Govt's
Selection Policy for Board Level Appointments in PSUs
The
P.E.S.B shall not be a mere Interview Board and it shall, also,
constitute itself into a Search Committee to look out for and
identify suitable persons who can be appointed to Level-I and
Level-II posts in PSEs. |
|
|
The
policy of Government is to appoint through a
fair and objective selection procedure outstanding
professional managers to Level-I and Level-II
posts and posts at any other level, as may be
decided by the Government from time to time.
Government have also recognised the need to
develop a cadre of professional managers within
the public sector. Hence unless markedly better
candidates are available from outside, internal
candidates, employed in the PSE, will be preferred
for appointment to Board level posts. However, if
internal candidates are not available, preference
will be given to candidates working in other PSEs,
either in the same area of business or in other
areas. Mobility of managerial personnel among PSEs
within the same sector or group, failing which
mobility within the public sector as a whole will
be encouraged, subject to certain limitations.
However, in special cases, recruitment may be made
from the organised services under the Central
Government. Such cases would be where, because of
special circumstances, it is necessary to place a
member of an organised service in a PSE or where,
because of the nature of the enterprise or its
poor health, it would be difficult to attract good
professional managers on a tenure basis.
Under
special circumstances, the appointment to a particular post or posts
in a PSE may be made other than through P.E.S.B with the prior and specific approval of the
Govt.
For sick and potentially sick PSEs, the
Administrative Ministry/Department concerned, in consultation with P.E.S.B
could take a decision at any
stage in the process of recruitment to the post of Chairman,
Managing Director or Chairman-cum-Managing Director of the PSE, to
take a person on deputation from any of the All India or Group
"A" Central Services without insisting on the rule of
immediate absorption. |
