"A special recruitment drive has been initiated recently to fill up backlog vacancies for the posts reserved for persons with disability," Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment D Nepoleon said in a written reply in Rajya Sabha. He was asked whether government has recently taken steps for creating jobs for disabled persons to improve their condition in the country. Mr. Nepoleon informed the House that Section 33 of the Persons with Disability (Equal Opportunity, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, provides for 3 per cent reservation in government employment, including one per cent each for disabled persons suffering from blindness or low vision, hearing impairment and locomotor disability or cerebral palsy. "No sir," Nepoleon replied when asked whether government has issued any direction to private sector also to create jobs for disabled persons. Mr. Nepolean, however, stated that a scheme for providing incentives to the private sector for giving employment to physically challenged persons has been launched with effect from April 1, 2008.
