I'm reproducing my FB post and solicit members responses who appeared for the exam
Let me share my experience with you all,others do share we will write collectively to the CBSE/UGC/HRD Ministry. friends from the media fraternity are humbly requested to cover widely. 1. The UGC and the CBSE have outrightly overlooked the writer guidelines issued by the government of India for conducting exams for persons with disabilities. Instead of verifying candidate-own scribe’s document on the date of examination, The CBSE imposed extra burden and asked blind candidates’ to take permission one day prior to the exam. Now one could easily apply one’s common sense to comprehend the discrimination. When the all non-disabled aspirants were busy doing last-minute preparation, blind candidates struggled from pillar to post in reaching the different centres for availing permission to use writers. Most of them who are very poor, were forced to incur extra money unnecessairily Courtesy the CBSE. 2. My examination centre was in Bosco Public School Pashchim Vihar Delhi. And to my disappointment, CBSE officials didn’t give writer-fee to my scribe. They contended that the CBSE would only provide writer fee to those scribes who were arranged by the schools. I argued that when authorities had verified the documents provided by my scribe and he fulfilled the criteria recquired for writing the exam; why this different treatment meted to him? The CBSE representative again telephoned to the head office and was informed that the CBSE formulated the policy where scribes braught by the candidates would be provided no remuneration. I ask why this discrimination? If need arises I’m determined to go to the Court against the UGC and the CBSE. We’ve faced enough humiliation. Its no more be tolerated. I urge other candidates to share their experiences,we will collate, compile, then correspond with the UGC, CBSE and the HRD Ministry. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
