 Underrepresentation

  • SC/ST officers are significantly underrepresented in senior civil service roles

  • For example, out of 322 Joint Secretaries and Secretaries, only 16 are from SC and 13 from ST categories.

  • The low representation means fewer SC/ST officers are involved in crucial policy-making processes, like framing the Budget.

  • Senior positions are predominantly held by individuals from upper castes, which perpetuates the underrepresentation of SC/ST officers

  • SC/ST officers often join the civil service later due to extended age limits, resulting in shorter career spans and fewer opportunities to reach senior roles.

  • The age-based entry and retirement policies disadvantage SC/ST and PwBD candidates, limiting their advancement to top positions despite their competence.

Way Forward

  • Implement a fixed tenure for civil service positions (e.g., 35 years), regardless of the age of entry, to ensure fair career progression.

  • Consider lowering retirement age limits to around 67 years while ensuring annual medical fitness checks to accommodate longer life spans.

  • Shift the focus from age of entry to performance and efficiency for promotions to senior positions

  • Establish an independent, multi-disciplinary committee with adequate SC/ST, OBC, and PwBD representation to review and address these issues.

  • Advocate for policy changes that ensure fair representation and opportunities for SC/ST officers at all levels of civil service
