WELFARE OF MINORITIES

Public Sector Enterprises of this Department are highly conscious of their obligations to promote the welfare of minorities in the light of Government’s directives on this subject. Instructions issued by the Govt. in respect of reservation in appointment/promotions for SC/ST/OBC, handicapped persons and minority communities have been generally followed by the PSEs of the Department. The work force in the PSEs consists of a large number of persons from different minority communities like Sikhs, Christians, Muslims, etc. Their integration into the mainstream workforce is complete in all PSEs and there is no discrimination on account of their creed or religious beliefs. Various steps have been taken to impart training in different vocations and technical skills to the employees from the minority communities and their dependents. In terms of facilities like residential accommodation etc., all employees are treated at par.

Every year Qaumi /Ekta/Sadbhavna Diwas is organised where people from all sections of the society including women and children participate to stimulate the spirit of oneness, national integration and harmony.
