(c) to (e) : From the above, it may be seen that the total number of personnel who have proceeded on voluntary retirement during last 4 years is only 45070, which is about 1.35% of the Force strength per year only. The personnel proceed on voluntary retirement from service mainly due to various personal and domestic reasons including children/family issues, health/ illness of self or family, social/family obligations and commitments etc. The Government has taken following steps to improve the service conditions of the personnel:-
-
Implementing a transparent, rational and fair leave policy;
-
Grant of leave to the Force personnel to attend to their urgent domestic problems/issues /needs;
-
Regular interaction, both formal and informal, among Commanders, officers and troops to find out and address their problems;
-
Revamping of grievances redressal machinery;
-
Regulating duty hours to ensure adequate rest and relief;
-
Improving living conditions through provision of basic amenities/ facilities for troops and their families;
-
Motivating the forces through increased risk, hardship and other allowances;
-
Provision of STD telephone facilities to the troops to facilitate being in touch with their family members and to reduce tension in the remote locations;
-
Better medical facilities for troops and their families including introduction of Composite Hospitals with specialized facilities;
-
Organising talks by doctors and other specialists to address their personal and psychological concerns;
-
Yoga and meditation classes for better stress management;
-
Recreational and sports facilities and provision of team games and sports etc;
-
Providing welfare measures like Central Police canteen facility to the troops and their families, scholarships to their wards, etc;
-
Giving status of ex-CAPF personnel to the retired personnel of CAPF, which is expected to boost the morale of the existing CAPFs personnel and also expected to provide better identity, community recognition and thus higher esteem and pride in the society to the Ex-CAPF personnel.
Filling up of the vacancies is an ongoing administrative process and prompt and timely action is taken to fill up the same at the earliest. Regular recruitment process is undertaken by the CAPFs and AR through Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), Staff Selection Commission (SSC), Medical Officer Selection Board (MOSB), other Recruitment Boards and Departmental Selection Committees (DSCs) of the respective Forces. Special Recruitment rallies are also conducted wherever and whenever found necessary.
