RBE No. 98/2016: Sports – Out-of-Turn Promotion to Sportspersons

No.2015/E(Sports)/4(1)/17, dated 12.08.2016
Clarification/ Corrigendum No. 74

Sub: Recruitment of sportspersons against Sports Quota and out-of-turn promotion to Railway sportspersons on sports account – modification/ changes in policy.
Ref: Board’s letter No.2010/E(Sports)/4(1)/1(Policy), dated 31.12.2010 (RBE No. 189B/2010).

Attention is invited to Annexure-I to Board’s letter No.2013/E(Sports)/4(1)/1/Policy Clarifications, dated 23.12.2013 (RBE No. 135/2013) circulating the List of Junior National Championships recognized by RSPB for recruitment of sportspersons on Indian Railways against sports quota.
The 4th item of SN/12 of the list, names Vijay Hazare Trophy (One day Limited Overs All India Inter Zonal Championship) as under-19 Men Cricket Championship.
However as per the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Handbook, the Vijay Hazare Trophy is for Seniors and is not a Junior Championship. The inclusion of the said Championship in the List of Junior Championship in the above said Board’s policy letter dated 31.12.2010 (RBE No. 189B/2010) is thus a clerical mistake and may be treated as deleted.
