ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (DR. (SMT) KILLI KRUPARANI)

(a) No, Madam. The rules/instructions issued by the Department of Personnel & Training (DOP&T) i.e. the Nodal Department of the Government of India, are followed in the Department of Posts and Department of Telecommunications for compassionate appointment cases of the dependents of ex-Government employees. An objective Point System is followed in the Department of Posts to assess the indigent condition of the family of an ex-employee. So far as compassionate engagement cases of dependents of Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) are concerned, the Department of Posts follows similar kind of objective Point System and its own internal instructions as GDS system is not covered by DOP&T. 

(b) Does not arise in view of reply to (a) above. However, Circle-wise details of compassionate appointment/engagement cases including Odisha in Department of Posts for the last three years are attached as Annexure I & II and of Department of Telecommunications at Annexure III.
