A request dated 07.09.2010 was received in the Ministry of Home Affairs from the Minister of Tribal Affairs regarding easing of eligibility standards for recruitment of tribals in the Central Paramilitary Forces.
The Scheme for recruitment of Constables in Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF) and other Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) already provides for relaxation in the physical standards for various categories, including Scheduled Tribes. The height criteria for Tribals have been relaxed and, at present, are as follows:¬
i) For Scheduled Tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura and the Left Wing Extremism(LWE) affected Districts of LWE affected States- (a) Male-160 cms (b) Female¬ 147.5 cms.
ii) For Scheduled Tribes of all other States/UTs/Districts- (a) Male - 162.5 cms, (b) Female-150 cms.
However, the educational standards have not been relaxed to 8th standard.
To address the issue of alienation of Tribals and to equip the Forces like CRPF etc. to have better local intelligence and familiarity of the battle terrain to tackle Naxalism/ Maoism, the Government has already designed the recruitment scheme of Constables in a manner that promotes intake of locals/tribals in Constable/GD posts from border districts and naxal/militancy affected districts.
In the scheme presently being followed, 20% vacancies are allotted to border districts falling within the area of responsibility of Border Guarding Forces (BGFs) and 20% vacancies in Border Guarding Forces are allotted to the militancy affected areas (i.e. J&K, North Eastern States and Naxal affected areas). In Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) other than BGFs, 40% vacancies are allotted to militancy-affected areas (i.e. J&K, North Eastern States and Naxal affected areas).
