Hello list member
As per the information disseminated by the Public Information officer of SBI
Through their Ref. No: RTI/2007 dated 26 March 2009 confirm this matter in the
following way:
Although there is no reservation in promotion from clerical to officers' cadre
in respect of "Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)" none of the eligible
candidates is denied opportunity in the selection process for promotion to
officers' cadre. But the medical fitness standards for visual acuity for
recruitment/promotions to officers' cadre for all the candidates have been
fixed as under:
a) Refractory corrections: 6/9 for better eye and, 6/12 for worse eye, in
both cases with corrective lenses.
b) Near Vision: N6 or better
c) Myopia :(-) 8D or better without lenses.
A candidate whose eye sight has been rectified within this range by refractive
surgery/implantable contract lens would also be acceptable.
d) Hyper metropia: + 6.00 or better.
' A candidate whose eye sight has been rectified within this range by
refractive surgery/implantable contract lens would also be acceptable.
As stated above, there is no reservation in promotion from clerical to
officers' cadre for 'Persons with Disabilities.' Reservation in promotion from
subordinate to clerical cadre is also not there, the direct recruitment in
clerical cadre in our bank being more than 75%.
From the above information personally I understood that visually challenged
persons (specially totally blind persons) are not eligible to get promotion
from clerical to officer cadre even through the none reservation procedure, it
is amazing that, one side SBI is giving opportunity to appoint as a PO through
direct recruitment but in another side they are ignoring the experience holder
of the SBI to promote as a officer.
At the end I can conclude that, in the current scenario, those visually
challenged person who is appointed or willing to appoint as a clerk in the SBI,
don’t think future development through promotion in SBI, but I am sure this
scenario will not remain same, definitely they have to change their attitude by
framing conducive policies towards disabilities.
