Hi Govind ! You can address me in whichever manner you are comfortable with, dear. I am always available at 098 472 76 126.
I agree with Rajesh's views about the public sector under-utilising persons with disabilities, but, frankly, in these tumultuous times, with EMI payments on home, car or personal loans dangling over one's head, it is indeed a comforting thought to know that one's payslip will keep arriving without fail till the age of retirement. (smile) Having said this, I must hasten to add that even PSUs are not actually safe enough, as I myself discovered in 2004. The then NDA govt was following a policy of strategic disinvestment (viz. diluting a majority stake in public sector units) and a moratorium on retrenchment was built into the Share Holders' Agreement that afforded protection of just one more year of service to the unionized workforce (not officers). The companies that were disinvested (like BALCO, Modern Food Industries Ltd) etc promptly "restructured" their workforce exactly at the end of one year of disinvestment, giving a golden handshake to its disabled employees. I had lengthy telephone consultations with Dr Uma Tule, then CCPD, and legal experts like Dr Bhushan Punani (BPA, Ahmedabad) and they were unanimous in their view that the PWD Act's protection was available only when the government was in control in a unit. The fate of disabled employees in a company after disinvestment was a gray area (and still is, if I am not mistaken) and this was one of the motivating factors for me to opt for voluntary retirement when the Govt put my previous employer on the chopping block. Public sector banks are safer since there seems to be some consensus among political parties that they should not be privatized. However, the safest bet is joining the Government itself. One can find fulfillment in life through other avenues, you know, once financial security is ensured. A lot of so-called equal opportunity employers quietly dumped their disabled resources during the melt-down in 2008. Similar trouble lies ahead with clouds gathering in the economic firmament. All the best for your hunt for a safe harbour...
