Hello Aniruddha and Sonu, though private sector doesn't have to follow PWD reservation under RPD act, they have certain other legal obligations so they can't refuse employment to Visually Impaired candidates and other PWD candidates. Some time back there was a job alert where Odisha had reserved 1 % seats for visually impaired person in unaided institutes for teachers if Odisha can follow this norm then why not other institutes?. I think some advocacy needed. All establishments have been brought under the RPWD act. They have to recruit certain portion of PWD workforce. We can challenge this in a court. Experts from legal background can comment on this.
