  27. If some comments are made on an albino working in a govt. bank by the staff as he is not able to dpo work due rto non availablity of visual aids and making him mentally disturbed. what can he do for the same?

  28. Central Govt has announced its intention to provide and implement 10% Reservation in recruitment and admission to various Professional colleges for economically weaker sections of higher castes and showed its willingness to promulgate an ordinance or introduce a bill in Parliament to amend the constitution to this effect. What a political gimmick Modi Govt is playing to win the votes of poor higher caste people. I remained a staunch follower of Modi ji for all these years only because he is a man of Principles and does not indulge in useless tricks to befool the Public. But now I am pained to notice that Modi ji `s Govt is also making such vague promises only to garner votes. Although I am not against reservation to SC/ST and other weaker sections of the society, Govt should also take care of those whose strength is less like Physically handicapped people who may not be as important to political parties as other people are but implementing the provisions of Equal Opportunities Act in right spirits will certainly go a long way in establishing the earnest approach of Modi ji.

  29. Govt of India is bent upon harassing the Physically challenged employees by not implementing the judgement of Supreme court of India and also the provisions of Rights of Equal Opportunities Act in respect to providing 3% Reservation in Promotions to PH employees. While Govt of India & Supreme court of India are very much concerned about matters involving political mileage, these are least concerned about the welfare of PH employees. If Modi`s Govt want win in 2019 elections then it must work for PH employees and seek their blessings.

  36. The 40% Bench Mark disability clause in RPWD Act 2016 is causing a great problem as only partial deaf are getting the jobs under the reservations for PWD. It is total discrimination – it is suggested that the Bench Mark be increased to 75% for the dear or 75% of reservations out of the 1% reservations be earmarked for the Deaf and Dumb persons — who have studied from various Special Schools for the Hearing Impaired.

As per this DopT OM no. 36035/3/2013-Estt. (Res) dated 31st March 2014, there is a provision for preference in transfer / posting for disabled persons.
