Dear Srini, all,
Undoubtedly, the scenario has changed for the Visually Impaired people over
the last decade in India not in the vicinity of jobs but almost in every
aspect for that matter, however, the reality still remains far away and the
factual condition is not as easy as you are thinking.
Many of the employers may not refuse you in direct expression but as many of
us have said, people are still reluctant in hiring the people with vision
impairment.
Do you know? Aegis Global, a wel known company working World Wide, having
around 600 disabled people in various offices of it's branch, has yet not
recruited any blind applicant. This is what I have come to know from their
HR officials couple of days back when I had words with them. Although they
don't say that we do not want to hire you, but the picture is Chrystal-clear
and self-explanatory, a company already hired more than 600 people but no
visually impaired? This is the present scenario when we are saying that the
time has been changed now!
I had words with many other organizations on numerous occasions and got very
casual response, "sorry currently we have no suitable post available for Vi's,
we would update you as soon as we come across any job for the blind."
Well it is not a debatable issue since we cannot change the facts and ground
reality by our arguments but if required, I can also endeavor to explain the
possible reasons that why companies do not prefer the people with blindness
in general when they hire the disabled.
I don't believe on those big shows and presentation in which the Corporate
people come and fulfil their corporate social responsibility. Plenties of
job fairs are organized, seminars are conducted but their result is not that
productive and substantial.
In a recently organized job fair, I happened to meet some company HR people,
I was interviewd to know my capability. What instant answer I received from
them? "Amit, the things we have found good with you but we generally do not
give this much of salary for the post of Team Leader. We will consider your
case if we do have any plan in the future." Yes, I was applying for TL and
generally what remuneration I was asking is well given to Team Leaders in
the corporate industry.
So, it is possible that they would not deny the opportunities to you
directly, but then they may have several other excuses to avoid the blind
applicants.
Regards,
Amit Bhatt

Can you please name the companies who stated that they would not employ
totally blind in spite meeting the eligibility?

In fact barring a few companies countable on fingers, hardly do

Amit,
Did you come across any company that deny to offer employment when they
meet
all required criteria and have all necessary skills? I don't think any
company would do that.

The news is indeed great but the interesting thing to be seen that how
many Visually Impaired candidates get the opportunity. I know some
companies and their people who clamed to hire more than 500 disabled
employees but nun of them is a blind candidate!

Hello Renuka,
Thanks for sharing this valuable information in your mail. There is a
lot
of scope in employment in the IT and BPO sector for the disabled. I
do
not understand why they have taken so much time to realise the
potential
of employing the disabled? This is something that could have been
forseen. If the disabled are mentored on the lines of such job or
career
opportunities, it would make it easier for the employers to
transition
such members on board their staff. However, this is great news and I
hope
they will action it faster than we think. I am still waiting for SBI
to
implement those 500 ATM's across India for the disabled, I think that
thought went down the bin after their day ended with the press.
Everyone
gives us great hopes and encouragement but what is actioned after
that??
Sorry if this email sounded blunt, but like me I am sure there are
many
who feel this way but are shy to express their feelings publicly.
