Kudos to the Pratap sir/Sambhavana organization and advocate Pankaj Sinha who have again taken up the UGC to the Apex Court for not enforcing the reservation envisaged in the PWDA in teaching appointments across the all Indian central universities. It’s a naked fact that out of the 40 central universities regulated/funded by the UGC, more than thirty universities are hell-bent in excluding disabled candidates from being appointed. These universities don’t advertise posts reserved for the disabled candidates as mandated by the law. The Apex Court has rightly reprimanded the UGC and issued a notice. Its pertinent to note here that The Sambhavana is the same organization whose spirited advocacy led to large-scale appointments of disabled teachers in Delhi University in 2007 and continues till date. Then The Delhi High Court stopped the funding of DU for violating the law and not honoring the Court’s order. We hope the Apex Court in the public interest will also take stern action of similar kind if other central universities do not abide by the PWDA. Once Again hats off to advocate Pankaj and Sambhavana.
