Of course, it is a grate fraud being perpetrated on totally blind with the help of law and nonsense government resolutions. A mass movement needs to be launched. I believe the case is being fought in the court of law and the issue of said GR is being included only now. But let us hope it will be dealt with firmly and the court will see the reason and strike down the said GR. It is wholely unnecessary as the required physical criteria for a given job [including extent of vision] are already laid down in job identification lists and a separate GR giving standing preference to low vision and thus depriving the totally blind of their legitimate rights and distributing job opportunities to fraudulent sighted people who have secured certificates of blindness, or to those blind persons who can read the print even at night etc. is nothing but fraud. I may sound sentimental here, despite my legal training, but I have stated the truth and nothing else.

But in almost 80% of ads only partially sighted with 40% of vision are eligible to apply. Totally blind because of this get very much frustrated. Further in reality the jobs are given to those who really do not come under the catagory of v.h. but by hook or crook manage to get a Dr's certificate. I feel the categorisation of v.h. done in most of eye hospitals is unscientific. A person seeking a certificate there in most of the cases is just asked to identify the number of fingers and if a person says he cannot see the fingers he is given a totally blind person certificate and the same person if partially sighted after some days manages to get a partially blind certificate with the result the same person has both the certificates. Isn't it rediculous? But because of this totally blind persons, in spite of having the ability is unable to get a > job. > I feel something needs to be done about this. > Sincerely, > C. B.
