Friends
As you know ten days special casual leave is given to government employees for
attending disability related programmes.
Ministry of social justice and empowerment has specified as to what bodies
should arrange the programme for such leave to be admissible.
The relevant extract of office memorandum reads as under:
"Ministries/Departments are now informed that it, has been decided in
consultation with Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment that the special
casual leave to the differently abled (^enJ-raL-GUn^rjuiient employees with
disabilitletTas per the above O.MTIaieTTT'iTll.^OO? may be allowed for
participation ijj I'otiti'reMces/worlishons/si'ininars/tnuniims related to
Disability and Disability related programmes organi/ml by I ho following'-
(i) Central Government and Slato/UT Governments;
(ii) Central and Stato/UT Government Institutions/Agencies;
(iii) International agencies like UN, World Hank etc;
(iv) Universities & Educational Institution]* set up by Central/State
Government, recognized as predominant centres for education on rehabilitation
of persons with disabilities and
(v) Recognised institutes for persons with disabilities, under Chapter X
and Chapter XI of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act. l!W.r>
In plain words apart from government bodies and universities, only
organizations registered under disabilities act are covered.
Now, frankly speaking, most of organizations working in the field of disability
are not so registered but have registration under relevant laws for societies
registration or public trust registration.
Here, we have many representatives of NGOs, and so I pose an open question to
them whether organization is registered under persons with disabilities act?
Answer would be most probably no. this is because relevant mechanism was never
set up, and appropriate authority for such registration namely disability
commissioner is hardly functional in most states.
So, it is sure that we won't get special casual leave even for programmes
organized by bit NGOs working in disability field.
I was recently denied SCL for a programme held at a big level by a well known
NGO in maharashtra citing this very Office memorandum of MSJE.
It is high time that we impress upon baboos sitting in MSJE that relevant rule
should provide for organizations working with persons with disabilities
registered under any law for registration of societies in force for the time
being.
The new law even does not provide for any such registration.
What are general opinions?
And, would anybody confirm whether big NGOs like NAB, NFB, AICFB, RSVI, etc.
have this registration under disabilities act?
thanks and regards
