    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) During the period 2004-2006, a total of 933,330 persons have been employed in different sectors of the economy. The source of this information is the Economic Survey of 2006. Of those, a total of 80,900 were employed in the formal modern sector, while 852,400 were employed in the informal sector. Among the 80,900 persons employed in the formal modern sector are 13,172 civil servants employed between 1st July, 2004 and 30th June, 2006, in various Government Ministries. (b) By recruiting 13,172 civil servants, the Government has not gone back on its commitment to undertake measures in the Civil Service aimed at attaining a lean, effective and well paid workforce, which has included voluntary and early retirement and abolition of certain jobs or offices. The recruitment has not increased the number of civil servants, but was being done to replace critical service positions and those who have left the service through retirement or natural attrition."
