My friend, I heard your speech several times at different place. You
understand one thing, private sector always consider visually challenged
employees as their last resource. Certainly they are giving employment
to someone, only to fulfill social responsibilities. I highlight this
point from my experience with private sector. I think, this is because
the influence of social media like, film, news papers and tv channels.
They always try to highlight our incapability.

I think this is absolutely bull shit. Yes grass is not all green at private
sector but it is indeed making an effort. MNC such as IBM are global leader
in diversity and they practice diversity in real sense in India as well.
There are many company such as Pwc, Pepsi, etc.
Please state facts before you reply.

Hello All,
Adding few points :
1. Keep private sector as your last option for employment as government
or public sector has more benefits / security.
2. Equal opportunity employer is just a buzz word as MNC's do not follow
anything and their policies change with countries.
3. Hiring a disabled in private sector is just branding exercise and
fulfilling social responsibility clause.
4. Private sector do not have any policy for promotion , salary
revisions or benefits to PWD's .
5. Private sector will keep PWD's on contracts and there is no arbitrary
or legal protection.
RGDS,
Pankaj Kwatra

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...

Hi Sudeer If I can address you as,
I accept all your views and opinions expressed on the 12th of this
month.
Private companies may provide you with lot of luxuries to get their
work done, but we should always be ready to face cyclones in the form
of global economic recession, performance appraisals, quality
assurance and so on.
I've been working with different private companies including GE global
servicing in hyderabad for the past 3 years.
I've just started struggling to find a good place in the public sector
units.
However I'd like to have your phone number if possible.
