So at this stage can I concede the point that the work of a Naib Tahsildar
cannot be done by the totally Blind?
Of course in tomorrow's matter I am only fighting for compensation for not
declaring the results of a candidate. Therefore I wont have to get into the
issue.
The problem is that while identifying the post we too have identified Naib
Tahsildar for Low Vision and not Blind.Is this realistic or too pessimestic?
The other issue is that of Partially Sighted . The govt will have to remove
that reservation but they will only put it for the Low Vision and not for
the Blind.
In the meantime Rajesh please send me your disability certificate.
Thanks for the prompt responses.
Waiting for other thoughts on the issue.

Hello Kanchan
The name of tahaseeldar in Rajasthan remains elusive despite my
searches...
However, I vaguely remember he was posted in some training institute for
state revenue department or so, and not in a regular office work.
Regarding job profile of tahaseeldar/naib tahaseeldar, he/she is a officer
of state revenue department entrusted with executing the schemes at the
taluka level.
As such, the work may comprise of supervising the schemes, issue of
various certificates, ensuring post disbursement supervision of
utilization of allocated funds for various works, approving
proposals/notes based on supporting file documents in print/handwriting,
etc.
The work is performed in well lit and ventilated offices!!! and requires
outdoors visits sometimes.
Job requirements may include: reading writing sitting standing etc...
However, most of the file work at the state level is in local language and
due to non availability of reading/scanning technology in local language,
computers/scanners may only be of very limited use.
So, we may say that a totally blind person can perform the work with
reasonable accommodation if such reasonable accommodation includes live
assistance in the form of a clerical assistance.
I think providing live assistance
full time may be construed disproportionate burden as the post is class ii
at the taluka level, and all said and done, a totally blind person is not
in a position to verify the numbers etc. which constitute an indispensable
part of revenue work at taluka level.
So, we may insist on a totally blind person performing the work
effectively only when clerical assistance is provided adequately, and
nature of work entrusted is safe enough to warrant dispensing with cross
verification of data.
Regards
Rajesh
