Hi Rakesh, There are hardly any such awards available here in the United States and Even at the level of job interview we face the panels like any other candidates and the issue of disability related accommodation arise only after our appointment. Of course it can have positive as well as negative impact. Because the US doesn't have protective discrimination in favor of the socially disadvantaged people, it is up to the employer to decide whether he/she wants to higher you or not and that's what becomes a major tool in discriminating people with disability. At the same time there are at least some employers who are able to overlook disability while recruiting people. For example when I attended interview recently at the Ramapo college (NJ) for an interview to be an adjunct professor, disability was hardly an issue. Instead the focus of the panel members was primarily to learn about my research interest, teaching philosophy/methodology and so on. So that's where we fall behind US. But fortunately we have the protective discrimination which can be a major tool in recruiting visually impaired people. But it stops only at the level of recruitment and it is up to the employer to see whether a person with visual impairment deserves to be nominated for the best employee award or not. So it's really hard to put both the systems in a black and white perspective.
