 Data regarding employment of nonex-servicemen against vacancies reserved for ex-servicemen is not compiled.

DGR Schemes are based on requisitions from user Departments and sponsorship is made once such vacancies are released to DGR and they are utilized in totality.

Low employment rate of ex-servicemen in jobs is mainly due to not possessing National Council of Vocational Training (NCVT) qualification which is an essential qualification for technical posts and inadequate preparation by ESM for the competitive selection process in recruiting agencies which is totally academic.

This information was given by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Shripad Naik in a written reply to Col Rajyavardhan Rathore in Lok Sabha today.
