A review of all ministries/departments with persons in positions (PIP) less than 500 was undertaken.
The staffing profile of ministries show a wide variation. The composition of personnel in the age groups 20-30 years and 30-40 years is very substantial amongst personnel in the Ministry of Home Affairs, largely on account of the police recruitment.
Other large departments such as Railways, Posts and IA&AD (audit and accounts) had relatively larger percentages in the 20-30 years age group compared to other ministries, which comprise the rest of the smaller ministries /departments.
On an analysis of the age composition of personnel, the Commission noted a discernible pattern as regards ministries/ departments which were comparatively smaller. A review of all ministries/departments with persons in positions (PIP) less than 500 was undertaken.
The findings pointed to the fact that in most of these ministries /departments the percentage of personnel in the age group 20-30 years was significantly lower than in the larger departments.
