OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Confirmation of officers – Consideration cases of Blind Persons

  1. Recently the National Federation for the Blind submitted a Charter of Demands to the Prime Minister for the consideration of the Government. One of the demands was that of expeditious confirmation of blind persons in their jobs.
  2. This matter has been examined. Though there is no question of grant of preferential treatment, to blind persons in the matter of their confirmation in posts, it has been noticed that due to administrative delays a large number of officers are not confirmed in the various grades and they continue to be temporary for a number of years. The main reasons for such delays beings that (1) Delay in conversion of temporary posts into permanent posts (2) Non-convening of meetings of the DPC at regular annual intervals.
  3. This Department has issued a number of instructions stressing the need to avoid such delays mentioned above. Vide this Departments’s office memorandum No. 22011/6/75-Estt (D) dated 30.12.1976 it has been brought to the notice of the Ministries/Departments that holding the DPCs for confirmation/promotion in a particular year should be dispensed with only after a certificate is issued that there is no vacancy for confirmation or promotion.
  4. It is once again stressed that there should be no delays in confirmation of officers including blind persons on account of administrative delays. Ministries/Departments should ensure, especially in which blind persons are employed that confirmation is made without delay and at the appropriate time.
