No.E(NG)II/2000/RC-1/Gen./16/JCM/DC, dated 19.06.2000
(SC No.41 to MC No.16)

Sub: Appointment on Compassionate Grounds – Revision of minimum educational qualification for direct recruitment to the post of Skilled Artisan.

Attention is invited to Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/99/RR-1/66, dated 28.01.2000 (RBE No. 17/2000) laying down the minimum educational qualification for direct recruitment to the post of Skilled Artisans in scale Rs.3050-4590 as “Course Completed Act Apprenticeship/ ITI pass in relevant Trade”.
In the above context an Item (No.28/2000) has been tabled by the staff side in the JCM/DC forum seeking revision of educational qualification for recruitment of Skilled Artisans Grade-III for compassionate appointment due to hardship faced by them.
The matter has been reviewed by the Board and it has been decided that for appointment on compassionate grounds, the minimum qualification should be prescribed as 10th pass. However, the recruitment qualification for open market recruitment will continue to be as laid down in Board’s letter dated 28.01.2000 (RBE No. 17/2000). The training period for such compassionate appointment will be 3 (three) years as against the training period of 6 months for open market recruitment.
