- provide 3% of the vacancies w.e.f. 1.1.1996 in case of direct recruitment to officers, clerical and subordinate cadres towards reserved quota for PWDs,of which 1% each shall be reserved for persons suffering from :
- blindness or low vision
- hearing impairment
- locomotive disability
- identify posts in the establishment, as the reservation is applicable in the posts identified for each disability. While 3% of the identified posts in officers’ cadre will have to be reserved for PWDs, 3% of the total posts in award categories need to reserved for PWDs.
