment Group ‘C’ Posts.

• 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:

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

Trainees after completion of training/course are not reporting back when they secure a placement, as such these numbers are not being separately maintained.

(e): During last five years only one widow of officer was enrolled for Resettlement Training Course and nobody got enrolled from JCOs/OR.
