Hi, As per the best of my knowledge Narendra's understanding of RPwD on private sector holds true. The law experts in the list might correct in case.
I agree with Minar's comments about training. Also accessibility is not as sought after in Indian companies as of now, although it's no different in many prestigious International organizations. Inaccessibility of internal IT infra makes things challenging. I would also like to talk about one other side of the coin. Many of the MNCs are not very particular about laying off based on stagnancy and bench or stale periods. These are the ones with pay per man plans or stronger balance sheets, IT in particular. I have seen some individuals declining work after work sighting their blindness and inaccessibility of the system, although it might be the most un-important part of the work that is inaccessible, and in most of the case the management is happy to provide an assistance or workaround. Many others don't want to skill-up and sight a reason that they need not to learn anything more for a job. This is a small portion of the population. But people like these are enough to create a stigma against the employability of other V candidates based on their ill-performance. We had discussed in some other thread in the past that a person with VI knows well how to perform stuff with their assistive technologies. And it is in their good to work with persons around and get them work with you in the way you want, not everyone would be aware of how strong an assistive technology is, or what are its limitations. The expectation by some around getting things served with no efforts sometimes makes things worse for other persons of the community.
