Dear Kanchan Madam, Namastee. I am not fully conversent in the issue on hand, but desire to share some thoughts with you. I hope that I am not fully off the mark. I remember to have heard about a blind person, who functioned as a office superintendent in PWD , Karnataka. He happened to be the father of one of my friends and I had heard that he used to work with the assistance of some clerical staff. This is some twenty to twenty five years back when there was no such assistive technologies as we are having today. Further, in government, cadre is important and a VI person can always be given other performable tasks in the same cadre. A good example is in respect of IAS, where VI persons cannot perform the line duties associated with the posts of an Assistant Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner (District Collector). But it is now a matter of fact that VI persons are eligible to get into IAS. Hope my above submissions are relevant. With regards Niranjan
