Dear friends ,
I have given final semester exams for MCA (MASTER OF
COMPUTER APPLICATION) from IGNOU .I am a visually impaired person . i
recently applied for the vacancies for the openings in SAIL as Management
trainee (Technical) and ONGC as Graduate Trainee (Engineer). But you will
be surprised to know that I was not even able to submit the form , Inspite
of having , filled up the challan ! .
Both forms were rejected online .Both say that that they are providing the
reservations as per PWD ACT 1995.
click the following links for ADVERTISEMENT ......
ONGC
http://ongcgt11.in/
and
SAIL
http://sail.shine.com/
http://119.226.214.34/SAIL/onlineform/
But when i read the advertisement , I read Only HH (hearing handicapped )
is allowed for the reservation in that category , When the law clearly
mentions that their is 3% reservation for the PWD (persons with
disability ) 1 % for each category. Now if you understand , what i am
talking about , can somebody please answer me few questiosn .........and if
possible me with a proper solution :_
1. Is a person VH (low vision (Not blind )), not suitable for a programming
job?
2. I am finding myself to be the lone person in this situation
,............am i the only one who is going through this situation .
3. Ok , tell me if a company is hiring you as a Management Trainee or a
Graduate Trainee for say 2 years .........after that they have and will give
anyone with a permanent designation say (Junior Engineer, system Engineer,
............., etc ). So is it not a discrimination to not hiring a person
just because he has weak eyes ............Can't you hire for some other
programming related job ?
4. Is all my years of HardWork and Effoerts for coming upto a level after
clearing 10th then 12th ......then BSc (Computer Science ) and finally MCA
...........all in goes Vain ? Tell me how many persons with this disability
, come this for ? Am i not even eligible to appear for appearing in the
first round (Written Exam ) ? ..........leave about ever clearing the
interview ......
5. Both SAIL and ONGC are Government sector companies , so if this is the
case with Government sector companies , the companies who call themselves
"EQUAL OPPORTUNITY COMPANY " , what about the private sector .............
6. I have neither the energy nor patience to fight this discrimination
.......Any Good suggestion or possible Legal opinion ? ...........may be
similar to this one , which goes in my favour !
7. No single person can fight the whole system ..........If this has
happened with me today ,,,,,,,,perhaps it may happen to anyone ..........
Just think about a person , who while completing his degree In computers
.......
say BE (Computer ) or MCA , OR MSC (C S ) looses his vision partially due
to may be accident .......Is his all life a waste ? ...........or in other
words he should never think about programming ! Is it justified ?
8. i have come across only two companies which has similar policies for
recruitment .............SAIL and ONGC ............God knows how many more
are there ..........life is tough ,,,,,,,,,,,feeling already down and
frustated ...........
and this is just the beginning ...........just think about the harassment
if you get into these companies ..........
Please any solution fast , time is running for me ........ (Just think about
a person , who has done all his life , nothing else but programming
..........who thinks that one day he should be working in a software
company ).
I don't have much options to talk to people sitting at higher level.
How many of you feel that i should start looking for other jobs in private
sector ?
waiting for reply
