In 2006 Justice Lodha stopped all recruitment in Government until the
backlog for PWD was completed. To overcome this the Government went all
out
for recruitment.
The Ambarnath Municipality had some tests for recruitment. The first
problem
was that the writers were of standard 4 and this was the beginning of the
fight for standard writer guidelines. The other problem brought to my
notice
was that many who wore spectacles were considered as visually challenged
and
were given job. All those who came to me and complained did not follow up
and file complaints with the authorities for investigation. So we know
that
the 40% lower limit is being violated by Mr. X or Y but we don't do
anything
about it.
There are 2 investigations going on in Maharashtra about misuse of
disability certificates. One case is from Yavatmal district regarding
hearing impaired teachers and I think the other one is from Aurangabad but
not sure. What is happening on the inquiry I don't know.
There was a case being investigated in Gujrat and in Karnataka.....
One of the first things Javed Abidi told us years ago was that people
would
try very hard to get a Disability Certificate and that it would become
useful and fashionable.
In India, if the draft PWD Bill becomes law then there will be a lot of
concessions etc for PWD so just like the caste certificate, the Disability
certificate will become a bonus.
Internationally many countries provide reasonable accommodation to all but
concessions and benefits to a few and the cutoff is higher than our 40%.
Also be alerted to the economic situation all over the world where the
State
has diminishing roles and resources.
Keeping the specific problems of the visually challenged in mind I did
write
to the heads of all the 3 National organisations-
NAB, NFB and AICB as to how we got the 40% cut off. I was trying to
understand if there was a reason for 40% or could we try for 50 or even 60
per cent. Somehow the email exchange got into a blame game without anyone
really looking at the problems that the severely disabled face. I will
raise
it again when we really seriously debate the new law.
I have covered 2 issues-one of fake certificates and the other regarding
who
should get a certificate in the first place.
Both these issues are in our hands to some extent. If I know that Mr.X has
a
fake certificate then I got to complain and let the authorities
investigate
and at some time I got to think about who really needs the concession and
how much. The State may not have endless financial resources but it has
endless power to change mindsets and to make things possible.

Hi Pawan,
Any concrete proof?
I hope that you may be aware Newspapers/magazines do prefer to publish
scam news which is backed up by authoritative sources.
Also, Section 69 of PWD act prescribes the punishment for such offence.
Please try to collect as much as information and in detail with regard
to the offence.
Best of luck!!!!!
Regards,
